It's not even close to the "last days of summer" here in Houston where the heat and humidity continue to be bountiful. I'm more ready for fall than I ever have been. Alas, mother nature probably won't grant us cooler temps until October, so I'm still wearing some of my favorite breezier summer dresses. This one, from Lulu's, has a beautiful ...
Mommy + Baby in Boden
I heard about the UK-based brand Boden on a style and beauty forum I'm a member of. I checked out the site about a year ago and loved the fresh, classic styles. So when Boden approached me about showcasing a mommy+baby fall look, I was delighted to pick out an outfit for Harper and me. I love that Boden has a baby line too! Don't ...

Harper: Three Months Old
Last month, I said that time was passing by too quickly and I still feel the same way. I can't believe Harper is three months old.

She is definitely chunking up nicely ...
