Happy Friday! Comin’ at you from my pajamas on my couch with a baby on my lap, but doesn’t this look lovely and like I totes have my act together all the time?!
Mitch was super interested in visiting Beverly Hills when we were out in California, so we spent a day driving through the hills, exploring the neighborhoods, and “shopping” on Rodeo Drive. I put that in quotes because come on. ;) It kind of puts Fifth Avenue to shame!
I wish I’d taken photos of the houses north of Sunset because they were TRULY insane. But I think I was too in shock to even think about picking up my camera. We just kept on shouting, “Look at THAT!” “Oh my god.” “Is that thing real?!”
Rodeo Drive was pretty interesting, too. Guys, the people watching. And we DID see a famous person! Although we have no idea who she was, and still can’t figure it out. (Bravo, Larkins.) But people were really freaking out.
Anyway, I probably wouldn’t want to live in Beverly Hills, but it was definitely something I’ll never forget. And I really enjoyed visiting the Ralph Lauren store. All the navy.
In other more down-to-earth news, I’ve now moved to the kitchen table to finish blogging while Emma loses her mind because she got up too early. (Don’t worry: Mitch is tackling the situation, haha. Thank goodness for his 9 a.m. start time at work!) So I apologize if this post doesn’t make much sense. BUT: My favorite gingham flats are 40 percent off today when you use code “4MOM.” They’re ridiculously comfy, and far better than other pairs I’ve tried! They run TTS and they have my highest recommendation.
They’re also like a millionth of the price of the typical shoes you’ll find on Rodeo Drive. ;)
Happy Weekend, all!

Kelly I just LOVE how relatable you are! I felt the exact same way when I was in LA & went to Rodeo- thanks for making me feel more normal- ha! PS- Your outfit is adorable and totes something I would wear this weekend! Need to order that top!
Awww, you’re the cutest, Gentry! Thank you! Yeaaaaah — I mean, it was very cool to see, but a little too far removed from reality for me. My favorite town was actually Newport Beach. LOVED THAT! Have a great weekend, Girl!! xoxo!
Gorgeous outfit! I am for sure ordering those shoes. They look so comfy and cute. I laughed so hard at you and Mitch not recognizing your celebrity sighting. It’s always hard to figure out who a famous person is when you see them in “the wild”. I don’t know why! I once sat next to Bill Murray at a restaurant on Martha’s Vineyard and had no idea it was him for almost an hour. It was my husband who figured it out.
Also, thank you so much for your baby product post this week. My almost 4-month old baby girl had a terrible restless sleep last night. I ordered the Merlin this morning and have my fingers crossed that it works for her!
BAH! That is so funny. I weirdly went to college with Bill Murray’s son but I never saw him, hahaha. (And I went to a tiny school.) And awww — thank you! I’m so glad you liked it. The Merlin suit is AMAZING. Let me know how it goes. It seriously changed our lives, and made Emma SO MUCH HAPPIER. Good luck tonight!! xoxo!!
I love how Emma’s little leggings match your outfit! You guys are too cute! I also love the navy, gingham and stripes you two are sporting!

Thank you so much, Caitlin! I always swore I wouldn’t be the mom who matches her kid’s clothing to hers, but I totally do it every day. ;) Have a great weekend!
Aren’t the houses out of this world?

I loved Rodeo Drive when we were in the US.
I did more window shopping than shopping ha ha.
This looks like the perfect comfortable outfit to walk around the shops though.
And of course – the perfect thing to cover up and go to dinner from here would be a Burberry Jacket!

I absolutely adore navy, so that top and the gingham shoes would be very much at home in my wardrobe! (Of course I love the whole look!) ~ Christa
