Spring Fever featuring Pleione

You guys! We leave for the East Coast this Monday! I cannot believe how fast its gone. Our house is almost packed, and it is all starting to set in. Including the fact that I will be going from weather in the 40-50's, to 20's and below. That's a BIG difference. It makes me long for spring even more, all of the beautiful pastels and whites, I just can't wait to pull them all out. This beautiful blouse from from Pleione is perfect for spring. The soft color tones paired with white is my absolute favorite. You can find Pleione at Nordstrom.com. They have an amazing line of clothing with different styles for all body types. Make sure to check them out, as well as my favorite Pleione items listed below. XOXO

Oh, and apparently my hands are ALWAYS in my hair (as you can see by these photos) WHOOPS! Judge me I dare you! ;)

Blush Pink Featuring Evy's Tree

Now that spring is on the horizon, I am loving all things blush pink. This blush pink cardigan hoodie from Evy's Tree is my go to cover up lately. I probably wear it more often that id like to admit. Its perfect for my busy life as a mom, and paired with my mami tee and double initial layered necklace from Bip & Bop. I am ready for a day out my kiddos, while still dressing in style. Oh, and this necklace has my boys initials on them. How cute is that? Now I can always hold them close to my heart. :) Hope you all have an amazing weekend! XOXO

Hello Cancun featuring Kini Swimwear

As many of you know, I just got back from a long week in Cancun. It was absolutely BEAUTIFUL there and the weather was fantastic. It was the perfect vacation spent with my amazing husband, and a great getaway before our big move to freezing cold NJ. Now that we are back, the time has come. I have had so many people ask me about this adorable swimsuit from Kini Swimwear, and now is the time I get to share with you how I was able to design it myself! Yep, thats right. This design came from yours truly! Kini Swimwear is an awesome site where you can literally choose whatever design you want from their many fabric, color, and style options. These swimsuits are personally designed by YOU and you can chose what you think will look best on YOUR body! I can't even tell you how fun it was for me to chose every little detail myself. Swimsuits are hard for me, because I like a good amount of coverage, but also need support up top, and something that covers my bum as well. Have you ever fell in love with a swimsuit, then tried it on and thought, "gosh, I wish it had under wire, or I wish it wasn't cheeky bum coverage." Maybe even vice versa? You won't have to worry about that with Kini Swimwear because YOU get to chose what looks best for you!

Here's how it works:

First: Select your style of swimwear from Bikini, Tankini or One Piece

Second: Click on the images to choose the top, bottom or one piece design you want to customize

(I chose underwire top in extended bodice, and a high waited bottom)

Step 3: Fabrics. Click on the section of kini you want to design, then select your fabric. There are tons of designs and color options to chose from. Click each section to mix and match patterns, designs, and colors.

You can also add a frill to the top bodice, change the bra strap, ruche the bottoms etc.

Step 4: Chose your Top Size, Cup size, and Bottom size up top. Make sure to check the size guide as these sizes are australian. For example I'm an XS and wore size 6 top.

Once you're finished you've got you own personalized to you, kini swimsuit! I hope you love yours as much as I love mine. I promise you won't regret it!

Lovers Gonna Love featuring The Light Blonde

With Valentines Day right around the corner, I thought it only appropriate to throw on one of my new favorite tees from The Light Blonde. Every time I wear this I hear the song in my head, "Because the lovers gonna love, love, love, love, love!" hah so appropriate for the holiday. I went for a more casual look and paired it with some red heels, and leopard accent bag from Downeast Basics. I hope you all are sharing the love this month, and all year around. May this season remind you to always love those around you, and not only that but to also love YOURSELF flaws in all. Remember,

" God wasn't having a bad day when he made you... If you don't love yourself in the right way, you can't love your neighbor. You can't be as good as you are supposed to be." Joel Osteen

Spring Florals featuring Slouch Headwear

I don't know about you, but i'm getting to the point where I'm not quite sure what to wear lately. Spring is fast approaching, so my urge is to pull out my spring florals, but some days it just seems too cold and gloomy to wear something like that. Well, these adorable beanies from Slouch Headwear are perfect for days just like that. Have the best of both worlds but wearing your spring florals, while still staying toasty warm. They are all handmade by my good friend Emily herself, and the best part is that they come in kids sizes! Beckham absolutely loves his beanie. He usually takes off hats the second I put them on his head, but he actually kept this one on for two whole hours. I was amazed! Not only that, but they come in tons of other awesome colors and prints. Head over to Slouch Headwear now to grab your and your little one matching beanies before they are gone. Remember, once a print sells out they will most likely not be getting it back. So HURRY!! xoxo

A Big Announcement featuring Savior Faire and Shop Bellac

Well, its official!! We are moving to NYC area at the end of this month. Technically NJ, but still only 20-30 minutes away from downtown. I'm nervous, anxious, excited, but mostly just plain nervous. I don't want to say goodbye to our home, to all of our amazing friends and family. There are a lot of emotions going on, but I cant wait for what the East Coast has in store for us and all of the adventures we will have there. Apparently the East coat is in full blown WINTER right now, so fur coats are a must. This coat from Savior Faire, a Fayetteville boutique, will be perfect for days in downtown when ill be freezing my butt of doing blog collaborations. If you look closely, it has a tiny bit of a purple tint to it. Sounds odd, but its my favorite part about it. I'm obsessed!! Paired with the perfect coated denim and blouse from Shop Bellac, I'll look like a New Yoker in no time. Who am I kidding, I'm from Utah, I'm going to look completely out of my realm. Hope you all have a fantastic Friday, and make sure to enter the $50 Fevrie giveaway here and $400 NastyGal giveaway here
