Emma’s wearing: Jumping Beans Shorts, Tank (So many other preppy patterns here!) and Top (Other patterns here) c/o
I’m wearing: Levi’s Jeans and T-Shirt (Also love this one.) / Converse Sneakers / Patchwork Top / Keds Sneakers c/o
This is my favorite blog post of the year! No, I’m not dressed to the nines, and no, the background isn’t anything to ooh and ahh over. But it’s the perfect depiction of my “everyday,” and the best part, no doubt.
Gingham Sneakers c/o / Similar Jeans Jeans / Striped Top / Old Scarf / Tote
Happy Memorial Day! While the Larkin Family is currently on the Jersey Shore, I shot this look in Chicago last week and thought it would be the perfect look for the blog today. :) I hope you’re sporting your red, white and blue today… and remembering those who gave their lives to protect us.
Bow Sweater in Navy and White (20 percent off with code “SUMMER”) / Gingham Shirt (On sale!)
There are a TON of great sales today. But I thought I’d focus on three:
Draper James Dress (Top version here. Also love this one and this one.) / Kiltie Slides / J.McLaughlin Straw Satchel c/o (Also love this one and this one) / Tuckernuck Hat c/o (It’s packable and back in stock!) / Crate & Barrel Striped Bowls / Kiel James Patrick Tote c/o / Kate Spade Bowl / Ray-Ban Sunglasses / Emma’s Dress (We also have this one, this one and this one!) / Mitch’s Button-Down Similar Here, Here (on sale!) and Here
Now that the weather has warmed up, we take every chance we get to picnic once Mitch gets home from work. It’s so much fun. Yes, it takes some work to get everyone out of the house with everything we could possibly need. (From blankets, toys, baby food and spare diapers to snacks, wine, corkscrews, plates, bowls and utensils… we need it all.) But it’s beyond worth it. We’re completely removed from the distractions of everyday life and we’re able to soak up the last couple of hours of daylight together. So special.

Oh my goodness. I can’t even tell you how great it feels to be on the Shore! Friday was a work day, but yesterday was pure fun. We walked to breakfast/lunch, drank coffee on the front porch for hours, had a huge lobster dinner, and walked the boardwalk. My Aunt Michelle and Uncle Chris actually drove from Long Island to visit for a couple of days, too, so that’s been awesome. :) And today, my brother, Patrick, is driving in from Philly. So great to have so much family in one place!
Hello from Ocean City, New Jersey! I can’t believe we made it. I don’t have a ton of photos to share from OC yet since we just arrived yesterday (at 3 a.m. because of delays), but here are this week’s mini updates and snaps:
Striped Swing Top c/o (Also can’t WAIT to wear this one! Eeeee!) / Skinny Jeans (Excited to try this similar pair soon, too.) / Quilted Tote Bag (Larger size here. Backpack here.) / Vineyard Vines Hat c/o (Sold out, but these are my FAVORITE hats, and they’re back in stock!) / Scalloped Sandals (The light brown version is on major sale! The gold is on sale, too. More affordable version here!)
Yes, the Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale is in full-swing, but I’m taking a little break from that today (haha!) for something exciting: the striped swing top is BACK! Though you can see some of my faves from the Nordstrom sale here, and this is a fun post about what I tried on at the physical store on Michigan Avenue! Anyway, I’ve received so many messages asking about the swing top that I thought I’d write a post about everything you need to know about it. :)
Even more exciting: Now through Monday, May 29th, you can take 20 percent off your Tuckernuck order of $200 or more with code “SUMMER.” Yay! Shop my favorites above.
Striped Top (On sale!) / Similar sale tops here and here
Anyway, on to the above photo:
LOVE this top. It’s definitely oversized, so be sure to size down. (I’m wearing a small, but really need an XS.) But I love how it falls. Also, it’s supposed to be loose around the arms. So know that before you order it. :) I personally love the look! (And grrrr… Where are my white jeans–on sale—when I need ’em?!) Above are some of my other sale favorites from the brand (as well as some similar-looking tops). I love this chambray top, this similar off-the-shoulder top, this chambray jumpsuit, and this lace dress.
On to the next photo!
Barbour on Sale (This is the one I’m wearing, but the version that’s on sale is SO close!) // White Skinny Jeans / Btw: All Hunters on major sale!
A quick note: The Wednesday Motherhood Series has been pushed back to Thursday this week. Tune in tomorrow for a post about how Mitch and I maintain our marriage as new parents!
There will definitely be a lot of sales occurring this weekend. The Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale, though, is always my favorite. (Now through June 4th, you can take up to 40 percent off a huge selection of merchandise.) I went through most of it last night and picked out my faves, and I’ll be adding to this post throughout the course of today. Be sure to check back (and check back often!) for updates. :)
Okay! Here are some of my faves:
Mar Y Sol Tote (Also available here. Similar styles here, here, here, here, and here.) / Barbour Jacket c/o (Also love this one, which is the same cut but way warmer. And this one is a bit more affordable.) / Hudson Jeans (On MAJOR sale! This is my other go-to pair.) / Red & White Striped Top (On sale! This one is great, too!) / Monogrammed Jack Rogers c/o / Tuckernuck Hat (Back in stock!) / New Sunglasses! (It’s a miracle!)
Mar Y Sol is available at Nordstrom, Tuckernuck and Shopbop
If you read Mitch’s hilarious post yesterday, you know we were in Michigan City over the weekend with Kira and Tom. It was beyond nice. Guys, we had dinner at a table in the sand outside the house. Pottery Barn-style. Sure, it started pouring in the middle of it all, but I’ll never forget it.
