DIY GIFTS FOR MOM

And as much as I love seeing what my kids pick out for Mother’s Day or shopping for something for my own moms, the DIY gifts are always hands down my favorite, so I wanted to share some DIY gift ideas you can put together or help your kids put together for mom.

1. Hand-painted mug: I love mugs and have so many cute mugs in my collection, but the mug I use almost every day is one my kids hand-painted for me. You can take the kids to Color Me Mine or put together a craft station at home. I promise, it will be mom’s first choice for mug with her morning cup or coffee or tea!
2. Hand-written cards: As someone who’s love language is words, I always look forward to getting cards for holidays and I always save them. In a time where we might not be able to visit your moms in person or it’s so simple to order something online, don’t underestimate the value of mailing a card with a sweet note about why you love mom.
3. Spa session: Another way to spoil mom if you’re tight on funds is to set up a home spa session: let her have a relaxing day at home and cuddle up on the couch to catch up on her favorite shows. (Especially for new moms! A few hours of r&r is priceless!) Think back/foot massages, DIY manis and pedis, and more.
4. Breakfast in bed: On that same note, breakfast in bed is a classic for a reason. It’s such a fun memory and a cute gesture of doing something for mom that she’s constantly doing for others. A couple weeks ago the boys brought me breakfast in bed and it was so cute watching Beckam and Ollie run in with the food all proud and excited. Heres the video if you missed it 🙂

Linking to a few more Mother’s Day gift ideas below. Let me know in comments what you guys’ most memorable Mother’s Day gifts were, either that you gave or received. I’d love to know what kind of gifts meant the most for you guys!

Also love all the bright colored swimsuits – this green one is such a pretty color and also love this ombre one piece. I’m in love with this floral bikini set.

I’m also head over heels for this ombre maxi dress – every detail is insane! The color, the fabric, the buttons, the full sleeves. Obsessed! These pants are another one of my favorite finds right now. It’s a pretty knit and love the slits. Perfect to pair with a bodysuit or as a swimsuit cover up. And of course, accessories! How good is this straw bucket hat! I also found this visor for under $50.

I love any excuse to get dressed up, but just as much as I love a little Valentine’s glam, I am also a homebody.  I wanted to share some of my favorite cozy Valentine pieces and ideas to make the most of a day/night in.

VALENTINE’S BRUNCH

Valentine’s Day falls on a Sunday this year so take advantage of the slow, lazy mornings with a Valentine’s brunch. We got this heart-shaped waffle maker last year and it kicked off a new holiday tradition with waffle art. Also love these heart mugs for your morning espresso.  But I live in PJ’s so let’s not forget the best part matching pajamas! Love these matching heart pajamas and this cute lounge set.  I also got this red ribbed set for Ollie which I already have in a few other colors. Linking a few more of my recent Valentine’s buys at the end of the post, too!

FESTIVE DIY PROJECTS

Whether it’s just you and your S/O or you have kids in the mix, adding a fun DIY memory to your day is a great way to make a keepsake and a memory at once. This year I’m thinking of getting red lounge sets for the family and tie-dying them. They’ll be a great festive look for Vday but also great to split up as separates and get more wear out of them throughout the year. Love these for a great unisex fits for adults and these are great for kids so you can grab whatever sizes you need.

COOK TOGETHER

Cooking and baking together can be just as memorable and romantic as a date night out, especially if one (or neither haha) of you doesn’t spend much time in the kitchen. Light some candles and turn on your favorite playlist and have fun – whether it turns out according to plan or doesn’t it will great time with your S/O.

Here a few Valentine’s pieces I have bought this week for me and the kids:

• XO Embroidered Sweatshirt
• Mini-me onesie
• Pink heart pajamas

And below are some more of my favorites for a cozy Valentine’s Day at home!

ACDC GRAPHIC TEE (UNDER $20) | 14. CORDED ZIP SWEATSHIRT

Graphic tees are a closet staple year-round – you can never have enough! I found this Rolling Stones and this ACDC tee under $20. They are perfect for layering under your blazers or denim jackets to add some color to your look. This blazer comes in 3 colors but I’m clearly in major beige/neutrals mode this fall haha. I’m also loving all the cozy, casual half-zip pullovers! Love this sherpa one and also this pretty corded one – both under $50. Also obsessed with all things ribbed! Love this pretty scoop neck top that comes in 3 colors and also this cute pajama set!

