Gibson Fall Collection Launch: CITY SAFARI

August 20, 2019

The latest fall collection from GibsonLook is launching on Nordstrom today! I am always so excited when a new collection comes out because I LOVE all the pieces, every time! I feel like I might say that every time I have a blog post featuring the new collections, but is SO true. The last Hi! Sugarplum collection left me wanting ALL THE COLOR, and who can forget the Resort Collections?!

This latest fall collection is just as good, easy pieces that have a TON of sizing options, its the perfect #fancycasual options to add to your fall wardrobe. The colors and fit are a perfect combination for end of summer and beginning of fall!

As a reminder of all sizes, I wear a L in all Gibson Clothing — My normal sizes are 10/12 and tops are M/L.

I hope you enjoy and LOVE the collection as much as I do! Can’t wait to see how you style it!

Look of the Day: Fringe Wide Leg Pants

June 28, 2019

Checking out more trending items on Walmart.com, loving what I have found lately and this outfit is SO perfect for summer nights and its SO comfy! I love these particulars styles I found, they are easy comfy and affordable. I think the inspiration for today’s look was for an easy summer look, that kind of with that California Desert Vibe.

Can we talk about these fun pants?! Love having other options from a dress that are not denim! The pants fit true to size and have the most fun fringe on them, with a stretchy waist! The tank I have on is a nice high neck, flattering and also super soft. Comes sold in a two pack, such a great deal to stock up on! Topped it with a straw summer bag, and the look is complete! Love being able to combine great basics together, that make a great upscale look.

White Tank and Bandana

July 5, 2018

Hi Friends!

I am having a great holiday week and I hope you are as well! Recently I offered a giveaway and in return asked for new ideas for the blog! The winner chosen asked for more casual style, and I thought this look was perfect for this! It’s really super simple, but I added the bandana for a little trendy twist! You probably have so many of these particular items already in your closet. but if you don’t or need to update a few items, I have included a roundup near the bottom of the post of exact and similar items for you to make this look your own!

THE OUTFIT: This is a great look for everyday casual in the hot summer days. The tank and denim cutoffs are basically a wardrobe staple, but adding the bandana and knotting the front of the tank— gives it a trendy twist! I picked the gladiator sandal just to style it up a bit more!

If you’re new to the bandana style, and you’re not sure how to add it to your daily look- be on the lookout on my stories! I will show you how I style a bandana in my favorite ways!

As always, thank you for stopping by and I can’t wait to see how you try this trend and look for yourself!

First Day of Summer with Navy and White

June 21, 2018

Happy First Day of Summer Friends!

I hope you all have been enjoying your summer break so far! Baseball is nearly at the end, I’m sad but at the same time I am excited to have more room in my schedule! I am planning to head over to the pool a bit more for sure!

Today’s outfit is simple, but a little out of the normal for me. The reason is that I am a typical “Wear Black” or “Black is my Happy Color” type of girl. My taste has been changing slightly, in that I am open to more navy blue options. Personally, I think that navy has a nice “summer black” feel, it’s forever classy but also still relaxed. My Navy and White outfit here is a perfect example of the classic simplicity. Here I paired my go – to white capri length denim with the cutest navy blue t-shirt top. I added a fun little spin to it with the pop of color on the jewelry!

My denim is super versatile and has a great amount of stretch to them. They don’t lose their stretch they remain super comfortable! Now the t-shirt is a definite “outfit maker”. It was an easy choice for me at the store not only because it was comfortable, but the sleeves add just enough interest that you don’t really need anything else to add to the outfit!

My jewelry, is a showstopper on it’s own, this summer color is AMAZING! I have had my cocktail ring for a while from Mother’s Day, but I added a few more pieces to my collection and I could not be happier. These pieces are great on their own with simple dresses too! They are super versatile, terrific quality and are great gifts too!

I have everything here linked below, I encourage you to check out the pieces, and try out the Navy and White look for yourself! Thank you so much for stopping by!

I would love to see how you style it!

Spring Transition Outfit

May 6, 2018

Well Spring… you have arrived. We have been soaking up the sun so much and today is just no different! I hope you are all enjoying your weekend as well! I know we are all gearing up for a fun May- with Mother’s Day and Graduations just around the bend!

