Floral Cold Shoulder Dress

June 12, 2017

I can’t believe the weekend is already over. I feel like it just started an hour ago. The last couple days have been rough with Sofia not sleeping very well at night. She has a tooth coming in, and I have a feeling that’s the culprit of both our less than stellar nights.

Alright, let’s talk about this cute blue dress. I love the cold shoulder detail, and the ruffle hem. I love that it gives it a flirty feel that’s perfect for a date night. The straps are adjustable, and it runs small, so size up. I’m wearing a medium, and the adjustable straps are awesome!! All my girls with little shoulders will love this!! This momma lives for the date nights I get every blue mom. If you want to dress it up a little more add a nude summer heel, and a bold statement earring. Now, if you’re like me, and need dresses that can be super casual too. All you would need to do is add a flat sandal like Tory Burch sandals or Birkenstocks. Both are so cute!! Ohh and I forgot to mention this dress fits true to size, and is $30.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope y’all have a fabulous Monday!!

Freshly Picked Mocs + The Perfect Summer Top

June 8, 2017

Sofia’s Outfit:Top:Gap Kids sold out (similar style) | Bottoms:Gap Kids | Shoes:Freshly Picked Mocs c/o (Love these!! So soft!!) | Headband:Nordstrom (Love these!! They are a headband game changer!!)

Let me begin by apologizing for the Sofia picture over load. She just looked so dang cute I couldn’t resist sharing a few dozen photos of her. She looked so cute in her flutter sleeve pink eyelet top, and Freshly Picked Mocs. With Sofi turning 6 months it was time to add another precious pair of Freshly Picked Mocs to her collection. I love that they come with a little duster bag. It makes them perfect to store in the diaper bag, or as a keepsake for my sweet girl once she’s older. I decided the Freshly Picked Mary Janes were the perfect summer shoe for my girl. I love the adorable scallop detail, and the platinum color. The Blush Mary Janes are really cute too. If you want something a little less sparkly that’s a really pretty option.

With Sofia hitting the six month mark, I’ve caught myself thinking of all the firsts she’s done, and things she hasn’t quite mastered yet. At first, I was hard on myself thinking what was I doing wrong because she hasn’t reached all her 6 month bench mark goals. Then I took a step back, realized everyone moves at their own speed, and these aren’t her bench marks they are the ones that are being put on her. If she’s not sitting up perfectly that’s okay. There is nothing wrong with her reaching goals at her own speed. She is her own person, and she’s learning and growing at her own rate. She loves when I read to her. She stares at me so contently. She loves holding her feet, and sticking her toes in her mouth. This is really different from Pookie. He didn’t want anything to do with his feet, let alone sticking his toes in his mouth. She smiles a lot, and is great at following my lead on looking up, down, left, right. I’m so proud of her. Sofi loves her bouncer. At first, she didn’t have much interest in it, but then she learned how to jump. She loves this thing. She plays on it a few times a day. I love that it gives me time to give my son Pookie a little one on one time; while giving her some independence. We’re in full on teething mode, and Sophie the giraffe, and this blue elephant teether have been her favorites. She will nibble on them on when her gums are sore. I think the blue elephant really helps her because it’s small enough for her to use; while still being big enough to not be a choking hazard.

Okay let’s talk about this cute bright floral Romwe crop top. Ya’ll this top is so pretty in person, and I love the detail on the hem of the top. It makes the top feel like it could come from a cute high end boutique. I decided to go up a size because I wanted it to fit a little looser. I’m wearing a medium for sizing reference. I usually wear a small in tops. I paired this pretty crop top with my Target heels. These are one of my favorite pairs of heels I’ve bought in a long time. These are both really amazing finds for anyone that loves to find really cute pieces to add to their closet.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope ya’ll have a fabulous weekend!! Sorry, I wrote a book. If you have any other questions about the sizing of the Freshly Picked Mocs, or this pretty floral Romwe top I’m happy to answer any questions ya’ll have.

Father’s Day Gift Guide

June 6, 2017

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 /9 /10

Father’s Day is just a few short weeks away, and I’ve been wracking my brain about what to get my husband. He’s not the easiest guy to buy for, so I decided to enlist his help on this post. Yes, that means every gift on the Father’s Day gift guide is something he would like to recieve as well.

Including him also, really helped me narrow down the gift options for him too. A few gifts I thought he would love fell flat. I’m so glad I figured that out before sinking money into something he wouldn’t enjoy. The Father’s Day gifts, I’m sharing with ya’ll all have his seal of approval.

I didn’t want another cuff link gift experience. Let’s just say it wasn’t the best gift for a guy that doesn’t wear suits for his 9-5 everyday, and goes into the field to check on the progress of projects. They were really pretty, but not a gift he would have picked out. What I took from that was to really think of the person the gift is for. Sure it made me happy, but the purpose of the gift was to make him happy. So, I’ve been really working on making sure the gifts I give are something that person will love, or is easy to exchange. That’s why I shop at Nordstrom a lot. And no this is not sponsored by Nordstrom. I just love their customer service, and hassle free returns.
