Sitting Room Makeover

February 11, 2021 by ashadmin No Comments

After spending so much of the last year at home I find myself staying the rooms in my house and visualizing how I’d re-do them. One space that’s been bugging me for awhile was our den. It’s a sitting area in between our living room and dining room – the middle of our “great” room and I knew I wanted to do a little makeover on it. After we remodeled our house we purchased two chairs for that space that were kind of an impulse… they were mismatched and on major sale. We liked them at the time but have known for awhile we wanted to replace them. We also stuck an old ottoman in there as the coffee table, so the whole space just felt pieced together.

Last month I ordered these chairs for the room and set out to find a coffee table. I knew I wanted a round one in a light color – either light wood or rattan. I couldn’t find a wood one I liked, and I was worried about having too many mismatched woods between the floor and the chairs. I spotted this one and ordered it for curbside pickup.

I brought these pillows in from our living room and really love how the space has come together. It feels so much brighter and is one of my favorite places to drink coffee or take a call while the kids nap.

Next up we’re looking for a new rug – the hide is old from our last house and seems too dark for the vibe we want. Going back and forth between a jute/neutral one or something like this with a little more color.

Top 10 Items I’m Into For Fall

September 9, 2020 by ashadmin No Comments

This time of year is always a little tricky for me to dress for. It’s definitely still summer here (it will be warm until at least November), on one hand I’d love to live in swimwear and cutoffs all year, but part of me wants a little bit of fall. I’m starting to shop and incorporate a few fall-ish items into my wardrobe. Today I want to share 10 pieces to start transitioning to fall.

J. Crew Collarless Sweater Blazer – this is a new item for me and I LOVE how versatile it is. I can wear it now in the morning or evening when it’s somewhat chilly, and into cooler weather too. It looks just as good over shorts as it does over pants and comes in 4 other colors.

Leopard joggers – these are a fun larger than normal leopard print with a stripe down the sides. Can be worn to lounge, or dressed up a little with a moto or denim jacket.

Target tank – such a great staple! I ordered this tank in 4 colors and will be wearing it all year round. It’s perfect to layer under jackets or sweaters before it gets too cold and looks great on it’s own too.

Madewell sweater – I’m calling this a sweater but it’s really not. I wore it on our staycation with shorts last week and will be wearing it into fall with jeans and joggers.

Aerie oversized sweatshirt – I got this sweatshirt last year and still love it so much. It’s a big oversized and perfect to wear with biker shorts or leggings if you want a little extra coverage.

Faux leather shorts – I’ve been eying these shorts for a few weeks and might need to pull the trigger. They’re the perfect shorts to wear when it’s still warm but the calendar says fall. They’d be cute dressed up or down.

Faux leather moto jacket – I love the carmel color of this jacket but it also comes in black. A great staple to wear the rest of the year!

Felt fedora – another favorite from last year. I think this soft color is so beautiful and it goes with so many things in my closet!

Knit belted jumpsuit – I’ve had this jumpsuit for a few months now and love how practical it is. It’s comfortable enough to wear to lounge and looks pulled together to wear out and about too. You could always swap out the belt to make it a little dressier.

Long sleeve tshirt – another great layering staple. This tee comes in so many colors and is perfect to wear year round. I’d wear it now with denim shorts and later with jeans and the J. Crew sweater blazer.

Spring Style

May 2, 2019 by ashadmin No Comments

How is it already May? I have a feeling this year is going to go by even faster than any others. I’ve decided Spring is the best time to have a baby. The weather is pleasant and you still have a few months before swimsuit season. Win win. That being said, after I had Wilder I realized I needed some new clothes to get me through spring in the postpartum phase.

Maxi dresses

I love a maxi dress as much as the next person but I’m pretty picky about them. Too much material makes you look like you’re wearing a mumu. Which actually does the opposite of what you want. Here are a few I’m loving right now.

Button front clothes

top

I mentioned this in a previous post but anything with buttons in the front is genius for breastfeeding. I’m particularly loving these tops, this short sleeve top and this cute striped dress.

High-waisted jeans

OK, I’m actually not back in my favorite high-waisted jeans just yet but a girl can dream. I love this pair… maybe the item of clothing I missed the most when I was pregnant. Hopefully I’ll be back in them soon. In the meantime I’m loving these high-waisted jeans. I’ve had them forever and was even able to wear them a bit when I was pregnant (both with and without the bellyband). They’re super stretchy, flattering and just work.

Shift dresses

Another perk to buying regular clothing when you’re pregnant is that you can wear it after you have the baby too. I wore this shift dress to Crosby’s Birthday party at 36 weeks and am loving the more relaxed fit now too.

