Stripes and a Scarf

February 12, 2016September 11, 20173 Comments

Oh my goodness! I’m so excited that we are starting to get glimpses of spring here. I crave the warm weather, and I’m usually over winter after only a couple of weeks. With the weather transitioning, I always find it hard to plan my outfits. In the morning it still feels like you need a winter coat and by the afternoon you are ready to bust out the flip flops and shorts! The best thing I’ve found to stay comfortable all day is an amazing scarf. So nice when you are a little chilly, but not uncomfortable as it warms up. This one from Piper Street is perfection. So cozy and versatile. I love it! It also pairs so well with this striped top. This top is the softest. I love how it has a little stretch, but keeps its shape! Sometimes I’m afraid to mix patterns, but it’s fun to coordinate when you put these colors together!

These jeans and booties are also from Piper Street and I wear them on repeat! For real, like every day. I love them both. Comfortable enough to run errands in, and cute enough for a night out!

Seaport Stitches

February 7, 2016February 12, 2016Leave a comment

When I was pregnant with my first daughter, I remember the moment I realized how important my diaper bag would be and how much I instantly cared so much about it! I needed it to be so many things, but most of all, I needed it to look amazing. It wasn’t until after I had my baby that I realized the functionality is just as important. I wish I had this bag and clutch from Seaport Stitches when I started my mom journey! I have been obsessing over it from afar for a long time and now I get compliments on it daily. It definitely checks the “looks amazing” box! The best part about it, though, it also checks the functionality box! Some of my favorite features include the zipper across the top (keeping those sweet baby hands from emptying it all day) the pockets lining the inside, the large outside pockets, and best of all-> the convertible strap. It can be a backpack or a messenger bag style just by adjusting the clips. I never knew I could be so in love with a backpack!

My other new obsession is my diaper clutch. I almost can’t believe how much I love it. My favorite part (other than how stinkin cute it is) is the built in pocket for wipes! No more carrying around a separate wipe container, and diapers, and a wallet, and your phone, and your lipgloss, and your keys…goodness! This beauty fits IT ALL in one darling little package. I carry it with me all the time and when I also need toys, food, books, blankets (I could go on and on) I just throw it in my diaper bag as well. Honestly, it has made those quick trips to the store, school, or friend’s house so much nicer! They come in lots of cute designs too. Love love love! Make sure you check out these bags, they sell out crazy fast. I can totally see why!

Hope you enjoy your day! XO Thank you to Seaport Stitches for sponsoring this post! Also, thank you to Stayc Smart Photography for the photos. Check her out on instagram @staycsmartphotography

Holiday Shopping with Penny+Boss

December 16, 2015Leave a comment

Confession time…I’m super old. Well, not in real life, just compared to my husband. We grew up together and even attended the same high school, just not at the same time…Yeah, he was in 8th grade when I graduated haha! Anyway, he has lots of really great friends that I didn’t know growing up (and some that I did know, considering I babysat them) that now I get to be friends with too! I hear all kinds of stories about them, and pretend I was there too. So, he has this friend from high school named Suzy. She’s like insane talented, creative, beautiful, etc so obviously I decided to piggy back on their friendship. Thankfully, she and her friend Sydney started a blog named Penny and Boss. I love it, and I’m sure you will too! Maybe we will get lucky and some of their coolness will rub off on us 🙂

Suzy was in town and we decided to do a little holiday shopping together, and I’ll share some of the darling things we found with you! Our friend Chantel is an amazing photographer, and we were lucky enough to have her with us! Check out her beautiful photos on instagram @chantelcheriephoto she really is so talented! Contact her at chantelmoorhouse@gmail if you want some awesome photos done

First, my favorite holiday gift idea for you are these earrings and bracelet! The earrings are so neat, they are 3D and catch the light so beautifully. Both the earrings and the bracelet are from Roma Designer Jewelry and made from sterling silver. They are overlaid with rhodium (a precious metal closely related to platinum) to resist scratches, abrasion, and corrosion. They would be a perfect gift for any/all your favorite people…or maybe just for yourself! Use the code “FRIENDLY25” to get 25% off your purchase through the Roma Designer Jewelry site. I’m in love!

