{Mama & Mini : Beach Ready}


Hello darlings, we have officially made it through another insane week over here and I am looking forward to celebrating dadda (plus having family around) all weekend long.

Our Floriday vaca this past spring seems soooo far away! But atleast we have another mini vacation coming up at the end of July to look forward to.

It may just be the Cape but I am soooo dang thrilled for it. Nothing but comfy cover-ups packed up, with big floppy hats, my favorite people and a pool to float around in. Ahhhhh I can't wait. Friday's were totally meant for dreaming of getaways...

Now about this look. What I pretty much wear all summer long.


I absolutely love twinning my mini. I may get second looks for doing this but bleh to the naysayers. I think it is cute if done tastefully. These JCrew coverups were a must. I sized up so she could wear it a little longer, little munchkin is seriously growing like a weed.

And what I love most about mine is that I can easily wear it with cutoffs (it has slits so it's easy to wear tucked into the front!) and over leggings to the park. We all know I am a fan of something that can be worn many ways.







These sandals I am wearing were a last minute steal and now worn a ton and still just as comfortable. And goodness the straw tote was a #targetwin . The tassels, the size and handles being long enough to toss on your shoulder makes it a PERFECT beach bag.

ME: Shades via KuDaTe // JCrew Cover-up (love this pom pom one) // Sandals // Hat // Tote

Happy Friday my loves, I hope it's a great one!

{What Mama Wore: Not Quite Spring Weather}


Oh hey hey, Friday!!!!! Guys, this week has been killer. I mean, like slowly killing me. Zoe has two molars that are almost poking through, which meant she had a fever, and not to be TMI but also diarrhea which for a potty trained toddler is HORRIFIC. This all meant I had a toddler on my hip, a ton of laundry/chores to catch up on (with said toddler on m hip) anddddddd I also restarted my get fit with barre (pronounced barrr not barre... lol snapchat joke.). So to over view all that, I am sore from both holding Zoe all day, working out and sick of being stuck inside.

And now onto the white denim that I have been wearing way too much. The fit is just so good that I keep going back to them. Plus, even though it was in the 30's on Monday and Tuesday, it's officially spring once you pull out the white pants and bare the ankles, right??






AG Jodi High Rise Flared Crop Jeans // also love these with more stretch) //old top, want this striped one // old Old Navy slides, love these // Scarf from Ku De Ta, similar here and under $20 // RayBan aviators // Similar Bag

There a few pieces that help me transition right into spring when the weather doesn't quite feel like spring and I am wearing two right here, blanket scarf and a pair of white denim. I went for a cropped flared pair, very flattering and although on trend, not too trendy to invest in a quality pair.

What are your go-to "not quite spring" pieces?

Oh and PSA: You need this tinted sunscreen and moisturizer : I have been talking about it to EVERYONE that will listen. They are that good.

I needed something I could wear daily but that has some coverage. Absolutely perfect for summer months or us mamas who need a little something even if it's just to wear with our yoga pants! And the moisturizer is thick but not oily and perfect for after I take off my makeup at night... The key to not look as old and tired as you feel is to moisturize and sunscreen the heck out of your face!!! #winning

Off to finish this weeks dish... So stay tuned!!

{What Mama Wore: Feeling Like a (Comfy) Grecian Goddess}


Happy Monday my loves!

We had a perfect weekend around these parts. And I can't wait to share more pics of our surprise wedding! Yes you read that right!!! We had an intimate beautiful (and rained on!) ceremony and then invited our closest friends and family to join us and celebrate. It was everything I had always imagined and it felt so great to have my brother and his wife witness us making it official! Now back to regular posting and one more day for the Tubby Todd giveaway!

I'll be announcing the winner tomorrow.

I absolutely love a piece that can instantly transform how you feel. In this case it's this Rachel Pally maxi. It was one I wore all vacation long. And can see myself wearing for years to come!

I have vowed to cut out some of the cheapo buys and start buying quality pieces that will not only lost but feel incredible on. I have so many pieces in my closet that I always take off because "they just don't fit right"... Do you know the feeling? Well here is to the start of a season of less almost perfects and buying something perfect.




Maxi dresses are my vacation must! Actually they are what I wear all spring and summer long. This one does not wrinkle easily (I hung in the bathroom while I showered to loosen the fabric) and can easily be dressed up or down. They are much more comfortable than PJ's and one like this can easily be worn by you expecting or nursing mama's!

Hope you all enjoy your day.
