Whew! It’s been a crazy few weeks up in here, with no signs of slowing for at least another bit. Nonetheless, I am feeling super charged (with the aid of coffee, of course). Make no mistake, I’m pretty exhausted, but the gorgeous, spring weather has me all hoppity. There’s just something about bright, warm sunshine, clear, blue
All About That Fray, Hey!
Gooood morning! I had THE best time last night at Anthropologie’s pre-opening party for their store in Portland! I met so many incredible, and super talented people – including a woman that was on the team that created the dress I wore to the event. She took a snap of me to send to the designer
Huggable, Lovable Flares
As a treat, we took our kiddos to see Zootopia yesterday before dinner. It was so cute!! What wasn’t so cute, was an older lady’s attitude, loudly pronounced, right next to us. She made it passive-aggressively clear to us, via her husband, that she was very unhappy we decided to sit in her row, and
Oh-veralls!
Overalls are not only still around, but they’re also turning out to be a huge trend for spring. Just to clarify…. I’m not big on “staying on trend;” I find that whole idea to be pretty superficial and inauthentic, because personal style should be YOU – not trends mounted on top of each other. That
The Micro Bag + a Gorj Giveaway
Have you seen how cute, and little bags are getting now? They are all about being micro’d and structured these days. So, bags are getting smaller…. phones are getting bigger. Makes no sense, but fashion bear don’t care! I already have a few micros I wear on pretty heavy rotation, but just added a new, black
The Wednesday Waltz
Gooood morning! Wednesdays always feel a bit like a fast-paced dance to me – a lot has to happen, and it takes quick mama thinking, COFFEE, and practiced, precisely-executed, choreographed, dance moves to get everything done, and little people where they need to be on time. And COFFEE. It’s a lot o’ wurrrk, and I
A Little Undone
I follow J.Crew’s style motto of “leave something just a little bit undone” to the letter, most days – mostly by accident (I’m a mom of 4 young things! Something is always undone!). Like an un-ironed, travel-rumpled shirt? Nailed it. Honestly though, I love my clothes to feel, and be, lived in – makes me
Spring Boots
I get asked about boots a lot, and for good reason! Boots go with everything, and are the type of shoe you can wear pretty much year ’round (maybe just not July – feet need some breathing room that month). So, I thought I’d share with you two of my current go-to pairs (also seen and
Catch of the Day
Oooh, it feels like spring, and Mama has brand new stripes + flares. Life is good. We took our little ducklings to a small harbor with a park recently, and it was so nice to be outside in the mild, sunny weather, just watching boats, and running around on the grass. When life is simple,
Sporty Spice
Come on, youuu remember the Spice Girls, right?? Sooo, tell me whatcha want, whatcha really, really want… I jammed OUT to that many a time back in the day. My favorite was Sporty Spice, because I was kind of a jock/tomboy, and was way more interested in sports than fashion at the time. I thought wearing
