Today is Sloane’s 2nd birthday and I just can’t get over that is has already been a full year. This year flew! I remember a good friend of mine last year at Sloane’s first birthday party telling me that she felt like year two went by even faster and I have to agree with her! Now I know what she was referring to. It has been the amazing to see this little girl turn into a toddler and learn so much. It’s so fun to hear her voice and hear her talk more. She has opinions, likes, dislikes. And I have had so much more fun dressing her lately! She is just the cutest thing ever.

Sloane is sweet, sensitive, shy, cautious little girl. She loves to play in the yard and loves to help us with any task we are doing but especially weeding and watering the flowers. Addie is her best friend and she has no fear of big dogs. I taught her early on to say ‘No, No Addie’ and she says that a lot to her haha. Especially when Addie is trying to steal her food 🙂 Lately, she has turned into a Daddy’s girl and loves being around him every second. I know year three will come with it’s challenges just like the previous years, but I am so looking forward to all the good times with my little girl and watching her grow into the perfect little child that she is!

On another note, today is also my husbands birthday. Sloane and Kurt share a birthday which is still crazy to me. I don’t think I will ever be able to wrap my head around that because the chances are so slime. He is the best dad and it’s no wonder Sloane is obsessed with him. Lately, he has turned into an avid gardener and landscaper haha. Our yard looks so good this year because of him. I can only take credit for the design of it haha. I tell him what kind of flowers/bushes I want and he makes it come to life. I’m so very lucky to have a wonderful partner like Kurt. If you know Kurt, you gotta love him!

Will keep this short and sweet today! So here are some shopping finds I’ve found around the internet lately.

  • This is by far the best self tanning lotion I have ever used! It is more of a gradual glow but even after applying it from day one you have a really nice tan. And it really lasts too. I like to apply this at night with a mitt because it makes it go on more evenly. The best part about this product is there is no smell and you don’t get orange color all over your sheets. I’ve noticed a few spots here and there on my pj’s but it’s nothing like with other products I’ve used. Highly recommend!
  • I like to keep these birthday cards on hand. You get 20 which includes envelopes for only $9, which is such a steal. And makes my life so much easier!
  • On my wish list for Fall- these pink high top sneakers! I think they are so cute.
  • I recently got this striped sweatshirt and it is so adorable! I love the preppy, nautical feel. But the fit is also super cute. It’s cropped, but not too short in my opinion. It’s also a really nice weight. I’ve been wearing it on chilly mornings, but I also think it will be perfect as we head into Fall.
  • I’ve had my eye on these shorts in black, which I think they would be really cute on hot Fall days. I saw a mom at the park wearing these- at least I think they were these. And they looked super cute! I haven’t ordered them yet, but I can’t stop thinking about them.
  • I’ve been noticing oversized heart necklaces all over lately and I kind of want to try the trend. I think it’s so cute. I found this necklace that is more affordable than anything else I’ve found.
  • Ok, are these not the most adorable overalls?! I think they are so cute.
  • The Nordstrom Anniversary sale is still going on and last week I got in my order. I love these sneakers for Sloane! I ordered a size up for her, but I might have to order a pair in her size now. I showed them to her when they came in and it was a struggle for me to get them away from her haha. She loves them too!
  • I ordered these pj’s for Sloane over Amazon Prime day and I’m really impressed with them especially because they are only $20. They are really soft and fit really nicely. They are nice and snug- highly recommend!
  • I finally ordered pillows for our play room- these are the ones I went with. And I can hardly wait! I think they are going to tie everything in so nicely. I’ve been so happy with how this room is coming together. It’s been a lot of fun decorating it!
  • One of my go to outfit lately has been these shorts and this shirt. Love the hot pink! They are both really comfortable, breathable and I just love the fun color.
  • Saks is having a really good sale right now. How cute is this pink dress and I love this white one too. Both have been on my wish list.
  • I am dying right now because I am so obsessed with this top and shorts. I have a baby shower to attend next week and I’m strongly considering ordering this outfit to wear to it. Just wish it wasn’t so expensive!
  • I’m also in love with this striped sweater. Such a classic piece you will wear again and again.
  • Sloane loves to watch Cocomelon and my mom bought her this adorable sweatshirt! She is going to freak out when she realizes Coco is on her clothes!
  • I thought these long sleeve t-shirts were adorable and perfect for Fall for Sloane. I love the puff sleeve detail.
  • On my next Target order, I plan to grab these Halloween leggings for Sloane. The kitties are super cute! And they are only $5. I can’t believe it is already that time of year that we have to start thinking about Halloween!
  • I also added this super cute sweatshirt and sweatpants set to my cart for Sloane. Love the color too!

