currently loving

Today I wanted to share seven of my favorite items that I am currently loving. I own all of these items and really do love them all!

 The sequin clutch adds the perfect touch of sparkle to any outfit. The Kendra Scott earrings are my go-to when I need a quick pop of color. The gray tote bag is my favorite purse right now. The color seriously just goes with anything and the bag is perfectly roomy without being too big. The cardigan is so cozy and amazing quality for the price! The boots are extremely comfortable... so comfortable that I can wear them for hours on end without any discomfort. The Naked eye shadow palette is a must have. I use it every single day. The nail polish is super cheap in price but amazing in quality. It dries incredibly fast, the shape of the brush is perfect, and it comes in so many gorgeous color options.

september favorites

So long, September. 

September flew by the same way I feel every month seems to. We were busy adjusting to Julianna being a kindergartner and Olivia started preschool. Julianna has learned so much already- I'm amazed and Olivia is loving her preschool class. Josh and I were able to have not one but two date nights this month thanks to his parents taking care of our babies. I forgot how important those times alone together are to just to simply reconnect and laugh together. We were able to go to a wine festival and the Zoo to Do event at the North Carolina Zoo. This month, we visited Pilot Mountain for a family hike too. This week, I started back to work for training and I'm so excited for the 2015-2016 year at The Dream Center. I'm excited for one of my favorite months of the year, getting back to work, pumpkin everything, sweaters, and snuggles with my family. 

Getting dressed during the early fall days in North Carolina can be a challenge. It can be really cool in the morning and then 80 degrees by 2pm. I also really wanted to wear many of my cooler weather pieces so I ended up with flannel and shorts as well as a dress with booties. 

Welcome, October.

august favorites

August, you are coming to an end. It was a busy month {as always} for our family. We traveled to Oak Island for a long weekend. I have been planning up a trip back there in my head. I can't wait to visit again- it's so beautiful! The biggest event this month was definitely our biggest little one starting kindergarten. Am I really old enough to have a kindergartener?! Wow. The years seem to just fly by but trust me, the days can be quite long with a three year old and a five year old. 

My style was full of pops of color this month with kind of a boho vibe in all of these picks. Tassels, pom poms, flowy dresses + skirts, and long beaded necklaces are what I was loving this month. The mornings are cooling off a little here so I know fall is on it's way. I might have to put away the sandals but I won't put away the colorful accessories.

fashion: Friday Favorites

Happy Friday! It's been a good week here. Busy but good. I have been busy baby shower prepping and I am so excited to put it all together. It's a nautical themed baby shower for my friend/boss and her upcoming baby girl. I can't wait to share of all of the details of the shower. It's going to be a busy weekend!

Now it's time for your weekly dose of Friday Favorites. I own the shoes and love them. They are a little brighter and more neon in person. They are so comfortable and cute so I would definitely recommend them. Everything else is wishlist items that including pearls, floral, and more bright colors. I love the shorts but they are sold out so I linked a similar pair that I love equally. Check out the links for more information and to purchase these goodies for yourself.

Have a great weekend!

fashion: Good Friday + Friday Favorites

Today is Good Friday and before I share my Friday Favorites, I have to share a verse with you. Good Friday is the day that Jesus died on the cross for us. It's such an important day in history. The scripture below is one of my very favorite ones. Read it and reflect on it today. Thank You for the ultimate sacrifice.

Our weather today isn't springlike again. It's overcast with cool temperatures. Tomorrow isn't looking pretty either. But I am still dreaming dresses, sandals, shorts, and floral print. Old Navy is currently have a great sale so the dress and bag even less than what I paid for them. I love a good sale!
