I have been on a red kick lately. It’s quickly becoming my new favorite statement color. When I saw this top (UNDER $100) and this skirt (UNDER $100) it was love at first sight! I love bold reds and can’t get over the statement ruffle detail on the skirt. I also found this amazing floral bandana (under $20) and I’ve been wearing it non-stop – around my neck, tied onto my bag, and my new favorite – tied around the ankle! It’s such a fresh way to wear a neck scarf or bandana and makes any look read more editorial, either as a bold pop of color with a neutral outfit or to complete a monochromatic outfit.

Happy Memorial Day! We are up in Sun Valley for the long weekend with Cody’s family. Love coming up here with them, it’s a yearly tradition! He’s been coming since he was a baby. I wore this outfit for the road trip up. This USA tee is one of my favorites (although let’s be honest, I’ll probably say that about all of our ILY graphics I just get really excited to design new pieces). I love the striped sleeves for a vintage varsity feel and it’s a simple tee you can wear with anything.
I loved this shoot so much! It was so impromptu, I had on zero make up and just ran through the fields. I’m pretty sure these are actually weeds lol, but they looked so pretty! 🙂
We are running 20% off new apparel and our graphic tops at ILY (through midnight only!!) which include our new launch of Americana pieces. Add code: MEMORIAL at check out for 20% off. Below are a few more of my favorite pieces from the sale.
I always get so excited for Nordstrom’s yearly sales and wanted to share some of my finds! I’m a sucker for all things pink! These pretty distressed shorts are a must for this summer and I love this one-shouldered sweatshirt (both under $50). It’s the best of both worlds during this transition between seasons. Also how pretty is this floral kimono! Layers add so much to an outfit, so I love this one that’s so lightweight and perfect for summer.
Stripes never get old! I found this satin striped top on sale and was obsessed – it’s so soft and a great piece you can work into your office wardrobe or knot and wear with your favorite boyfriend shorts this summer.
Love love love the ruffle detailing on this sweatshirt! I could live in cozy tees and sweatshirts, so I love finding ones that have a cool detail to make it stand out. And how good is this shade of blush?
Swimwear is probably one of my biggest weaknesses. I could have more than enough swimsuits and cover ups, and still have to one when I find another I love. Tell me I’m not the only one! I love this crochet one under $100 and love the side tie detail on this cover up (under $50!)
We are heading out of town for the long weekend and I always end up living in sportswear when we are on the road. Love the graphic stripes on these leggings and this zip-up hoodie is beyond comfortable. Cody’s favorite is when I am in casual activewear 🙂
Ok this top isn’t on sale but it is still a great price point I had to add it :)! I can’t get enough of gingham right now and I love the ruffled sleeves.
You can shop more of my sale favorites below!
And hope those of you in the US have a fun (and safe!) Memorial Day weekend! Much love!
My favorite: Airport style! Who else is obsessed with all the 90’s throwback logo tees right now? Cody got this GUESS tee (under $50) last weekend and I stole it for my trip. A) I love a good oversized boyfriend tee and B) it’s pink so obviously he had to know I would steal it from time to time 🙂 It is definitely oversized, so to give it a little more shape, I rolled up the sleeves, knotted the bottom and paired it with these high-waisted jeans (under $100).
Cody took off for a guys trip earlier this week so I headed to Boise (where I went to college for a little bit) to hang out with my best friend Jen. We got pregnant with in a couple months of each other so our kids are so close in age!! It’s so fun to watch them play together. We are secretly trying to predestine their marriage as much as possible!
Jen’s husband was on kid duty one night and we snuck away to din and stopped by her bosses campaign event (Her boss is running for Governor of Idaho). They have a great team and it was fun to see all the behind the scenes. I got tons of questions on this top (under $100). You guys know how obsessed I am with stripes, and I love the updated twist on the classic print with the statement ruffle details. (Love the pocket!) It’s the perfect piece to pair with jeans and sandals for an easy look that still makes an impact.
So obsessed with our new USA tee! I designed this tee for our America collection 🙂
B is seriously at my favorite age right now! He went up to Jen the day we were leaving and said. “How’s your day? You heading to work? I’m going home to see my Dad” He always asks about how people’s day is. How I’m feelings. He is seriously such a sweet boy. I love having this one on one time with him, but we always get excited to get home and see Cody and the kiddos.
Here are a few more logo tees I’m loving:
And some statement striped pieces to brighten up your wardrobe:
And lastly I’m so excited for the Nordstrom Half Yearly Sale! I’m going in-store today so try things on, but here are some of the pieces I have my eye on:

Daily Style Diary: May 18th 2017
I’ve been on an earring kick lately. I feel like these are the perfect pop in an outfit. I love the coral contrast paired with this olive blazer.
Obsessed with these shoes under $50! My friend Whitney had a similar pair from Zara that was sold out so I was so excited when I found these under $50!
Happy Monday guys! How was your weekend? I was feeling kind of uninspired last month with clothes and then this month I feel like there are so many great buys and cute pieces!
