Good morning and happy Monday!  It is a very happy Monday indeed. Last night ended the four day streak of nonstop rain that we’ve had and that is reason enough to celebrate! I hope everyone had a great weekend too. Ours was pretty low key with the weather, but we did manage to get out for some Sabatoni’s pizza, had a movie night and did a ton of crafts. Knowing ahead of time that the weather was going to be gloomy, I went to Target and got kids crafting items from their dollar spot section. They have so many cool items right now in preparation for spring! 

To continue with the happy mood, today’s feature is a pink and polka dot combo that is sure to brighten any day and put a smile on your face. Anything pink is an instant mood lifter for me! Polka dots are one of the big trends for spring and this button down top is a great way to incorporate the look into your wardrobe. I love the girly bow tie at the neck! This top is a steal at only $13 and fits true to size. I have on a small. I’ve worn this top multiple times since taking these pictures and love it immensely. I was wearing it during the instastories video I did on Saturday. I want to thank everyone for your encouraging and uplifting words regarding the video on my journey with acne too! I’m thinking I may turn it into a blog post now.

Mommy & Me- Hydrangea Dress

On Me: Sail To Sable Shift Dress c/o || Boater Hat || Similar Blush Heels || Rattan Clutch || Stella & Dot Earrings c/o || Jackie Kennedy Bracelet ||

On Ava: Sail To Sable Shift Dress c/o || Cat Ballet Flat || Cat Hat, New Version || 

Good morning and happy Friday, friends! This post makes me smile so big! Mommy and Me posts are always my favorite. How cute is Ava showing off her dress?! She was especially excited about the pockets, haha. For two days we had some amazing weather with sunshine and temperatures reaching 70 degrees. It was glorious and literally smelled like spring was here, which meant the spring dresses came out!

 These tweed dresses from Sail To Sable are the most beautiful color of hydrangea blue. Cape Cod’s signature flower is the hydrangea which makes these dresses even more special to us. Both are a shift style with fringe at the neckline. Mine also has fringe trimmed along the sleeves and Ava’s has fringe at the front pockets. Speaking of, she loved having pockets to stick her hands into! She’s a smart little lady. Pockets are the best and a feature I always look for myself. I found both dresses to fit true to size and comfortable to wear in the warm weather. I cannot wait to break these out again once spring arrives!

Eyelash Lip Print Tee

Good morning and happy Thursday! Yesterday we had some AMAZING weather and it was marvelous to experience it after all of the snow and cold we’ve been getting. I can’t wait to share some of the Mommy and Me photos Ava and I took while enjoying the warmth. 

I have to admit when I saw this tee, I instantly thought of Marilyn Monroe. The eye shape, long lashes, and of course famous red lips all have me imagining Marilyn while looking at the tee. That alone makes it beyond cool, even though it’s tehnically not Marilyn. She’s always been one of my favorite movie stars and all time icons. Since I had Marilyn on my mind, I wanted the look to be a little more glam with leopard prints and pops of red. The jean jacket adds a casual flair and also some practical warmth since I was headed to the movies while wearing this and knew it would be cooler when I got out of the theater. Trade out the heels for some sneakers and the skirt for some skinny jeans and you have a fabulous weekend ensemble!

Good morning, friends!  Talk about an elevated tee! This embroidered star print velvet tee is just that. It is very soft to the touch and looks out of this world, pun intended!, when on. Besides the shinging stars, I’m really loving the slightly high neck this tee has. I’m wearing an XS here, but I would advise to go up one size. The XS fit fine, but I would have liked a little more length and wiggle room to move around. While I wanted to soften the tee up with some blush colors, another way I would style it is with a black circle skirt. I think it would look absolutely smashing!

Three Bows In A Row

 Blush Bow Dress c/o || Similar Multi Color Pumps || Similar Blush Circle Bag || Stella & Dot Pixie Earrings || Stella & Dot Engraved Ring || Jackie Kennedy Pink Diamond Ring ||  

Hello and happy Monday, everyone!  I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend. I went to go see The Greatest Showman about P. T. Barnum and let me tell you, WOW! I left the theater feeling absolutely dazzled! The songs were upbeat and uplifting, the performances above par, and the scenery was magical. You could not help but to smile. This film is what makes a movie musical great! 

This blush bow dress is the embodiment of romantic whimsy. I cannot get over the darling bows either! They make the dress stand out and give the classic shirt dress style some feminine charm. Transcending all areas, this dress can be worn as a party dress, out for date night, brunch with the girls, or even just around town. I found the dress to fit true to size (I’m wearing an XS) and it’s only $28. I am completely smitten with this dress!

Blue Velvet Dress

 Blue Velvet Dress c/o || Leopard Heels || Rebecca Minkoff Cross Body || Jackie Kennedy Cascade Ring || Stella & Dot Engraved Ring || Similar Earrings || 

Happy Friday, friends! Today’s look is all about a date night out with one of the best fitting dresses! A sheath dress is great for extenuating your curves while feeling sexy and elegant all at the same time. The puff sleeve adds an unexpected detail and even reminds me of the 1980s. Big hair bands anyone?? On a side note, my favorite would be Bon Jovi! I’m wearing a size XS and would recommend definitely checking the size guide on this dress as it is very slim fitting. 

