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.

A Dress Over Jeans

The trend of styling a dress over jeans is perfect for days when you just can’t seem to figure out what to wear to be comfortable in the in-between spring temperatures.  I’m always cold and wearing basic skinny jeans under this printed off-the-shoulder dress proved just about perfect to keep me warm while out and about.

Ruffle-Sleeve Sweater

This ruffle-sleeve sweater is my new spring obsession.  It is so cozy and instantly adds a bit of flare to your outfit.  Ruffles are everywhere this season and this pretty pastel purple is the perfect way to tie in color to an otherwise basic outfit.

Blush Gingham and Blossoms

We’ve had a pretty mild winter here in Denver but there’s just something about full-on Spring!  I’m really enjoying the warm weather, longer days and love that everything is so beautiful in bloom this time of year.  Driving by these blossoming trees in my neighborhood puts a smile on my face each day!  Pink is one of my favorite colors in any shade and I’m so happy that it’s everywhere this season in nature and in fashion.

Loving Lace-Up

I say, all lace-up everything!  I just added this long-sleeve ribbed dress to my rotation and I really appreciate that it’s such a classic piece. The ribbing creates a very flattering fit and I absolutely love the lace-up neckline with gold grommets.  It’s so on trend yet classic, and perfect for summer and the months leading up to it.

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!)

PinkBlush Swing Dress

Denver, fashion, Give-A-Way, lifestyle, Maternity, Pregnancy, Spring

IMG_0354We took a break from decorating the nursery (formerly Scott’s gym) and grabbed a bite to eat on a patio so we could enjoy the lovely weather we’ve been having.

So far, in the nursery we have a crib and a dresser filled with a few cute onesies and things I just couldn’t resist picking up for our little guy.  This past weekend, with some much-needed help from my dad, we focused on giving the space a new coat of paint, installing a new ceiling fan and hanging up some curtains.  I’m so excited to start pulling the baby’s room together and will share more with you in the future.
