How dreamy is this dress?! If dress dreams could come to life, this summer blue crochet dress would be mine. It’s perfectly feminine, flattering, versatile, and easy to wear. It’s also modest and great to wear with Ivy Jean which isn’t always the case. It stays in place and is covered. I wore it to church on Sunday and then to work the next Monday. No shame. Sizing and Fit I did size up to a medium in it. When…
Ivy Jean you are 18 months old! I can hardly believe it. We celebrated with a half birthday cake just like we did last year, and it brought me so much joy to continue the tradition with you just like my mom did for me. This year you partook too! Dare I say these last six months have been my favorite. You are coming into your own, and your dad and I just cannot get enough of you. You make…
I wonder how many posts I have about floral midi dresses of different varieties. Let’s leave that question unanswered…I have a thing with floral midi dresses, okay? This one is so fun and perfect for date night, summer weddings, or any summer event. And guess what?! Russ and I actually have a date night coming up! Whoop, whoop. We just celebrated our ninth anniversary, and we will be going out to celebrate next weekend. It’s hard to believe. In case…
How cute is this tie back peplum top ($14)?! I’ve actually had it for a while and previously worn it on the blog here with this exact same bag. What can I say, I know what I like I guess. When I last shared it, I wore it with regular denim. Today I paired it with my white jeans and pink slides I cannot quit wearing. I actually bought these shoes specifically to wear with my dress for family photos. Even…
I cannot believe this is the first time this t-shirt is making an appearance on the blog because I have worn it a ton in real life. It is a t-shirt you need! I first bought it on our trip to Chicago which was at the end of March. It comes in multiple colors and is $39. I bought my normal size. You could size down if you wanted a more fitted look as mine is looser. I’ve worn it…
Happy Friday everyone! Hope you all have had a great week. We got back yesterday from a great week at the beach. If you followed along on Instagram, you have probably already seen these photos and more on my stories. I thought I would share our beach trip photos here too. I love that the blog allows me to document parts of our lives. I’ll link everything for you here too in case you don’t use liketoknow.it or follow on…
I have been on a bit of a pink kick lately. It started with the fun pink slides I bought that seem to go with everything adding the cutest bit of color. Then I got these adorable pink earrings (only $13). When I got this new pink peplum top, I just went for it and styled multiple pinks together. The top is one size fits all and has a bit of a linen feel. The combo made it a little…
Food Journey When I was working on Ivy Jean’s 18 month post update, I asked if anyone had any questions for me. Someone asked me about food which isn’t the first message I’ve gotten about it. I love food. I’ve always loved food. In the past, I’ve actually had a more unhealthy relationship with food. I have been heavier at different times in my life causing different struggles with body image. I think many of us have similar stories or can relate in one…
My heart skipped a beat when I finally found these shorts that are long enough! Can a tall girl and a momma who doesn’t want to show her hiney get an AMEN?! Plus they are CUTE! They also come in a distressed version, and I just might need them too. You can also roll they up if you want. I am honestly not a huge shorts fan. It could be that I usually have trouble finding them or that I…
I’m pretty obsessed with this $17 kimono. I don’t want to be bossy or anything, but I think you need one too. When considering how to wear a kimono, there are multiple ways and one of the main reasons I like them. We have a beach trip coming up, and I think these make the perfect bathing suit coverups (see below). Add denim shorts with a cute one piece suit, and you can go from dinner to the beach. Then…
