Happy Memorial Day, friends! As the daughter of immigrants, I feel truly blessed to live in this country and am grateful for those who have served to protect its rights. May we never forget their sacrifice!
THACKER: Silk Coat + Denim Leggings + Leather Clutch
First, I want to wish you all a happy post-Easter week!
As much as I love holidays, the chaos surrounding all the festivities can be a bit overwhelming, so it’s nice to get back into the groove of things afterwards. I personally spent the day at the Emergency Room (more on that later) and have been in recovery mode ever since. I don’t think I fully understood the meaning of being miserable until I got sick on Easter and had TWO kiddos to tend to. Oy! Thank God for amazing husbands that step up to the plate when necessary. Quality guy right there!
THACKER: Tunic Dress, Denim Leggings + Leather Handbag
So y’all know I turned the big 30 a couple months ago. It’s crazy because inside I still feel like I’m 17, buuuuuut a lot has changed since then. I look back on certain things I wore and definitely cringe! Haha. But over the past 13 years, my perspective on many things has drastically changed. I used to wear a lot of fast fashion, but I’m at the point in life where I no longer spend money on things I don’t absolutely love or that won’t last.
Transitional Fashion: Maxi Dresses + Denim Jackets
Hi friends! Hope you’re all having a great Tuesday. Today’s post is fun and lighthearted because we’re talking about that glorious transition from dreary winter to blooming spring. And what better way to celebrate the weather getting warmer than with pretty maxi dresses and denim jackets?
Spring Fashion: Mint Bell Sleeve Embroidered Top
Happy Tuesday, friends! You’ve probably noticed I haven’t been posting as many outfit posts on here lately. Life with two kiddos has just been so insanely hectic! I have yet to try to get through a photoshoot with both my toddler and newborn in tow, but it’s looking like it’ll have to happen in the next few weeks. Being cooped at home has had its advantages, though, because it’s given me time to think about the direction I want to take this blog.
Fashion Go-Tos: 4 Pieces to Inspire Confidence
We all have those outfits that make us feel good; those pieces we automatically gravitate towards even when we’re on day 7 of dry shampoo (moms, you know what I’m talking about) and that leave us with a sense of confidence in ourselves.
6 Things My 20s Taught Me
A couple weeks ago, I turned the big three-oh. THIRTY. Oh my word, I’m not even sure how that happened. My twenties seemed like they were going to last forever, but I suppose all things eventually end, right?
Motherhood: Transitioning from One to Two Kids
Hi guys!
Since I last checked in with you, my little family has grown by an extra two hands and two feet! While I’m not quite ready to share baby B’s birth story yet, I wanted to talk a little bit about our transition from one to two kids.
Cheers to 2018: New Year Resolutions + A Cozy Winter Outfit
Happy New Year: it’s officially 2018! It’s hard to believe how fast last year flew by. I guess when you’re a parent, what they say holds true: “The days are long, but the years are short.” That basically sums up the last couple years of my life. Since becoming a mom, it’s amazing how the days can simultaneously drag on and fly by.
But I wouldn’t have it any other way. And from the bottom of my heart, I want to thank you all for following along with me on this blogging journey. To be able to combine my passion for style and writing- while taking the time to raise a family- has truly been a dream come true.
Fridays Are For Mauve: Off the Shoulder Oversized Sweaters
Happy Friday, friends! I don’t know about you guys, but this has been a loooooooong week for me. Between my toddler refusing sleep, keeping up with the house, getting ready for baby no.2, plus my two side hustles… oh, and throw in being a wife and mom… I’m feeling stretched pretty thin. It seems that every time I try to take a moment for self care, something else shows up- usually in the form of a toddler and/or husband. Ha! Story of every mom’s life, am I right?
