Extend Your Summer Nights

View More: http://staycsmartphotography.pass.us/boldbeautifullife

I’m still in denial a bit that school is starting in a couple weeks and that summer is coming to an end 😦 My summer loving heart never wants it to leave! We have been trying to make the most of every day.  If you are like us, you may also be clinging to summer, and wanting a way to extend your summer nights!

The girls and I have spent a lot of nights this summer watching their dad play lacrosse on his summer league.  We are usually using my phone to take pictures, dance to music, chat with grandparents, etc while we “watch” 🙂 By some crazy miracle (they lost most of the games this season) they actually make it to the playoffs and clawed their way to a victory last night! If you hurry, you can catch my cute husband’s championship victory dance on my Instagram story haha (@savanahpoulsen)

Since we use my phone all day (mainly for our dance parties) and now we also use it all night, my battery just cant keep up! I’m so grateful for my portable charger from MOXYO 🙂 It carries a full charge on it and has saved us many times! By saved us, I mean made it possible for Myla to take more selfies because you know those are GOLD haha

Documenting our fun times together is something that is super important to me.  It’s nice to know I have my MOXYO charger to help! This cute case is also from MOXYO and I love it.  It is sleek and since my phone is gigantic, it’s great to have a case that doesn’t add any bulk!

The Summer Dress

Sometimes in life you are lucky enough to find an item of clothing you want to wear every day.  Even more rare is when you find one that you want to wear every day and also could wear every night! Ha I have to convince myself not to wear this Summer Dress from Brick + Main 24 hrs a day, every day.  It is amazing!

I love that it is loose and flowy. Never thought I would find something that I’m grateful doesn’t have some kind of structure or shape to help me out, but I’ll take it!

Want to know the best part? It. Has. POCKETS! I’m still not really sure why people are so obsessed with pockets, but I’m just going to jump right on that bandwagon.  Pockets are pretty sweet.  Especially being a mom and having to carry around all those goldfish crackers.  Brick + Main is so wonderful and have offered a discount code for all of you through August 9th! Use “SAVANAH15” to save 15%

Summer flow dress! White light summer and spring style for women and moms. Tie knot dress.

I love to wear the front knotted, but as you can see from the top pic, it’s also great down.  And according to my daughter, “knotted is just super weird.”  I happen to disagree with her, it is actually “just super cute!” It adds a fun touch.  I also wore a cotton slip under my dress because the side slits are a little too high for me.  I guess I could learn to sew and stitch them down a bit buuuuuut…the dusty sewing machine I bought seven years ago and haven’t touched since says I might as well just wear the slip 🙂

Blonde and light brown hair styles for long hair, long loose curls and waves. I paired this dress with some of my favorite jewelry pieces.  Of course, my Arvo watch is always a staple.  I recently received this knotted bangle from Casa de Delia and I’m obsessed.  It is so perfect.  I also got the top necklace(Evil Eye) in my stack from Casa de Delia.  I love how dainty it is and it honestly goes with everything!  The bar and charm necklaces are from my sweet friend at Made by Mary.  They are personalized with initals of my darling family.  I cherish them! View More: http://staycsmartphotography.pass.us/boldbeautifullife

Scalloped Details

There is nothing better than hanging with my girls! I love their cute little personalities and getting to spend every day with them.  I also love wearing things that make it easy to be comfortable to play around with them! Enter, this top!Scalloped top from Brick and Main! Lovely short sleeved shirt with feminine detail!

Nothing beats a top that is functional and darling! Little details really make a big difference in my opinion. The scallops on this top from Brick + Main are my favorite! The sleeves and length are also perfection.  View More: http://staycsmartphotography.pass.us/boldbeautifullife

My sweet Myla has so much energy and her silliness is contagious! I just love joking around with her.  If only I could bottle her up haha!View More: http://staycsmartphotography.pass.us/boldbeautifullifeView More: http://staycsmartphotography.pass.us/boldbeautifullife

I learn all my crazy faces from her!  Give them a shot, a good silly face can totally brighten your day 🙂

The Awristacrat from Arvo

arvo wear awristacrat- Women's watch simple style

This blogging adventure is still pretty new to me.  It has been so humbling and exciting to have it go from an outlet for love of hair styling to something that connects me with so many amazing people and companies.  I have made incredible friends and I’m grateful for those connections!  3 (1 of 1)

One of my favorite companies I have gotten to know is Arvo.  They are amazing!  Not only do I love their watches, but they give so much back.  I love their mission: Be good. Do good.

They released some new designs, and honestly, all of them are beautiful!  This is the Awristacrat, and it immediately caught my eye.  I have been wanting a black watch for a long time.  This one is my favorite!2 (1 of 1)

They are so generous to offer a discount code to us! Check out their beautiful styles HERE and use the code SAVANAH15  (remember, I spell it a little weird 😉 there is only one “n”)6 (1 of 1)

I’m grateful and honored to be connected with Arvo.  Thank you for everything you do! Also, if you have a company or you are an influencer, make sure you check out their app Collabor8! It, like them, is wonderful!

Have an amazing week, my friends!

Little Besties

viv (1 of 1)

One of my motherhood dreams has always been for my kids to be good friends.  It melts my heart to see it happening with these two babes! I worried a little bit when I was pregnant with Viv.  They are five years apart and I thought it might make it hard for them to become good friends, but I was totally wrong! They are the most darling little friends and want to be together all the time.  I love it!

