Group Halloween Costume – Beanie Babies

October 28, 2019 by ashadmin No Comments

Happy Halloween week! Today I’m sharing our family halloween costume… beanie babies! You can really do this with any animal and it’s a great group costume beacause there’s something for everyone. They can be as simple or elaborate as you want. This was such an easy DIY – I used felt to make the tags. It took me 20 minutes to make five and cost about $10.

on me: ears, sweater, jeans

on Crosby:  tutu, wings

on Wilder: frog costume

on Jeff: similar elephant costume

A few months ago I started thinking about a cute family costume and thought I’d have another year before Crosby had a big say in her costume. I was wrong! As soon as I explained Halloween to her and told her she could dress up as anything she wanted she decided she wanted to be a butterfly… and she wanted Wilder to be a frog. I was so proud of her for understanding the concept and coming up with the ideas. I ordered both of their costumes on Amazon.

I was still trying to think how I could tie them together and then the idea for our family beanie baby costume came to me.

I searched for authentic looking beanie baby tags but everything I found was really expensive. I stumbled across these on Amazon and knew I could make them myself with felt. Like I said, it was a super easy process and all five tags ended up costing less than one on Amazon.

In true toddler form, Crosby saw me with the cat ears and whiskers and said she wanted to be a cat and then refused to put her wings on. A few hours later she told me she now wants to be a mermaid for Halloween. #toddlers

Everyday Jewelry + a Discount Code

October 23, 2019 by ashadmin No Comments

My favorite way to dress up an otherwise basic outfit is by layering jewelry. I’ve collected a lot of favorites over the past few years and love wearing them in different ways and mixing and matching to make the most out of them.

I’m also excited to share a special discount code with you for 20% off all Gorjana pieces – ASHLEY20 – and it’s valid until 11/16/19.

Necklaces:

Ana Coin Pendant Necklace – the longer length makes it the perfect piece for layering. Perfect for everyday life.

Super Star Necklace – I’ve worn this one for over a year. It’s as dainty and pretty on it’s own as it is layered in with more.

Luna Coin Necklace – this is my current “everyday” necklace. Love the coin look with the moon and stars. It’s the perfect in between length to layer with shorter and longer necklaces.

Eloise Gem Necklace – another good one that’s the in between length. I have it in the black labradorite stone and it’s so beautiful and different from my other necklaces.

Cayne Crescent Pendant Necklace – this was one of my OG Gorjana pieces. A great everyday pendant… it seriously mixes and matches well with everything.

Bracelets:

Super Star Bracelet – so pretty and dainty. I love wearing this one on it’s own too.

Gypset Delicate Bracelet – such a great bracelet for the $30 price tag. Really pretty layered with other bracelets and it’s easy to take on and off because it’s elastic.

Chloe Small Bracelet – another adjustable bracelet I love and think looks beautiful layered with others.

Parker Bracelet – I love the size and links in this one. So different from my others and adds a fun twist to my stack. I leave this one on all the time and it hasn’t tarnished at all.

Earrings:

Shimmer Huggies – I’ve loved the huggie trend and these are a great pair for the price. I’ve worn them a ton and they’ve held up, they’re comfortable to sleep in too.

Balboa Shimmer Small Drop Studs – the current pair on my ears that I haven’t taken off in over a week. They’re light weight and comfortable enough for everyday, but are beautiful to dress up an outfit too.

Rings:

Amara Ring Set – Love wearing them stacked for more of a cocktail ring look, or on their own for a more dainty feel.

Mama & Babe Matching Denim Jackets

October 14, 2019 by ashadmin No Comments

I have been dying for the three of us to wear these denim jackets since I got them last winter. Now that Wilder is here and fits into his, Big Bear was the perfect place for us to debut them! Well kinda, since Crosby and I have already worn our a ton. Wilder was so cute in his… there’s just something about a baby in grown up clothes that’s really adorable.

on me: sunglasses, sunglasses chain, t-shirt, denim jacket c/o, jeans, similar booties

on Wilder: beanie, onesie, denim jacket c/o, pants, shoes c/o

on Crosby: denim jacket c/o, t-shirt, leggings, similar boots

It was mostly in the 60’s in Big Bear during the day with cooler mornings and nights, but I packed like we were going to legit fall. I got Wilder a bunch of new beanies and made sure the kids were both pretty bundled up. The first day we went and walked around town and about melted before I looked at the temperature… I’m sure it was obvious that we were from out of town.

