Spied: Beige Short Sleeve Floral Print Zip Back Blouse

January is the awkward time in fashion where we want it be spring but it's still snowing outside. One of my favorite things to do in anticipation of spring is start adding brighter colors and florals in with warmer layers.

I saw this top and fell in love.



Here are a few other pretty floral blouses for spring (all under $25!)


I completely adore the print on that first blouse.

How do you like to transition your wardrobe from winter to spring?

Spied: Sequin Pencil Skirt


I do not have any occasion to wear sequins this new years eve - I don't know that I have ever had a reason to wear sequins on new years. This in no way keeps me from wanting all the shiny things. I found this skirt and thought I would share because it's a sequin skirt that isn't mini for under $25 - tough to find, I can tell you.



Here are a few other shiny things that would be a great addition to any wardrobe:

Sequins Jacket (major sale)

Postpartum Style: Madeline


I didn't write a post on postpartum style before I had Simone because I did it all wrong when I had Tate. I looked sloppy & lumpy & felt like it too. It's been a much better experience for me this time around & I wanted share a few of my favorite tips.



ponte blazer (own it & love it hard)
tall shaft boots (major sale)

It's important to get a pair of basic pants that work for your body post baby. I prefer a jegging with a fly & back pockets. They give the look of a polished skinny jean with all the forgiveness spandex has to offer.

If I could give one piece of advice, this would be it: Woven tops are your friend. The very last thing a postpartum body needs is clingy fabric. Get something with a pretty pattern that floats away from the body. If you are breastfeeding, having a button front is a bonus for ease of access.

Invest in a ponte blazer. It gives the look of structure (including the look of a defined waist, even if you don't yet have one) with the added benefit of mobility.

Nursing necklaces are a great way to add something extra to your outfit without worrying if baby will ruin it.

Cognac knee high boots are a must in any wardrobe. They are ridiculously versatile & will last forever.

Sponsored: Amazon Prime


We have been attempting a year with no cable, mostly just to see if we could do it. We've been living off of broadcast stations, netflix, and hulu plus. It's been going pretty well, but there are some gaps in programming that have finally gotten to me. I've been desperately seeking kids shows that Tate actually wants to watch, all things HGTV, and a few more 90s dramas to binge on.


Between the decent selection of HGTV shows and a fantastic array of Mister Rogers, I have been really pleased so far. And, of course, prime comes with free 2 day shipping and access to kindle books.


The best thing is you can sign up for a free 30 day trial before committing to the year subscription.

I think I've finally found the perfect peplum top (on sale!)
This hair and makeup is to die for.
Loving these wine colored skinnies.
This necklace is the prettiest.
I am listening to this new album on repeat.

We'll be spending the weekend trying to get a handle on Christmas shopping. 
Do you have any weekend plans?

Must Have: Navy Blazer


I've been saying it for years, literally, that I need a good blazer. I know this one would be amazing. If only I could justify the price.



Here are a few budget friendly blazers that could fill this gaping hole in my wardrobe:


Velvet Blazer - $31.99 (orig. $39.99)
Collarless Ponte Blazer - $20.99 (orig. $34.99)
Oxford Blazer - $34.99 

I love the collarless blazer and the price. I actually think I might find my way to Target to try it on in person - because a blazer has got to really fit or it won't get worn.

Spied: Red Shirt Dress


One of the things I miss the most while I am breastfeeding, is wearing dresses. I've been on the hunt for a perfect dress for the cooler weather that can still give me the flexibility to feed the babe. I think I found it.


Calvin Klein Solid Henley Shirt Dress - $49.99 (Orig. $99.50)

I think it would be fabulous with these black tights & brown booties.

Here are a few other shirt dresses (all under $50)I think would make a great addition to your winter wardrobe:

This Week


I got a sneak peek of the family pictures we took last week and I couldn't love them more. I will do a full post on them when I get them all back.



Here are a few links to take you into the weekend:

I'm kicking myself for not snagging this skirt from Anthro last week.
I am loving this faux bob & would love to give it a try.
It's have an itch for a new bag (though I don't really need one).
I am fascinated by this new shop
new coat means in new scarf, right? 
I'd love a new blazer and am loving this discounted option.
This is a great tutorial on tailoring a too-large dress.

We are hitting up the art gallery stroll & trying to finish getting our house ready for Christmas. What are you up to this weekend?

Snowy days mean boots on the mind. These are beautiful, no?
