I’m all about convenience these days… going out with a newborn + a toddler and dealing with getting in and out of the stroller, car seats, carts, etc is a big ordeal. I save that for when I want to get us out of the house, more than when we actually need something. Which brings me to Amazon. What did we do without Amazon!? It’s a magical place where you can find everything under the sun and convince yourself you need it because your payment info is already saved and hello two-day shipping if you have Prime. Today I thought I’d share some of my recent Amazon purchases.

Layered shel necklace – I’m very into the shell jewelry trend this summer. I already have a few pieces but I found this fun multi-strand necklace that’s only $7.99 and immediately added it to my cart. It’ll arrive by 8 pm tonight.

Shell choker – Another shell piece I love. I ordered this one when I was pregnant but knew it would better after baby. Pregnancy and chokers don’t really go together… especially when your face is puffy. Love it for summer!

Button down dress – I’ve seen different versions of this dress on a handful of people and love the shape and practically of it. Buttons on clothes for nursing is the best. It comes in a bunch of colors/patterns, but I decided on the yellow. It’s so fun for summer!

Clear bag – This is a dupe of a much more expensive bag, but it’s super trendy. And for pieces this trendy I always look for a cheaper option. I doubt I’m going to be into clear bags for that long but right now I’m loving it. I often wish I could carry it more but it wouldn’t quite work as a diaper bag.

Palm Leaf Coverup – I’ve actually had this for awhile but want to share if you’re looking for a fun summer coverup. It’s perfect over bathing suits but it can be really chic over an all white outfit too.

Heart sunglasses – A frivolous purchase that I’ve surprisingly gotten a lot of wear out of.

Toddler romper – Crosby has this romper in Marigold and it is beyond adorable on her. Every time she wears it people stop and ask where it’s from. Less than $15 and comes in a bunch of colors. I think she needs it in lilac too.

Golden Goose dupes – Another toddler item that I’ve talked about before, but we still love these sneakers. Crosby has three pairs that have been through the trenches… literally. They’re easy to clean and have held up so well.

Spring is my favorite season overall and to dress for. There’s just something so refreshing about spring clothing… especially after the long winter that we had this year. I’m not currently buying a lot of spring clothing just yet (because 9 months pregnant), but I’m definitely doing a fair amount of browsing and picking up things I know will work now and in a couple months (ie bags, hats and shoes). I wanted to share what’s on my spring radar.

Shell jewelry: I’ve been loving seeing this throw back trend popping up again. I just got this shell choker form amazon and want a bracelet or anklet too. So fun for spring and summer!

Clear tote bags: Another fun trend for spring are clear tote bags like this one. I first spotted it on Shopbop but found an amazing dupe on amazon for a fraction of the cost.

Macrame: Always hot this time of year. I picked up this bag on a recent trip to F21 and have already used it a hand full of times.

Hats: Again, always a favorite during the warmer months. Some new additions to my closet this year are this hat – didn’t have anything like it color-wise in my closet and know I’ll wear it a ton. It also comes in honey. and this black hat from F21. Both are under $50 and great spring/summer staples that will sell out.

What I’m looking forward to wearing again post baby…

High waisted denim: Both shorts and jeans. These shorts have been on my radar the past couple of years and I’m thinking of finally pulling the trigger on them this year. Of course, I need to wait until after I have the baby and see what size I’m wearing before I order, but I know they’ll be a great staple. I’m also dying to get back into my Levi’s. I have this pair in 2 sizes so hopefully I’ll be able to wear the bigger one first and then transition back into the smaller pair.

I wanted to do a quick post today to share some of my recent fall outfits. I’m kind of starting to dress more for fall and that’s reflected mostly by the colors I’ve been wearing. Darker hues with some pops. I’m loving mustard or marigold… whatever you want to call it.

We wore these outfits out to dinner last week and had to snap a pic. My top is so soft and I love the color. Crosby was especially cute in her matching set.

I wore this dress to Jeff’s high school reunion over the weekend. I was at a loss for what to wear before I got it in the mail. Once I tried it on I knew it would be perfect.

Here’s another view straight on. You can wear it a different way by tying the neck tie around your neck, but I prefer it hanging.

It’s still a battle to keep anything on the coffee table with a toddler, but I’m trying! These coasters get thrown around the room when she’s playing, but since they’re leather it’s not really a problem.

I’ve been loving this top, seen above with shorts and below with jeans. It’s absolutely perfect for fall and super flattering.

I’m always a fan of duster cardigans. Love that this one is light weight and a great neutral. It goes with so many things in my closet.

Some of my favorite clothes for Crosby have come from Amazon. AND they’re the ones I’m asked about over and over – especially when I post them to IG and IG stories.

Happy Monday!  Starting the week with a little instagram roundup. It’s been awhile since I did a post like this, but wanted to share in case you haven’t seen a few of my favorite posts from May.

As always, I’m including all the links below the images.
