Belmont Stakes Fashion

June 7, 2014

The question on everyone’s mind today? Will California Chrome win the Belmont Stakes this evening and therefore the triple crown for the first time since 1978? This is big, folks! Only 11 horses have won the triple crown, making this…kind of a big deal. Do you think California Chrome will do it?

My favorite thing about watching these horse races are seeing all of the beautiful dresses and fun derby hats! I can’t wait to see what the attendants will wear.

Festival Fashion + #SliceFest2014

June 6, 2014

I am beyond excited to go to the 3rd annual Slice Fest in Birmingham, Alabama! Are any of my Alabama ladies planning on being there? I’m a sucker for food and music festivals. I mean, what’s better than pizza and great live music? After a crazy work week, I’m definitely looking forward to letting my hair loose and having fun with family and friends!

Of course, I’ve been trying to figure out what to wear – because I’m a girl. After too much time spent on Pinterest, I think I’ve finally figured it out. Here is my take on Festival Fashion:

Brown Booties: DSW here
Black Booties: Charlotte Russe here
Headband: Charming Charlie here
Sunglasses Target: here
Tanks: H&M
Jean Shorts: American Eagle
Jewelry: Charming Charlie
Blue Cross Body: DSW here

Be on the lookout for my post on #SliceFest2014 on Alabamawomenbloggers.com later next week!

Are you attending any music festivals this summer? Will you be at Slice Fest?

Comfy in Keds

June 4, 2014

Folks, we have entered the big leagues. Hampton has started scooting everywhere. He can get to another room in a heartbeat, now. In the past week since he started this new trick, he has broken two household items, chewed up my computer cord (no, this isn’t our dog, it’s our child) and has attempted to stick his fingers in the outlet. No worries, we have covered the outlets. Needless to say, he is wide open and nothing is safe.

I’ve been spending most of my time chasing him around the house and so this has basically been my attire, when I actually change out of my yoga pants. I’m obsessed with Keds, so I’m pretty happy they have made a comeback. How about this purse that I scored while shoe shopping at DSW the other day? I’m in love. It’s big enough to fit all of my stuff and even throw Hampton’s things in there if I don’t feel like dragging the diaper bag around – which I usually don’t. I’m always on the look out for cute totes, so this was a great score for me.

Lace Maxi Skirt

May 28, 2014

Sisters are the best. Especially my sister. She is almost 7 years younger than me, but we have always been so close. When she moved away to college, it was tough because I went from seeing her about every other day to maybe once or twice a month. She is only 45 minutes down the road, but it just isn’t like it used to be. Perks of growing up, I guess.

Over the weekend I was able to spend a lot of time with her. We laughed a lot, played dominoes, laid by the pool, did a lot of talking and she modeled for me! She bought this outfit on our shopping trip and so obviously I had to take pictures of her in it. She is beautiful and has a unique style. She is the type of girl who doesn’t care what anyone things about her. She will wear, say, do whatever she thinks is right for her. I so admire that quality and am trying to be more like that myself. If she wants to wear a hat, she will. No matter how people look at her or what people say about it.

I had a lot of fun photographing Alex. She has a smile that is contagious. Not to mention that maxi! I’m in love!

Maxi and hat can be found here.

I hope you’re all having a lovely Memorial Day laying by the pool, at the beach or enjoying a BBQ with friends and family. I love holidays and I enjoy dressing for them. I love America and I enjoy dressing patriotically for days that we celebrate our wonderful country.

Casual Weekends

May 21, 2014

Happy hump day, friends! I’m chillin’ out in Orlando with Ryan. I tagged along so that I could get away for a couple of days while he attends conferences. My mom is keeping Hampton for the first time for a couple of nights and I am missing him so much. It’s nice to have a break and rest, but not having my little munchkin around is tough. I have been able to lay by the pool, catch up on my favorite blogs and read. A lot. It has been so awesome.

Since I’ve been away, this has basically been my wardrobe. Lately, I’ve found this to be my go-to weekend look as well. Simple with a little pop of color. I know I know…already dreaming of the weekend. I can’t help it. I am obsessing over these accessories from Charming Charlie.

Aztec Summer + Stitch Fix

May 13, 2014

I am obsessed with aztec print. I loved it for fall and winter, and guess what? Apparently it’s in for spring and summer this year! I learned about stitch fix through several other bloggers and my eyes got really wide and I signed up immediately. The waiting list was long at the time and so I just got my first fix in the mail a few days ago. I kept this tank top but returned the other items.

Tank top: Stitch Fix: Daniel Rainn // Shorts: Target // Sandals: Old: Similar

So what did I think?

Pros:
I was very impressed with my first stitch fix box. The clothes fit me perfectly and they were exactly my style. I couldn’t have been happier with the choices they picked for me.

Cons:
The prices. I wasn’t expecting everything to be so expensive. If I bought all of the items, I could pay $219.00 but if I bought them individually or just two, etc. it was much more expensive. All of the items added individually were $318.00…so that’s how they get you. I didn’t want all of the items in my fix, so it was a bit of an expense to purchase the tank by itself, but I didn’t want my $20 processing fee to be wasted, so I paid the difference anyway.

I was pretty disappointed in the prices and probably won’t be doing it again. Although I loved the clothes, I just don’t want to spend that much money on a box of clothing every month. Maybe I’m cheap? I don’t know. I just don’t like spending much on my clothes. I mean, after all I am a girl and the styles change so much every year. I don’t want to invest a ton of money in something I may only wear one season.

Have you tried Stitch Fix? What are your thoughts? How much do you spend on clothing each month?

May Flowers and Happenings

May 5, 2014

Post may contain affiliate links.

The past few days have been so crazy around here. Set aside working while taking care of your six month old, but when your home internet goes out for four days (and counting), and Starbucks quickly becomes your office space/day care (sorry, SB) things can get pretty interesting real fast. Needless to say, things have been pretty stressful because our whole routine has been flipped upside down.

Good news? It is May! Can you believe it? May is full of graduations, celebrations, weddings, showers, parties, etc. all of which we are attending this month. It is always a fun and busy month for us. I can’t wait to celebrate my brother and nephew’s birthdays in a week and attend a wedding this weekend. So much fun to be had. We will be welcoming the summer before you know it, however, if you live down south like me, you’re probably already experiencing it and are laying by the pool as we speak (I wish).

Adding a little color to your wardrobe is a must this time of year. No more dreary winter colors. Headbands are also a huge addition to this year’s wardrobe. I’m loving this flower headband from The Colt and Filly! Kacie makes the most adorable headbands and earring for you and your LO! The anchor earrings are a perfect addition to any summer outfit. My sister is already trying to steal them from me.

Be sure to check out The Colt and Filly on Twitter and Instagram for updates on their merchandise.
