Don't you just love it when a workwear piece comes in your favorite trend or style? I've been having a love affair with midi dresses for awhile now, but I haven't seen a lot of midi dresses for office wear. When I spotted this tailored midi dress at the recent Zara sale, I knew it was going to be mine!
We chose a Baby Shark theme for our son’s first birthday party. Of all the songs we have in our rotation, Baby Shark is his favorite by far. I keep it on replay, especially during long car rides. Hosted in our backyard, we celebrated with family and close friends.
I reflect on the special moments over the past year, like the day you were born, and the day we brought you home from the hospital. You were here, and you were safe, and you were ours. I think back to the first few weeks where you would lie in my arms for hours, sometimes you slept, other times you nursed, and others you would look up at me with those bright eyes of yours.
In my newest YouTube video, I created a Fall Outfit Inspiration Lookbook, mixing some new purchases with older pieces from my closet. Last Fall I was a brand new mom to my little one and I spent most of my time indoors, so this Fall I’m looking forward to expressing my personal style and creativity a lot more.
Last year while I was pregnant with my son, I did tons of research and asked a lot of questions to figure out what I needed for my new bundle of joy. Frankly, like many new moms, I was a bundle of nerves, trying to figure out what we needed. With so many products on the market and so many recommendations., new parents can feel overwhelmed. As a result, I've created a list of 10 must-haves baby's first year. Plus, I’ve included a bonus! These are the essentials that made life as a new mom a lot easier.
Fall brings out the best in personal style and fashion in many of us. Layering, cool prints and chic accessories mean that we can really showcase our personal style, individuality and creativity. It’s no surprise then that Fall is my favorite season for fashion. With style creativity blooming this time of year, there is plenty of inspiration to go around. Below, I’ve included some of my favorite fall 2019 outfit inspiration so far. I’m sure there’ll be a lot more to come.
Approximately two weeks ago, my husband and I vacationed on the beautiful island of Bermuda. We loved it! Beautiful island, friendly people, delicious food, and lots to do. Before booking our trip, we researched Bermuda and learned that it offered a lot of daytime activities, relaxation, and romance for couples. We also learned that it was not a party island. With a new baby and a busy schedule, my husband and I desired a vacation where we could relax, refresh, and spend quality time together. Bermuda gave us what we needed, and we can't wait to fo back. Although we were there for only four days, we packed a lot into our short trip. Here are my top five from our trip to Bermuda.
I love summer (warm weather!) and I love summer fashion. Below I’m sharing some of the items that are my personal summer style favorites. These items are in constant rotation this summer. Isn’t it funny how, the 80/20 rule seems to apply to our closet in that we wear 20 percent of our clothes almost 80 percent of the times, is that true for you too. I digress. Check out my summer style favorites below!
