90's child.

Another mother just informed me today that this week is the last week of gymnastics for the girls. Since I am always on top of my game; this came as no surprise...NOT! What? The last week of camp? That means summer is coming to a close which is just utterly depressing!

So guess what? I'm gonna rock this off the shoulder crap real hard until leaves start falling. As they say...deal with it!

Being the 90's child that I was, I was so bummed when these bad ass shorts didn't arrive in time for the Guns n' Roses concert we went to. How perfect would they have been? Sartorial dammit. And yes, I feel like cussing a whole lot today!

I'm not even in a bad mood. Maybe just a little antsy now that I'm realizing the summer is drawing to an end? I still have so much to do. I'm sure you do, too. This means less working in the evenings and more play!

Perhaps a bit more sunburn, too. Just kidding! I didn't say that. Okay, I did but mom forgot her sunblock last week. Oops. Not the girls; just mine. 

So let's get back to that bucket list. What's on yours? This is what I have left to do this summer:

  • Sell, sell, sell at my garage sale this weekend
  • Take the kids to a water park
  • Take the fam to town carnival
  • Plan a fall trip
  • Plan Lola's 4th birthday
  • Strawberry picking
  • More pool time
  • Host a sleepover with all their besties before school starts (I might regret this)
  • Take some yoga classes
  • Plan some spontaneous happy hours with friends
  • Hit the Randolph Street Market
  • Explore Maggie Daly Park and meet dad for dinner in the city
  • ...and much more off the shoulder goodness!

Hi! Long time no write. I was in a bit of a writing funk while simultaneously managing a heavy workload and well…you know the rest of the story! And while this is clearly not 60 days worth of outfits, I can tell you that these looks ranked the most popular in both affiliate sales and feedback. It only made sense to share!

Boot season is just revving up which means it’s time for you to start thinking about styling options within your very own closet. I shared 25 of my favorite pairs last month but today we are going to talk about the versatility of the infamous lug boot. This does not mean that you should donate your favorite combat boots, Chelsea boots, ankle boots or knee boots. Keep those!

Feel like a million bucks with these basics.

Okay friends, we know Fall is peeking around the corner and while I think it’s safe to say that none of us are ready to discontinue pool days…the reality is that we have no choice! I am officially embracing a new season. And it’s likely due to my kids starting school this week.

You have officially entered Gemini season. We’re a passionate group of individuals and it just so happens that one of my nearest and dearest friends was born the day before me. <I’m the older sister but I digress> And if there is one thing that Geminis embrace, it is change. We get bored very quickly which is a testament to the amazing men we married because they keep us loved and entertained beyond measure!

Spring is a time for new beginnings. And there are so many in comparison to last year’s Spring. While much of the world continues to be on the mend from such a tumultuous year, I continue to feel optimistic that better times are ahead. Don’t forget to support your local, small businesses so that we can make up for lost times!

A year later…happier dresses, happier times. We’re seeing more vaccinations, less mask mandates, more in-person get-togethers and overall, a heck of a lot more joy. This Spring is so very different then Spring 2020 and I am grateful for that.

Phew! We are back! It was all things wonderful and after many DMs, I am sharing the looks my family begrudgingly captured. Cue the grunts and groans!

Happy Shopping! xo

The print I will never tire of... houndstooth.
The print I will never tire of... houndstooth.

…and just to prove how extra I can be, I paired this ensemble with a houndstooth tote. A bit much? Perhaps. My coat is on super sale so grab it now! I’ve been wanting one for years and this oversized version fit the bill. It’s all about the details. The ruched sleeves, the oversized lapel and the large-scale pattern. I will never tire of houndstooth. This is a print for all generations.
