Straw and Circle Bags

This really is the biggest trend I've seen in a long time. And like any good trend it will pass. so why not grab an affordable option of this new circle bag trend instead of investing the big bucks?

I'm telling you now, these will sell out! Many already have and some are even on Pre-order only! Almost all of these are under $75 so scoop one up fast and be ready to rock this trend when the weather warms up. Ready? Go!

Coming to you very quick as I write this on a school night. My Family was in from Chicago and we had a busy but fun weekend in Park City. I think I have the energy to even write this at all because Athena slept for 17 hours last night! I'm not exaggerating! We took her with us tubing and I think we wore her out. I'm not complaining.

I'm starting to get really excited about spring for obvious reasons but the other is that I'm FINALLY loosing some weight. It's been a really hard battle to figure out what works for me since having Athena. After always being pretty successful eating mostly whole 30 recipes, and then it not working for me AT ALL post baby. I realized I'd make a recipe that needed vegetables added to complete it and then I'd wind up just eating the protein part and not have time to cut up and prep all the veggies. Anyone who's done a whole 30 knows the prep work is a beast. 

Finally my doctor suggested just using all that I learned from Whole 30 like what foods make me feel bad and then just counting calories. And after a month it's working! I'm down about 14lbs! I use the My Fitness Pal App and it's super easy! I'm not where I want to be yet but I'm going with slow and steady for now.

So as I said I'm excited for spring because of bare legs and pretty dresses like this one here but also for buying clothes in smaller sizes and shopping my own closet of things that used to fit prebaby! I even went and exchanged a bunch of stuff for smaller sizes today and it felt so good!

This dress and all others at Target are buy one get one 50% off so if you want to get some new cute dresses for spring, now is a great time to do so. 

Have a great Monday all!

Winter to Spring Style

Moto Jacket: Old Navy// Loafers: Coach (these ones are on sale for $97. I love the olive!) // Linen pants: Free People "Wild Coast" pants (sold out but similar linked below) // White Sweater: H&M

Well hi there! It's been awhile. I feel like all my posts in the last year seem to start like that. Time escapes me every day so I'm pretty darn happy that my pal Sandy and I could meet up (with the kiddos at daycare) and take some outfit photos. Guys. It's been too long. I pretty much forgot how to smile, walk and look at a camera.

This is the look I wore to school yesterday and it was mighty comfy. I picked up these linen pants last summer at the Shopbop sale and haven't worn them much since, until today. I must have gotten 5 compliments on them at school so they are teacher approved.

I think my most worn pairs of shoes are my driving loafers and I'm partial to my Coach loafers that I have in white and gold. I remember being so hesitant about buying both pairs but years later they are still my go-tos for comfy on-my-feet-all-day shoes.

This knit moto jacket looks like suede but happens to be really soft stretchy knit material. It was so popular last Fall that they re released it in 7 new colors! Great price point as well. I may need to pick it up in another color. Bonus that it comes in tall sizes as well.