Today’s outfit, features some great layering pieces that are perfect for transitioning. These months so so funny, and If you follow me on stories at all, you know I have been a habitual changer- of clothes- several times a day! Ha! Layering though is key, and this navy blazer is one of my favorites! It has a great shape to dress up your outfit, but the material keeps it casual. 🙂 The Pineapple Tee is so fun and cute, and the pineapples are metallic! Fun graphics are always a win for me. My Sneakers were my go-to shoe on vacation, they were so comfortable, if you are in the market for a white tennis shoe- look no further friends! Keds are on the way back!

You can find all my outfit details linked below, as a reminder if you would like to shop anything in store, come shop with me THIS THURSDAY at our local EVEREVE Store. I would love to see you there. All the details are below as well.

Mother’s Day and a special invitation!

April 29, 2018

Hello Friends!

Gosh, the weather seems to be turning in the right direction for us lately! When I shot these photos the other day- you know I was very happy to have nice weather! Typically for Mother’s Day our family with schedule brunch and I will take my mom to the Blowout Bar to get our hair styled. This year with baseball ruling all our weekends, we are taking the year off of our normal tradition. I celebrated with my Mom on Friday with a little shopping and wine tasting. We had a great time and it was fun to try something different!

Something else I have planned before Mother’s Day and I am VERY excited about is that I have planned a Style Social with EVEREVE. You all know how much I love shopping in their store so I thought it would be so FUN to have you come shop with me! This is a fun opportunity to bring the girls out and have some fun!

My recent Try On Session is total swoon worthy, who wouldn’t want a little girls time to get you prepped our big weekend! Come hang out with me and let’s shop together!

The details of the event are in the graphic at the bottom of this post!

I hope to see you soon!

One of my recent purchases at EVEREVE and it’s quickly becoming one of my favorites. These joggers are so easy to wear, soft, somewhat stretchy, mid rise and are totally on trend with the rust color. You can’t go wrong with monogram necklaces, and especially for Mother’s Day- I am wearing the monogram of my boys- one for each. Do I even need to go any further with the camouflage? Didn’t think so. 🙂

My 5 Must Do Items at Disney

April 2, 2018

Our most recent trip to Disney, was no doubt one of our favorites. It is always amazing just to have experiences together and bond at one of our most favorite resorts that we get to call home. We have been Vacation Club Members for several years, and it has been one of the best decisions we have ever made!

Of course in our travels we have explored LOTS of things in the parks! Though we haven’t seen it all, we definitely have our favorites.

Here’s MY Top 5 Tips:

Hang out by the Pool: The Grand Floridian is one of the most beautiful resorts in Orlando, and we enjoy EVERY Minute! We take full advantage of all the children’s games, beach and relaxation time when we aren’t at the park! The boys absolutely love hanging out there, and its just a great time take a break and enjoy the sun! I know a LOT of you liked my SUIT- so I linked it for you below.

My Swim Outfit: Swimsuit : Tortoise Sunglasses : Black Swim Coverup : Hat

2. Magic Kingdom’s Dumbo Ride: When the boys were little, this is one of the rides we ALWAYS took them on, and now the tradition continues! This is really just out of nostalgia, but we all still enjoy it together!

2. Magic Kingdom’s Pineapple Whip: We LOVE enjoying a Pineapple Whip in the hot Florida sunshine at Magic Kingdom. For those that don’t know- its a Sherbet style treat that is PINEAPPLE! 🙂 and OMG is it GOOD! We always do our best to stick in the line (which sometimes can be loooong) at Aloha Aisle at the park, but I have just learned there are other locations now!

4. A Picture in Front of the Castle: Sounds cliché, I know. BUT I will tell you it has been so fun to look back after each visit and see how much the kids have grown! And if you haven’t been, let me tell you- it’s a site to behold. So many childhood movies and dreams have been wrapped around that castle and it does FEEL magical to see it. You just can’t resist taking the photo Op.