Below are some other fall finds – all under $50! Let me know your faves!

The post The Best Fall Finds Under $50 appeared first on Hello Fashion.

Sweater dresses are one of my favorite pieces for fall – not only do they make for the perfect one-and-done fall look, they are also super versatile! I have this one in multiple colors – it’s super cozy and just the right fit, plus under $100. I got a size large so it was oversized and longer. Here are 4 unexpected ways to style your sweater dresses this season.

DATE NIGHT DETAILS: CAMEL SWEATER DRESS | 1. CAMEL COAT (UNDER $100) | 2. OCTAGON SUNGLASSES | 3. NUDE LIP GLOSS (SHADE: HALLUCINATION – HAVE THIS ONE AND LOVE!)| 4. FAUX LEATHER DUFFEL | 5. LONG WHITE BUTTON TUNIC (UNDER $100) | 6. KNEE-HIGH BOOTS (UNDER $100) | 7. GOLD RING SET | 8. GOLD SIGNET RING

OVER AN OVERSIZED BUTTON-UP

One of the freshest ways to style your sweater dress is over a button-up, oversized tunic. I love the look of the white button up hanging out the hem! (Could also work with some of your longer, oversized sweaters.) Add some knee-high boots (can’t believe this pair is under $100!) and an oversized bag for a high-end feel (extra points for a monochromatic look!). I also just got this gloss and love the shade of nude! So good! Altogether, it’s the perfect fall date night look.

TUCK IT

WEEKEND STYLE: CAMEL SWEATER DRESS | 1. PLAID SHACKET | 2. BLACK BASEBALL HAT (UNDER $10) | 3. BLACK BELT | 4. DISTRESSED DENIM (UNDER $100) | 5. RED LIPSTICK (SHADE: RITA) | 6. WHITE HIGH-TOP NIKES | 7. SUNGLASSES (ON SALE 15% OFF)  | 8. MINI-BUCKET BAG

Make your sweater dresses work double time by tucking the hem into your denim and wearing them as an oversized sweater. It’s a super cozy, carefree look perfect for the weekend or just running errands. I am so obsessed with this pair that I got them in both colors – super flattering fit, the perfect wash, and under $100. For a more casual look, throw on some high-top sneakers and a baseball cap. Or to kick it up a notch, you can add a pretty belt (love the asymmetric hardware on this one!) and a pretty leather mini handbag (obsessed with this brand’s – need!).

UNDER A LEATHER MINI

BRUNCH DETAILS: CAMEL SWEATER DRESS | 1. FAUX LEATHER MINI SKIRT (UNDER $100) | 2. WOOL COAT | 3. SUNGLASSES | 4. MIX N MATCH EARRINGS (UNDER $50) | 5. WHITE TOTE | 6. NAIL POLISH (SHADE: THUNDER ROAD) | 7. TAN HEADBAND | 8. WHITE ANKLE BOOTIE

One of my favorite combos for fall is knits and leather! For thinner-knit sweater dresses, throw on a leather skirt (obsessed with this one under $100 – the pockets + color are so good!). It’s another unexpected pairing and can be so chic when done right. Finish it off with a leather ankle bootie and you’re ready for brunch with the girls. Also love the idea of leather paper-bag shorts with tights!

SHACKETED UP

FALL FESTIVITIES LOOK: CAMEL SWEATER DRESS | 1. GREY SHACKET (UNDER $100 – SIMILAR HERE)| 2. NAIL POLISH (SHADE: MID-DAY MOCHA) | 3. KNIT BEANIE (UNDER $50) | 4. NUDE COMBAT BOOT | 5. RUFFLED SOCKS (2-PACK) | 6. TAN MINI SHOULDER BAG | 7. LEOPARD FACE MASK (3-PACK FACE MASKS) | 8. GOLD HOOPS (UNDER $25)

This might be one of my favorite looks. I’m allllll about the shackets this fall! They are selling out so fast everywhere so clearly I’m not alone haha. I love it layered over a sweater dress and with a chunky knit beanie for a cozy, casual look. These nude combat boots are such a pretty color to bring in some nude tones to your fall wardrobe and I love the idea of these ruffled socks paired with them! Also how cute is this mini shoulder bag!? I am in love!!

