Happy Saturday! Today I thought it would be fun to share some recent purchases. The first three are from Aritzia, one of my favorite stores in Toronto. I believe they have several stores in the U.S. now (including one in Dallas), but they also offer shipping in the U.S. now so if you haven't shopped there before, I highly recommend it. In fact, my ...
Black on Black (on Black)
An all-black ensemble is a go-to for me. In fact, I used to wear so much black that is was kind of an issue, ha. On Wednesday, I paired a simple black tee with an inexpensive boyfriend cardigan and a leopard-textured pencil skirt from Ann Taylor that I've owned for years. tee- target | skirt- ann taylor (similar) ...
Oh Baby! Target Updates up & up Baby Line
A few weeks ago, I shared some of my favorite items from Target's up & up line, which I've been using for a couple of years now. I learned recently that up & up was launching a newly-updated line of baby products. I have already been so pleased with the quality of their other personal care products that I was excited to be able to test ...
Think Pink!
Happy Monday! Thank you to everyone who joined the 14-day plank challenge! Today was day one and I'm already seeing lots of check-ins on Facebook and Instagram. Thanks to Marion for hosting! Today I looked into my closet and selected my beloved j.crew no. 2 pencil skirt in the hot pink color and paired it with a simple black and white micro stripe ...
Our Weekend + Recent Buys + 14-Day Plank Challenge
Today was a really fun day. I woke up feeling a little anxious because I wasn't sure if Harper would be in pain or really bruised, but her upper lip area actually looked way better than the day before and though the swelling was still present on the inside of her upper lip, but the outside looked good, considering how hard the fall was. We ended ...
Why You Should Take Your Baby or Toddler to a Pediatric Dentist
Today was one of those days that every parent fears. We had just gotten home from playing at the park and it was right before lunch time. I was walking up our wood stairs carrying Harper (with her back to me) and I tripped and fell forward. I tried my hardest to protect her as we lunged forward, but it all happened so fast and her face hit ...
Watching My Baby Grow and Learning to Let Go
I’ve said it a thousand times, but each and every month of Harper’s life, I find myself saying “this is the best age ever!” I think it’s natural to enjoy watching your baby go from a tiny, chunky infant who does tummy time on a mat to a growing, running-all-over-the-place toddler who can communicate with you. Becoming a mother is like the ...
Sweater Weather
It was nice and cool this morning so I broke out my first sweater of the season! It's a recent buy from LOFT and I adore it. It has three different textures and the back is a little longer which is a nice touch. I paired it with slim pants and a long necklace. Just wanted to keep it simple today. sweater- LOFT | pants- banana ...
A Spotted Dress
Alert! Alert! It was in the 60's in Houston this morning, hallelujah! Cold front, I hope you're here to stay. I wore my LOFT leopard print dress today. This is the one that I ordered in three sizes before I finally got one that fit. This dress fits large, so size down. I can only wear it with flats or tights, but that's alright. I ended up ...
Stripes On Monday
Happy Monday! I'm blogging a little later into the night because I took a bootcamp class tonight. I had purchased a two-month membership at The Bar Method (on Gilt City!) a few months ago and I was going pretty consistently on weekends (and absolutely love the classes), but the studio unfortunatley didn't have any class times during the work week ...