These jeans are one of my favorite recent buys – you saw them on this post and I pretty much lived in them this weekend. They are under $100 and the fit and wash seem so much more expensive – love!! I had also been wanting some black slides, and when I saw these I put them on immediately in-store and wouldn’t take them off haha. They are definitely a new favorite under $50! This olive linen blazer is another great find under $100 and a great lightweight layer for the office or just a typical day.
Thanks for everyone who tuned into my Facebook Live on Friday sharing some of my latest fashion finds under $100! For those who missed it, you can still get the full scoop here. You guys have to check out the video to see the back of this top – it’s amazing!! Definitely a stunner and a steal under $100. These jeans (also under $100) are a new buy and you’ll probably be seeing them a lot from now on. They have the best wash and I love that they are high waisted with subtle distressing. The grey round tow pumps from today’s look are under $25!! I have been wanting a round toe pump but hadn’t seen very many I love at a good price point because I wasn’t sure how I felt about the rounded toe, but these were a perfect pair to start out with! The light grey suede is so pretty!
I want to keep doing more videos! What’s some of your favorite things to see? Do you like the fashion hauls or more lifestyle or both? Love your feedback!

Bubbles and 7 Things
Pinky and peachy tones – my dress just went on sale under $25!
Wes loves sharks and we found a bunch of shark graphic tees (on sale) – such a good find if you have any kids who have a thing for shark!
Happy Friday guys! Who else is excited for the weekend??
1. No matter how old the kids get they still light up every time we play with bubbles!
2. I can’t handle how cute Mara is carrying around her purse! She even carries around my credit card and keys in her bag when I don’t feel like bringing mine. Haha!
3. Wes is losing all his teeth at the same time! It’s so cute and we can’t help but laugh because every time her smiles there’s almost a full open gap where he’s missing 4 teeth. The two front teeth are slowly starting to grow in so it won’t last much longer but I’m loving all the pictures we are getting in the mean time. 🙂
4. I’ve mentioned it before, but the kids would pretty much live in athletic clothes if they could get away with it. Sometimes they need something a little more dressed up. I found these shorts and this style from the Jumping Beans line at Kohl’s that look nice but are still really stretchy and they don’t restrict the kids at all. Best of all, they are under $10 so it’s a great budget find and I don’t worry if they are a little rough on them while they are playing.
5. Converse are one of the first shoes I ever bought for Beckam when he was a baby so I’ll forever have a soft spot for them. I love that they make them in everyone’s size in the family because I’m obsessed with matching sneakers.
6. I can’t believe the school year is almost over! The kids only have 2 weeks until they are out of school. This year is flying by!!
7. I always look forward to the summer because we have more time with the kids. It seems like during the school year they are in sports and dance so much during the week, so it’s nice to have that extra time to really play with them, go on hikes, visit the splash pad, or go on a summer getaway.
I have been on serious pink binge lately – it’s such a good color to brighten your wardrobe. You guys have seen me in this adidas sweatshirt and this tee lately – they’re the prettiest shade of blush and always on repeat! I’ve also been wearing these sneakers non-stop – I love the bright pink and blue combo. I ordered these pink slides a few weeks ago and it took me a while to track them down in my size but they just got restocked here. Also love them in blue. My tomboy style is always my go to when I don’t feel like getting ready. Adidas can do no wrong right now, haha! 🙂
You can find some similar pieces to create the look here:
My travel style in a nutshell – comfy shoes and an oversized tee! We just added these cut-offs (UNDER $100) to ILY and I love the wash and fit – so good! These sandals have also been on repeat lately. They go with everything and are under $25.
Am I the only one who’s likes to get bags or shoes as souvenirs from vacations? Utah’s store selection is pretty sparse, so pretty much anywhere we go there’s a store or pieces I can’t find at home and I have to take a peek! This trip I got this mini backpack in brown and I’ve been wearing it non-stop! It’s seriously probably one of my all time favorite bags!!
When you realize it’s been month’s since your last round up 🙈… This outfit is from a couple months ago when I shared a Facebook live video with some of my favorite (then-recent) finds under $100. Love this denim top (under $30)! You can tie the straps around your arms for an off the shoulder silhouette or around the neck to wear it as a halter.
We went on a cruise to the Bahamas with our ILY team last month. For our second stop it was raining the entire day, but we still wanted to get out and explore the island. It was beautiful and the water was so warm and clear! You could walk out forever and it would still never go past your ankles.
My mantra every morning and the prettiest flowers! I love this time of year when all of my favorite flowers are in bloom. I made this bouquet with a bunch of fresh flowers I picked up from a local store here.
My Easter dress! Tell me I’m not the only one who hasn’t outgrown the tradition of getting an Easter dress every year!? It’s the perfect way to start off the season – I’ve worn this one (similar here) multiple times and love the feminine print and silhouette. Also love this one.
I first got these in grey last year, wore them so much I had to get in pink this year when I saw them! They’re a summer staple and I wear them with everything!
We all have those days, right?! Haha the feeling is contagious at our house so we designed a collection with pieces for the whole family. (Couldn’t get Cody in his ‘Me Neither‘ tee for this one. 😉) I’m also so excited to announce our new sportswear collection at ILY! Living in these leggings!
