I can’t believe how fast this week is going by. Is it just me, or is it going by quickly for you, too? I’m not sure if it’s all the sunshine we’ve had, or the fact that we have been running around like crazy people all week. I must say that while we have had a busy week, we have also made time to play outside quite a bit. I think we have been so excited to see the sun shining and feel the warmth outside. Especially after all of the storms last week. I recently received this maxi dress from Pink Blush (one of my favorite shops) and I thought it would be fun to style it two different ways. I love maxi dresses because they seriously look good on everyone. I can’t think of one body type they don’t work for. They are also really easy to dress up or down and during the summer, they are cool and comfy.This dress has pockets and a slit that goes just below the knee so it is easy to tie in a knot which is a trend I am loving right now!
Shopbop Sale Picks
One of my favorite stores is having a huge sale that opened today to the public! Shopbop’s event of the season sale is a great excuse to snatch up some of those designer pieces you’ve had your eye on for spring and summer! I have a running wish list on their site that keeps growing and growing because they have so many adorable things. I thought it would be fun to share what is on my wish list. Some are realistic and some…not so much. It’s all in good fun, though, right? So, let’s get to the Shopbop sale…
Easter Dresses: Over Fifty Picks for Easter Sunday
Easter is next weekend. It really snuck up on me this year. I have not hardly bought anything for the kid’s Easter baskets, so I really need to jump on that like, today. I did purchase mine and Sophie’s Easter Dresses and the boy’s outfits, so that much is done. Easter is one of my favorite holidays because of it’s religious aspects, but also because we get together with family and friends and enjoy each other’s company and good food. I also love holidays with the kids because they get so excited over every little thing. Life really is better when you look through your children’s eyes.
Friday Favorites: Spring Break Edition
Happy Friday! We are still battling a stomach virus in our house, but I hope you are having a great start to the weekend and for most people – spring break! I remember as a kid that spring break was such a big deal! I always needed a break this time of year and looked so forward to it. I am so excited that Hamp will be out of school all week! We are planning to go to Florida, although because of this virus, our trip may be postponed a couple of days. So, let’s get on to Friday Favorites, shall we?
Spring Break Essentials
We leave on our spring break trip in less than a week and we are excited to get away for a few days! I am so looking forward to that Florida sunshine and warm weather! It is going to be cold here again this week, so I am praying we don’t get sick again after having a really warm week last week. Love this Alabama weather, let me tell you! The beach is calling my name!
So, I have had a little fun picking out these adorable spring break essentials for mama and her mini! One thing I love about having a little girl is dressing her and even matching her sometimes when the mood strikes! It’s so fun! I have more fun shopping for her tan I do for myself and I have been obsessing over all the toddler things they make to match mommy now! Here are a few of my favorites:
Shopbop Sale Picks and What I Bought
I took this photo a couple of weeks ago not even thinking about the big Shopbop sale, but I’m glad I did because this tunic is a favorite of mine and it is on sale today! I love this sale because I can pick up amazing pieces from brands I couldn’t afford to buy otherwise. I have already been shopping this morning and can’t wait to show you what I bought and some other favorites! You guys know how much I love to shop a good sale. Right now, everything is on sale. You get 15% off when you spend $200+, 20% off $500+ and 25% off $800+! These brands don’t go on sale very often so when they do, I like to shop for things that have been on my wish list!

It has been raining here and is all muddy and gross outside, so I mayyy have taken the time to do a little online shopping because, why not?

Valentine’s Day Gift Guide
Who doesn’t love Valentine’s day? Any day I get to celebrate my love is a good day in my book! Plus, there is normally a date night which is rare for us these days and a box of chocolates of flowers included which is double awesome! Really, though I have always loved Valentin’s day because my mom always made it special for us growing up and I remember always having a brown paper bag in my classroom growing up and we would all bring special Valentine’s to all of our friends at school. It was so fun and I always loved reading them and even saved them for a long time until I was a borderline V-day hoarder.
I love putting together gift guides because it gives me a good excuse to do a little online shopping and perusing! I have put together some of my favorite gifts for Valentine’s day. Personally, we normally keep it simple, but if you are more of a diamond girl/guy shopping for your girl, then go for it! Otherwise, this list is for you!
Spring Must Haves with thredUP
If you guys follow me on Snapchat, you probably saw the snap of my thredUP box that came in the mail a couple of days ago! I have been shopping at thredUP now for a couple of years and they never disappoint. This wee was no exception! I scored a Lilly Pulitzer skort for under $22! I also snagged a Coach wristlet for $30! I absolutely love the amazing deals that they offer on my favorite brands that I can rarely afford to purchase at full price. My mission was simple: to find staple pieces to add to my spring wardrobe to complete my look for the season. I definitely feel like I did just that!
Spring Showers and New Dresses
We were supposed to have our family photos done yesterday afternoon, but the weather was pretty ugly, so we rescheduled due to the lovely rain. In happier news, we played outside most of the day earlier this week and it was beautiful. It was cool and cloudy so it felt amazing. My little buddy and I went for a jog and spent the rest of our day playing with chalk, running through mud puddles and playing dress up (See Exhibit A on Snapchat: LoganCan). I also spent part of the day in my new favorite dress! Only part of the day because a lot of it was spent in nike shorts and a tee-shirt. Let’s be real. I love shopping for new dresses during the springtime that will get me through the hot summer days.