What do you guys think? Which pairing is more your style? Below are some other fall pieces I’ve been eyeing lately:

TAN SQUARE NECK SWEATER (UNDER $25 – COMES IN 3 COLORS) | 26. SLINGBACK SLIDES (ON SALE UNDER $50 – ALSO LOVE THIS COLOR)

Between the infinite layering possibilities, boots, and cozy chunky knits, fall is my favorite season for fashion. Without NYFW on my itinerary this fall, I haven’t had an excuse to splurge this season but there are so many amazing pieces that are budget-friendly so I tried to focus mainly on pieces that are under $100, on sale, or a steal.

I have a heard time not scooping up all the cozy sweaters I can get my hands on, so it helps when I can find them at good price points. This one has the perfect turtleneck and comes in 6 gorgeous colors and under $25. The square neckline is also so pretty for fall and of course I can’t say no to a good crop. This one would be so cute with jeans and I love the detailing on this one!

I’m actually really excited about denim this fall! I’ve been reverting back to some of my old favorites and been excited to add some new pairs to the rotation. This one is an amazing price point under $100 and this pair is 50% off and super high-waisted – so flattering! Also love the silhouette and distressing on this pair (also under $100). Trousers are also a great way to break up your denim habit this fall – the color on these is so chic and reads really expensive, I couldn’t believe the price!

And of course, what’s fall without a new pair of boots or loafers? The heel on these white loafers is soooo good and these embellished loafers are on major sale right now. They were one of my most asked about pieces last fall (last seen here) and can’t wait to pull out again this year!

Below are some more fall pieces either in my cart or on my radar right now:

Let the countdown to boot season begin! I love the ease of being able to throw on boots with just about any outfit. There are a few staple boots every girl should own – the ankle boot, the combat boot, the embellished/statement boot, the over-the-knee boot, and the heeled bootie. When it comes to flats, loafers are pretty much all I wear these days. I love the embellished buckle detail on both this pair and this one.  And then sneakers!

Love this one that comes in both the prettiest brown and grey. If you haven’t invested in a timeless camel blazer or tailored coat yet, there’s no excuse! You will wear them forever.

I use Oribe and Necessaire products all the time – they smell amazing and are one of those splurges that make your beauty routine feel a little more luxurious. I also love stocking up on beauty products for little stocking stuffers or Christmas gifts for friends. This NARS Lip kit comes with the cutest clutch! Love! Also this perfume set – a great gift on it’s own or split them up for stocking stuffers for friends!

Hello daily uniform! Nothing is as tempting to me as comfy sportswear and a good pair of joggers so I rounded up some of my favorites. Whether you are the type to hit the gym or to run errands in comfort, these pieces can do it all! This tank is such a good fit and comes in 5 colors – even better it’s under $25. Also obsessed with this shade of pink… dying! These joggers get amazing reviews (also love this lighter shade).

No time like when we are all staying home 24/7 to get cozy with some new home additions, haha! Honestly though I have been soaking up the extra time to nest and have loved looking for new home additions. I can’t say no to a thick, plush robe and love the look of this chenille one. Also obsessed with this leopard throw! This brand has the softest throws and tons of great colors this season. Another find from the sale was these towels – they get amazing reviews and come in the prettiest colors! Have you guys tried them? Also drooling over this toaster – who else is obsessed with all the retro Smeg kitchen accessories?! Lastly, obsessed with all the options in this pajama top and shorts set – so good and budget-friendly.

With the Wish List option you can add your favorite pieces in your size (double bonus!) to your wish list. Once the sale opens to you, you can go straight to your wish list to add to your bag. See screenshots below for the step by step process:

Click exact size and color you want, and ADD TO WISHLIST.