Suzy, Chantel, and I had way too much fun shopping at Anthropologie and Paperie and Pen. I could buy everything in those stores (and as a result, have the most darling house in the world) but I had my sweet husband there to pull in the reigns. He is so patient haha I absolutely loved this cute mistletoe…and of course, this handsome man!

My top picks from Anthropologie are here, here, here, here…aaaand here! Are you kidding me with those aprons?! Also, love this shot of the bracelet from earlier!

Paperie and Pen had some of the most darling gifts, like this. Of course, they also had the cutest paper (we may have gotten in trouble for this one…oops)

Long story short, we had way too much fun…but then again, there’s no such thing! Happy shopping 🙂

Holiday Sparkle

December 3, 2015January 17, 20162 Comments

The Holidays are so much fun! I feel like there are wonderful, kind things happening all around that warm my heart. It has been magical to experience all the joy with my sweet little girls! They make everything better.

Another thing I think is fun about the Holidays, is that you can dress up a little more. Also, you get to drop hints to your significant other for awesome things like these earrings and ring from Roma Designer Jewelry! Sneaky, sneaky! Seriously though, I’m in love with these. I sold engagement rings during my college years, and I fell in love with this style of ring. I have wanted one ever since, and this one is amazing! I just stare at it every time I wear it. The way that it, and the earrings, catch the light is beautiful! They are made with Preciosa crystals, which have their own unique faceting making them some of the brightest crystals produced.

Roma Designer Jewelry is so generous to offer a discount code for my friends so you can shop with them and receive 25% off! Use the code “friendly25” on their site, click HERE to shop!

Hope you are enjoying your week, and all the delicious hot cocoa options out there this month!

Huge thank you to Stayc Smart Photography for these photos! She has been my friend for almost my entire life, and I love her. Check her out on Instagram @staycsmartphotograhy!

Perfect Plaid

November 23, 2015January 17, 20164 Comments

I love wearing dresses! However, most of the time I can’t wait to get back into my sweats as soon as possible. Finding a dress and shoe combo that I want to wear all day long is gold! This plaid shirt dress and boots from Piper Street Shop are just that. I’m totally loving the details on these boots. Also, I can comfortably wear them running errands, helping in my daughter’s classroom, carrying my babe all over, you name it! Pretty sweet.

You will be seeing much more from Piper Street on here in the future, which is fun for all! If you haven’t already shamelessly stalked their cute stuff, you should get on that. You won’t be sorry. They come out with new releases all the time too, so get ready for Christmas all year long!

Sorry I have been a little MIA! So many fun things going on, I’m figuring out how to do it all and not have my children starve or my house be condemned haha. If you have any tips or great books on how to balance life, I’d love to know them! It’s really a bummer that I have to learn everything in life from experience. If I could just glean all the amazing knowledge from others, I would save myself a lot of time haha! Maybe I’ll learn how to do that some day ha but until then…another white board to-do list it is! 🙂

I have yet to find a person that doesn’t think baby shoes are the cutest ever. They just are. I love them, but I have a hard time keeping them on Viv’s feet. She will kick and pull on them until she gets them off! BUUUT…not these cute little shoes from Little Head to Toe! She wears them all day and loves it. I don’t blame her. They look amazingly comfortable, and adorable. What more could she want from shoes!?

Holding on to Summer in Mommy Daughter Dresses

August 10, 2015January 24, 2016Leave a comment

Welcome to part two of our mommy and me collaboration with my girl Sandy! She is so much fun, I love that we were able to get together. In case you missed it on the first post, we both have baby girls named Vivian, and they are only about a month apart. They were so cute playing on the grass together! I loved seeing their sweet little personalities come out. If you haven’t checked out Sandy’s blog yet, you are missing out! She is inspiring in so many ways, find her here. We wanted to do a dressier look with our girls, that still felt like summer. I love when an outfit is comfortable, cute, and functional for mommyhood!

