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?
Casual Mondays: Ruffled Bell Sleeve Sweatshirts
Happy Monday, loves! As you probably know, normally I post on Mondays/Wednesdays/Fridays, but this week is slightly different as I will only be posting on Monday/Friday.
Five Festive Holiday Styles
HAPPY FRIDAY, lovely friends! I hope this week has been kind to you. I’m finally getting ready to organize baby no. 2’s things and install his car seat this weekend, and the reality that he’ll be here within the next month is starting to sink in haha. I’ve got a lot more thoughts on motherhood to share with you, but those can wait until next week 😉
Currently Crushing: Embroidered Velvet Mules
You know you’re getting old when the hottest fashion trends were considered grandma status at some point during your lifetime. Okay, I know I’m not old old (although I do turn 30 next month…. yikes), but I honestly do feel this way every time a previously labeled fashion faux pas slides its way into the mainstream.
Versatile Style: Split Bell Sleeves + Studded Booties
Well, guys, can you believe it’s officially DECEMBER?! I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that Christmas, New Years, a new baby, and my son’s 2nd birthday are all around the corner! I’m not sure if I’ve already mentioned this, but both my oldest son, myself, and this babe are all January babies. Needless to say, January is a busy month for my hubby 😀
Weekend Sale Finds: Shimmery Sweaters + Suede Booties
Happy hump day! I hope you all (or rather your wallets haha) survived the craziness of Cyber Monday. I was able to score a few good deals- namely lots of shoes and a certain instant pot that I’m entirely too excited about- before I realized that I’m 34 weeks pregnant and haven’t gotten a car seat for my baby yet.
I should probably stop buying myself things and get on that, right?!
How to Wear and Mix Textures: Velvet + Lace

If there’s one thing I really adore about fall fashion, it’s the abundance of textures everywhere. From faux fur to velvet and suede, there’s a little bit of something for everyone no matter your style preference. And if you’re anything like me, sometimes you’re just so crazy about several of them that you end up wearing them all!
