Aaaaand that’s a wrap for the Larkin Family! Mitch’s final products have been shipped out and I submitted and scheduled the last of my holiday projects. Emma even completed her remaining math assignments. We’re all ready for some serious quality family time, and we’re all so, so happy. ♥️ We did it, team! 😆

One of the brand American Giant’s most-loved women’s products is the No-BS Pant, and today I’m going to be reviewing the three styles!

One of the Larkin Family’s favorite holiday traditions is walking around Lincoln Park and admiring the holiday decor. People go all out; Chicago winters are hard but that garland and those twinkle lights really help with residents’ outlooks! Lately, Mitch and I have been trying to carve out a half hour or so on days when both girls are in school and do it on our own, too. We take Noodle or grab coffee on Armitage, and it’s the best way to start the day. Fresh air, uninterrupted husband/wife talks, and holiday cheer! ☺️
Girls’ Smocked Dresses / Girls’ Leather T-Bar Mary Janes / Women’s High-Neck Knitted Dress (Another great sweater dress is this Cable-Knitted Dress.) / Women’s Round Toe Stretch Boots / Women’s Leather Tote Bag
*Current Boden promotion: Enjoy up to 40% off selected styles, plus an extra 10% off using code EX10.*
The Larkins are Boden fanatics. And have been since 2016, when Emma was born. It was my mom who introduced me to the brand; she said that we finally had a little girl again, and therefore she would be needing all the cute Boden outfits. And so the obsession began. 😉
M.M.LaFleur Cashmere Lea Sweater (The McKenzie Sweater is also fabulous!), Finley Stretch Pants in Ribbed Cardigan Knit, and Zelda Boots (Look into the Nina Boots, too. They’re the taller version, and they’re on my wish list!)
**Use code “kellyinthecity15” to take 15 percent off your first full-priced M.M.LaFleur purchase through 12/31!**
Gammy and Pop-Pop wanted the girls for a couple of days of holiday fun, so Mitch and I were like, “Okay, fine” 😉, and headed to the Christkindlmarket right next to Wrigley Field in Chicago. It really got us in the spirit!
Mitch and I threw an impromptu holiday-themed birthday party for the girls’ friend Emily last night, and can I tell you how happy I was that I’d serendipitously set all of this up?!
Really happy. 😆
My plan was to photograph it in the morning and then pack it up and put it out again while hosting this coming weekend, but last night’s events were obviously even more fitting, and it couldn’t have worked out better! I mean, four kids, a holiday candy bar, and a gingerbread house/sugar cookie-making station? They were all ecstatic! (And a little hyper. But it’s Christmas. It’s fine. 😉)
Street Level Tote (Under $50! Makes for a great gift. Tuckernuck carries a great alternative.) (All Street Level Totes here.) / Similar Leopard Sweaters Here, Here, Here and Here / Velvet Leggings
This week flew by but I’m so excited about a little r&r with the family this weekend. Tonight, we have my cousin’s fiancé (who’s in town for a wedding) coming over, and on Saturday we’re going to field hockey and then meeting up with friends at night. Would also love to sneak in a family movie night or trip to Zoo Lights again, as Mitch missed the first visit!
Rounded up a lot of my recent finds—including a lot of home products—because it’s been a while! Here we go:
The season of giving has begun! Here are three wonderful causes I want to highlight:
Think you missed out on great weekend sales while you were relaxing with family and friends? Think again! 😆 Here are my still-on-sale favorites from my most-loved retailers:
Hooded Bear Coat / Blackwatch Plaid Flannel Skirt / Newer Shearling-Lined Boots in Toddler and Girls’ Sizes (These are great for toddlers, too!) / Knit Tights
My favorite Chicago Cub. 😉
(Took this photo this morning on our way to pre-school drop-off. I can’t tell you how much I wish Emma were in it so that I could use it for our Christmas card. Might try to recreate! 😂)
