Mother's Day Gift Guide 2018

Mother’s Day is right around the corner, actually six weeks to be exact.  But if you’re a planner like, me and want to get a jump start on shopping, look no further.  I’ve put together a Gift Guide for a little something to go with those hand-printed cards and macaroni necklaces.

Floral Frocks - Spring 2018

As I mentioned in my previous post, we booked a vacation to somewhere beachy and I’m dreaming of warmer climates.  So although it may be a little early, in fact there is snow falling outside my window as I type this, I’ve rounded up some of my favorite floral frocks for Spring.  Some which already hang in my closet, some that are lingering in my online shopping carts, and some that I just truly appreciate but will probably never have a chance to wear.  I’m looking at you #5.  Honestly, if my bank account could sustain it, I’d buy them all!  Floral is such a feminine staple and I love to see how designers reinvent it over and over again each season.  See my top picks for some Spring 2018 floral dresses.

*Dresses that admittedly are already in my closet!

Hi everyone!  I’m sorry I have been so M.I.A. here on the blog but we’ve had a lot going on recently with a sick kiddo (who thankfully is doing much better), a stream of out-of-town visitors and gearing up to host Thanksgiving.  Luckily, this nice weather has been giving us a chance to get outside and enjoy some fresh air, play in the park and finally rake up all of our leaves.  We had a total of 16 giant bags of leaves from just our front yard!  Yeesh.

With this nice weather I have been loving that I don’t have to wear tights just yet!  Don’t get me wrong I love tights but since I dress up at the office and typically wear dresses and skirts to work, I feel like I live most of the fall, winter and even some spring months in tights.  So it’s nice not to be forced into them with the delayed onset of cold weather here in Denver.

My trusty pleated midi skirt has been on frequent rotation this fall and I like to pair it with bare legs and pumps or pointed flats.  I’ll mix in boots (and tights) as it continues to get colder.  I’ve been donning pleats since I went to Catholic school, and I love that they’re really back in style now that I’m an adult.

Fall Footwear Edit 2017

As much as it pains me to admit that summer is coming to an end, I can cope because fall fashion.  I love all of the luxe fabrics and details of the season, especially when it comes to shoes.  This year is all about embellishment and texture. Pearls, velvet and updated flats reign supreme.  So in honor of the first day of New York Fashion Week, I wanted to share my 2017 Fall Footwear Wish List!  See my selections for everything you need to look have your feet looking fabulous through fall!

Spring Shoe Edit 2017

Although it feels more like winter in Denver now than it did just last week, I wanted to share my Spring 2017 Shoe Wish List!  I’ve been stocking up on nude block-heel sandals as seen on my Instagram.   Typically I gravitate towards neutral shoes but I’ve also really been loving footwear with a pop of pink.  Pink pairs with almost everything so try this season’s perfect pastel pink tennis shoes,  rose mid-calf boots, fuchsia lace-ups, or blush mules.  Spring shoes are all about the details with fringe, fur and floral popping up everywhere.  See my top picks to spring your footwear forward this season. (Pun intended!)

The sun was shining in Denver this weekend and it really was such a beautiful couple of days.  On Sunday, Scott and I had our own little date day which was so nice to just have a laid back day to ourselves.  We took the dog to the park, had lunch on a patio (followed by a stop at Dairy Queen… I mean come on, 70 degrees in April calls for a DQ Blizzard), played cornhole in our yard just the two of us (to really take advantage of the warm weather), made dinner and watched a movie.  It was a perfect day!  And now that we have a little one on the way, I’m really trying to cherish the one-on-one time with my husband.