I can’t believe we’re already halfway through October. I need to finish getting a few things for the kids Halloween costumes and then we’ll be all set. Last month I explained Halloween and trick or treating to Crosby and told her she could dress up like anything she wanted. I really didn’t know if she would understand the concept and thought I probably had another year of picking a costume for her. About two hours after I explained everything she came running up to me and told me what she wants to dress up as. She even decided on a costume for Wilder.

on me: sunglasses, sunglasses chain, t-shirt, denim jacket c/o, jeans, similar booties

on Wilder: beanie, onesie, denim jacket c/o, pants, shoes c/o

on Crosby: denim jacket c/o, t-shirt, leggings, similar boots

Hope you have a great start to the week – thank you so much for reading and following!

Sister Brother Matching Outfits

October 3, 2019 by ashadmin No Comments

It’s pumpkin patch season! We kicked it off by visiting one of our favorite pumpkin patches last weekend. Look at how little Crosby was at the same pumpkin patch exactly a year ago! And Wilder was probably the size of a strawberry. So crazy how time flies.

on me: similar hat, dress c/o, similar shoes (here and here), name necklace, moon necklace, sunglasses, sunglasses chain, baby carrier c/o

on Wilder: similar outfit, shoes c/o

on Crosby: similar bow, similar dress, similar shoes

I was so excited that the kids fit into these matching outfits. So was Crosby, she’s currently obsessed with matching with Wilder. Their outfits are from Miles Baby and they have some other really cute matching things for sisters and brothers… or whoever!

My dress was a little much for a pumpkin patch, but I had just gotten it and really wanted to wear it. I think it will be really cute dressed up a little more with either booties or knee high boots and a suede jacket.

We’re heading to Big Bear today and while we’re excited to get away, it’s always a bit of a gamble traveling with kids. This will be our first trip since Crosby started climbing out of her crib… no more pack ‘n’ play. We borrowed this tot cot from my parents. Fingers crossed she actually sleeps. I’m not worried about Wilder. He’s at the best age for travel. We brought Crosby to Big Bear for the first time when she was just a little older and she was a dream. We’ll bring this travel bassinet/crib for him to sleep in.

My Favorite Items From The Shopbop Sale

September 26, 2019 by ashadmin No Comments

Shopbop is one of my favorite sites to buy clothes. They’re incredibly user friendly and if you have a Prime account you get free shipping/don’t have to enter your info in. Is there anything more annoying than stopping to get your credit card while shopping online? I’ve definitely exited out of a website because I didn’t want to have to go get it. #lazy So I really appreciate when places make it easier.

ANYWAY, there’s a big sale currently happening over at Shopbop and honestly the best time to shop there are the sales.

20% off orders under $500 + 25% off orders over $500 with code STOCKUP19. ends on 9/28 (Sunday)

I wanted to share a roundup of some items I personally own that are included in the sale.

Fall Dresses I Love

September 17, 2019 by ashadmin 1 Comment

Over the weekend Crosby turned two and a half and we celebrated with donuts and coffee at the beach. Does anyone else celebrate half birthdays? She’s obsessed with birthdays right now but doesn’t quite get what a half birthday is. Ha!

on me: similar hat, sunglasses chain (comes in an 8 pack), sunglasses, dress c/o, similar sandals here and here

on Crosby: dress c/o (similar, similar), sandals c/o

I got this dress in the mail last week and thought it would be perfect for a fall wedding. I currently have zero on my calendar so I took it as an excuse to dress up for our outing. Crosby has had this adorable dress from Loveshackfancy just burning a whole in her closet for over a year now. It finally almost fits so she wore it for the half bday celebration. It’s definitely a dress she will be able to wear for awhile since it’s so long. She has another one that’s white and sleeveless that will be just as cute.

Wanted to share a few other dresses I’m loving for fall weddings or special occasions.

  • This one is perfect for a night time event. Would even work into the holiday season.
  • Love this long sleeved mini. Prettiest colors for fall!
  • Love this red leopard print. Would be so cute for an evening event.
  • I tried this one on over the summer and was obsessed with the fit. It comes in several colors appropriate for wedding guests and would be pretty for the holidays too.
  • If you’re looking for lace, I love this one for fall/winter.
