Happy Valentine’s Day, friends!
A few updates from the Larkin Family:
- We’re back in Chicago! After an amazing trip (sans kids) to Kansas City with Garmin, we’re home–despite the constant snowstorms in both cities–and it feels really good. I’m personally exhausted, haha, but I’m powering through to make sure that Emma’s Valentine’s Day is special. We spent last night making cards for her friends at school, and this morning, we’re hopefully surprising her with a fun little family celebration over breakfast.
- We’re leaving again! I know. We’re crazy. But this is our last trip of the month, and I’m really excited about it. As you know (or can imagine), it’s often difficult for families to get uninterrupted time together with everything they have going on. This afternoon, though, the whole Larkin Crew is headed to Columbus for a kid-focused long weekend! I’m extremely grateful to the city for the opportunity and all they’ve set up for us, and I’m looking forward to both recharging our batteries and also have a ton of fun together. Follow along on Instagram Stories!
On to this week’s Recent Finds:
Have you heard of Sarah Flint? I’m obsessed. The brand sent me a couple of pairs of their shoes and they’re so perfectly classic and preppy–and I’m totally obsessed. How cute is this croc-embossed pair of heeled loafers?! Definitely on my wish list!
I went for these adorable bow flats. So timeless, and love that they go with both casual and more formal looks!
While I was out in Kansas City with Garmin, I spent some time with bloggers who are far more fashionable than I am. ;) I was swooning over their bags, and I found myself going back to this one, which you might remember I was obsessed with for a long time, haha. I love it in red, too!
WHO HAD THESE IN MIDDLE SCHOOL? They’re apparently back and better than ever… and I’m here for it.
YES TO THIS. It’s so much better on person, too. Runs large. Be aware. ;)
Do you see the striped liner?!
My scalloped sweater is back! It’s adorable. I would recommend going up a size.
This is in my cart and I’m so excited about it! I intend on wearing it with black or white t-shirts or camisoles underneath. Note: It runs large. Size down.
I have this in leopard from last year, and I can’t tell you how many compliments I receive when I wear it! Get it! I went up one size.
Do you see the bow?!
Solid Chanel lookalikes.
This comes in a bunch of colors, and imagine myself walking the coast during the early hours of the morning in it. What?
Factory finally came out with a good tote!
I adore the cut of these khakis. Isn’t it funny how trends resurface? I feel like I owned these in seventh grade, and later swore NEVER AGAIN. And yet here we are…
Boom. Into the cart. So cute.
Here’s the scalloped top again! Wrinkle-resistant and 100-percent machine-washable.
My bow jeans in white! I can’t get enough.
I need a new laptop case and love that this would match my baby bag! Two thumbs up for the padding, too.
For cosmetics! Matchy matchy.
My backpack is back in stock! This is what I use while traveling with the girls. I still do have the baby bag, but this is great for when I really need to be hands-free.
THEY IMPROVED THE TOTE! Now it has a ton of pockets and an exterior slot that you can slide your carry-on handle through. It’s a must for anyone who travels often or is a parent.
Love that spring stuff is coming out while we’re experiencing a solid week of snowstorms. I’m enjoying it, though.
I’m on the search for the perfect jersey/knit white button-down. I love the look of button-downs underneath blazers and sweater dresses and whatnot, but I need something cozier and warmer. Saw this one on Anthro and thought it looked good!
I ended up buying this one, though. Haven’t received yet, but you can find it via Amazon, Zappos, Bloomingdales and Michael Stars.
The lace. Swoon.
FAVORITE DARK WASH JEANS EVER. You’ll thank me later. Get them. (Super stretchy and soft yet maintain their shape throughout the day.) TTS.
Here they are in black! I’m intrigued.
And here’s the pull-on version.
LOVE this pair of jeans.
Love this one, too.
I wore this dress on Captiva and received so many questions and compliments! Tons of people asked to take our family photo, too. Very confident that it was the giraffe dress, haha!
Wore this one, too. Not sure if the printed is supposed to be hydrangeas, but that’s what I think about when I wear it, so we’re going with it. LOVE.
Lilly, you nailed it. This is fantastic!
The sweetest sweater. Oh summer, I miss you.
The croc-embossed leather!
The Kiltie design!
They’re on sale. Finally. VERY excited about this pair of pants! Intend on wearing them with a striped button-down, too. ;)
