Note: In case you’re coming over from Instagram, here is the last post I did on Emma’s room! Need to post photos of it now that it’s completed, but most links are here. :)

I’ll start by saying this: Emma’s a year or two away from being an actual tween. In her heart, though, she’s there. 😉 Yes, she still loves a lot of “little girl” stuff. But she also loves sleepovers, Zara, graphic novels, texting, dance parties, gaming, makeup, tween YouTube stars, Harry Styles and Taylor Swift. (Though probably not as much as her sister. IYKYK)

Hill House Nap Dress Review

Hill House Eyelet Nap Dress (And I just ordered the hydrangea skirt!) / Hill House Tiny Girls’ Nap Dress (Teen size here; adult size here; short adult size here!) / Hill House Artemis Dress

It’s about time I reviewed the famous Hill House Nap Dress on the site!

Nantucket is very special to me, as so many family members have resided on the island over the years. It’s where I introduced Mitch to them, where I brought Emma as a baby, and where both my girls were flower girls in Sammy’s wedding. 💕 So to wear Hill House (which has a storefront on ACK) with my daughters makes my heart swell… especially since their dresses feature a Nantucket-inspired hydrangea print!

Happy Hour in the Mille Victoria Dress

Mille Victoria Dress / Jack Rogers Padded Sandals / Dana Rebecca Necklace

I was off the color wagon for quite the long time, but I suppose the combination of my parents’ brightly colored home and them summer temps in Chicago helped me get right back on. 😉 All in, Friends. All in!

Hello from Rosemary Beach, Florida! We flew down for the long weekend because—so exciting!—my parents closed on their retirement home there. 💕

My brother-in-law watched the girls yesterday so Mitch and I could check out to the new Joss and Main store outside of Chicago in Oakbrook and grab lunch afterwards. We don’t get to do that kinds of thing very often, so it was really lovely—and the girls had an absolute blast. :) Thank you, John! You’re the best.

The outfit I wore is tied with this one for favorite of the season! Here’s what you should know:
