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?!

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.

Up until recently anytime I’d see anything with one shoulder, I’d automatically flash back to some cringe-worthy trends of the early 00’s. Specifically a black top I wore with a hot pink mini skirt to a Justin Timberlake concert that made me look like a Good & Plenty candy. So when this trend came back around I was a bit hesitant at first. Then I started seeing the silhouette more and started to love how ruffles could add a billowy look, instead of the body-con way I wore it in the past.

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 🙂

Now that I’m a mom I’ve turned into a slight freak about germs. Like most new parents, anytime anyone comes over to see Crosby we make them wash their hands first. Now that she’s a few months old we’ve gone out and about quite a bit and the one thing that continues to give me peace of mind on our excursions is this cute little hand sanitizer Birdie from OLIKA. It literally goes everywhere with me and luckily it’s super cute! Not only is it a hand sanitizer but there is also a hidden pocket for wipes! I don’t know what I’d do without it.
