Pardon my absence…

 (photo credit)  I was trying to be Super Woman and have all of my posts lined up for this week while I am out of town, but alas it did not happen. I may or may not be able to get my act together for the rest of the week, you’ll just have to check […]

To Birk or Not?

Birkenstocks are back in full force and I can’t get over the array of colors and styles that are now available. They are certainly not limited to the boring shades of brown I sported in high school, that’s for sure. I’ve been watching them grow again in popularity, but I continue to put them in […]

Navy + Pink

I’m sure I’ve mentioned before the love I have for the pairing of navy and pink. They just seem to compliment each other in such a beautiful way! Navy always seems to keep an outfit feeling classy, regardless of what color it’s paired with. This top has been a staple in my closet for a […]

Mint + Chambray

You guys know about my love of pastels and chambray, that’s likely a given by now, so you can understand my excitement about these pale mint shorts! With the slightest bit of tapered detail and a structured shirt that feels a bit more put together than a t-shirt, this outfit can carry you right through […]

Pressed Italian Sandwiches

When you’re hosting a party or a picnic this summer, it can be tempting to just order a tray of sandwiches for your guests and be done with it (well, that part of it). That’s what I always did, until I came across this recipe, that is. I always feel like Joey from Friends when […]

Loving Lately: Crochet

When I hear the word crochet it immediately makes me think of grandma. Not my grandma, per say, but just grandmas in general. I’m going to have to let go of this misconception because that’s certainly not the case these days. I’ve found myself gravitating towards crochet detail on everything from shoes to dresses, bags and swimwear. […]

Bandana

Outside of hats, it’s not typical for me to wear any accessories on my head. Head bands often give me a headache and short hair doesn’t give as many options as long hair does when it comes to varying styles (ie ponytails, up-do’s, loose knots etc). I wasn’t on the hunt for a bandana, but […]

High Five for Friday

Happy Friday, all! The celebrations continued in our household this week. My son turned 5 years old on Wednesday and today is his last day of preschool. I’m being hit with too many emotions to handle! 5 used to seem like such a scary age to handle, but here we are, diving right in. Next […]

Thanks to the Bloggers

Blogs are one of my main sources of inspiration. This serves in all areas from fashion, to food, decorating and more. The reason I love fashion blogs is because I can see what clothes look like on real people in their own environments. They’re also great because I gravitate towards bloggers that share my same […]
