Okay, I just spent the entirety of nap time trying to finish my big Charleston post, but I just couldn’t do it, haha. Bah! Too much to say and too many photos to choose from. ;) So check back in on Wednesday for that. I’m pretty excited!
Month Seven
Louise et Cie
Louise et Cie Mules (And love this similar bow pair! And this bow-backed sandal: ohmygoodness.) / Hudson Jeans / Cashmere Sweater (On sale! Only $49 — Such a steal for cashmere. Here’s the v-neck version.) / Similar Tortoise Necklaces Here, Here and Here / Nearly Identical Coat
This (late) post is entirely about Louise et Cie, because I’ve fallen in love with the brand over the last year.
Last Chance
Clare V. and Rag & Bone Jeans (White here) — This photo is from “Mitch’s Take on an Outfit Post,” haha!
It’s Saturday! Mitch is home and the sun is (kind of) shining and it’s family time. I missed Mitch and Emma so much while I was away that I put off work until super late this past week in order to spend more quality time with them… which resulted in my life falling apart, haha. But I scrambled during nap time yesterday and got SO much done, from cleaning and laundry to wrapping up a few projects and writing a couple of blog posts. (By the way, here’s yesterday’s post, which went up in the afternoon, and a post on Emma’s baptism, which also went up late.) There’s just nothing like a truly relaxing weekend at home. :)
In other news, today is the last day of the Shopbop sale. I know I wrote this post about some of my favorite products that are included, but I thought I’d throw together some additional finds I stumbled upon. So much great stuff that normally doesn’t get discounted! (Remember: use code “GOBIG17” to take up to 25 percent off your order; shipping is free.) So without further ado, here are some awesome sale picks:
The cutest tasseled mules on sale when you use code “GOBGIG17.” They come in black, too!
Off-the-Shoulder Nights
Lilly Pulitzer Top / Rag & Bone Jeans (Best white skinnies ever! And part of the Shopbop sale. Use code “GOBIG17” to take up to 25 percent off, and shipping is free. Here are some favorites. These are my favorite regular jeans, and I love this darker wash, too.) / Tory Burch Wedges / Longchamp Tote
Anyone else really struggle upon returning from an awesome trip? I just didn’t want vacation to end, haha. And now I’m behind on everything not because of the trip, but because I’m still in vacation mode. Get your act together, Kelly! That laundry is not going to do itself!
Emma’s Baptism
In case you missed yesterday’s post, I loved Charleston so much, guys. It’s all I’ve been able to think about, and I’ve been dreaming of visiting for a longer chunk of time next year. :) Today, though, I thought I’d finally share some photos from Emma’s baptism which happened a couple of weeks ago!
Charleston
Salvatore Ferragamo Pumps (On sale! Use code “GOBIG17” to take up to 25 percent off. Shipping is free! Also love the navy flats. Shop the rest of my faves from the sale here.) / Lilly Pulitzer Top (Other great white Lilly tops: one, two and three) / Goyard Tote / Hudson Jeans (But these are part of the Shopbop sale and they’re so similar! Use code “GOBIG17.”) / Moon and Lola Earrings c/o / Monica Vinader Friendship Bracelet c/o
What an amazing whirlwind! I spent the last several days in Charleston with my two best girlfriends from college, and it was absolutely lovely.
But wait: How about Amazon Web Services going down yesterday?! It caused a ridiculous number of websites to go down, and that included this one. ;) But we’re back! And here’s yesterday’s post, which is all about my favorites from the major Shopbop sale going on right now. What do you think about the new format?! I’m so excited!
Anyway, back to Charleston:
Recent Finds: Sale Edition
Salvatore Ferragamo on major sale! These are my go-to heels, as they’re low and insanely comfy yet easily dress out my looks. Use code “GOBIG17” to take up to 25 percent off Ferragamo. The heeled version is available in nude (pictured), blue, a Chanel look-alike style, black, pink and red (which I wear all the time during the holidays). The flats come in navy (swoon!), nude, black and red.
I’ve yet to write a post about the speedier site’s new features, but this is definitely one of my faves. Before the redesign, “Recent Finds” posts were pretty janky. (You can click through ’em and see what I mean!) Now, though, they’re a bit prettier and SO much easier to navigate. I’m really excited, haha. While the new site is super similar to the old one, it’s kind of been like rearranging furniture for me: same old stuff but whole new love for all of it. ;)
Before we get to it, though, some big news: the Shopbop sale is ON, and sale and full-priced products are eligible, and shipping is free! From now until March 4th at 11:59 PT, you can use code “GOBIG17” to take 15 percent off orders of $200+, 20 percent off orders of $500+, and 25 percent off orders of $800+. While Shopbop is usually on the pricier side, this is the BEST time to get products that don’t normally go on sale for a major discount. Here are my picks:
What Emma Wore During Chicago’s Heat Wave
As you know, last week was a dream. Temperatures were in the 60s and 70s, and we spent the majority of our time outside. It was truly like we were vacationing in our own city, but I’ll admit that Mitch and I weren’t exactly prepared for it. As we weren’t expecting warmer weather to grace us until April or May, we hadn’t purchased any springtime clothing for Emma, and our poor little girl was a little cranky on the first day of the heat wave as a result.
PAWS Chicago
Wearing: Navy Ruffled Top (So soft and cozy — Love this one and this one, too!) / Favorite Skinny Jeans
Who here loves puppies?
Mitch’s Take on an Outfit Post
Edit: Favorite jeans part of the Shopbop Sale, which ends today! (Here’s the white pair, which I’m obsessed with.) The leopard clutch is also included, as is the navy gingham, brown and pink ones.
Mitch here!
A quick note before we start: Kelly’s favorite jeans are part of the Shopbop Sale, which ends today. (Here’s the white pair, which she loves, too.) The leopard clutch is also included, as is the navy gingham, brown and pink ones.
Obviously, I think my wife dresses beautifully. But I freely admit that I have no idea why her outfits “work.” Because when you pick them apart, they can be pretty freakin’ weird. ;) And while I regularly photograph these outfits and remark on how beautiful Kelly looks, I usually just forget about ’em and go about my day after we’re done shooting. Why has it taken me four years to actually analyze this stuff?!
(Probably because I have zero interest in fashion. Ever read this post?)
