Having spent the majority of the past five months at home we’ve really had time to think about what areas I want to change/improve. We bought our house almost five years ago and did a lot of remodeling right off the bat, however our budget was only so big… and then we started having kids and everything remodeling took a backseat. We are about to dive back in and I couldn’t be more excited to finally get some of these things crossed off our ever growing list.

Wardrobe wise, I have a rotation of brands I know and love but they’ve been feeling a little stale. Lately I’ve been trying to mix up my wardrobe and find some new brands/designers to add to the mix. My newest brand discovery is Heartloom – I received a few pieces over the weekend and was instantly obsessed. Everything is really well made and unique. I wanted to share my favorites.

It’s that time of year… the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. Whether you love shopping it or hate hearing about it, there are always great deals included in the sale. But it can be extremely overwhelming combing through the thousands of items listed. Today I wanted to post about all my tried and true items that are all on sale and likely to sell out fast. Most of these items I’ve had and loved for years and stand behind 100%.

It’s crazy unbelievable that it’s already the beginning of August. Although we’ve spent the majority of the last 4 months at home, they’ve still gone by at lightening speed. I know the rest of the year will follow suit. Today I’m sharing my top 5 sellers from the month of July.

So happy to finally share Crosby’s beachy mermaid big girl room! This project has been a long time coming and it makes me so happy to finally have it completed.

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.

A few months back, while deep in quarantine, I was searching for alternatives for biker shorts and cutoffs to wear day to day. I came across this linen pair and immediately ordered them. I am a big fan of linen anything, especially in the summer! They’re super comfortable and extremely versatile – I wear them at least once a week. Today I wanted to share several different ways I love wearing them.

A few weeks back I did a post on Wilder’s current favorites and had a few requests for what Crosby is currently into. She’s three now… almost three and a half and has spent most of the last four months at home. She’s become the best little independent player and has the most active imagination. She’s 100% girl and her number one obsession right now are baby dolls… caring for them and everything that comes with it. She also refuses to wear anything other than a dress which sometimes makes me want to pull my hair out.

Late last week we (Jeff and his dad) finally got the wallpaper up in Crosby’s room! I’ve had the wallpaper for months and was waiting until we had a few things repaired in the room before it could be hung. It completely transforms the room that was so plain before – now, we’re just waiting on a mattress before we do the full “big girl” room transformation. Now that her walls are done I realized we have wallpaper in 3 different rooms in our house and wanted to do a post with the breakdown.