Has anyone been watching Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee on Netflix? They just got the series with Jerry Seinfeld and I am obsessed with it! The episodes only last about 20 minutes so it’s easy to fly through them. If you’re a Seinfeld fan you need to watch this. I originally started watching the comedians I was interested in seeing, but then I watched all of the episodes and they’re fantastic. My favorites are Don Rickles, Steve Harvey, President Obama, Will Farrell and Michael Richards. Though from what I understand, it looks like there are other episodes that aren’t on Netflix. I was wondering why Jason Alexander (George from Seinfeld) wasn’t in an episode and after some searching saw that he does in fact have an episode (with Newman!) but it’s not included in the Netflix roundup. I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Good morning and happy Thursday!  While it may not technically be spring yet, I jump at any chance I have to throw on some spring pieces with the little warm ups we’ve been having. This navy linen dress from Julie Brown NYC features a lace up neckline and the ever popular bell sleeves with a little bit of ruffle to them. I immediately thought of  an ocean or lake getaway when I saw this dress. Oh what I wouldn’t give for a warm weather trip right now! I also envisioned pairing it with accessories for a nautical themed ensemble. I cannot wait to start wearing all of my straw and wicker bags again too. They’re my absolute go-to for spring and summer. This company makes some of the best and ones that I carried non-stop last year.

Star Light, Star Bright

Pink Star Top c/o || White Jeans || Cross Body Bag || Glitter Mules || DW Rose Gold Watch c/o || Jackie Kennedy Pearl Earrings || Jackie Kennedy Cascade Ring || Stella & Dot Brier Ring || Stella & Dot Engraved Ring ||  

Good morning, friends!  I hope everyone had a great weekend! Ours was very eventful and the weather even warmed up, but i’ll get to that in a little bit. 

As some of you may or may not know, I have a bit of thing for the star print trend and fell head over heels in love with this top the moment I saw it. The stars are gold foil (my favorite) while the sleeves are beautifully tiered and ever so feminine in the prettiest shade of blush. Sigh. It is one of the loveliest tops I have ever seen. Every detail speaks to me and makes my eyes light up. The top is sheer and does need a camisole underneath. Though we are still in winter, I wanted the outfit to have an air of spring about it pairing the colors of blush, white, and gold together for an effervescent feel. 

This weekend was a blast! First, we had a warm up with temperatures in the 40s. It felt so warm! It’s funny how the 40s in winter feel like a heatwave, while the 40s in fall feel like an arctic blast. I also took Ava to see her first movie on the silver screen. My friend was going with her son and invited us along to see Paddington 2. I wasn’t sure how long Ava would sit for the movie, but she made it about one hour, which was longer than I thought she would. It was a good first experience! I also got out for a girls night to see the new Fifty Shades movie. Oh the end of an era, haha. All of us have gone to see each movie together so it was fun to go see the finale. I was pregnant with Ava when we went to see the first one, which is crazy to think about. Lastly, I started watching This Is Us after hearing so many people rave about it. I know I know, I’m late to the party, but it IS THAT GOOD. Definitely go start watching it if you haven’t already. The first two episodes set up everything and have some surprises in them. Excellent writing.

Happy Friday, friends! One of my favorite places to find a good bargain is at TJMaxx. This post is NOT sponsored or anything, but rather just some great finds I found on a recent visit there. Note, everything in this post is from the actual brick and mortar store and not listed on their online website. It’s deifntely worth a trip to your local store to see if any of the items are available there! They always have hidden gems at amazing prices so be on the lookout. I actually used to work there back in college and would see first hand how new stock comes in everyday. One of my favorite finds was the blush circle bag by Madison West. It looks EXACTLY like the Mansur Gavriel Bag, but for only $30. The Kate Spade hat was another great find and it was on sale! Perfect for the upcoming spring and summer. I initially went in to find some jewelry cases since I’ve found some beautiful glass ones at TJMaxx and Marshall’s before. Upon seeing the triple trays from Richard’s, I decided to go with those instead and LOVE them. They look so chic and allow all of my jewelry to be seen. I hate when my jewelry is tucked away in boxes or drawers. You cannot see what you have then! How adorable is the blouse from Love Notes?! It has an eyelash, lip, and heart print on it. Plus the blue stripes are a classic print that will never go out of style. The leopard bag from Dune London looks way more expensive than it is with a top handle, gold detailing, and pops of red along the sides. 

I hope everyone has a fantastic Friday and weekend!

