Stylish Swimsuits that Cover

June 9, 2015

My name is Logan and I have a mom bod. There, I said it. I had a baby 4 weeks ago, right at the beginning of “swimsuit season.” Therefore, I will be rocking a postpartum body this summer. Honestly, that’s okay with me because I am pretty proud of what my body just did. It made my beautiful daughter and only a year and a half ago, it made my handsome prince. While I’m not very comfortable in a swimsuit, I have already decided that I will buy a couple of swimsuits that cover up rather than trying to wear a bikini. Let’s be real, that just isn’t going to happen this season.

I’ve spent some time perusing the internet and Instagram for the most stylish swimsuits that will cover me but not make me feel like a grandma. So, here are my favorites:

Seafarer Lilly Pulitzer
Floral Ralph Lauren

Ruffle Kenneth Cole

Cheers to covering up!

Poms and Pineapples

June 8, 2015

Tank: Old Navy // Shorts: Dandy Lion Boutique // Pineapple Necklace and Druzy Bangle: Lemon Sweet Jewelry

This weekend was one for the books! My grandparents drove up from Florida to meet SR for the first time, and let me just tell you, it was love at first sight. My grandmother would not put her down. It was pretty precious!

My sister also surprised us by coming home for the weekend and I was so excited to see her! We always have so much fun together.

I saw these adorable Pom pom shorts on Samantha’s blog and fell in love with them. So, obviously, I ordered me some. They are kind of perfect. I have always loved bright colors. I am really excited that neon is so popular this year. I feel like my wardrobe is actually in style! Give me all the neon.

This adorable pineapple necklace and druzy bangle are from Lemon Sweet Jewelry on Etsy! I am so in love with this shop and their jewelry! I am also loving this bee necklace and this gold feather necklace. Seriously some of the cutest jewelry I’ve seen in a while.

Something else amazing happened this weekend! Ryan and I were strolling through Target shopping for a birthday present when I saw stuffed in the back of a shelf a pair of Lilly Pulitzer pineapple sandals IN MY SIZE. Probably the last LP item left in our entire store. It was fate. I was so excited and of course bought them. I have been on cloud 9 ever since!

What did you do this weekend?

Boho Chic

May 27, 2015

Dress: c/o Molly and Me Company // Shoes: Old DSW

This weekend was so much fun! Not only did we get a 3 day weekend, but we also got to go on a much needed first date (since having SR), BBQ’d with friends on Sunday and then laid by the pool and grilled steaks on Monday with family! It was so relaxing and much needed.

I’m not going to lie, I have been counting down the days until summer. Summer to me means family time, vacations, pool days, beach weekends and fun with friends. We are already planning to go to the beach for the first time as a family since having kids, and I am really excited to do that! We also have a cruise planned for the end of the summer with my entire extended family, and I am beyond excited for that. My family is very close and I can’t wait to get with all of my cousins and cruise to the Bahamas!

Don’t you love finding great new dresses and stylish boutiques? I came across this adorable shop – Molly and Me Company – one day while perusing Instagram (of course) and fell in love with their stylish dresses. This boho dress is so adorable, comfortable and perfect for the Summer months. Because of it’s boho style, it’s also great for festivals.

Although we don’t currently have plans to attend any music festivals, I would love to go to a couple this summer. We loved going to Slicefest last year, and are hoping to attend a couple of new ones in our area.

Visit Molly and Me Company on Facebook and Instagram!

Do you have any fun Summer vacations planned this year?

September 12, 2014

I received products as compensation for this review and giveaway. Opinions are 100% my own.

baseball tee: c/o windsor here

keds: dsw

shorts: old navy

As a new mom, my wardrobe, most days, consists of yoga pants and T-shirts. As much as I love to get dressed up, it’s really hard to get motivated to dress nice knowing I will be working from home all day and chasing around a 10 month old. Let’s be real. I normally have spit up, pee and some kind of food on me by 9am. Because of this, it is with great honor and pleasure that I received this adorable baseball tee to wear. It is my anthem now days, after all.

I am a proud supporter of messy hair and sweat pants. Don’t believe me? Show up at my house when we aren’t expecting you. No further proof needed. 😉

I am in love with this top! It is so soft and comfortable! Perfect for every day. It’s so cute and can be styled a million different ways. It can be worn with jeans, yoga pants, sweat pants, black pants or shorts and the list goes on. It is so versatile and I mean, come on. Every mom needs one.

I love to add accessories to my wardrobe as well. I have only recently started accessorizing more. I have seen so many cute bags/purses/jewelry that it’s tough to resist it. Isn’t this clutch so adorable? Guess what? It is up for grabs! That’s right! Windsor is giving it away to one of my lucky readers! Just enter in the rafflecopter below:

Aztec Cardigan

August 27, 2014

cardigan: c/o oasap

booties: dsw

shorts: old navy

tank: ann taylor loft

I’m so excited for fall I can’t hardly stand it. Can you believe college football starts tomorrow!? It’s unreal. Booties are definitely my favorite accessory this season. I can’t wait to wear them more. This cardigan is perfect for any season. It can be paired with a tank during the summer months or a long sleeve shirt/sweater during the fall and winter months. I love the layered look and the texture that this card adds to this outfit.

