If the last four months have taught me anything fashion-wise it’s that a good wardrobe of staples goes a long way. Case in point, this $15 u-neck cotton tank top I bought back in April and can’t stop wearing. I first purchased it in gray but went back for black and white because it’s such a great basic. I’ve worn one of them at least once a week since and have continued to be happy… it’s really soft/great quality for the price. Topshop sizing can run a little small and I sized up to a US 4 for a looser fit and love the way it hangs. This tank always sells out really fast but is back in stock right now – I made sure to order a back up in white (my most worn).

At the start of 2020 who knew a face mask would be the hottest accessory of the year?! It still seems crazy, but here we are. Over the past few months I’ve gotten used to making sure I have a mask with me if I leave the house. I keep at least one in my glovebox in my car and another in my purse. Between that and washing them after each use, I’ve tried to stock up on as many as possible. Luckily my mom’s been making them to give to friends and family, so I have several she’s made. But since they’re not going anywhere for the foreseeable feature, I wanted to share the cutest and most fashionable masks I’ve seen online.

Beach Riot has 3 really cute prints; spotted, palm and tie dye. I ordered the palm print! Bonus, they match some of the bikinis and workout sets.

I’m all about animal prints and have a few different leopard print masks, but this snake print one caught my eye. It has neutral colors and would go with just about anything.

Speaking of neutral colors, I love this one. It’s called golden zebra and I think it’s so pretty!

I love this blush leopard print one and this classic leopard print one… you can never go wrong with leopard!

I’m thinking this bold floral print one will be great for fall. I love the big orange blooms!

Target has several that are priced really well and are comfortable too. They have them in kid’s sizes too.

Madewell has 3-packs for $20 in really cute prints – the black and white gingham is my favorite.

I love this one to remind everyone of what’s under the mask. 🙂

If you’re looking for something fancier or more elevated, this gold one should do the trick. It also comes in silver.

I really love this blue zebra print for summer and they come in a 2 pack so you can have a spare.

Here’s a great 3-pack of black and white neutral prints.

Thank you so much for reading and following, don’t forget to wear your mask!

I’m still holding strong onto my summer wardrobe. I feel like it’s really just beginning here so don’t expect me to dip into fall just yet. At least not until I get sick of dressing like this. 🙂  Last week in Palm Springs I wore this new Tularosa romper that’s on major sale right now. There are usually amazing sales at the end of a season and this is marked down to $35. Such a steal!

I’ve loved wearing rompers as coverups this summer. A few others I love: I wore this one in Palm Springs too (seen here), a great budget friendly option that comes in a lot of colors and can be worn with a top under too, another cute one I love and this one is a cute longer option that would also work into fall.

Also, you can’t really see it but I’m wearing another sunglasses chain here. I bought this pack before our trip and loved wearing them. It’s like another piece of jewelry that actually serves a purpose. I’m hooked.

We stayed at the Parker in Palm Springs, it’s our favorite hotel that we actually got engaged at 5 years ago on the croquet lawn pictured below! Side note, can you believe I’ve had the blog this long? I’ve actually been doing this for over 7 years now. That. Is. Crazy.

But back to The Parker, the grounds are so fun to explore… they have cute little areas all around the property and it almost feels like a secret garden. No matter how many times I go back I’m always getting lost on the pathways but I’m also always finding new hidden gems around the grounds.

Hope you had a great weekend – thank you so much for reading and following!

I feel like the majority of my content lately has been baby and kid focused. Which is honestly my life right now and it’s easy to get consumed by it sometimes. But I swear I’m still into fashion, trends and finding great deals on both! Today I want to share some things I’m loving right now.

Sunglasses chains. I think they’re so chic, I just bought this one because I’m still loving the shell trend, and then ended up getting this set too. We were in Palm Springs earlier this week and Jeff even ended up using one.

Summer dresses and rompers. I know a lot of bloggers are shifting their focus to fall but I’m still all about warm weather. I brought these two rompers (1 and 2) and these two dresses (1 and 2) to Palm Springs.