Good morning and happy Thursday, everyone!  There’s no doubt that I get a little bit excited whenever I see gold details or embellishments. I’m a long time fan of the warm metallic and can never seem to get enough. This tweed dress looks exceptionally luxe featuring a drop waist, tie neck, gold buttons, and a gold plaid pattern throughout.  I found it to fit true to size (wearing an XS). Recently, Shoedazzle teamed up with Barbie Style to create shoes based on what the iconic fashion doll wears. There are truly some amazing styles that were curated as if Barbie were walking the streets of New York Fashion Week herself. If you haven’t seen Barbie Style on instagram yet, definitely go check that out. It’s kind of mind blowing and you’ll get lost for a few minutes seeing her as a fashion blogger! These black pumps are from the Barbie and Shoedazzle collaboration. They are literally dripping in gold with an intricate leaf pattern on the heel and ever so glam. What a showstopper! They fit true to size and have a 4.5 inch heel. There are other colors available including red, blush, white, and black. They arrived with a Barbie Style doll, which Ava was super excited about, haha. She took one look into the box and immediately grabbed the doll! I had quite a collection of Barbie’s growing up so it was fun to see Ava play with her first one. The doll even came with some of her own accessories that every fashion girl would want. Included are some makeup, makeup brushes, a clutch, and a phone. Very cool!

Good morning and happy Wednesday, friends! Hopefully wherever you are it’s not  snowing up to 8 inches like it is here. Regardless, today’s look is all about some flirty feminine fun! This outfit combines just the right amount girliness with a little bit is sass and as I just mentioned, a whole lot of fun. Polka dots are big for spring and are being seen everywhere. It’s a print that has never really gone out of style and always reminds me of my vintage vixens. This suede mini skirt is so soft to touch with the prettiest pleats. They also have built in shorts underneath, which is awesome, so no bending over accidents happen, haha. This outfit would be another fabulous look for Valentine’s Day!

Good morning friends and happy Wednesday! Is there anything more glam than a faux fur leopard coat or a vintage hat? Scratch that, anything vintage really. This sweater and skirt set from one of my all time favorites, Chicwish, does just that giving nod to the era where everything and everyone seemed to be so well put together and polished. An era that I draw inspiration from daily. I couldn’t help but think of Mad Men too when I saw this! I’m wearing a size S/M in the sand color. I stuck with neutrals for the look and let the leopard print be that extra “pop”. 

Make sure you tune in tomorrow for a special post, which of course means my little love bug will be in it! It’s probably my favorite post that I do all year long and it’s been a tradition ever since Ava was born. I can’t wait!

Good morning, friends! This was a really fun look to wear and right up my alley! I love a little bit of sparkle, or a lot haha!, and can never resist an embellishment to add some flare to an outfit. My dad said I looked “festive” which made me smile and laugh. Of course, just one of these pieces alone will add some jazz to your style and definitely brighten the day. The best part is that each piece is under $30! Pearl jeans have been a big trend lately, which I love, and gives them a bit of added elegance. These actually have a raw hem to them, but I had to roll them up a bit since they were a tad long on me. 

I hope everyone has a great day! We’re supposed to get some more snow today, blah. I’m so over winter at this point. Fifty more days until spring!

Good morning and happy Monday!  I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend. We had some warm weather and it was glorious! We were able to get out to the local park and take a walk. Talk about cabin fever, haha. It felt wonderful. 

Speaking of warmer weather, one of my all time favorite styles to wear is nautical. While typically thought of more so in the summer, I love wearing anything nautical inspired all year round. This particular winter look has an all American nautical vibe with beautiful little details like the ruffle hem in the quilted jacket. These skinny jeans (only $18!) are petite friendly and fit like a dream. I always have trouble finding jeans that fit in either the waist or length, but these fit in both. My favorite part of this outfit is the sweater. It is a classic piece that will never go out of style (hello stripes and the most classic color combo ever) and one that can be worn a variety of ways. Not only that, but it’s beyond comfy and only $16!

Good morning, friends! This outfit reminds me of a Disney movie and a I love every single bit of it. The blue circle dress at first made me think of Elsa from Frozen, which makes sense since there was a ton of snow and ice covering the ground. It also brings to mind Cinderella and even Belle from Beauty and the Beast. This dress has a mesh overlay with an intricate pattern on it also fits true to size. I’m wearing a small for reference. The dress hits right at my knees, making it the perfect length for parties or for conservative gatherings. Typically, on an everyday basis, this would be my ideal dress length. I’m also head over heels for this color combination! Light blue, blush, and a pop of sunshine yellow. It’s relaxing, happy, and uplifting all at the same time.

A wonderful and very happy Friday to everyone! Star prints have been everywhere this season and I am a huge fan (ahem, Star Wars.) Stars have always evoked a sense of wonder, hope, and magic for me. While growing up and gazing upon the starry night sky, anything truly seemed possible. Disney’s song “When You Wish Upon A Star” sung by Jiminy Cricket comes to mind as well. It’s a print to get behind and embrace fully. This beaming star dress from Chicwish does just that and does it perfectly. It’s actually a twin set dress with a separate turtleneck underneath the tweed and mesh print star overlay. I loveeee twinsets since it’s a two-for-one deal. The quality of turtleneck is fantastic too! A great piece to wear on its own. The dress part is made from tweed with a mesh tulle overlay with the star print, which is a shimmery bronze color. The dress fits true to size. I’m wearing an XS. 

I hope everyone has a great weekend! Cheers!
