Whoa. It’s been quite the week over here; feels like we’ve been go-go-go for ages. Nice to sit down at my computer, breathe and touch base with you guys!
Here are some updates/the first 10+ things that come to mind:
10+ Things, 4/12
Rainy Day Home Inspiration
We’re having a pretty rainy weekend here in Chicago so I thought it would be nice to share some cozy home photos I came across this week and loved.
Recent Finds, 4/10
Nearly Identical Sweater (Also love this one!) / Sperry Loafers (CRAZY comfortable! These Carvela loafers are just as comfortable, btw, and look a bit fancier. Love the stacked heel version, too. All three loafers are like walking on clouds. And all three are TTS.) / $48 Nordstrom Faux Leather Tote (So soft!) / Madewell Jeans (White version here.) / White T-Shirt / Initial Necklace (But loving this newer one so much! Would make for a great Mother’s Day gift.) / Ray-Ban Sunglasses
Oh hey, Friends!
The blog is a little out of order this weekend because I hosted Emma’s first real sleepover with her best friend, Walker. (Her parents are out of town so this was the perfect opportunity to test the waters!) It went GREAT. I’m so happy. It honestly made our Friday night a whole lot easier because Emma was so happy and entertained. Really hoping to make this a regular thing! I should also note that the girls are super into Taylor Swift, and we listened to “Love Story” approximately 200 times. My heart is full, haha. (And Mitch is about to explode.)
Anyway, here are this week’s Recent Finds:
Under the Oak Trees
Small Tote Bag and Mini Tote Bag (See all sizes here) / Liberty Dresses (Adult version here) and Headbands (Adult version here)
OAK TREES ARE SO PRETTY, GUYS. 😆
Cashmere Zip Hoodie
Cashmere Zip Hoodie (This cashmere pullover sweatshirt is beautiful, and here’s a more affordable cotton-cashmere pullover sweatshirt that looks great, too.) / 365 Stretch T-Shirt / Madewell Jeans / Initial Necklace (But loving this newer one so much! Would make for a great Mother’s Day gift.) / Madewell Crossbody / Ray-Ban Sunglasses / Rothy’s Washable Loafers
It’s been crazy warm in Chicago so I somehow got my act together to take some very casual outfit photos while out on a playground walk with Mitch and Lucy. :)
J.Crew Spring Favorites
High-Rise Demi-Boot Cropped Jeans / Liberty Headband (SO comfy!) and Scarf / Silk-Blend T-Shirt (Cashmere version here.) / Unstructured Ballet Flats / PrimaLoft Field Jacket / Tote Bag (See all sizes here) / Emma’s Liberty Dress (Adult version here) and Headband (Adult version here)
J.Crew—clearly my #1—is killing it this season! Spring is a tough time of the year in most areas of the United States. Even in Mississippi, we had some chilly days!
One in a Melon: Giant J.Crew Factory Sale
Women’s Watermelon Dress / Women’s Sneakers / Girls’ Watermelon Dresses / Girls’ Denim Jackets (Women’s version here, and in white here.) / Mommy + Me Bracelets / Girls’ Watermelon Bracelets / Girls’ Sunglasses / Men’s “New York” T-Shirt, Shorts and Slip-On Sneakers
Apologies in advance for how many photos I included in today’s post 😆 but they are without a doubt my favorites from our trip to Mississippi. 🍉 They were taken on “our” front porch. The weather was perfect, the music was blasting, the girls were giddy, and the plans were grand. (Playground and then dinner at an outdoor restaurant overlooking the Gulf of Mexico.)
And the outfits? The absolute cutest. :)
Exciting news: J.Crew Factory is having an epic sale right now, and there’s one day left to shop! Take 50 percent off everything (including new arrivals), and an extra 50 percent off the clearance section with code “GOODIES,” which is insanity!
10+ Things, 4/5
Bunny Sweatshirts / Tretorn Sneakers / Best White Jeans Ever / Striped Dudley Stephens Fleece / My Liberty Headband (SO comfy!) / Emma’s Liberty Headband / Emma’s Sneakers / Lucy’s Sandals (Newer)
Oh, hey! Jumping right in today:
Recent Finds, 4/3
Hill House Lesli Nap Dress / Hill House Ellie Nap Dress
I’m very much late to the party, but I bought my first Hill House nap dress! Friends have been raving about them for a while, and with spring just around the corner for Chicago (ha), I figured that it was time. :) The nap dresses can be worn from day to night (and some of them actually work as nightgowns, too). I’m pumped!
I went with the Lesli because I’m partial to sleeves, and if I like it, I may grab an Ellie dress when they’re restocked on April 14th. (Btw: Hill House apparently runs large! Carly—who is definitely a Hill House expert—advised to definitely size down. Hope that’s helpful!)
Scalloped Easter Baskets
Ballard Easter Baskets (Monogrammed in “Blush”) / Diamond Jute Rug / Lemon Wallpaper / Curtains / Harbour Cane Collection / End Table / Striped Sofa
It’s just about that time!