Most days Myla begs to get Viv dressed and pick out her clothes.  I let her for the most part, but sometimes the outfits get a little crazy haha! I love having things like this cute poppy jumper from Little Cottonwood that make it easy and look adorable.  PS it is on sale 😉viv1 (1 of 1)

shirt4 (1 of 1)

I tried to play with Viv a bit, but she was NOT having it haha! She just wanted her sister, or to be doing her own thing.  Unless I bribed her with a fruit snack haha.  She still had a bit of a scowl, though.  See pic below 🙂

My flowy white top is from Cozy Threads Boutique, and I am loving it.  I can’t get enough of tops that are comfortable and easy, while still looking good! Check out their site and use code COZY25 for 25% off your purchase!

Flybird Tees on Repeat

An amazing tee is hard to beat!  I have had my eye on a few at Flybird for a long time, and I finally got my hands on this one and this one!  They are just as great as I imagined they would be.  The designs are so unique, and easily dressed  up or down.  I have been wearing mine on repeat since I got them!

Flybird T-shirt! Women's stripped tee with floral sleeves. Comfy casual mom life style!

This “Alive” tee is so soft! It is light and easy to wear.  Not to mention the detail on the sleeve is my favorite!

The “In the Clouds” tee is definitely my go-to! I can’t resist anything black, white, or grey.  I love how simple it is, yet still completely original!

Flybird t shirt with contrasting sleeves! Super cute t shirt for spring. Mom style, casual comfy clothes

I love the detail on the bottom, as well as the contrast of the fabric on the sleeves.

Switching Things up with Eye Buy Direct

swtiching eye buy direct

I love wearing glasses! However, you may not know that considering I don’t wear them on here that much.  Mostly because I haven’t had fun frames with personality and style!  I decided I wanted to try switching things up with Eye Buy Direct.  I love their clean modern style, and now that I have the Theory frames in Cognac, I may have to try all the styles!

Women's fashion and style. Casual fall outfit with jean jacket. Styling eyeglasses frames too!

I love how changing up something small can alter the whole look!  Since having these frames, I have had a lot of fun creating outfits that coordinate.

Sometimes as a mom, running around crazy most of the time, I need something to switch up the day to day.  I love having the option of wearing glasses vs. contacts now!

Perfect Peplum

I am always on the go, and I prefer to be comfortable (as I have said a hundred times before haha) It is THE BEST to find something that looks great and also feels great!  This perfect peplum top from Hope Ave. is just that for me.  I wear it as often as I can get away with!

hope ave1

I love the loose fit, as well as the ruffle and open back!  It’s all in the details, right?

hope ave4

These black jeans are also pretty amazing.  My dad always made fun of me when I was younger for having tears in my jeans, but I love it haha! He would ask if I got a discount for them already being worn out.  Any of your parents feel that way too?

Perfect Peplum top! White flowy shirt for summer and spring. Mom style, women's fashion.

My perfect peplum, perfectly torn jeans, and perfect black booties are all from Hope Ave.  When I walked into the store, I was honestly like a kid in a candy store.  Or I guess, like myself in a candy store ha! I could have bought everything in there.  I can’t wait to go back!

hope ave6

I finally got some planting done this last week so our house is looking more like a home (or at least like it’s actually occupied haha) I wish yard work was a passion and talent of mine.  Maybe I’ll get there someday!  I hope you had an amazing Mother’s Day weekend, and enjoy your week ahead XO

Long loose braid with light brown hair. Braids and hairstyles to copy.

Thank you to Hope Ave. for working with me on this post.

 

Anniversary Trip and a Rad Swimsuit

IMG_9485

A couple weeks ago, Brian and I were able to sneak away for an anniversary trip to this gorgeous town in Idaho!  I was honestly blown away by how beautiful the mountains were, the river running through it, and the incredible wildlife.  I already want to go back!

IMG_9497

We had no idea when we decided to go last minute, that there was a winterfest going on that weekend.  We ended up missing most of it, except for chicken poop (ahem…they used a different word here) bingo.  Yes, you read that right.  They set out a bingo board and let chicken loose to choose the squares in the most bizarre way possible.  Haha…like what?!?! Anyway, back to this beautiful view 🙂

IMG_9442

The hotel we stayed in had a private hot springs that has a view of the incredible Sawtooth Mountains.  All the heart eyes.  We had to walk across a snowy field to get to the hot springs. Ha thankfully my hoodie from Rad Swim is so thick and warm! I thought I was going to freeze to death!

Speaking of Rad Swimthis suit is my favorite one piece I have ever owned! I always have a problem with them being long enough and this is the first one that I don’t feel like I have to battle the whole time I wear it.  We even got a little crazy and did some yoga haha!

IMG_9556IMG_9541

The hot springs were inside this cute little building!

This suit though…the fringe, details, and open back are too cute to pass up.  I honestly love it!

IMG_9564IMG_9579IMG_9585IMG_9593

Such an incredible weekend! Thank you to Rad Swim for the suit and thank you to my husband for being the man of my dreams!  Have a wonderful week XO

Comfy Maxi Dress from PinkBlush Boutique

Comfy long black maxi dress from Pink Blush Boutique! Paired with a brown leather jacket, perfect for Fall. Women's Fall Fashion and Style!

I love wearing fancy dresses from time to time, but some days I just need a more practical option! Chasing my girls around the park and running errands call for a comfy maxi dress! IMG_9352

This dress from PinkBlush is great because it has short sleeves for the afternoon and can be paired with a light jacket in the morning or evening when it gets a little chilly.  The dress is so lightweight, and like I’ve said before, comfortable! IMG_9325

I love that wearing a dress like this can effortlessly make you feel so put together! ShopPinkBlush has so many cute dresses for women, including this comfy maxi dress in multiple colors.  IMG_9338