You can break your wishlists down to certain lists too for easier shopping.

You can easily view your lists and items you have already selected and when sale opens up boom its all right there.

I wanted to share some of my favorites today, some of these items are tried and true favorites I have used for years and some of the items are already on my own wishlist!

DETAILS: 1. MOCK NECK SWEATER (ON SALE UNDER $50) | 2. NECESSAIRE SET (UNDER $50) | 3. CAR SEAT (ON SALE 25% OFF) 4. JOGGERS (COME IN 2 COLORS – UNDER $25) | 5. NIKE SNEAKERS | 6. PAJAMAS SET (ON SALE UNDER $50) | 7. NUDE MULES (ON SALE UNDER $50) | 8. SMEG TOASTER | 9. PINK MAKEUP BRUSHES (ON SALE UNDER $50)| 10. OLAPLEX SET (ON SALE UNDER $100) | 11. BOYFRIEND DENIM (ON SALE UNDER $50) | 12. BLACK CAMISOLE (ON SALE UNDER $20)| 13.WHITE SILK PILLOWCASE SET | 14. NUDE TEE (ON SALE UNDER $20) | 15. GRAPHIC TEE (ON SALE UNDER $50) | 16. LEOPARD PRINT BLANKET (ON SALE 30% OFF)| 17. GOLD HOOPS (ON SALE UNDER $50) | 18. NIKE SNEAKERS (ON SALE UNDER $50) | 19. WHITE MULES | 20. BLACK BIKER SHORTS | 21. GOLD MICHELE WATCH

Baby: The lightest and best carseat on the market (this is one we have for ollie) is on MAJOR SALE! We have two different strollers and Ollie is just about outgrown his Doona so we have been using the Nuna again. Both strollers are great but the Nuna has more storage and the carseat itself is A LOT lighter.

Beauty: This body wash is a favorite, stock up while it’s on sale. Olaplex will transform your hair, used it for years, I have been out for a couple months and keep forgetting to buy it going to stock up. And these brushes are cute and pink and my friend Marisa who does my makeup has a couple of them so I need 🙂

Shoes: I honestly feel like they knocked it out of the park with shoes this year. I have these shoes on my wishlist, they are BEAUTIFUL! I have seen them in real life and they are even better in real life. Mark my words they are going to be sold out fast. They look high end and I don’t wear heels nearly as much as I used to so these are great for fashion and mom mode. I also got these cute nike sneakers. And obsessed with these platform sneakers.

Home: Get me every soft blanket there is and something warm and cozy and I’m ready for fall. Also how cute is this toaster??!

Clothes: Can never say no to a good pair of sweats. These are under $30 and have both colors on my wishlist. This cute cami is under $25 and so is this one.

Did a dressing room try on haul yesterday – they didn’t have a ton in store, and they even told me stock is more limited because of social distancing they want more people to shop online, so get your carts ready for your access day!

The Anniversary Sale opens up to Nordstrom Cardholders and members throughout August (today for Icon Early Access). Once it opens to cardholders (August 13th) and then the public (August 19th), pieces will start to sell out fast so you’ll want to move quick when it opens up to you.

Below are some more of my favorites from the Nordstrom Anniversary sale!

The post Shopping the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Made Simple appeared first on Hello Fashion.

I don’t know if it’s just living out of a suitcase for a few days or living in loungewear all summer, but I am itching to put on a pretty dress! There are so many good summer dress trends right now that are going to pass us by, haha so whether you have family photos coming up, an intimate backyard wedding, or are just anxious to trade in your sweats, here are some of my favorite summer dresses online – all under $150!

