Happy mid Summer! We had a busy start to the summer including Baby’s 1st Birthday (pics coming soon), a fun beach vacation with friends, and a crazy start to hurricane season.  Plus, this month includes so many great sales and deals including the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.  Are you shopping this year?  I missed last year since I was busy learning how to take care of a newborn, but I plan to look through the sale this weekend.

On the fashion side of things, the start of summer included lots of heat friendly dresses and shorts outfits paired with breathable tees.  I’ve rounded up some of my favorite summer outfit ideas including dresses and shorts below.

What I Wore This Winter

Happy Happy Spring Season!  Before we hit the ground running with spring fashion, I wanted to do a quick look back at what I wore this winter.  I gravitated to flowy long sleeve dresses, comfy sweaters, and cropped jeans (aka a petite gal’s best friend!).  I’ve noticed my style needs slowly changing over the years and this year is all about rebuilding the closet.  I’m looking to strategically add in basics that can be mixed, matched and worn across all seasons while also keeping up with the latest trends.  As I enter my mom season, I’m also making sure my closet includes clothes and shoes that can be worn to chase and play with a baby.  Stay tuned for a fun spring season of fashion coming up on the blog!