5. WEAR YOUR EARS!… Ok, this one is more for the Moms instead of the kids. Wearing my Ears, wasn’t JUST because they were rose gold.. although I mean.. THEY ARE AWESOME! First, the boys loved when I wore them…Kinda like that time we dressed up as The Incredibles for Halloween.. 🙂 Ha. But I kind of felt like it’s a way to let loose. Of not being so serious and in kind of an unintentional way, they help me say ‘Yes’, to more and let go of what others might think… That might be a deep way of thinking about silly ears, but I guess that’s what they do for me. I let go of all the ‘stuff’ and just put on the Darn Ears and have fun! After all, I can’t just wear them everyday at home, so why not? Just do it.

As always thanks for stopping by, and if you are going on a trip sometime soon, I hope you share it with me!

Easy Easter Outfit

March 24, 2018

Since Ohio is pretty darn unpredictable when it comes to the weather at Easter, I don’t typically get to wear all those super cute dresses. However that doesn’t mean that I don’t like to dress springlike! Most of the time my Easter Sundays are spent just like any other Sunday, struggling to get everyone out the door, but with the added potential egg hunt and of course brunch. So Mama gets to look forward to her Mimosa for sure!
The Celebration of Easter, means so much to my me and my family and I don’t like to disappoint. I want to give my best and I can’t be worried about my outfit, comfort is a MUST. My outfit is always on my mind, because I need something that is going to be seasonally appropriate, and fun but MOST importantly- functional!

The Outfit:

What I’ve decided to wear will combine all the things. My Pink Top was chosen from a recent Try On session. My shoes are functional and can be easily worn for several outfits (similar here). This ankle pant is an interesting twist on a typical black pant.

Spring Getaway: My Must Have Outfit Roundup

March 9, 2018

My Spring Break Style Shopping Guide has been out for a bit, and I recently had the pleasure of being able to spend time with my family in sunny San Clemente, California. My brother and his family recently moved to Camp Pendleton, so we enjoyed seeing his new home and hanging with all my nieces and nephew. My boys were super excited, but just like any time I travel with them, I have a decent sized list of stuff to bring with us!

Here’s what I packed and wore on my trip:

Breakfast Outfit/Early morning outfit.. Not Pajamas :)… Sounds high maintenance, I know, but when the boys wake up they are READY TO EAT.. and I’m not always ready to roll for the day… And when we stay in a hotel – it’t not always easy to make food –So I always pack an easy to throw on outfit, that aren’t my pajamas.. that I can feel comfortable going out out in public in.

This outfit was easy to throw on and I felt somewhat put together when I was at the restaurant. AND YES.. I wore it everyday at breakfast 🙂

2. Workout Outfit: Ya’ll know Mommin’ ain’t easy… And traveling with kids is not an exception. I usually TRY to workout 2-3 while on vacay– I did once on this trip.. So in that case, I used my workout clothes for the obvious reasons… BUT for a potential DOUBLE USE— I always have this for the unexpected Sh*t Show–Weather, attitudes and activities can all make a big play for me… and when I just don’t have time for my mules… Workout clothes to the rescue. 🙂

My Nike Metcon have been terrific, easy for actually working out– or chasing after kids. — And my black workout capris– I mean.. Duh. 🙂

3. Casual Shopping Outfit: One of my favorite things to do while on vacation… besides site seeing, hanging with family, beaching, going to the candy store… (like we did nearly everyday) or eating…. I mean do you know me at all? 🙂 *wink*… is shopping. So I always need an outfit that can be worn to walk around and just hang. Actually, it can be worn for all of the above.:)

Hayden helped take many photos: And my Graphic Tee + Bomber Jacket + <3[/caption] [caption id="attachment_599" align="aligncenter" width="593"] fullsizeoutput_4574 I absolutely love this color combo- its my one pop of color that I NEEDED on this trip.

TOP PACKING PIECE OF ADVICE:

Bring items with you that you can mix and match. You can plan all you want – but sometimes you just have to go with it. So by bringing items with you that can be worn more than onetime, AND they color coordinate- will really help take the stress away from traveling.

Finally: Don’t sweat it. Go Have Fun. Get Dirty. Go to the Candy Store.

Don’t let the little things get in the way. They are only this old once, and you’ll never get them back at this EXACT time. Take your picture with them, and love on them only the way a Mama can.

Show me your pictures when you get back!