Fun crossbody bags. I’ve been on the hunt for a cute new bag to carry when I’m not with the kids. Love this white one with the gold hardware and this one is super cute too.

High waisted bikinis. Four months postpartum they’ve been really helping me feel like I have my summer body back even though I don’t. I just bought this cute yellow one.

Bracelet stack. I’ve been wanting some dainty gold bracelets to add to my collection and finally found some I love. I purchased this one, this one, this one and this one.

Native deodorant. I’ve been on a natural deodorant kick the past few years and switch between three I love. However, in the summer I feel like nothing compares to Native in the natural deodorant game. My favorite scent is Coconut & Vanilla but it was out of stock in store so I picked up Eucalyptus & Mint and have been loving it as well.

Woven bags. I purchased an off-white one last spring that I’ve gotten so much use out of. I just snagged this red one on sale and it also comes in black. I’m also loving this one and wish I had it for Palm Springs.

I’ve needed a new pair of denim shorts all summer, so I decided it was finally time to bite the bullet and get a pair. But let me just tell you, it wasn’t that simple. I tried on five different pairs in order to find the best fit and I wanted to stay under $100.

I love the Agolde Parker shorts but they’re $$$. I probably wouldn’t mind making the investment if I knew they’d fit for a long time. But my body is still shifting since having Wilder. My hips seem to slowly be shrinking… and who knows how much longer I’ll be this size. Not really worth spending money on a pair of shorts that will only fit me for one season. Plus we are on vacation this week and I knew I’d want a pair of cutoffs to wear.

Breaking down everything I tried on…

Levis – this is the pair I ended up getting. Great high-waisted fit and loved the lighter wash. Also liked that they weren’t distressed. I sized up to a 26 in them and they’re still a little snug in the thighs.

Madewell – another pair I loved and would have purchased if they had the size and wash I wanted. Again great high-waisted fit with no distressing. Comes in several washes. My normal size 25 fit in these.

Treasure & Bond – these aren’t stiff denim, they’re stretchy which is very comfortable. However I wasn’t loving the wash/distressing on this pair. And they ran big, a 25 was loose on me.

Free People – really loved the fit and wash on this pair but wasn’t crazy about the distressing. Since it was on the hem it made the shorts feel a lot shorter in the front.

Topshop – I actually own this pair from last summer. They fit really well and are comfortable… something that’s hard to come by in high-waisted denim shorts.

Hope you’re having a good week – thank you for reading and following!

We went into the weekend without many plans, but it still ended up being one of the best in awhile. We ran errands, went to our favorite outdoor malls, cleaned the house and visited another pumpkin patch with friends. This week we’re heading to the mountains with family… no Monday blues here! Hope you have a great one!

Followed by watching the carousel… her new favorite activity.

Crosby’s romper, shoes c/o

Pumpkin picking at Trader Joes

We transitioned Crosby to her convertible car seat about a month ago and she’s done really well. I was worried about the switch but she was totally un-phased. This is the Nuna Rava seat, it’s really highly rated for safety and she is so comfortable in it. We love it!

Stopped at another pumpkin patch Sunday… it was a little hotter than I anticipated…

Crosby’s romper

We’re heading out of town today and will get a real taste of fall weather. I’ve packed this cozy vest, cute tee and matching beanies from last year for Crosby and me. For Crosby I packed these jeans with the cute heart detail, t-shirts for layering (1 and 2) and cozy booties.

A few fall sweatshirt/pullovers I’m into… this cozy pullover, this thermal in peach (I already have it in sand & red) and this relaxed fitting turtle neck.

And joggers… I saw these at a store over the weekend, they’re even cuter in person, also come with a matching sweatshirt. Love the green color of this pair. This pair is under $40 and looks so cozy.

I’m in need for a new pair of fall booties. My requirements are comfortable with a low heel and can be dressed up or down. Thinking this pair is a great option… best price.