On Monday, the PSL made it’s early appearance! If you haven’t heard, then you must have been away from blogland because my Bloglovin’ and IG feeds have been blowing. up. You couldn’t have missed it! I may have contributed on my Insta. Oops. In my opinion, they are geniuses for releasing it early. They just made bank, not to mention made a lot of ~~bloggers~~ people very happy. It was definitely the perfect start to the week considering football is starting up and the holiday weekend and all.

Have you grabbed a PSL yet? What is your favorite fall drink?

Floral Kimono

August 25, 2014

kimono: c/o oasap

sandals: target

shorts: old navy

purse: kate spade new york

Okay, so it’s no secret that I’ve been a little kimono crazy this summer, but come on! They are so awesome! They re loose, comfortable, and most importantly, pretty. I am loving this colorful floral kimono! I enjoyed wearing it with a pop of my favorite color – lime green – over the weekend. It’s always nice to add a little color to brighten up your wardrobe, no? Although this clearly has white, I can’t wait to wear it this fall to help add a little color to my traditional fall wardrobe.

First off, today is PSL day! Are how many of you are going to get one? I have a Starbucks date with a friend later today and Can. Not. Wait.

Saturday we enjoyed a little pool time, and it was HOT. I heard someone say 103? Not real sure if it was actually that hot, but it felt like it. In Alabama, it isn’t the heat so much as the humidity that gets you. Another reason I am really ready for fall. We went to my in-laws for a late birthday dinner Saturday night. My MIL cooked some great southern comfort food which was so delicious and good for the soul. It was so much fun spending time with them and getting Hampton and my nephew together. They always have fun playing and it is so precious watching them grow up together. My nephew is so good with him. They are going to be great buddies.

What did you do over the weekend? Have you picked up your first PSL of the season?

The Perfect White Shirt

August 13, 2014

white shirt: c/o oasap here
hat: versona
sandals: target
shorts: old navy via thred up

OASAP is turning into one of my favorite online fashion websites. I love their variety and more importantly, their low prices. All summer long I’ve been in search of the perfect white shirt. Guess what? I found it! I don’t like to wear super tight clothing. I like to be comfortable and chic at the same time, and this plain white shirt offers me all of the above. It is so comfortable, flowy and very light weight – perfect for those summer nights. I’m kind of sad that I didn’t find it earlier in the season, but what can you do? I’m glad I have it now and will have it for next year as well, although, I do wear white year round. I’m a rebel. It is a great staple piece.

Do you wear white after labor day? Are you a fashion rule breaker?

I discovered a great online retailer – Sheinside – not too long ago and I instantly fell in love. They have such a large variety of clothing and accessories, it’s scary for someone like me. Right now, they are having a huge sale on many of their summer items. I thought it would be fun to share some of my favorite summer trends via Sheinside for those of you (like me) who are on a budget. These are great quality clothes for unbelievable prices.

Orange Tunic // Three07

July 23, 2014

I love summer. It is a great time of year. Beaches, vacations, ice cream cones, shorts and sandals, weddings, friends, family. It doesn’t get much better…until fall comes. See, in the southeast, it’s a bit humid during the summer. It’s hot and humid. We have had “summer weather” since April. Around the end of July/early August, I start anticipating fall. Fall is my favorite time of year! I love the boots, scarves, leggings, sweaters, cardigans, leaves, weather, PSLs, Halloween, and football. Ah, football. It’s also my favorite time of year because Ryan and I celebrate our anniversary and I get to celebrate the birth of my two favorite boys! Fall, I smell you! Where you at?

This orange tunic from Three07 is so perfect. It’s flowy and flattering and I love the ivory crochet detail. I had to get it in orange because of Florida and Auburn. I have to be prepared for football season, duh! This tunic is perfect for summer and fall. It can be paired with shorts and sandals or leggings and booties! I definitely love clothing that is diverse and that I can wear through multiple seasons. The Joyce tunic also comes in royal blue.

The Only Picture I Regretted Taking // iMO

July 21, 2014

This post may contain affiliate links. I was given products as compensation for an honest review. Opinions are my own.

…was the one I didn’t take. Cliche? Well, Hi. My name is Logan and I am addicted to taking pictures. My addiction has grown since having Hampton. It’s really becoming a problem. Ryan has had to empty my phone’s pictures to my computer 3 times in the last 8 months. Do you know how many photos your iphone can hold? A lot. That’s not including the photos on my camera.

Honestly, I’m not ashamed. I meant what I said. I have never regretted a single picture. In fact, I usually leave a moment thinking, I should have taken more. I want to capture every expression and movement of my son because I was to remember everything. I don’t want to forget a single detail.

If you’ve been around my blog for a while, you know that I have a love for all things pretty. iMO camera straps have a collection of fashionable and stylish straps that make carrying around that camera a little more bearable and even fun! I absolutely love my new strap and have been using it for nearly a week now. It is comfortable to wear and extremely good quality. It’s much softer than the strap that came with my camera, plus, it’s pretty. iMO has a great variety of straps that will fit any personality. I had a really hard time picking one out because I wanted all of them. Check them out on Facebook!

This vest is so much fun. I am loving the crochet look this summer. I love this vest because I can throw it on over any of my tanks and it adds that extra layer without making me sweat bullets. I am in Alabama, you know.