We’ve been traveling so much lately playing catch up on meetings and things at home. I got this reversible bomber from Coach and I’m dead! It’s a great statement piece but also versatile enough that you can work it into any outfit.
When we went to pay our bill at lunch the other day, they told us that somebody had already paid it! It’s always a great reminder that there are so many good people out there – it always makes my day! It’s the best when you are in line at Starbucks or a drive thru and one person after another just keeps paying for the car behind them, so we wanted to keep the cycle going and paid for another table’s meal. Never miss a chance to pay it forward – it’s the best feeling!
Afternoon stop for an ice cream cone! I’ve been getting so many questions on this lip color (shade: Morange). It’s such a pretty bright red and perfect for summer.
Omg anytime Beckam finds a spray bottle, he has to spray everything. The other day he went on the back patio with a bottle of leave in conditioner from my bathroom and sprayed all of our patio furniture, the ground… everything! He kept trying to ‘make me smell good’ and I’m pretty sure I smelled like Flowerbomb for the next 3 days lol.
One of my favorite summer uniforms: a dress and sneakers! I hunted these babies down the second I laid eyes on them – I’m sooo obsessed! They are by far my brightest pair of sneakers and I’m betting they are soon to be one of my most worn too.
Below are few more of my recent finds you’ve seen on Insta lately:
I wore this pretty off the shoulder maxi dress for Mother’s Day Sunday. I love the off-the-shoulder with a maxi silhouette! And of course the floral print 🙂 It’s such an easy piece to throw with sandals for a day of errands or with heels and a leather jacket for date night. Beckam was seriously being SO SWEET on Mother’s Day! Cuddling me and giving me extra kisses. I don’t really think he understood exactly what Mother’s day was, but he he was all about the loves and I was soaking it up.
I got so many questions on the frames Cody and the kids made me for Mother’s Day! He and the kids actually picked out every single picture and had them printed, cut them out with guy at the print shop and taped them with the kids one by one into each frame. I love those kinds of gifts!! My heart seriously melted! I know a lot of you guys were wanting to make one of your own, so I did a little digging and found this place has collage option really similar which might save a little time if you don’t want to DIY it. (Although I love the personal touch!)
Below are a few more floral maxis I’m loving.

Dining Room Reveal
This dining table (similar here) was the first piece I picked. It looks like a high-end designer table but a third the price!
These dining chairs are probably my favorite piece from our new space! The leather is so easy it clean which is a must with kiddos! Also love these!
Happy Monday guys! Hope you had a great Mother’s Day weekend! I am so excited to share our dining room makeover with Joss & Main! I shared a few sneak peaks on Instastories but here’s the full reveal!
I have been putting off our dining room redesign for the longest time! Our dining table was the first thing Cody and I bought after we got married with money from our wedding gifts so it was definitely a sentimental piece. But the table was a little too small for our current space, so it was time for a refresher it was time for a refresher! I’m so happy with how it turned out. I always get a lot of questions on our home decor so I wanted to share some of my favorite pieces, why we chose them, and a few must-haves to make a dining room feel both fresh and functional.
Space to entertain. We had outgrown our table a while ago so I had been on the hunt for something bigger and when I found this one (similar here) I got really excited! It looked like the high-end designer ones I had been eyeing but it was less than half of the price. That’s one of the things I love about shopping at Joss & Main – their pieces are great quality and are all at really good price points. I love how big the table is, so there’s plenty of room for some extra seats when we have guests over. We also got these bar stools to add a few more seats while we are entertaining and the kids love to sit there for breakfast or while Cody and I are cooking. You can never have too many places to sit!
Easy-to-clean seating. This was a big one on our list. We used to have linen chairs but they got destroyed so fast- the kids spilled so much on them, they were ruined in no time. I love white to brighten up an area, but Knew I had to get something that could hold up against spills. These chairs are amazing! Probably my favorite piece from the redesign.We’ve already spilled syrup, spaghetti, juice – the works, haha – and it wipes up and cleans so easily because they are leather. Also love the rose gold hardware on them. They are so beautiful!
Dishware you can mix-and-match. I’m always collecting different pieces, so whenever we entertain, we always have a variety of color depending on the occasion. It helps add dimension by mixing colors and patterns. I’m obsessed with these wood dishes! And I just ordered these cute gingham napkins.
Something green. I don’t have much of a green thumb but having a plant of some sort makes such a huge difference to liven up a space! I loved the look of this faux palm (just ordered this one) and knew it stood a better chance of sticking around a little longer since it doesn’t require me watering it. 🙂 Fresh flowers also make a huge difference and are my favorite trick to brightening up any space.
I’m obsessed with all things gingham. I just got this gingham wrap belt and it’s crazy what a difference one piece can make to even the simplest outfit. It’s the perfect touch for your office wardrobe or for date night. I’m excited to style it with other pieces!
Below are some other great gingham pieces I’m loving:
And some black and white pieces every wardrobe needs:
Be sure to check back for my dining room reveal at 9am MST Monday morning!