DETAILS: 1. GREY DRESS (UNDER $50 – COMES IN 3 COLORS) | 2. SUNGLASSES (UNDER $100) 3. WHITE DOT OFF THE SHOULDER (UNDER $100) | 4. WOVEN BLOCK HEEL SANDAL (UNDER $100 – ALSO COMES IN BLACK) | 5. RUFFLED MINI DRESS (MAJOR STEAL!) | 6. GREEN MINI DRESS (ON SALE UNDER $100) | 7. YELLOW DRESS (ON SALE UNDER $100) | 8. LIP GLOSS (SHADE: ROSE ILLICITE)| 9. PINE HOOPS | 10. TIE DYE FACE MASK | 11. WHITE BACKLESS DRESS (COMES IN 4 COLORS) | 12. RUFFLED PINK SANDALS | 13. PINK MINI SATCHEL (ON SALE 50% OFF) | 14. BLUE FLORAL MINI DRESS (ON SALE UNDER $50 – ALSO COMES IN YELLOW) | 15. WOVEN HEADBAND (UNDER $50) | 16. WHITE LACE MINI DRESS (UNDER $100 – ALSO COMES IN BLACK) | 17. SILK FACE MASK | 18. LILAC MAXI DRESS (COMES IN 3 COLORS)

DROPPED HEMS: This dress comes in three colors and each one is just as good as the next. I love the dropped hem and it’s an amazing price point under $50!

OFF THE SHOULDER: Nothing handles summer heat as gracefully as an off the shoulder dress. I love the silhouette of this one –  showing some skin makes the polka dots feel a little more grown up.

RUFFLED UP: I, for one, have always said yes to a good ruffle, but if you worry about it being overwhelming or too feminine, try it with a shorter hem. I could NOT believe the price tag on this one – soooo good!

BRIGHT + BOLD: In a sea of neutrals that is my closet, I’m always craving some color. There are so many bold colors and no easier way to wear them than in a simple silhouette, like a dress. Love this bold yellow and I’m on a major neon streak – I could wear this dress on repeat!

BACKLESS BEAUTY: Never underestimate the effect of understated drama. I’m obsessed with all the back details on dresses this season. Love this cute tea dress with an open back. (Also can’t wait to wear it this fall with sheer tights and combat boots!)

RUCHED + READY: The ruched mini dress is probably my favorite addition to the summer dress trends line-up. It’s form flattering, flirty, and they have so many print and color combos that the possibilities are endless! This one is on major sale and comes in the prettiest yellow too.

LACED UP: What better way to update the lace trim than with a chic, modern silhouette? The high neckline of this dress paired with a short hem feels so young and elegant. Can’t believe this one is under $100!

MAXI MOMENT: Last but not least, the maxi dress! Free People always has the best summer dresses and did not disappoint this season. Obsessed with this lilac one!

Below are a few other summer dress trends I love! (Honestly they are all so good and great price points – need them all!)

FOR THE BEACH BABE

If you are heading to the water, there’s nothing like a festive suit so beat the heat and celebrate the 4th! I just got this gingham swimsuit and couldn’t believe the price. It’s on sale and soooo cute (comes in tons of colors/patterns!) I also love this ribbed bikini top and bottom – I love it in navy to balance out the feminine/flirty feel of the ruffles. A cute pair of sunglasses are another must! Love this pretty blue pair and they are on sale under $50.

FOR THE FRIENDS + FIREWORKS

Backyard BBQs, s’mores, and fireworks call for cute but comfortable. I love any excuse to put on a dress and since we’ve gone 3+ months without a good one, the 4th seems like the perfect opportunity to go big or go home with a red, white, and blue ensemble. Now to narrow it down to just one… haha. I love this dress which comes in three colors (the white and red would both be so good!). It’s under $50 and a timeless silhouette you would wear for multiple occasions. I ordered this one which is such a pretty combo of RW&B all in one piece. Also love the back detail on this gingham dress (so good!) and how pretty is this off-the-shoulder option?

FOR THE LOW-KEY, LOUNGERS

If you’re laying low this 4th of July, just add some color or stars and stripes to your outfit to make it feel more like a celebration. Keep it casual but cute with some staples like a cute denim or paper-bag short (just got this pair) or make a statement with this striped pair. You can bring in more color with festive accessories like this striped bandana or these sandals (love this color combo!). Also obsessed with this striped scrunchy!

Below are a few other pieces I’m loving for 4th of July that can work for any celebration style. Let me know how you guys plan to celebrate below in comments!

