Spring Inso For Mama

You guys, I am letting you in on a little secret, I am obsessed with inspiration collages. This type of outfit inspo collage is something I have down for "styling clients" AKA friends I have created capsules for and personal shop for. T

hey usually come to me before a new season or new career or simply a new mama needing oomph in their wardrobe. I then survey their closet to see what they can keep and toss, and shop the main pieces they need to add to create all the looks.

Then these little inspo collages can be hung near their closet before packing or as a guide to create outfits daily on there own. It's my dream job. But it's also 1000% how I put outfits together, from what I see on IG, or on the street here in NYC and on Pinterest.

This Spring I see myself needing a strong high waisted pair of denim, some non-booty showing high waisted cut-offs, graphic tees, a button up, a couple midi dresses, flowy tops and maybe a flow midi skirt. A denim jacket ( a little oversized!), a trench for rainy days, a few hats, I am all for the sun protection but also just makes almost any outfit so chic. For shoes, ballet flats, a city heel, some nude slides and going to need to find some sneakers that I really love, are Golden Goose sneakers worth the$?

Hope this inspires you to look in your closet and create some looks!

Five Friday Favorites

Hey all!!

I cannot even believe that I am typing this but : Ami has another double ear infection and fudge it has been a hard exhausting week. Biggest thing I changed, I asked for help. O came to do pickups (he does most drop offs!!) and he came home early and did baths one night. Mamas asking for help as a SAHM is hard AF but I am finally realizing it does not make me stronger to just suck it up.

We changed this Instant Pot Butter Chicken recipe to be Whole 30 and it was so good, am going to make it again to share the recipe (it was that good!!). I also made a homemade Whole 30 Meat Sauce (here is something similar) over zucchini noodles and it was sooooo delish. I served it with big salads and over veggie pasta for the girls. We are missing a sweet desert so I plan on making these brownies and also trying new deserts like this one. 95% of Whole 30 has been PLANNING & PREPPING.

Anywhooooo off to snuggle both my girls and relax! Here are five things I am eyeing at the Bloomingdale's Friends & Family sale !

1. Still have not found the perfect Trench coat for me, but I love this one for a pop of color (this one is budget friendly) and both have 25% off!

2. I had a pair of cargo drawstring pants that I wore non stop but ripped them last year, these camo ones are EVERYTHING, such a great deal with the 25% off! Pair with a bodysuit, slides and a oversized cardigan and you have my GO-TO Spring pickup outfit!

3. Love me a jumpsuit and eyeing so many but this floral one sweet one would be perfect for Easter and could be warn all season long! Love this white one with buttons is so cute too!

4. On the hunt for a bag for vacation, and this open weave is a contender, this one toooooo and this is a splurge and a bit impractical for a city mama who always has kids with her but OMG so cute. I love this one under $50!

5. And gosh my legs are not ready for shorts but I'll need them on Spring Break so I am looking for high waisted with a bit of length on them, love these, and these Levi's under $100, and these with no distressing too!

Happy weekend my friends!!!
