Happy almost-4th! I know people – bloggers – have been wearing and posting 4th of July looks all week (which I find a little strange), but this look is unintentionally playing the blue and white game (hence, no red!)? I wore this last week for a night out in Cabo with my one-and-only – such a
Blazer of Glory
I’m talking white blazers, y’all. They’re important. Why? ‘Cause they make you look like you half tried when you didn’t, really. I’ve owned an ivory one for forever, but I’ve always had my eye out for a really good white one for a while now…. There’s just something about crisp-white that commands attention. Enter: Nordstrom.
Beachin' it in Cabo
Still going through mannny, many photos from my recent vacay in Cabo, but here’s a first look at this gig. I decided to start off strong (before I lose my nerve) with a swimsuit post. Kind of like ripping off the bandaid. 😉 I can’t say enough great things about this suit, but in short,
Haberdashering Around
So, I’ve been on the hunt for a good panama hat for a while, now. For some reason, most of them fit super small, or have this weird, buldgy, bubble thing going on, on top. End result: not flattering. Enter good ol’ Madewell…. Their panama hat is the product of a Biltmore collab. “Eric Lynes, the
Caboose Coordinated
Oh. My. Flares. I recently bought the pair I’m wearing in this post from Madewell, and literally gasped when I tried them on! The fit is perfection. I’m such a happy mama right now! Madewell strikes, again!!! Cropped Shirt: J.Crew (sold out – similar) | Flares: Madewell | Square Scarf: H&M | Sunnies: Ray-Ban |
Fringe Benefits
Fringe. It’s no secret it’s here in a big way, and will continue to be a major fall trend, as well. Even it wasn’t trending, I’d wear it! It’s just such a funnnn texture to add to a look, and can instantly lend attitude and personality to your simple basics – like this easy, travel
School Boy Meets Girl
It was so great to visit San Francisco last week! I had just recently taught my older two kiddos about the 1906 “Great San Francisco Earthquake” in our history class, so when we announced our arrival, as we started driving through this wonderful city, my 6-year-old son gasped, “Wow!” He looked quickly all around, and then
Boy Shorts
So. Boy shorts are pretty much the best summer staple ever. I recently bought a pair from Madewell, and find myself reaching for them all the time, now that it’s getting summer-hot out. I styled this pair with my “glasses” top, again. Repeat offender, I know, but I actually shot both of those looks the
Not-So-Mumsy Mum Suits
“Some people are cuter than us.” This is what my 7-year-old daughter stated flatly to me the other day, with a big ol’ question in her eyes. It came out of nowhere, and caught me by surprise. The way she said it, sounded like she was internalizing this new idea that she was somehow not special.
Totes Got Ya Covered for Summer
Summah time!! The promise of loads of time spent at the beach or pool, means the need for some serious summer tote shopping. 😉 I’ve shopped a variety for you, below, starting at $15 and on up. I am loving all of them!! It’s a problem. Here’s a few snaps of one of mine I
