Everlane Faves
Hi there, friends! Postpartum momma searching for clothes that fit her body right NOW and make her feel great when going on nights of little sleep and full/crazy days. Can anyone relate? Regardless if you’re postpartum or not, Everlane has become one of my favorite stores to shop for beautifully made basics for any stage of life. They are also a company focused on making ethical clothing at affordable prices – which is something I can totally get behind! As … Read More
Summer Clean Beauty Round-Up
Dew Skin Tinted Moisturizer // This is a must-have year-round in my book, but especially so in the summer months! I appreciate the SPF 20 protection it provides along with lightweight coverage to make your skin look flawless but feels like you’re not wearing any makeup at all. Cote Nail Polish // My husband treated me to some new Cote nail polish for Mother’s Day! Cote is a clean polish line that is formulated without the major toxins found in … Read More
Mother’s Day Gift Guide
Hi Friends! I can’t believe Mother’s Day is right around the corner. Crazy right? I feel like it’s snuck right up on me – paired with the fact that Collins’s birthday is ON Mother’s Day this year and we are getting ready for Iceland, I’m helping run a preschool fundraiser the six days leading up to our trip and getting ready to spend this coming weekend with my Beautycounter team leaders on our yearly incentive trip. Whew! So, I haven’t … Read More
Favorite (Comfy!) Shoes Round-Up
About a year ago I came to a major realization: I needed more shoes. I know many women joke about having too many shoes, but I was in the opposite camp, sticking with the same very small rotation of shoes day in and day out. It wasn’t until I was getting ready for a Beautycounter trip last year that I noticed how lacking my shoe selection was. Over the last year I’ve tested a lot of different shoes. Since we … Read More
First 20 Weeks Pregnancy Clothing Favorites
Lounge Wear GapFit Seamless Low Support Plunge Sports Bra // These are THE best bras. They are comfortable enough to sleep in, wear around the house and for low impact exercise. I can totally see myself using these for nursing bras, too, down the road. Gap Vintage Soft Maternity Pullover Sweatshirt // So comfortable/cute and doesn’t look like maternity. I’ve been wearing this for weeks now! Gap Pure Body Modal Joggers // I’ve owned these for years and LOVE them … Read More
Comprehensive Maternity Jeans Review
OVERALL WINNER Seven for All Mankind – High Rise Maternity Jeans $189BUY THESE JEANS! Oh my gosh, these are the maternity jeans of my dreams. They fit true to size, and are incredibly comfortable. Not in the “feel like leggings” way that some jeans feel, which I actually don’t like because those same jeans usually stretch out, but in the sense that they have both stretch and structure. I was skeptical of the side panels but what makes these so … Read More
My Makeup Routine Lately
You all already know this, but I’m a makeup minimalist at heart. As a work at home momma, I hardly go anywhere beyond the coffee shop, my home office and play dates with friends, errands with the girls and the occasional trip to Target. All that said, I don’t really have a huge need for a lot of makeup on a daily basis, but I DO like to look and feel put-together even if I’m just lounging around the house … Read More
Palm Beach Outfit Recap
Hi friends! I’m back from a trip to Palm Beach last weekend with Beautycounter. While my everyday life is rarely glamorous and the only reason I have to regularly get dressed up is going to Church on Sundays, Beautycounter trips give me an opportunity to pull out some dresses and clothes I wouldn’t otherwise wear! I got asked to recap where I got everything I wore, so here you go. A full run-down of the outfits I wore and where … Read More
Favorite Finds Lately // Fancy Edition
Hi friends! I’ve been doing a little shopping for my upcoming work trips (Palm Beach, LA and Phoenix!) and, per usual, I’ve had to find a few pieces that are out of my typical scope of workout clothing and jeans + tops. Although it’s a big departure from my everyday life, I love getting the opportunity to dress up for events like this and then promptly return to my regular wardrobe of jeans and flats and, let’s be honest, puffer … Read More
Favorite Finds Lately
Happy Friday, friends! It’s been another crazy week around these parts. Maybe I should stop saying that and just accept that it’s always a crazy week in this stage of life? But regardless, I’m thankful to have arrived at Friday in one piece and with some fun weekend plans on the books to boot. Lately I’ve been doing a bit of a closet refresh, trying to hone in on my personal style and keep myself from falling into a slump. … Read More
Must-Have Bargain Coat
Last weekend while we were in Kansas City visiting family. I popped into Old Navy. Is it just me or has Old Navy been absolutely killing it lately? I’m the first to admit that not everything from Old Navy is a runaway hit in terms of quality, but sometimes you find a total gem at a steal of a price and this coat is one such instance. I actually snagged it at 50% off the already reasonable price it was … Read More
