Here’s another little holiday shoot my husband recently shot of my boys and I…. I love how he captured their different personalities, and the varied dynamics of our relationships! Jude, my eldest boy, is very thoughtful, sensitive, loving, gentle, kind, and protective of me. Charlie, my youngest, is…. well, a stinker through and through. đŸ˜‰
Falling for Overalls
So, the overall trend was something I was a liiiiittle reluctant to try about a year-and-a-half ago. I tried them, but didn’t think it was for me – because I didn’t buy a great-fitting pair that first time. That all changed this past spring, when I discovered the ones I’m wearing below by Madewell. Now
Go West, Young Lassa
Oooooookay. So, I just got a new pair of jeans from good ol’ J.Crew, and I am in love. High waist, buttons, patch pockets, cropped, black wash…. I dig it all. I didn’t intentionally set out to go all westerny with this look, but I kinda love that it happened! I’m embracing my inner Oregonian
Last Rays of Summer
I can’t believe we’re nearing the end of August! How did that happen?? Fall is right around the corner, butttt. It’s still summer, guys. Still time to get some more wear out of those shorts, and go for those lazy ice cream strolls with the fam. Planning to make the most of it! Popover: J.Crew | Short Trench:
Sisters in Sisters
So, I recently got to spend the whole week with part of my family that I haven’t seen in three years! One of the many highlights was getting to spend a full day with my two younger sisters….. in none other than the adorable town of Sisters, Oregon (of course!). We had the best time!!
Trending: Fringe + Lace-ups
It’s no secret that fringe and lace-up shoes are having a major moment right now, and this mama has been slurping that cool aid for a while now – totes lovin’ it. đŸ˜‰ I love my new fringe addition! Mine is olive, but it comes in other colors, too (blush + black). Such a fun
Devil's Lake
Some snaps from a beautiful afternoon spent at a pretty little lake, with a naughty little name… đŸ˜‰ Devil’s Lake, Oregon Top: J.Crew Factory | Jeans: Madewell | Leather Jacket: Gar de (old – similar) | Watch: The Horse | Sunnies: Ray-Ban | Shoes: Converse That water, though! It’s even more beautiful in person –
Summertime Repeats
So, last week was amazzzzing. I got to spend it with a few of my siblings and their families, of whom I haven’t seen for 3 years!! I got to meet my older brother’s a-d-o-r-a-b-l-e 10-month-old for the first time ever!! Beyond blessed and grateful for that time together. I’m ready for a repeat. Speaking
Some Colorful Sunday
On your mark, be set (as my 3-year-old says), goooo….. full on color!! And add a little fringe while you’re at it, because I’m positive you can’t have a bad day if you’re wearing some. Here’s what I wore to church this past Sunday, and some snaps of back-parking-lot races, afterwards. đŸ˜‰ Top: J.Crew Factory
Presto Chango
Don’t you just love using things you’ve had for a while in a fresh, new way? Well, I sure do! I’ve had this linen vest for quite a while, and have just used it as a light layering piece, but something made me want to try wearing it as a top this week. When I
