Everything I wore 4th of July Weekend

July 6, 2021 by ashadmin No Comments

I’m still coming off of the most fun and jam packed 4th of July weekend. It was non-stop from Friday afternoon until after the fireworks Sunday night. I posted some of the highlights on my instagram/instagram stories but had a lot of questions about outfit links. I figured it would be easiest to put them all into a post together. I love a good Americana look all summer long!

on me: pullover, jeans, sandals, sunglasses

on Wilder: sweatshirt, shorts, shoes

on Crosby: similar set, shoes

on me: swimsuit, coverup, sandals, hat, sunglasses

Cute Swimsuits for Baby Boys

May 4, 2020 by ashadmin No Comments

Another post from our backyard… when the weather’s nice we practically live out here. The kids have been loving playing in the inflatable pool and water table. A few weeks ago I realized Wilder didn’t have a swimsuit that fit currently so I went to order some. I had no idea how hard it would be to find cute swimsuits for little boys! I’m able to find Crosby cute swimsuits basically anywhere so this is a new challenge. I’ve done a deep dive on in the internet and finally found some cute options.

outfit details –

on me: saha swimsuit (two years old, this one is similar), similar hat, sunglasses

on Crosby: zara swimsuit

on Wilder: zara swimsuit (sold out, this one is similar)

inflatable pool

Ok let’s talk baby/toddler boy swimwear. The first few places I checked had really ugly options. Lots of baggy trunks that aren’t cute and would most likely weigh anyone down in the water. I had to think a little outside the box. Here are the places I’ve had the best luck:

Zara – there’s a few really cute options here. I ordered Wilder’s in a 6-12 month
(it’s completely sold out now) and when it came I didn’t think it would fit… they are very stretchy. It fits but I went ahead and ordered it in the size up and also grabbed him this pair.

Janie and Jack – some really cute options here. I love this one, this one, this one and this one.

Show Me Your Mumu – this pair is to die for. It even comes in matching prints for mom and baby girls.

Cotton On Kids – I ordered these for Wilder and love them, but I do want to mention they run big. I got Wilder a 6-12 and there’s a little extra room in the waist and they’re a bit baggier than I would have liked. I still think they’re cute and they come in a few other colors/prints too.

Monica and Andy – my friend Kim sent a photo of her son in these trunks and I knew I needed them. They’re sold out in smaller sizes but Wilder will be rocking them next summer.

Minnow – I’ve been a longtime fan of this brand for Crosby and think they suits for little boys are darling.

Hope you have a great day – thank you so much for reading and following!

Spritz & Snacks Sweaters

June 24, 2019 by ashadmin No Comments

Happy Monday! It’s the first full week of summer and it’s my birthday… both call for a celebration. Or a spritz. Speaking of… how cute are these mommy and me matching sweaters Crosby and I got from Show Me Your Mumu? They just released a match your mama line that’s beyond adorable. I want everything. 🙂

on me: sweater c/o, shorts, sunglasses

on Crosby: sweater c/o, similar shorts

Have you ever had an Aperol spritz? They’re super popular right now and I love drinking them in the summer. I use this recipe (I found it here):

1) Aperol

Only Aperol will do here. Aperol is a bright orange apéritif. The brand describes the flavors as, “zesty orange with complex herbal scents harmonized with a touch of vanilla.” Look for Aperol near the liqueurs or amaros at the liquor store.

2) Prosecco

Prosecco is an inexpensive Italian sparkling wine similar to Spanish Cava or French Champagne. I recommend choosing a dry (brut) Prosecco so you drink doesn’t turn out too syrupy or sweet. Good choices range from 12 to 18 dollars.

3) Club soda

For some fizzy dilution. Any unflavored sparkling water will work. I keep cans of sparkling water in my pantry for this purpose.

4) Slice of fresh orange

You can skip this if you don’t have it, but an orange slice is the classic garnish for an Aperol spritz.

