The Fourth Frock
Summer is officially in session which means 4th of July is R I G H T around the corner. In honor of the upcoming holiday, I wanted to share this, along with several other goodies, DRESS that is---wait for it kids---UNDER $20
The Saturday Sales
Why in the Sam Hell is it when you're able to sleep in you can't? Well, lucky for you gang, my early bird status means I've done a little sale scouting and came up with some fun summer gems
The Maternity Must Haves
Ok, gang, this is going to be a long (hopefully informative one)....I've been composing a list of my Maternity Must Have's since finding out we're pregnant. This list is robust and random but it's truly the things I've found essential thus far--I'm skipping over the obvious Prenatals, Fruits, Veggies, Water, yada yada yada and getting a touch more specific. I'm sure it will evolve as the bod does, but for now let's get right to it
The Shoe Shop
With my waist line expanding at a rapid pace, there's one thing I can always count on. These babies will never fail me and forever fit...my beloved SHOES!!! I've seen too many to count as of late that I'd like to get my hands on so I wanted to round up a few of my recent purchases
The Embroidered Frock
I wore this DRESS when I F I R S T found out I was pregnant for a weekend in Lexington and the Horse Races. I've sported it a few times since then and I'm telling you, it's the perfect summer frock. The ease of the linen lends itself to the warmer weather while the embroidery adds just a special feminine touch
The Spotted Shoulder
Nothing says summer time like crisp navy and White. Take it a step further and sport one of this season's biggest trends with the Cold Shoulder--this spotted number just so happens to be on S A L E
The Golden Maxi
Can you tell that I'm over the moon for this Dress? Talk about something that just screams summer perfection, and this (non maternity) beauty from Yumi Kim is IT. Not only am I loving this maxi silhouette, but how adorable is this bustier number and this one piece
The Gingham and Sales
Happy Memorial Day Weekend, Gang! The crew and I are having a wonderful weekend in Dallas visiting my bro & sis in law. Lots of good quality time together, fun in the sun, and solid eats...can't ask for much more! This little Gingham Number made its way into my suitcase because you really can't ask for a better poolside slash bbq slash Memorial Day frock
Stripes, Sneaks, and Sales
Gang, we've got a R O B U S T agenda for today! With four ways to sport the sneaks, there's a bit o talk about. We'll kick it off with my love of the Sneak + Dress combo and round it out with some fantastic Memorial Day SALES that are already running full steam ahead. So I think it's safe to say I'm taking the sneak and dress route for this pregnancy
The Fresh Stripes
Never one to deny my love of stripes, I simply couldn't resist snagging this (non maternity) off the shoulder beauty several weeks ago. It's a stripe combo that (shocker) I don't currently own so there you have my justification. B U T new striped combo aside, I'm loving that you can either
Blazers and Books
We're gonna get to this rig, specifically this darling Blazer here in a bit, but first...let's chat B O O K S. Specifically, Talbots Summer Book Club. Gang, I just L O V E this concept--so does my daughter, Chase, who has read more books than her dang mother
The Loft Love
I believe, that once you find a good thing, 'tis important not to stray. Like Sneaks for instance. I love them. I know they work with my wardrobe. They're comfy. End of Story. Same goes for Stripes. They're a neutral. They're classic. They make up 50% of my wardrobe. And sometimes, if we're lucky enough
Lets Get Technical: Home Automation Review
You say the words "Tech" or "Home Automation" and I'm all, "Say Whaaaaaat?" That is, until I married John. Homeboy is T H E king of Home Automation. No, literally the guy would automate ME if he could. If there's a switch, he ain't havin' it
The Pregnancy Plan
We're gonna quick touch base on this Embroidered Jacket which...wowza, gang....I'm in love with the details of this beauty. Not only would it be gorg over a gray slinky dress, but how cute with a Gray Striped Tee, Denim, and Sneaks? So here's how I ordered this
On the Importance of Strong Friendships
Goodness, if there was ever a time where my gal pals are C R I T I C A L to my day to day....'tis now. What with the pregnancy hormonal shifts, irrational thoughts, fears, crazy excitements, changes (read: hind, hips growing larger by the minute), and everything in between...it's my Girlfriends that are huge sources of strength, comfort, support
Gender Reveal: The Baby Blue
"Y E S! Yes, I want to know the gender!" I squealed to my doc upon receiving the results of our genetic testing. Hells to the No do I have the capacity to wait until D-Day. And so without further ado, she said
A Stellar Springtime Sale
Several times throughout the year, there's a SALE that I NEVER pass up. And, folks, lucky for us...the Shopbop Sale 'tis upon us! At up to 25% off, mama is planning on doing some damage
Red Loves Ruffles
If ever I had a spring and summer uniform, a Fun and Flirty Dress paired with some dope Sneaks would no doubt be it. And luckily for us gals, Nordstrom is serving up a stellar selection of dresses that are Under $100
The Spring Meet
It's like a trip down Lexingtonian Lane in this post, gang! It never fails that I start missing my Ole' Kentucky Home at least once a year.....The Spring. Specifically when the Horses run. At one of my fave places in Lexington---Keeneland
Feminine Pastels
The first signs of spring sprinkled the Hoosier State this past week and don't you know I took the opportunity to sport some lovely pastels. Specifically, the Claire Clutch from Gigi New York and this feminine Floral Maxi
