Summer Favorites

DETAILS. Mint Ombre Dress (on sale! Also in love with this mint one & this one) // Neon Beaded Clutch // Prabal Gurung Heels (old similar here)
HOME PIECES. Grey Lounge Chair (old similar here & here) // Cynthia Rowley Pillow

Mint and neons are two of my favorite Summer colors to wear. This is my second beaded clutch from Nila Anthony. They are always the statement piece to an outfit, but I think my favorite piece from this look is this mint ombre dress, and it's on sale for under $40.

DETAILS. Grey Oversized Sweater (went a size up to a medium for an oversized look) // Distressed Skinny Jeans (size 25 - runs true to size) // Grey Ankle Boots (run true to size) // Prada Handbag (budget friendly here) // ILY Pearl Necklace (on sale for $14)

Probably one of the most common emails and instagram questions I get is about sizing, so I am going to do my best to start sharing as much sizing info as possible on my looks so you have an idea how the items will fit you. I love when stores share what size the person in the photo is wearing, so I hope this will help you guys as well :) I actually wore this look when we were in San Francisco. I was surprised how much cooler it was there then back home. This oversized sweater is so comfortable. I ordered it in all 3 colors. It's a Fall must have for sure. Also this pearl necklace is on sale at ILY for only $14 right now, over 75% off.

MY OUTFIT. Green Oversized Blazer/Shawl (size small - also loving this one) // White Leith Tank // Necklace // Distressed Skinny Jeans (true to size) // Report Boots (old similar here) // Marc Jacobs Watch
KID'S OUTFIT. Beckam: Stripe Hoodie (sized up so it fits him longer) // Skinny Jeans (run a little big) // Shoes  Mara: Stripe Maxi Dress

When traveling I like to have comfortable layers. Seems like I'm always cold on the plane so I like to bring a light weight jacket to throw on. Beckam just grew out of all his newborn shoes, so these are the first ones I have gotten in his new size. How cute are they? I think baby shoes are my favorite baby item to buy.

DETAILS. Neon Orange Shorts (under $15 - size 6) // Nike Shoes (run a half size small - color: grey/green/mango) // Michael Kors Watch

The pieces that got the most wear this summer were hands down these shoes and shorts (full post on them here) I can't get enough of the Internationalist sneakers.

DETAIL. 3 Tier Dainty Layered Necklace // Knot Bracelet Set // Gold Midi Ring Set // Grey Floppy Hat

I love the dainty layered look. I'm usually trying to stack my necklaces so they vary lengths, but a lot of times they are so close it's harder to do. The one above is actually one necklace with three chains so it makes your stacking easy, love the varying shapes and chains.

DETAILS. Floral Dress (size small) // Mint Bag (old loving this under $60 here) // Pink Heels (true to size)

I feel like floral is the epitome of Summer. Everyone needs a good floral piece in their closet.

Quick post today I have been in major deep cleaning mode, and forcing myself to DEJUNK. I have that mentality that I think I miggggght wear a random item five months down the road and then I never do. So I am forcing myself to simplify. Does anyone else have a hard time dejunking?

Nordstrom Women's and Kids Half Yearly Sale starts today! Shop the sale here. I'll be sharing some of my favorites and stuff I got later this week. Here's a couple I spotted so far :)

Radiant Orchid

DETAILS.

Lulu's Dress (under $50) / Heels [old similar here] / Sunglasses / Prada Bag

A couple weeks ago my family was in town helping me set up the nursery. My dad surprised us with tickets to the ballet [Sleeping Beauty]. I've never been in Utah before, so it was fun having an excuse to get a little dressed up and try something new :)

This Lulu's dress is another one of those non-maternity items I just ordered a couple sizes up so it would fit "the bump". I'm loving the purple hues that are so popular after Pantone named radiant orchid the color of the year. I just ordered this basic boyfriend tee (under $20) that will be a good basic through Spring and Summer.  

Don't forget Sunday night is the last day to take advantage of the ASOS Sale. They are running 20% off new Spring pieces on top of the Spend and Save.  The dress I wore in this post is now available in pink and part of the Spring sale. Below are the codes for the promo :)

Hope you all have a great weekend!

Utility Neautrals

DETAILS.

Utility Jacket / AG Jeans (maternity non maternity here) / Rag and Bone Boots (similar here) / ILY Necklace / ILY Rings / Prada Bag (budget friendly here)

Hey everyone! Hope you had a fun weekend and are enjoying the day off for President's Day. Today's look is laid back. I found these great utility jackets at F21 a couple weeks ago for $30 and got the one in today's post and a black one. They are great basic layering pieces. 

Yesterday I did a little sale shopping. Nordstrom is running their shoe clearance sale (up to 40% off). I'm loving these mint heels and these Spring Nike's.

Everyday

DETAILS.

Vince Top (similar here)  / Black Blazer (old similar budget friendly here / love this one)

AG Jeans (maternity/ same non maternity here) / Tieks Snakeskin Flats c/o

Prada Bag (budget friendly here) / Michael Kors Watch / Karen Walker Sunglasses / Mini Hoop Earrings

Hi everyone! Hope you all had a great weekend! My family came to visit and we started setting up the nursery and getting ready for our new little guy :) I have slowly been adjusting to appreciating flats. From a girl who is used to living in heels pregnancy has forced me to reevaluate. These neutral print flats have become my new go to for everyday wear.

For you pregnant ladies out there I have found pairing a fitted piece (ie a blazer) over a flowy top helps keep your form but still gives you that loose comfortable feeling of an oversized top.

This weekend I was down in Dallas for a blogger conference. It is so green and beautiful right now, everything is in full bloom. Dallas has a special little place in my heart because it's where I met my hubby, so it was fun being back in our old stomping grounds. 

I wore this look for one of the dinner events we had the first night. I found it online a couple weeks ago and immediately fell in love. I'm really drawn to the mirrored pattern trend right now. What do you guys think of the trend? Have you tried it?
