This isn’t the first time I lusted after star sandals. A few years ago I first came across this pair of Loeffler Randall sandals and was smitten. I loved the star details and ankle wraps, but couldn’t justify the price at the time. The following year I bought a star and tassel pair somewhat impulsively from a Shopbop sale, but admittedly I haven’t gotten much use from them. Unlike the gold star pair, they’re multi-colored and LOUD (seen here). This year I was wanting a  more versatile pair and I found several to share at every price point!

This is the pair I decided on. I plan on wearing them on my Birthday Saturday and again for the 4th of July! This pair is also priced great and comes in three colors. And if I’d seen this pair first, I probably would have bought them because they’re less than $25! However, I still think this pair is so pretty but they’re obviously priced higher.

Which is your favorite?!

Summer has always been my favorite season, there are just so many fun things to celebrate! I also love how my personal style is a bit more low maintenance when it’s hot. I kind of give my hair and skin a breather by spending less time heat styling and putting on much makeup and embrace a more natural look. The same holds true style-wise too and I wanted to share my go-to summer wardrobe staples. Each of these pieces can be mixed and matched and styled in so many different ways. This would also be a great packing outline if you’re heading out of town in the summer months!

When I was pregnant one of the questions I was asked the most was if I was going to nurse my baby. I always answered, of course, what could be so hard?! I was so naive then. HA! Nothing prepared me for how hard breast feeding was. It’s really a full time job between learning how, getting the baby to latch and how often you have to do it, especially at first. Now that I’m three months in I feel like I’m finally starting to get it.

We’re in the thick of June Gloom over here, I don’t think I’ve seen the sun in at least a week. Crosby and I are starting to get a little antsy… home girl wants to wear her newborn size summer clothes before she grows out of them! And do you know how hard it is to find sweaters or jackets to fit a newborn? Impossible! But baby aside, I’m starting to look ahead for new pieces to wear this summer. Plus my Birthday is coming up in a couple weeks 🙂

In our house we consider the start of summer Memorial Day, but the official start to summer is just a couple of weeks away! I know I’ll be spending a lot of time at the beach and pool and wanted to share my favorite swimwear for the upcoming months. There’s such a huge variety these days so I’m breaking down my top 3 favorite styles below.

ray-ban aviators, kingdom and state top and bottoms c/o, cotton on towel, misa los angeles straw tote

top, shorts

My favorite thing to wear when it’s hot outside is a pair of denim shorts. They’re so versatile and I live in them all summer long. It’s been pretty warm lately and I’ve loved bringing them back out. The weekend before I had Crosby we had a major heat wave and I was so upset none of my shorts fit me. Since I wasn’t noticeably pregnant in the summer I didn’t have to invest in any maternity shorts. But after I had her I was so excited to get back into them and haven’t really wanted to take them off since!
