I've been on such a smoothie kick lately. Not sure if it's a pregnancy craving or if it's my body wanting clean foods, but I drink 3 or 4 a week. And now that our kitchen is almost done, I'm jumping on every opportunity to use it. ...
I was so excited to get a glimpse of warmer weather on our babymoon but had a little trouble when it came to swimsuits. I've mentioned before that I'm not really a fan of "maternity fashion" and that was certainly true when it came time to shop for swimsuits. I made it my goal to find a few options that were bump-friendly without being too cheeky or revealing (that post is coming soon) and really lucked out with a few. After all, this is your time to proudly show off your bump and not worry about sucking in at the pool. Win-win. ...
Each spring I always find a lace tunic that I wear non-stop. You know, the blouse you can throw on for an easy weekend outfit or that's comfy enough to wear to the airport. This tunic from Free People has been that for me. I honestly think it might be a dress (?), but for me being pregnant and almost 5'7, that wasn't an option. ...
If you are like me, you love all things organization. Maybe it's because I was a teacher for 6 years or I just love the idea of things all having a place — either way, I get excited to be organized. Now that doesn't mean I'm always organized per se, but I like to have the tools when needed.
I posted this makeup case on Instagram last month and got an overwhelming response of organizers seeking more tips and tricks when it came to this area. Several of you (528 to be exact) also bought one of these for yourself and mentioned how you wanted more ideas for affordable travel organizers to store makeup, skincare and makeup brushes. ...
Hello from Palm Springs! Austin and I are here on a little babymoon/last Valentine's Day before the baby. It has been super chill and very relaxing, to say the least, which is everything we wanted in a babymoon. We are also getting to see my family next week in Orange County, which will be a nice addition to the trip as well. ...
My white handbags and shoes are starting to make their debut and just like many of you, I am loving this trend. With warmer weather on the horizon (c'mon March!) I am starting to look for white accessories to wear this spring and summer. ...
It's always this time of year that I start to pull out more white accessories, lighter layers and pieces that can transition well for the upcoming spring season. For me, it always comes down to good layering cardigans or dusters. I live in those this time of year. And to keep things from feeling "too wintery" I throw on my White Booties (similar options here and here) (or a lighter handbag) to give the look a fresh approach to the new season.
I know many of you are also in the same boat. It's chilly where you live, you don't want to buy new winter clothes, but you want to update your wardrobe to where it's practical and seasonally appropriate. Look no further — I've compiled a list of my top choices for light layers and all things that will transition well into spring. ...
A few weeks ago I stumbled upon this gem of a dress. Lately, I've been living in anything stretchy, comfy and easy to wear. This dress was a real win for me and knowing it's under $40 makes it even better. It's not too heavy and ideal to wear as we transition into spring. Whether you are heading from desk to dinner or wanting a new approach to styling a sweater dress, here's a couple ways I've been wearing it lately. ...
I shared in this post that I double cleanse as part of my skincare routine, but have never really gone into detail about why and how. Well, it started a few years ago when I went to my dermatologist for acne. Of course we all hope for a miracle solution that will magically erase all our blemishes, but instead, my derm suggested something I hadn't tried before: double cleansing at night. Let's just say I was game to try anything at that point, and bottom line: it's done wonders for my skin. It's even become part of my nightly regimen. ...
