Sunnies || Top || Jeans || GG Sneakers… ALL ON SALE!
One of my all time favorite retailers, ShopBop, is having their spring sale and I’m so here for it! This is a buy more, save more event and I love it because many of my closet staples have come from the Shop Bop Sales! These items certainly aren’t budget items, but they are items you will have for years (for example, I’ve had my Madewell jeans for 3 years, my sunglasses for 3 years). Most of these items rarely go on sale and this is a great time to add investment pieces into your closet before spring starts!
I’m sharing below in some photos, as well as my picks of some of the items that I have and love myself (and some that are on my wish list!).
Seen below…Free People dress (pink) and black…..Madewell tee here and here….hunter rain boots, denim dress by free people, Rolling stone graphic tee, AG jeans and shorts, Z supply overalls and T shirt, Madewell denim jacket and Shutz sandals!
Again, these items RARELY go on sale and some will sell out so do not hesitate if you have your eye on something (ie. Tory Burch items, Golden Gooses, etc!).
Happy Shopping friends!

Me & (one) of my Valentines!
My top || Jeans ||| V-Day baby option 1 || #2 || #3
Well... Valentine’s Day sure did sneak up on me this year. Don’t know about you guys!! I still have yet to get the boys and my hubby a little something. Having kids makes Valentines Day even more fun in my opinion!!
Not sure we will be hitting the town this Valentine’s Day for obvious reasons (any takers for babysitting??!!) but I’ve rounded up a ton of V-day options whether you’re staying in, need something fun to wear for your kids on the holiday, have a school function for your kids to go to, or have a fancy date night!
I’m always game for a good turtleneck and this one fits the bill for the holiday vibes!
This madewell heart sweater is adorable!

Change. The only thing that is constant in life.
I just dropped the boys off at the airport and I was literally dying inside. All thats been on my mind the last few days is how different everything is going to be when they get back. I’ve been trying to soak in my mornings with Seb while Max is at school, family dinners and breakfasts…ahhhh. Not going to lie, pretty much in tears when I went to the car. Knowing the changes ahead of us, that nothing will be the same, how did this all go so fast??! I know they’re going to have a blast (my oldest was up at 5:20 am ready to go LOL) but its never easy in these moments knowing tons of changes are coming your way. I’m so excited; yet scared, anxious, sad, so many emotions. Here’s to our new normal of a family of 5!
That’s not to say a small part of me is basking in the fact that In the next few days I don’t need to bend over with my huge bump 83939 times a day to change diapers…or pick up toys, put toys together lol, put shoes, coats, gloves, on/take off my toddler, etc. haha.
Or the fact that I’m on no timeline. WHAT? I don’t have to be home at a certain time for the kids or bring them everywhere. So foreign to me.
But still….miss them so much already.
6 am bright and early ready for sunshine and Mickey Mouse with their grandparents!!!!
So…for now I’m going to distract myself with a fun post about my 10 faves of the week!
things I’m loving right now….
DYSON BLOWDRYER. Um yes. Yall. This is life changing. I have super thick hair and I swear I put off my whole hair washing process till the last possible moment cause it takes forrrrever. And also #momlife and I’m slightly lazy abt it haha. I got the dyson blowdryer for Christmas (just the basic one) and honestly I can’t say enough about it. I know its a huge investment…but if you have thick hair and are super busy (who isn’t??!!) you need this. Also, if you have to wash your hair a lot (like every day), it is a must have. This blowdryer has made my hair way softer than my old dryer, my blowout lasts longer and honestly it is SO quiet and dries my hair in like 5 minutes (and I have sooo much hair).
2. I love this Gleaming Heart Roadtrip sweater for Valentines Day and its almost 50% on the rack!
3. This Topshop Belted dress has been on my wishlist for like…weeks now and its under $50
4. This Abercrombie Long Turtleneck sweater is 50% and comes in a ton of colors…
5. This purple pom beanie from Abercombie is so stinking cute and unique and the price is SO good.
6. I’m a sucker for stripes and need to snag a few of these AERIE striped tees for postpartum and layering.
7. Isle of Paradise Self Tanner: I have super fair skin and love to have color. I was never good at finding a good self tanner. Over the last year I’ve liked the Josie Maran Argan Gold but it does get on your clothes/sheets after application if you go to bed after and I wish it lasted longer. Enter Isle of Paradise tanning water (or the drops I heard are really good). I AM OBSESSED. It doesn’t leave any residue on my sheets after application, its SUPER Dark, lasts for 3-5 days, doesn’t come off on my clothes and it has a slight smell but honestly the next day I can’t even smell it. It took me one application to figure out how to use it and make sure it was even. All of my posts lately I’ve had it on. Its a MUST. FYI I use Dark.
8. The double up Ardell lashes are my new fave- add soooo much volume!
9. This Jcrew factory pom hat is GOALS. Can you tell I love my winter hats? Also comes in black/pink!!
10. I’m on the hunt for nursing friendly clothes and this ruffle trim wrap top from Jcrew factory is perfect…and feminine. I also love their tissue turtlenecks. Save 50% off on 2 or more items, 60% off on 3 or more items, and 70% off 4 or more items from clearance!! YAS.
Hope you all have an amazing weekend.
