Hi there! I hope y’all had a wonderful weekend! Mine was full of house cleaning (me on the inside and hubby working on cutting the grass and mulching the yard), projects, and preparing for James’ first birthday party. My precious baby is turning one year old this weekend!!!! I can’t believe it- but I think I’m ready to celebrate! I’m so thankful that Pretty Smitten and A Blissful Nest have blessed us with some party decor! Here’s a little preview:) Off to order some goodies!!!
I know, I know . . . it’s too early for Halloween, but it’s never too early to see adorable babies! Seriously, they are the cutest in their little costumes! …
First, I just have to say that you guys rock! All of the positive comments on Jimmy’s Holiday Gift Guide (For Him) post yesterday had him beaming all.day.long! He was…
How’s your week going friends? I’m just over here counting down the days ’til the 2017 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale like a kid at Christmas! It’s so close, opening this Thursday for cardholders. ??I got a friendly letter in the mail letting me know they upped my limit just in time for the sale- #thankyouverymuch! We’ll keep this little detail to ourselves and not bother the hubby with that tidbit of info! 😉 Are you excited?!?! Of course, I’ll be sharing my picks on Thursday and then a big ‘ole dressing room round up on Friday with fit tips and recommendations. Let me know what you have questions about and I’ll do my best investigative journalism for ya!
This swingy striped! cold shoulder dress is perfect for daytime or evenings out. Love the simplicity of it and the drapey fabric. Such a steal at right under $50! For a daytime look, you could wear it with the #10 sandals (they have lots of colors) & for evening, these black open toe heeled sandals would be great.
Show off your summer mani with this gorgeous, chic statement ring! I like to wear it on my first or middle finger on my right hand with a bold bracelet.
I’m sure you’ve heard me rave about this maxi dress before. Every time I wear it, I get tons of compliments and it’s really flattering and comfortable. It’s on sale under $40! I wear XS.
High waist leggings will be your BFF, I swear! They keep you all nice and tucked in and make you feel great while working out. Zella quality is always superb, and this pair comes in three colors with criss-cross detail at the calf. They run TTS, I wear size XS.
Although I normally wear a tank to workout, this Zella tee is my go-to when I want a t-shirt. The seams in the shirt are perfectly placed to help the illusion of a smaller waist and I like the cut of the sleeves that don’t irritate me when I’m working out.
My go-to tank, $11!!! I think I need to stock up on the other colors. It’s perfect for wearing alone or layering under cardigans or other tops. It fits TTS, XS here.
I have the older version of these sandals and they are really good! They come in tons of colors and the “beige leather” has a snakeskin pattern that goes with everything. Sam Edelman makes quality shoes that last, so I highly recommend them!
Is your week going well? I had to take a breather earlier this week since Sunday we hosted my sis-n-law’s baby shower here and those parties are so fun, but…
Hi friends! ‘Tis the season for holiday parties – work ones too! I’m popping in quickly today to share a holiday outfit that would be great for your holiday work…
I recently decided to stop with the acrylic nails and have gone back to au natural. Since I had James nearly two years ago, I’ve been wearing fake nails. At…
