Good morning and Happy Monday! Today I've got a fun day of waiting on plumbers and distracting a teething crawling baby! How about you? 

Man, this crawling thing is no joke. It's like Athena went from a sweet little curious baby to a mobile moving machine overnight. She has been scooting for weeks now (first backwards) but to our surprise Saturday morning she full on CRAWLED at high speed with the motivation of my lime La Croix. She loves all of our beverages, especially trying to get her hands on (*mouth on) our coffee or cans. Aslo as of this weekend she outgrew ALL of her shoes. She changes so quickly every day, I can barley keep up.

So a little backstory on this house in these pictures. I was on my way home from a fabulous facial with my friend Jade (go see her!!) over at the beautiful new Basalt Spa, and I drive past this house. I was so in shock I had to turn around and make sure I wasn't imagining it. It's so strange because all the houses in our area have a lot of old charm and character so this stuck out like a bright rainbow sore thumb! I wanted to know so much more! No one was home when we went by, but who are you people? Why did you do this? How did you do this? It looks expensive. Haha! Can't be good for resale value!

I went home and told Andrew I saw the craziest house but I didn't tell him what it looked like, just that I'd take him and he had to see it for himself. We went for a family walk one day to see it and naturally, with my love for pretty walls, we had to take some pictures here. It's pretty cool, huh? Like cool to see, but I certainly wont be doing this to my house anytime soon kind of cool. Glad it's someone else's house!  

This top is also from the Victoria Beckham line at Target that people were going bonkers over. Honestly, I totally forgot about it but I was at Target buying diapers on release day and I saw an abnormal amount of women gathered around in the clothing section and got in on the first day dibs on lots of the stuff. Sizing ran kind of weird but I bought this top because I though it would be a great teacher shirt for the upcoming school year. Btw, it's so exciting to think about teacher clothes again! I'm looking forward to dressing like a professional person again. Pjs are great, but don't really make you feel stylish or pretty. So anyway, I got this peplum top and this orange romper. Athena got this cute scalloped stripe set and this light weight outfit as well. Everything is already on clearance so if you missed it, check it out now at great prices!

Tune-Up and Lace-Up

Jeans: Topshop Maternity// Tee: Nordstrom  $38 and just restocked and in 7 colors!! // Hat: Forever 21 // Bandana: Ebay // Bag: Forever 21 // Shoes: Superga 

If you haven't noticed, bandanas are making a huge comeback and I'm loving it. They are so easy to throw on to add a little something extra to a regular jeans and tee-shirt combo. And you may be able to find bandanas at places like Zara, I prefer to score them for under $1.50 with free shipping on Ebay! For real! And you can pretty much get them in any shade of the rainbow!

This lace-up tee shirt is so cozy and also very on trend right now. the lace-up trend which has been seen mostly on footwear (just bought these!) and is now working its way upward to the necklines of tops and dresses.

Since I have pretty much exclusively been wearing sneakers, I felt these navy Supergas would be a good investment. I have the white ones, but my students always stepped on them at school and made them all dirty so this darker color is really just a smarter option. 

Hope you are having a great weeks so far. I've got plans to share my office/closet room with you guys on the blog soon. Stay tuned!

Top // Leggings (My favorite leggings 5 years straight!! Seriously love them!) // Sneakers and Purse (c/o Shopbop) // sunglasses

Andrew was so excited about the starting point of his race that he took me back there to see it. It was totally worth the drive to see this spot. Don't you think?

I was not planning to do any hiking, so this outfit was the closest I could come to outdoorsy in a pinch. I picked up the tunic sweatshirt at City Creek Mall which is such a pretty mall. It's so clean too that it puts Chicago to shame. Especially our Forever 21's which usually look as if a bomb had gone off in the store.

If your want to steer clear of your local Forever 21 store, there online store has gotten my full attention lately. If you don't already know, I'm pretty tall, 5'9 to be exact. However dresses from Forever usually look like shirts on my tall frame. However this midi dress trend they are all over is working out perfectly for me because all the dresses intended to hit most girls calves, hit my knees! Perfect length and great prices! I'm loving this hooded sweatshirt dress and this space-dyed one currently.

Lou & Grey

Shoes: Superga c/o Shopbop // Jeans: Loft // Tee: Lou & Grey // Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB medium tote c/o Shopbop // Sunglasses and Shirt: Target // Watch: Michael Kors // Fitbit

All these Lou and Grey pieces feel like pajamas. In fact since I bought them on a Thursday, I wore them immediately the next day for casual Friday at work. A pair of actually adorable "pajama jeans" paired with my fresh white Superga sneakers, made this the perfect comfy outfit. 

Shopbop Spring Sale Picks

In the market for some new spring pretties? Well Shopbop has got you covered. Lately they have been my go-to for all thing spring. My favorite hot pink new Ray Bans have been getting tons of wear even though its all kinds of icky still out there.

I've also been craving a pastel bag but also want a bold orangy red one too. Talk about inconsistent.  I know my need to carry my life in a tote is real, so I think this Rebecca Minkoff MAB tote in powder blue would be perfect for spring.

And since I'm always interested in a cute one-piece, this Tory Burch one above is pretty great and slimming too (bonus!) and comes to you in a perfect black and white combo which is my favorite paring as of late.