But back to our outfits. These sweaters also come in mama and mini sayings that are just as cute. Crosby’s sweater is available in both toddler and baby sizes too. I also got Crosby and Wilder these peanut butter and jelly t-shirts. I can’t wait until he’s a little bigger and fits into it… clearly I’m obsessed with matching/coordinating.

on me: sweater c/o, shorts, sunglasses

on Crosby: sweater c/o, similar shorts

Hope you had a great weekend – cheers to Monday!

What to Wear to a Wedding When You’re Pregnant

April 8, 2019 by ashadmin No Comments

Although I didn’t attend any weddings this pregnancy, I’ve gotten quite a few questions about bump-friendly wedding guest dresses and thought it would make a fun post. I’m rounding up my favorites for everything from the casual wedding to black tie along with several bridesmaids options thrown in as well.

Casual:

If you’re going to a daytime wedding I think Pink Blush has some really pretty options. This one being at the top of my list, so pretty for a spring or summer outdoor casual wedding.

This dress comes in so many colors and could easily be dressed up or down.

This dress is SO flattering, it has 5 color options and is under $70.

A really pretty casual maxi. Love the color and think the fit would be perfect with a bump.

Wrap dresses work well with a smaller bump. Love this one that comes in several prints.

Cocktail:

Such a pretty dress for a spring or summer wedding. The pleats would be so flattering with a bump!

Love this dress that comes in 6 colors (obviously avoid the beige).

A pretty pink dress you could really twirl in… on sale for $24!

Loving this lavender dress for spring and summer weddings.

This maxi dress would be pretty for a summer wedding.

Formal:

I typically don’t love printed dresses for formal options, but this red one is sooo pretty. Throw on some strappy heels and you’re good to go!

This dress would be stunning for a formal wedding and it’s under $60!

I love this beaded kimono option and the color is so pretty.

Loving this sage green lace dress.

Bridesmaid (lots of these would also work for formal):

This one is so pretty and would work with various stages of the bump.

Another neutral colored dress if you’re looking for something a little shorter.

I think this one would be really pretty if you’re wanting green.

A super glam option with lots of color options.

A pretty gray option that can be tied multiple ways.

This one is sooo pretty and it also comes in blush.

Loving this high-neck maxi – color is really pretty too!

Such a sweet option – I love the sleeves and ruffles.

Not maternity but I think this one would be really flattering with a bump. I would go up a size.

This one would also be really pretty if you’re looking for a floral print.

Thanks for reading – hope you have a great day!

Floal High-Waisted Bikini + Nordstrom Gift Card GIVEAWAY

July 11, 2018 by ashadmin No Comments

sunglasses, bikini top c/o, bikni bottoms c/o

Another day, another bikini. 🙂 We’re currently in the midst of a heatwave so it only seems apropiate to keep riding this wave. Over the past couple of seasons I’ve started getting into high-waisted bikinis. I got this one at an event a couple of months ago and tucked it away for our Palm Springs trip. The bright floral print is so fun, it’s from Show Me Your Mumu’s Barbie collection – which I couldn’t love more.

Another great thing about a high-waisted bikni is it sucks you in in all the right places. I especially love the belt on this one that you can adjust to however tight you’d like it. The top is really cute too with it’s off-the-shoulder ruffle. I even wore it with a pair of denim shorts as a crop top one night. I love anything that can be worn multiple ways.

You’re probably aware the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is starting tomorrow for card holders. If you’re active on Instagram you will be inundated with coverage for the next several weeks. It’s a great sale to stock up on basics or items that aren’t normally discounted. However, it’s really easy to get burnt out on because everyone seems to post about it non-stop.

I promise to keep my coverage moderate – and I’d like to mostly share items that can be worn now…. I don’t know about you but the last thing I’m thinking of when it’s 100 degrees are fall sweaters and boots.

I’ve partnered with some other bloggers to giveaway a $500 Nordstrom gift card to celebrate the launch of the sale. Scroll down to the bottom of this post for details on how to enter. 🙂

June 7, 2018 by ashadmin No Comments

Last week I got to sneak away to a fun dinner at Pacific Edge Hotel with Show Me Your Mumu. I’ve always loved this brand – they’re LA based and have the most fun bright prints. I knew I had to take this dress home with me.