SIMILAR SWIMSUIT DETAILS: GREEN CHECKER BIKINI TOP | COIN PENDANT NECKLACE (ANOTHER OPTION HERE) | LEOPARD BIKINI | RATTAN VISOR | RATTAN BUCKET BAG | RUFFLE BLACK BIKINI | BLACK TIE SUNHAT | GOLD EARRINGS | WHITE BIKINI TOP | HEADWRAP | THICK BAND WHITE BIKINI TOP | FLOPPY HAT | CRINKLE ONE PIECE (EXACT) | LINEN BUTTON UP

Swimsuit season is upon us and it makes me so happy to think about laying out in the sun! Because of everything going on right now, it’s sad to say that this season won’t quite be as adventurous as your typical summer break but that does not mean you can’t enjoy a couple new suits to get your tan on (even if that means laying out in your backyard)! Here are a few of my favorite looks on Pinterest right now:

(IMAGE VIA PINTEREST)

This checkered bikini is everything. I love the lime green checkered top paired with some layered coin necklaces completing a total vintage vibe! I found a similar bikini here and have this & this coin pendant I love that would pair perfectly!

(IMAGE VIA PINTEREST)

Obsessed with this thick band top- I found this one that’s super cute. I love a white swimsuit because it makes you look more tan than you actually are (I need all the help I can get after that long winter). The floppy hat gives it a completed look, I love this one and I would even maybe pair with some thin gold hoops like these!

(IMAGE VIA PINTEREST)

The crinkle one piece is my all-time favorite swimsuit look! I have a few suits with this fabric and let me tell you- they are so comfortable and flattering on! I love the turtle shell accent on this suit and a simple white button-up like this to throw over as a cover-up for a classy monochromatic look. Here is this exact one piece!

(IMAGE VIA PINTEREST)

A black swimsuit is a swim season must. I always feel like they’re so flattering on and are perfect for a low key look. Black goes with everything it’s so easy to wear with some gold jewelry like these earrings and I love her black-tie sunhat like this one! I think black always pair really good with denim cutoffs like these for an on the go look.

(IMAGE VIA PINTEREST)

Give me all the leopard patterns! You can never go wrong with this pattern- this string bikini is so fun I found a really similar one here (also obsessed with this one from one of my favorite swimwear brands last seen here). I love her tie rattan bucket bag I found a cute one here and I seriously want to buy this visor!

(IMAGE VIA PINTEREST)

This is one of my favorite inspo photos I found! I love the idea of wearing a headwrap like hers paired with a white bikini. It allows you to have a little fun with the wrap while keeping a simple look for your swimsuit. I love this headwrap I found and this similar swimsuit!

Which style is your favorite?? See some more pieces I’m loving below:

The post Swimspo Roundup – My Favorite Swimsuit Trends appeared first on Hello Fashion.

Comfort meets sophisticated with the new suit and I’m all for it. You can’t deny that comfort is cool and with casual suits hitting the runway from all the best designers – from The Row to Oscar de la Renta – all styled with a fresh new spin. We’re seeming them styled with sporty sneakers and eye-catching jewelry to completely transform them from an office-only look to something we could take to the streets. This season we are seeing such an amazing variety, from colorful options, lighter linen fabrics, and my personal favorite: the shorts suit making a new debut.

Here are 3 different casual suiting trends and how to style them, from sporty to sophisticated:

THE LINEN LOOK: (EVERYTHING UNDER $100)

DETAILS: 1. LINEN BLAZER (UNDER $50) | 2. RIBBED TANK (UNDER $20) | 3. SUNGLASSES (ON SALE UNDER $10) | 4. LINEN HAT (ON SALE UNDER $20) | 5. PAVE EARRINGS (UNDER $100) | 6. CROSSBODY (UNDER $100)  | 7. LINEN SHORTS (UNDER $50) | 8. SLIDES (UNDER $50)

Nothing says spring/summer ready like linen. I love this linen shorts suit look for an effortless day look. To keep it feeling sophisticated, keep it monochromatic with pretty beiges and nudes. You can also break it up with a bright neon cropped tee (similar here) and bright sneakers for a sporty look. Also love this blazer and paper-bag pant set – so chic and great price points!

