Snowy Getaway with Arvo

IMG_9273

I am so grateful the snow has finally melted and the weather is warming up!  I’m definitely a summer girl.  However, this past weekend we decided to take our girls up to stay in a cabin and enjoy the mounds of snow still found in the mountains. It was so nice!  We had no cell service, or internet connection, so we were truly unplugged.  It felt wonderful to reconnect as a family!  We went sledding for hours, cuddled, and sipped hot cocoa.  Not many things beat that.

While we were up there I was so grateful to have my Arvo watch, especially since I didn’t have my phone to find out what time it was.  I haven’t worn a watch in years because I am usually so picky about them! I miss wearing one, so I’m happy I have found one I love.  The sleek, minimalistic style is what drew me to this watch.  It goes with just about everything and is comfortable too! Not only that, but the company itself is also incredible.

This scarf is the same one from this post.  I’m totally loving it right now!  Hope you had a wonderful Valentines and Presidents’ Day! Enjoy your week! XO

Stripes and a Scarf

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!

Striped shirt, color splash scarf, jeans, and ankle booties! Women's Fall Fashion!

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!

Have an amazing Valentine’s weekend! XO

Holiday Shopping with Penny+Boss

_W6A2511Confession 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! _W6A2581_W6A2803

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 _W6A2714_W6A2722I 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)

_W6A2571

_W6A2667Long story short, we had way too much fun…but then again, there’s no such thing! Happy shopping 🙂

Perfect Plaid

 

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! 🙂

Holding on to Summer in Mommy Daughter Dresses

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!

Mommy and Me: Babies and Bloomers

DSC_9696

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!

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!

Comfy and Chic (but mostly comfy)

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!
