Easter is upon us and some may even argue the same thing for spring!* The change of season, promise of renewed life, and even a warm, albeit brief, breeze is all the motivation us shopaholics need to pick up some refresher pieces for our closets. It’s a holiday weekend so that may mean several or
Chic Street
We shot this on theeee most beautiful day in Portland. Bright blue skies, blooming, flowering beauties everywhere…. My husband and I just spent the morning exploring the city, and here are some snaps of one my favorite streets near China Town. Shirt: Banana Republic | Jeans: Madewell | Jacket: Madden Girl (similar style) | Clutch: J.Crew
Wearing the Sunshine
Good morning! So. It seems I’m always busting out my trusty, yellow, J.Crew coat this time of year, and I think it’s because we’re usually teased with spring-like weather, only to be yanked back to gloomy, snowy, slushy winter (such is the nature of transitional weather, I know). Wearing my yella fella just helps to compensate
Flared Up
Ready your ankles because there’s about ta be a whole lotta room in the region below your calf and above your foot. That’s right, wide-leg, flared, and trouser jeans are staking a claim for legitimacy this season. The ol’ skinny jean + heel look is a trusty standby but now the fashion gods are asking
Blushin' Blooms
The day we shot this just might have been the windiest day I have experienced in a long while – perhaps ever – but in between mighty gusts, it was also one of the loveliest. Rows and rows of cherry blossom trees in full bloom, showering petals like pink fairy dust, was just a magical sight to
Some Enchanted Evening
This past weekend, my husband and I headed to Portland for a work thing, but we made it a fun, kidless, relaxing getaway (thanks to amazing in-laws!!). We attended an awards ceremony one of the nights, and since it wasn’t formal, I decided to pair my Anthropologie lace top with a jumpsuit I’ve had for ages.
Why You Should Care About Fashion Week
Sound the bell and close the FW15 books, for as the sun set in Paris on Friday, fashion month finally came to a close. Air France air jets destined for LGA and LAX are loaded up with lucky exhausted fashion market editors who just underwent an immense intake of fabric and aesthetics – not
A Colorful Spring in My Step
This weather transition thing is tricky. It can be downright hot in the middle of the afternoon in direct sunlight, and then freezing in the mornings/evenings, or even just in the shade! Layers are key, but because I’m all ready for spring, and the warm, sunny moments tell me it’s spring, I’m ditching drab, blacks
Hi Ya, Sunny!
Oh, my Jude. He’s my biggest baby with the biggest heart. I should clarify big: he was born two weeks early, weighing 8.3 lbs (he would have been over a whopping 9 if he went full term!), and he arrived hungry. And is still always hungry. For the first year of his life, he was
Pale Blue Sunset
Not gonna lie; this week has been so beautiful and wonderful in many ways, but it has also been brutally long, hard, and emotionally draining. All I have to say is…. T.G.I.F. !!! I hope we’re all able to enjoy a lovely, relaxing, rejuvenating weekend. -Carrie Mama x 4 + SMP Founder Shop My Look (scroll
