We're prepping for a family vaca and I've been dying to break out this dress. Lunches alfresco, long naps, beach mornings and bike rides are what I'm looking forward to. It'll be the first time we take the girls on a plane since they were babies. Crazy right?
By the way, have any of you been to Hilton Head? We're first-timers. If you have must-see's or suggestions...I'd love to hear them!
Read MoreIf there's one purchase I made in 2014 that was a guaranteed hit, it was my lemon yellow coat. I can't tell you how many compliments I get on it. Seen here and here. I remember shopping for it @ Zara and being on the fence about it until my girlfriend insisted that I snag it. She was right.
Happy birthday to me.
Read MoreIf you've been following me on Instagram, you're probably aware that I've fallen pretty hard for the above necklace - it's called She Sells Seashells. I simply adore it. I love the pale pink shells with the rhinestone accents and gold links. It's so feminine. I am finding ways to weave it into every outfit, quite literally.
Read MoreSometimes the basics are the best answer. Sometimes one piece can change you're whole outfit. Such was the case with this necklace. And if you're in the mood to do a little accessory shopping this morning...may I recommend CherryPick?
Mother's Day is around the corner you know?
Read MoreSpring is arguably one of the best seasons to get out + about in Chicago. Everyone is in a cheerful mood and the patios begin to open. It's hard not to fall back in love with the Midwest after a long winter. Each year my husband and I reignite our love affair with Chicago and date nights in general. Such was the case for last Friday.
After a particular grueling day on the job, I shed my denim for something flirty and met my husband at Del Frisco's Chicago. Hopping out of the cab, I raced up the grandiose escalator to meet him for a quick glass of bubbles and a catch-up of the day before we sat down to a buzzing dining room of foodies and steak aficionados. (we were in good company!)
Read MoreThe start of many awesome weekends for the books. Sun makes all the difference, you know?
We kicked off the weekend with a date night that extended over to Saturday morning -- thank you grandparents! From there it was errand running, homemade pizzas, wine, friends and naps. Yesterday I shot a fun little feature at home...more on that later, though.
Read MoreHappy Saturday! Today's a special posting day and the reason is simple: I was too busy enjoying life yesterday. I've decided that's okay once in awhile.
With that said, this post is really for my husband. You see, three days ago he asked me what I wanted for my birthday...a very loaded question. (both Olivia and I have birthdays in May and we've got Mother's Day - I quite like this month very much!) Every style blogger has a mile-long wish list. It comes with the job. And we all know I aim to please, right?
Read MoreThey say that motherhood is about finding a balance. My view on motherhood is that of wind sprints. One minute your running at high paced speeds to make it all work. The next minute you get 60 seconds of rest before the next sprint kicks in.
Once you give in and let go, the sprints become part of your routine and it isn't so jarring. And the older your children get...the longer the rest periods, I find.
That being said, I need a workhorse bag to keep all our snacks, extra pairs of underwear + leggings, chapstick, wallet, hand sanitizer and the like straight. Oh! And don't forget the Elsa doll and her three pairs of tiny, miniature shoes. Yeah, those are awesome.
Read MoreDo you see that? No snow!
It may be chilly but the sun is shining and I'm in full bridal shower mode which means feminine outfits for brunch, mimosas and the like. Not a bad way to spend your Saturday. I felt like this particular weekend called for peplum which is an interesting story in and of itself.