COLORFUL COOL:

DETAILS: 9. OVERSIZED SUNGLASSES (UNDER $50) | 10. WHITE  CROPPED TEE (UNDER $20) | 11. ROSE TROUSERS (UNDER $100 – SIMILAR HERE ON SALE) | 12. PEARL HOOPS  (ON SALE UNDER $30) | 13. ROSE BLAZER (UNDER $100) | 14. WOVEN BOX BAG | 15. SNEAKERS

The colorful casual suits options right now are endless. Obsessed with this gorgeous rose suit! To bring a more casual vibe, add a cropped ribbed tee (love this one under $20 – need it in every color!) and some spring sneakers. This is a pretty paler pink option and also love this green blazer and shorts set.

THE SHORTS SUIT:

DETAILS: 16. VELVET BOW (UNDER $25) | 17. BLACK NAIL POLISH | 18. GIVENCHY TEE | 19. SUNGLASSES | 20. GOLD CHAIN CHOKER (UNDER $100) | 21. TAILORED BLAZER | 22. LEOPARD SANDALS | 23. SATIN-DETAILS TROUSER SHORTS (ON SALE HERE – MORE SIZES HERE) | 24. FAUX LINEN TOTE (ON SALE 20% OFF – COMES IN 4 COLORS)

The shorts suit is a welcome revival from the 90s but if you are new to the shorts suit, start with the basics and go back to black. This blazer and these shorts have the more beautiful satin detailing that you could wear with heels and a white bodysuit to the office or dress it down with a graphic tee and sandals.

Below I’ve linked more casual suits pieces and accessories to style them for different occasions:

It’s no surprise that comfort is trending right now, but sportswear isn’t just for the gym or lazy mornings. One of my favorite trends right now is elevated athleisure – going from sneakers and streetstyle to blazers and business meetings. Below are a few ways to transition your athleisure pieces for multiple occasions.

STREET STYLE LOOK: TRACK PANTS (ALSO LOVE THESE) | CROPPED HOODIE (SIMILAR HERE) | SUNGLASSES (UNDER $100) | CARGO UTILTY JACKET (UNDER $50) | TOTE | GOLD EARRINGS | SNEAKERS (UNDER $100)

OFFICE LOOK: TRACK PANTS | ONE SLEEVE TANK (ON SALE UNDER $10 – COMES IN MULTIPLE COLORS) | SUNGLASSES (UNDER $50) | CAMEL BLAZER (ON SALE UNDER $50)| LIPSTICK | BRACELET | WOVEN TOTE (ON SALE UNDER $50) | SANDALS

The starting point for making the transition from daytime to desk job? A good pair of track pants. This is another great pair and love the color scheme on this pair (under $50). Track pants pair perfectly with a white sneaker and a cropped hoodie – just add a utility jacket for an extra layer to bring in some more detail (love this one). To make your track pants work for the office, swap out the sneakers for some pretty sandals. You can also add a fitted bodysuit layered under an oversized blazer. (Would also love this look with an oversized button up for an effortless but professional feel!)

Below are some other elevated athleisure pieces and other options for styling them!

How is it April?! With Easter coming up it seems weird to imagine what it will be like, but we have so many traditions with our kids that I think it will be something good for all of us to look forward to. I’ve dressed up for Easter Sunday  since I was a little girl and have loved dressing up the kids every year (also how could I say no to the idea of Ollie in a little suit!?). Still hunting for his look! I just want his first Easter to still be special (even though I know he won’t remember it haha). I don’t want the kids to look back and feel like life completely shut down, and honestly it brings me some happiness too putting it all together 🙂 I just want it to still be special for all the kids! So this week I’ve been Easter shopping! A lot of places have adjusted their shipping speed to I realized I had to plan a little earlier this year. Still trying to figure out what all I am going to put in their baskets – I’m thinking some fun little activities for the house – so if you have any ideas throw them my way!