I’m so excited to be able to offer you a coupon code for free shipping on your order from Lucky Lamb and Co. Go check them out, fall in love, and use the code VIVIAN2 to get your free shipping!

Mommy and Me: Babies and Bloomers

August 5, 20152 Comments

A few months ago I met this awesome girl, Sandy, when we were both modeling for Happy Baby Wrap. She was so sweet and of course, darling! We both happened to have baby girls named Vivian and they are only about a month apart! She is an amazing blogger, check her out here! She totally inspires me. I don’t know how she balances so many talents and motherhood with such style and grace! She is wonderful. We decided to team up with our cute babes and bring you a joint mommy and me post! I died when I saw these bloomers we got from Tiny Tot Threads. They are so fun. They also have lots of adorable dresses I have been eyeing!

Photos by LC Photography. She was wonderful to work with!

Both Vivians were pretty happy and interactive until we added these Loulou Lollipop teething necklaces. Then my Viv was obsessed, and I couldn’t get her to focus on anything else haha. At one point she was actually double fisting, stuffing them into her mouth. Ha it was intense. To say she loved them would be an understatement!

I love when Sandy and I have conversations about our girls because we each say, “my Viv” whenever we refer to them. Makes me laugh!

These bows from Little Cans are so neat because they come with three colors of clip on bows and two sizes for the headband. I love how customizable they are!

My top is from The Rambler Boutique, Jeans from Gap

Loose Waves

August 1, 20154 Comments

Loose waves are my go-to hairstyle because they make a great base for other styles, and they are so easy to wear. Even in bad weather or if it is windy outside! Just looks like you meant for them to be all crazy. With the right techniques, also, my curls will last for days! I am still on the hunt for a thermal curling spray that isn’t crunchy or sticky, yet actually holds curls, but I have yet to find one I like. I’ll keep you posted if I do! For now, I use Smooth and Seal by Sexy Hair to prep my hair before curling. That product has my heart. I’m obsessed. Next, I start from the bottom of my hair and section off about a third of it. Clip the top hair out of the way so you have clean sections. Once you have curled the bottom section, let down another one and clip the rest out of the way. The cleaner you can make your sections, the better. Then you won’t miss any hair and have straight pieces all over. More than any product or technique I have used, curling my hair with a flat iron is hands down my favorite method. It gives me control over how curly or loose I want it, as well as holding my curl longest. Just a warning, if you haven’t curled with a flat iron before, it’s going to take practice! Keep trying, you will get better and faster. I can now curl my hair in 1/3 of the time it used to take me with a curling iron. I’m working on a video for flat iron curls so you can see how I do mine. I’m still learning about video editing and all that jazz, so it takes me a while to make one, but I’ll get it up as soon as I can. In the meantime, play around with it, and check out these products if you want! Once I have my hair curled how I want, I hairspray and use Flip it Over spray wax to create separation. Don’t use very much! It will ruin everything. Just a little here and there at the very end. Good luck!

Also, I love the details on this top from The Rambler Boutique, check them out!

Comfy and Chic (but mostly comfy)

July 7, 20158 Comments

I’m going to be honest…I would way rather be in sweats than dressed up any day of the week, and usually I am. I never thought an outfit could change my mind, but this one totally has. I have to talk myself out of wearing this skirt to bed. Its amazing, so soft and stretchy. Also, it’s long enough to juggle small children without needing a third arm to keep it in place. That is probably what I appreciate most as I’m carrying Viv in one arm, my diaper bag and carseat in the other, and attempting to corral Myla with just my feet. As for this top, so comfy too! I love that it has such a unique design with the open back, but still has structure. It’s from the Rambler Boutique, if you haven’t checked them out yet, make sure you do! They have really unique clothing and jewelry, and it’s run by two of the greatest girls I know!

Hope you have a wonderful week! I have a fun collaboration coming up this week so stay tuned!
