Another cozy sweater look coming your way. I’ve worn this heart sweater from Madewell so many times since I got it just a couple weeks ago. I was worried it wouldn’t fit right with the bump but I went up a size and it’s perfect.

on Crosby: t-shirt, jeans, shoes c/o

You know who wasn’t into her sweater? Crosby. Lately when she’s cold she refuses to wear a jacket or sweater… crazy kid. Sadly her sweater was from the Sarah Jessica Parker collab at GAP and is sold out. It’s such a cute statement, hopefully she’ll want to wear it again one day soon.

I still can’t believe New Years Eve is Monday. I really feel like it was just February and don’t know how the year went by so quickly. I also can’t believe we have less than 4 months before our little guy is born. I don’t want to extend my pregnancy by any means but part of me is hoping these few months go by a little slower. I still have SO MUCH TO DO.

On thing I feel ahead of the game on is his shoe closet that we’ve been stocking with Freshly Picked newborn mocs. It probably doesn’t come as a surprise since Crosby’s been wearing them ever since she could fit into them.

And speaking of, there’s an amazing sale going on over at Freshly Picked. It’s a “grab bag” sale where you can save so much by choosing a grab bag of sorts. Check it out here. Also, they have an amazing membership program where you can get better deals on everything. If you sign up use code FPxAshnFashn to get your first month free.

Some pictures from our family beach evening last week. Late afternoon/early evening is our favorite time to go lately because it’s not crowded and a lot cooler than the afternoon. I got this bathing suit from Peixoto months ago but this was surprisingly the first time I’ve worn it. It’s no longer available in black but I found it in Navy... which I might even like more. And of course, Crosby was so cute in her little Burberry suit.

She is such a beach baby and always has so much fun running around in the sand. She also loves the water and gets so excited when we’re down on the edge.

I know summer is winding down, but we’re excited for September. It will still be really warm here but the crowds will be gone, so I’m sure we’ll do more beach days. There are some great end of summer sales right now. I’m loving this bikini top I think it would be so cute with a skirt. I also love this coverup… it’s perfect for the beach or pool. PilyQ makes some of my favorite suits – I have this one in another color way but love the pink and red and at under $50, you can’t beat the price! I always love a set and this one is amazing.

We just got back from a long weekend in Napa Valley. It was our first weekend away since Crosby was born… crazy, right?! We went up for a friend’s wedding and made a long weekend out of it. We arrived Thursday morning and I changed out of my travel clothes into this cute white tassel romper.

I love an easy outfit like this and it was really perfect for our day. We started out with lunch and then went to a few wineries before we checked into our hotel and got ready for the first weekend wedding festivity. It was really hot and humid up there, but I was perfectly comfortable in this light-weight romper.

Now that it’s practically August it’s getting towards the end of summer. Although it will still be hot here until November, I know it’s not necessarily like that in other parts of the country. Sometimes dressing for the end of the season is hard. You really don’t want to buy anything new, but you’re sick of all your clothes. Or is that just me? Regardless, I still try to switch it up and do so by buying a few things late in the season. The trick is to find things that you can wear again next year.

Although this romper is a bit trendy with the tassels and cutouts, I know I’ll wear it again because it’s a good summer staple. I feel that way about a lot of rompers in my closet, as I reach for them year after year once it gets warm.

As I get older I realize how much I thrive on a schedule and I’m really looking forward to getting back on track this week. Hope you have a great one!

We just spent a fun winter-y weekend in Big Bear with friends. All last week the forecast called for lots of snow so we frantically pulled out our warmest clothes and even ordered chains for the car. Well mother nature had slightly different plans. While it wasn’t quite blizzard conditions we arrived to a teeny bit of snow and got about an inch Saturday night. Just enough to make a bunch of Orange County kids happy… and not too much that we froze.

Last week winter decided to make an appearance in Southern California, and it had been so long I’d forgotten what it was like to be cold! Out came the jackets, coats and sweaters as I tried to be as layered as possible. I had back-to-back brunches mid-week, so it was fun to get a little more dressed up than I normally do. But I’m back to basics this week as I catch up on work and prepare for a fun weekend away.
