Basics for Date Night

I kept things pretty casual for date night with my husband last night. Basic pieces that I’m guessing most of you could pull out of your closet as well. Sometimes I feel like I need that perfect top or adorable dress to wear, but when it comes down to it, I’m just as happy wearing […]

Dressing Room Diaries: Nordstrom

For those of you that follow along on my Insta-stories, you saw that we made a pit-stop during our ride home from the beach. It was a rather impromptu stop that was a result of my youngest dirtying her diaper when we were about 20 miles out from passing the mall. My mind quickly raced […]

Cotton Tie Tee

Excuse me while I pout for a moment as I no longer have an ocean as a backdrop! I can’t complain though, we had a beautiful week at the shore and I’m thankful to have had the momentary pause from the norm to stop and enjoy time with our family. We now have a week […]

Oceans of Blue

It’s going to be hard to leave this backdrop behind tomorrow! We’ve had a fantastic vacation week to end our summer, but I’m just not ready to go back to pumpkin-everything filled shelves! I found this chambray top the other day at a little boutique here in downtown Stone Harbor, NJ. I’m guessing that most […]

Beach Bum

Hey guys! I hope you’re all having a great week so far! Our vacation has started off wonderfully, just in case you haven’t seen any part of it from Instagram ;) The kids are having a blast and we got to hang with our latest addition to the family, my 4 month old niece, Zoey! […]

Must-Have Tank

This week may have started off slow for us but I honestly don’t know how Friday got here this quickly! I’m not complaining, especially since our family is heading to the beach tomorrow (yay!), but goodness I have a lot to accomplish today! Thankfully my reinforcement (a.k.a. my mom) is here to help with the […]

Dressing Room Diaries: LOFT

I swung into LOFT yesterday with my 5 year old in tow because we are nearly napless these days. I suppose that’s a good thing however, with full day kindergarten starting in a few weeks! She was more than happy to tag along and I know I’ll be missing our days together when I can’t […]

Blue Utility

Hey guys! Want to know some good news? The Nordstrom Sale is finally over, so life may now return to normal in your social media world! I do hope you all snagged a few goodies, but all good things must come to an end and I have a feeling most of us were ready for […]

Light Layers

We’ve still got a little ways before fall arrives, but some of my fall(ish) pieces have been tempting me! Especially my new goodies from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale (that ends Sunday!) I’ve found myself slipping into jeans and closed toe shoes more than a few times! These are the boyfriend jeans that I showed you […]

Nordstrom Sale: What You (Still) Need

I don’t know about you guys, but my husband and I work with a monthly budget, and that budget happened to reset this week! I know the Nordstrom Sale has just about been beaten to death in the influencer world, but for those of you still on the fence about something or those wanting to […]
