Doily. <+ a giveaway>

I've had this lace dress for three months now. Just dying to break it out. Isn't that the worst? I mean great that we had a true summer with hot temps and cut off shorts but it's always so hard to hang onto a purchase. Well, it is for me at least...and I know you fashionistas reading this can relate on some level. #fallcravings

Starry night.

First off, thank you for all the kind comments and encouraging words in yesterday's post. You really made my day during a rough patch. It was also a reminder of why I keep doing it and that I obviously arrived at this point in my career for a reason. Easy to lose sight of the big picture sometimes.

Failure or more patience...my internal battle.

I feel like a complete failure. Also, it's safe to say this is not another fashion post. If you're not up for a healthy dose of cerebral this Tuesday morning...stop right here. <you've been warned>

Truth is, start ups are not easy. Unlike motherhood or marriage, I generally don't find a warm hug waiting for me at the end of every rejection email. Anyone who says becoming an entrepreneur is glamorous is very mistaken. While the rewards are oh-so-sweet, the dry spells feel like deserts.

Monday's are so hard for me. I really get the blues. Instead of mourning the start of a new work week, I've decided to embrace Monday's by reaching for Fall statement + comfort pieces. Cozy makes life more doable. And as my husband's busy season kicks off, easy sounds good as he often gets home pretty late in the evening. Not his preference or ours but it makes me admire single parents all the more. Being a working parent is not easy but you do it for your kids...for a better life.

Wednesday loves.

Hi. Sidenote: we are eating ALL the honeycrisp apples we can get our hands on. My favorite in-season fruit and luckily, my kids share my interests!

So...flowy and feminine. Soft suede and fringe. Denim and leather. Do I have your attention? Rounding up six yummy staples for your viewing pleasure today and guess what? That little red mini bag comes in LEOPARD, too! Gahhh...I know! Have fun ladies!

End of the Summer Spin.

September is here! Break out the pumpkins and the hoodies and the lattes. Fall always evokes a sense of excitement at our house. We are all REALLY big fans of brisk mornings, football and blankets. As cliche as it sounds, it's true and I am not ashamed to admit it. Having children has only exacerbated our love for Fall!

This breezy, top...just one more spin with summer though while the temps hold up. It is 90 degrees today, after all.
