Shirtdress (Also love this one and this one from the brand.) / Rothy’s Washable Sneakers / Lisi Lerch c/o
I’ve had my eye on this dress for a while now, and recently decided to order it for this trip. So glad I did!

Mitch and I are in New York for a few days for a blog project, and my parents are watching Emma and Lucy. While it’s hard to be away from them, they’re in the best hands, and we are having quite a lot of fun. ;)
Mitch and I celebrated our six-year anniversary last weekend, and I thought I’d share the Instagrams we put up during it. 😂 If you’d like to follow along with the Larkin Family adventures in real-time, find us on the ‘Gram here. :)
Two of our very best friends–Kira and Tom–recently had their first child, and we met her for the first time last week.
Guys! We did it!
I know we recently published “Tips for Flying with a Toddler” and we’ve flown approximately one zillion times with Emma, but I have to admit that I was VERY nervous about flying with two children.
I don’t know if you saw this “before” post, but it’s fun to compare to the two lead photos. I’m SO HAPPY with how Emma’s room is turning out!
Emma’s been learning about camping in peewee lately, and she’s gotten REALLY into it. At first, when I asked her whether she’d like us to take her camping, she crinkled up her nose in response and said, “I don’t like bugs. Or dirt.” And I had to hold back my laughter. ;) Like mother, like daughter, I suppose, haha! But she’s definitely come around to the idea, and while I’m not sure she (or Mitch and I, for that matter) are ready for a real camping trip quiet yet, pretend camping is right up her alley. 😉
SIX YEARS. And a decade since we started dating!

Guys! “Public Access” to the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale starts today at 12:30 p.m. EST/11:30 a.m. CST, and there are so many awesome in-stock products to shop. Above is what I think you shouldn’t miss, and below is my complete guide to shopping the sale. :)
Some favorites:
Oops. Forgot to include it in the above graphic. #winning ;) But it’s a favorite that I’ve owned for a few years. It’s super soft as well, and I love that it cinches around the waist. Size down; it runs large.
Get these! I feel like Tuckernuck made the faux leather legging look “preppy,” and I’m here for it. Both the Spanx and Commando pairs are awesome–insanely comfortable!–and you really can’t go wrong with either. The Spanx feature a longer fit and the Commando are ankle cut. (With Spanx, I did go up a size. I tried up to a large and honestly they all looked good–and about the same! So don’t stress too much about the size. They’re magic pants, haha.)
This sells out SO quickly every year so if you’re interested, I would purchase asap. The tote itself is amazing, too, and I love how awesome the red looks paired with navy stripes. When zippered, it looks just the original Le Pliage, but unzip and you have a MUCH bigger bag. This is fabulous for the girl who can never get her stuff back into her suitcase at the end of a trip. ;) Seriously: Why does this always happen to me?! I need expandable luggage, too.
I’m not the biggest high-waisted fan, but these were actually comfy on me. I went up one size. I love the amount of stretch that AG puts into their jeans. It’s just enough to make ’em super soft and comfy but not too much that they’ll lose their shape throughout the day. Bottom line: you can’t go wrong with any of the AG pairs that are included this year!
I tried on all the Barbour coats, and this one is my favorite! It features a similar cut to the classic Beadnell, but it has a beautiful floral lining that provides extra warmth and coziness, which is something the original does not have! I LOVE it. My biggest complaint with the classic Beadnell is that it isn’t the warmest. But so excited that I’ll be able to wear this one throughout the entirety of the fall! If you’re planning on buying this coat, note that it runs a little small. I’m wearing a U.S. 4 here (which is my normal Barbour size), but I think if there had been a U.S. 6 available, I would have gone with that. (See all Anniversary Sale Barbour products here.)
I just ordered this for my work trip to New York next week! I think it’s something I’ll be able to re-wear and re-wear. A classic, for sure!
The only lipstick I wear! It somehow punches up my look while still appearing natural.
The best curling iron to have ever existed. You’ll get those incredible curl-waves and they WON’T FALL OUT.
Again, I’m obsessed with Cole Haan shoes because they’re so well-made and they’re extremely padded/comfortable without looking it. ;) My old brown booties are destroyed so these were a must for me! So.Comfortable.
Leggings that are thick enough so you can wear ’em to work. I love mine! TTS.
My favorite sweater from the sale! The buttons down the arm are just too cute. It also comes in cashmere. I’m wearing a size XS here so I’d say it runs large and long.
Get this! I’ve had mine for years and it’s one of the softest articles of clothing in my closet. :) A great lounge/weekend top. It runs large. Size down.
Took these home with me a couple of days ago! They’re so cute, they feature just the right amount of stretch, and they’re perfect for weekends and/or “mommying.” I also love that they’re skinny but not skin-tight. They run TTS. Shop all Anniversary Sale AG jeans here.
I can’t lie: At the moment, dresses don’t look great on me postpartum, but BOY is it (finally) hot here in Chicago and I need a few that fit. This one really looked nice when I went up a size. (I wish it was an inch or two longer, but beggars can’t be choosers. 😉)
But let’s get to today’s giveaway! As a thank you for supporting our blog (and us!), we’re giving away $250 to shop the sale. To enter, all you have to do is:
