This top is stylish, comfy and unique all on it’s own
(Runs true to size)
This might be my favorite wind mustache thus far
On a different note I just wanted to share one of things that has helped me in moments of self doubt. No matter how secure or confident one may “seem”…everyone has insecurities. I had times of self doubt growing up…trying to fit in and worrying too much what other people think (more on that topic another date). But one thing I’ve learned that helps, is to get out of your own head and think more about helping others…even if it’s the smallest difference you can make in their day. It can be as simple as buying coffee for the next person in line… putting a cute note in your kids lunches…to sending your spouse an out of the blue “i’m thinking of you” text….or dropping off chicken noodle soup to a sick friend.

When you’re able to make someone else feel good… you feel good….and that builds confidence!
Did some buzzed shopping after a couple wine tastings at Westfield UTC’s “Uncorked” event last weekend.
We had some rain showers that morning but then the skies cleared and the weather turned out to be gorgeous! The event was so well done, from the music, drinks, food and all the pretty decor! Wish I had a pic of the centerpieces…they were stunning!
This sweater is perfect for summer….soft and I love the fringe accents! I would size up one size if you want the length to be a little longer. I noticed the length on my true size was too short. So I sized up to get more length. This top is not a slim fit shirt…more on the boxy side…but I love that look when paired with skinny jeans. I could also see this top as a great throw on piece over a maxi dress. You can shop this top here or below…
It feels like yesterday we had a changing table, baby wipes and diapers on my daughters dresser. I totally understand that saying “time flys” now. Sometimes it actually freaks me out. Do you ever feel that way? It’s also a good reminder for us to live in the moment and be present. Easier said then done…but so great to have the awareness of being present.

Then….
Now….
Love the fabric options from MINTED. So many pretty options!
Also love how their website is so user friendly.
They have visuals of each fabric type “to scale” on different sized pillows!
Makes shopping so much easier!! (see examples below)
When decorating…especially kids rooms I always have to think about safety. With that said always make sure any shelves hanging have anchors with the screws. Make sure any leaning frames, letters or accessories are actually fastened to the wall. (You can still get that leaning look). And my favorite trick is Earthquake Putty! I add it to any standing accessories or behind any wall frame for extra safety. You can find them at your local Home Depot…or here.
Thank you so much for visiting my blog!
I hope this posts helps you with ideas for some future decorating??
I’m obsessed with this white strapless, eyelet romper!!
You can dress it up with heels, statement necklace and a suede jacket, or…
dress it down with flat sandals or even flip-flops and a cute hat. ( like this one )
Wind mustaches are the new trend
I’ve gotten so many compliments on this suede jacket…and was so bummed at how fast it sold out!
They recently re-stocked it in this pretty color (see here)!
This statement necklace is the perfect accessory if you’re wanting to dress up this romper
I also love how it adds a little boho to the vibe
Strapless bras suck.
But since the top part of this romper is fitted I felt super secure and comfortable…
…yay for boob comfort!
Because the necklace is such a statement piece I opted out of wearing any other jewelry besides my wedding band
When in doubt?? “Less is more”
fyi: This romper was completely sold out…but they restocked it and some sizes are on backorder.
If you’re on the fence I would say atleast give it a shot… From baby showers, bridal showers, lunch out with friends to a night out on the town. With changing your shoes, accessories, jewelry and jackets…you’ll get lots of mileage on this piece!!
You can shop this post below…also linked some other options you can wear with this romper!

When investing in a new handbag it’s important to ask yourself
A. Is the size practical for my lifestyle? 3 years ago I would not have been able to carry a small cross body like this. Hello diaper bag! And now carrying a huge heavy tote bag is not practical since we’re almost out of the stroller phase to hang it on.
B. Is the functionally user friendly? Can you grab your cell phone easily? Is there a pocket for your credit cards? This bag has a cool zip top feature that allows you to unbutton and unzip the zipper all the way for easy access.
C. Color!! Is this a color that will work with more than 60% of your wardrobe? I’m drawn to neutrals and when investing in a handbag I usually skip the unique pop of color for a more user friendly shade.
This handbag has foldable handles so you can grab it like this…
…or fold them down while wearing it cross body.
Wind we meet again
Even though this cross body bag is on the smaller size…it will fit more than you think.
Cell phone (iPhone 6plus), keys, credit cards, compact, lipgloss, antibacterial gel and even a pack of gum!
I also love packing this bag for travel.
Fits easily in the suitcase…and coordinates with every outfit I pack!
Love this nude dress. It has cute little white flower prints on it, a tie waist and no sleeves.
FYI: it’s on the shorter side.
I played down the girly-ness of the dress with a suede jacket. This exact jacket is currently sold out but I’m going to keep an eye out for a re-stock…fingers crossed!! I linked some very similar ones below. Shoes in the pic above can be purchased here or here.
p.s. website calls this color: Pink Bouquet??? but I would say it’s more of a beigey-peach.
I love to share a good sale…and this one is really good!
Anthropologie is giving an additional 40% off all SALE items this weekend! This Grey Motto Jacket is the perfect staple piece for this Spring/Summer. I would recommend wearing it with whites…dresses, white skinny jeans, shorts…etc.etc.
This Jacket is one of the items thats already on sale and now an additional 40% off!! Yay to that!
You can shop it here or below… Happy shopping and I hope you score some cute stuff on sale this weekend!!!
