We're taking family photos next week and I'm so excited. We haven't taken photos of the four of us with a photographer in over a year and it's crazy how much bigger the kids are now. Wilder looks like a completely different baby. It might be the former stylist in me, but I enjoy picking out our family outfits for the photos. I wanted to share some tips if you're taking family photos soon.
Calendar wise the end of August is typically the end of summer, but in southern California (and several other places), summer is just heating up. We will have really hot days until at least Halloween and this year I really want to soak them up at the beach as much as possible. Usually by September the crowds are a lot smaller and the beach is easier to do. Fingers crossed that's still true for this wacky year.
I'm a big sucker for matching outfits, especially brother sister matching outfits. I really don't think there's much cuter than matching siblings and I'm trying to take advantage while they're little and I still have semi-control (Crosby will only wear dresses so as long as her's is a dress I'm good). I wanted to share my favorite place to find their matching outfits!
At this point in quarantine the highlight to our days is time spent outside. The kids and I (and sometimes Jeff) have been taking two long walks around the neighborhood every day and spending as much time playing in the back yard as possible.

A few weeks ago I was searching for something on amazon and came across the most adorable sweatshirt for Crosby. It's only $14 so I had no idea what the quality would be like but was pleasantly surprised when it came in the mail. I had just received this thermal top and knew they'd but cute to wear together. Coordinating without being too matchy matchy.

This time of year I really start to crave spring and warmer weather. I absolutely love when stores start bringing out their spring merchandise and always feel like that means it's just around the corner. I've been doing a lot of browsing lately and want to share what's on my radar.
I'm Ashley, a professional stylist, wife, and new mom, sharing my love of fashion, beauty, home decor, travel, and life in sunny Southern California!