And so last week I ordered this @rhone set and it’s amazing.  Expect to see me in it every weekend moving forward 😂 It’s incredibly soft and I like the polo style sweatshirt that helps to elevate the outfit. Pair with sneakers and throw on a hat when you don’t feel like dealing with your hair.  An easy weekend outfit!

You don’t need more clothes- you just need the rig You don’t need more clothes- you just need the right ones. A few weeks ago I shared 19 items to build a fall capsule wardrobe on my Substack and I own almost all of them. I’ve been wearing the items all season long, mixing and matching and restyling pieces to make them feel fresh and new. Here are 13 outfit ideas…. but endless possibilities.

The final room that finishes off our first floor- The final room that finishes off our first floor- our dining room!  I finally feel like our house is ‘done’- as done as it can be because I still have lots of ideas and projects I want to tackle. I love how our dining room finally came together from the @serenaandlily chairs I’ve had for years (that are incredibly durable) to the new @shopinslee artwork that finishes off the space. We eat in here every night as a family, we talk about our days, we color, we laugh, we entertain. I’ve mixed high (my chairs, chandelier and artwork) and low (curtains, lamps) and mixed in my grandmas blue and white china that I adore. After five years, I feel settled and love this special home! **when we moved in I never thought we would ever get to this point lol**

When I’m playing around with color, I like to stick to silhouettes I know work on my body and that I love to wear. A classic button down, a dark denim straight leg jean and a classic pair of Mary Jane flats. You can have a little fun…and still feel like yourself!

Sometimes I cheat on fashion with home decor and I Sometimes I cheat on fashion with home decor and I finally feel like my living room is complete.  And I absolutely adore every single detail of it. The light blue sofa to the oversized chair I love to curl up in with a cozy blanket, the antique chairs I got at an estate sale to the $$$ floral fabric I had to have- I wanted it on my antique chairs but had to compromise and get pretty pillows made instead. The details I stressed over for months.  It finally came together just like I envisioned in my head.  I get to live here and I couldn’t be more excited (and proud!) of what I created!

I’m going to live in these @margauxny boots all se I’m going to live in these @margauxny boots all season long!  They are truly my most favorite shoe brand ever. Classics that you want to pull out year after year but the craftsmanship is also superb. They are always my most comfortable shoes, and that’s the main reason I’m such a big fan of the brand.  The new Wells Boot is sleek, lightweight and most importantly made for all weather. Pair them with a classic straight leg jean and an oversized cozy cable knit sweater and you have the perfect fall outfit.

I love the big, oversized fit which makes it super cozy.  It pairs perfectly with my slim ecru jeans. I’m a millennial after all so I’m never giving up on a slimmer jean 🙆🏼‍♀️. The Mary Jane style shoe I can’t quit. They wear like a sneaker because they are so flexible but are more elevated. This outfit works perfect for a work from home day when I want to look (and feel) good but still be comfy.

Wearing my go to leggings in the color I can’t get enough of this season. These leggings are such good quality especially for the affordable price point.

The rollneck sweater I can’t get enough of and just ordered in a third color. I love the oversized, relaxed fit of it. Under $100 and a great one to add to your collection.

Add some fun sneakers and a woven tote bag and you look chic without losing comfort.

Add a fun pop for a shoe and you have the perfect fall outfit formula!  These @flabelus flats are the absolute best because they are really supportive and comfy right out of the box. I could walk miles in them.
