Maternity/Family Photos

Happy New Year everyone!  It’s still January, so technically I think it still applies.

We took these photos at the beginning of December for our holiday cards and it was literally freezing outside.  I think it was 20 degrees and we were so so cold.  You can tell by Carter’s little chapped nose.  Don’t worry we kept having him go to the car for warm ups after short spurts of taking pictures.  It was not the easiest photo session because we had to wake him up from too long of a nap, get him dressed and then stick him in the car to drive about 30 minutes from our house, which made him really crabby.  Plus, he was so upset that there were no animals on the “farm”.  He no joke talked about it for six weeks after we took these photos.  So notes to moms:  be careful where you choose to take family photos!  I had no idea this would be such an issue.

We attended a black tie wedding this past weekend at one of my favorite hotels in Denver, The Brown Palace.  (You may have seen the classic hotel on the blog before, as it’s the hotel that holds the annual Champagne Cascade, each year to kick off the holiday season.)  I love a good reason to dress up… and Zach and Michelle’s winter wedding was the perfect excuse to really go for it!

These pictures were taken just this weekend and now there is snow on the ground again.  We’ve had a pretty mild winter here in Denver, but man am I ready for Spring!  We are headed to Australia in just over a month and I am seriously counting down the days until we take off!!!!  42 days and counting!  But we do have a lot of fun things going on before we are off to the Land Down Under, so I’m trying to enjoy everything as it comes and not wish time away.

The holidays may be over, but that doesn’t mean the pretty clothing has to go by the wayside!  Winter wardrobes can start to feel a bit drab when the cold weather persists, but adding some embellishments to your basics is an easy way to update your look.

2017 Holiday Gift Guide

If you’re like me and avoid the Black Friday crowds at all costs, I thought I’d share my 2017 Holiday Gift Guide for those people who ate too much yesterday and would rather shop in their pajamas on the couch.  I hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving!

I recently picked up this cutout choker sweater dress in grey and it’s the perfect go-to for the season.  It’s cozy with an interesting neckline and the short hemline makes it perfect to pair with over-the-knee boots.

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.

Give your winter wardrobe a break from black and a breathe of fresh air with all white! Now that our February heat wave has come to a halt and there should be a light dusting of snow in Denver today, it’s the perfect time to try the monochromatic color coding in a palette of winter white.

NYC (8)This past weekend, Scott and I spent a long weekend in New York City.  We’re lucky enough to have friends who live in the city and they always show us a good time, taking us to historical bars, hip restaurants and recommending fun tourist activities a little off the beaten path.  For those without friends in NYC, here’s my long-weekend guide to New York City.