Donut Date

February 19, 2019 by ashadmin No Comments

The sun is finally shining but we’re still bundled up over here. It seems like it’s been the longest and most real winter we’ve ever had. It was like 50 degrees yesterday. Our winter clothes are getting a lot of use! I wore this faux fur BB Dakota coat all weekend… even around the house. It’s been a favorite for months, but I’m looking forward to swapping it out for something a lot lighter soon I hope. We cannot wait for warm weather!

on me: jacket c/o, henley, necklace, similar jeans (non-maternity option), shoes

on Crosby: similar bow, jacket, t-shirt, leggings, shoes 

We had a photoshoot to celebrate Crosby’s first real donut! She has an egg allergy and has only vegan donuts, but this weekend we decided to try a real one and see if she had any reaction. We only let her have a couple bites, but she didn’t get a rash or itchy like she used to. Fingers crossed that she’s over her allergy. A lot of times kids outgrow them by the time they’re two so we’ll see. I’m going to try a few more baked goods with eggs in them before her Birthday in hopes of her having a regular (not allergy free) cake this year.

How cute are Crosby’s leopard leggings?! I got them at Target last week for $5 and she’s already worn them a few times. I love her in leopard and they coordinate so well with my leopard sneakers… a designer dupe that are also a steal.

on me: jacket c/o, henley, necklace, similar jeans (non-maternity option), shoes

Hope your week is off to a good start – thank you so much for reading and following!

Pregnacy Fashion Secret Weapon

February 6, 2019 by ashadmin No Comments

Once you get to a certain point, a really hard part of pregnancy is getting dressed. I’m not the biggest fan of maternity clothes and try my hardest to wear my pre-pregnancy stuff as much as possible. Of course some things are no longer an option, like my fav high-waisted Levis with tops tucked in. But I did have a few pairs of jeans that were still (somehow) fitting… until recently. After the first of the year nothing was comfortable anymore. Enter the Bellaband. Now I can wear my favorite stretchy jeans un-zipped and un-buttoned and NO ONE has to know.

top, jeans, bellaband c/o

The Bellaband looks kind of like a bandeau bra. It goes over your pants and as high up as you want… you can fold it down to your liking. The top has a little grip, kind of like no-show socks. It smooths out the bumps where your jeans are open so no one can tell.

It comes in a few color options so it will blend in with whatever you’re wearing. I’ve been loving the black and nude the most so far.

This is totally a personal preference, but I like to wear them with shirts that are long enough to cover the bump. You can wear them so they show under a top if you want – they look like a cami so it’s no big deal.

Here are a few tops that have been working for me lately…

I got this tee last week and have already worn it at least 4 times. It’s perfectly oversized (I’m wearing a size small and it covers the bump) and only $15. I think I need at least 4 more.

This thermal button up top has been a crowd favorite for over a year. I went up a size for pregnancy and it’s working well. Bonus is that it will work great for nursing too.

I’ve heard great things about this henley and am really temped to add it to my closet. Planning to go up a size to make sure it’s long enough!

Thank you so much for reading and following  – hope you have a great day!

My Favorite Top For Fall

September 18, 2018 by ashadmin 1 Comment

Although I do like to dress up, I’m all about practical style. It just fits in with my life. When shopping I look for pieces I can wear every day while working from home and playing with an active toddler, that still work if I am out and about. Last winter I discovered this button front thermal top and since then I’ve purchased it in two more colors and consider it one of the most worn tops in my closet.

This is the original top I purchased. I got it in tan and then went back and got gray as well. It’s under $50 and comes in lots of colors. They seem to update and add colors pretty regularly and it’s been in stock at Urban for over a year.

I’m pretty sure that’s the top that started the trend. Since it was so popular other retailers took note and came out with their own versions that are just as good.

Here’s a short sleeve version that would actually be perfect for warm fall weather. This one is right around $40 and comes in three colors.

If your weather is even warmer (maybe you live in Southern California like me) but you still want to wear the waffle knit, this sleeveless version is the top for you. I’m actually adding it to my cart right now. It’s about $30 and comes in two colors.

I found a couple really similar priced a lot lower than the original version. I spotted this one on our family date to Nordstrom Rack Friday night and picked it up in black. It has a bit more of a relaxed fit, but I love it for this time of year. I actually styled it as a cardigan over the weekend and will be sharing that look soon.

And then good old Amazon came out with this version. I’m loving the printed sleeve version and think you might be seeing me in this one eventually.