I wanted to share some of my favorite Easter dress inspo this year and including a few throwbacks from the last few years.Easter is the epitome of all things colorful – flowers, sunshine, spring – and I love all the beautiful dress options right now that are perfect for the day! I’m obsessed with this gorgeous yellow dress (just add a cute clutch and simple sandal – this one goes with everything!). I looove this gorgeous floral print (similar look here). There are also so many great options available at budget-friendly price points – I love the silhouette of this one and this one, both under $100. This is another one under $100 that is super versatile – add some heels for Easter Sunday or add a pair of white sneakers for a more casual look.

Also linking to our last few Easter looks! This one was last seen here. Not the same without Mara & Wes!

This one didn’t make it to a blog post somehow, but this dress is still available here (and on sale 40% off!) Also loved Mara’s embroidered dress and for little boys suits, this brand is my go-to. They have so many cute colors! It can be a bit of investment, but great if you have other occasions coming up or you can also find them discounted here or sometimes here.

Last seen here. (How tiny are the kids!?!?)

Below are some more Easter dresses and accessories to kick off your spring wardrobe!

1. GREY  TEE | 2. BLUSH SWEATSHIRT | 3. SWEATSHIRT AND SHORTS | 4. BEACH PANTS (UNDER $100) | 5. BLUSH TIE SKIRT (UNDER $50) | 6. JOGGERS | 7. NUDE BODYSUIT (UNDER $100) | 8.

Enter: the coolest, carefree print to hit the scene since its debut in the 60s (and who can forget the brief revisit during the 90s..) – tie dye! Somehow in all the chaos of 2020 so far, the bright, fun vibe of tie dye seems like the only thing that makes sense right now – who’s day couldn’t use a splash of color? You can find tie-dye everywhere these days, but I wanted to pick out some of my favorites!

Tie-dye is a foolproof way to add color to your wardrobe and it also pulls in unique color combos without overwhelming an outfit or feeling too busy, like this pink and yellow top and these green and blue leggings. I  also love the combo of the tan and bright pink in this tee and the open back is so good! And how perfect is this rainbow tee?

The tie-dye trend is also a great opportunity to add texture and prints to your closet. Swap out your stripes and plaids for something tie-dyed. You can tone it down with white joggers or light wash denim cut-offs. Obsessed with this sports bra to liven up a workout look and this bodysuit is amazing. Also how cozy does this sweatshirt and shorts combo look??

Below are some more tie-dye pieces I’m loving!

I’ve also been drawn to all the bright suits (doesn’t hurt that they make your tan look even darker 😉 This pink one is so good and I love the look of the ribbed material and also this cute sporty striped option.

Their accessories are also sooooo good. I wish I owned everything from this brand – this bag is perfect and this one! 😍 I also love the ribbon tie detail on this stunning straw hat. They also have every sandal you could ever want. I ordered this strappy pair and also love these tan slides.

I always feel guilty when I place a big order on Shopbop outside of their sale (although let’s be real, sometimes I can’t wait haha) so I try to hold off on some of my bigger purchases until their sale hits. You can save up to 25% off with code: SPRING. Honestly I would wear every single piece from Shopbop, but I tried to narrow it down to some of my favorites. Products and sizes already sell out fast, so if you are on the fence then don’t hesitate because pickings will be slim by the end of the sale on the 8th!

I have been really excited to try this denim brand. They are a bit of an investment for denim, so they were one of the first things I looked at when this sale hit. Their silhouettes and washes are all perfection – obsessed with this one! And while we’re on the subject of denim… these denim shorts are so good and I can’t believe they are under $100!

I also can’t keep my eyes off all the beautiful sandals! There’s a perfect pretty pair in every spring color – how cool is this green pair and this blue pair? Also love the strap detail on this pair and this one and the chunky wooden heel on this one. (Can you tell I’m a shoe person!? 😉 I’m also obsessed with the Veja sneakers and need this pair and how amazing

Shopbop always has the prettiest spring pieces and their florals are better than ever this season. Love this top and this swim combo is amazing. Also these sandals are soooo stunning.

Lastly, if you thought there was no way I could narrow it down to just 25 pieces, you were right. Here are some others from the Spring Shopbop sale that I’m obsessed with!
