Summer Dresses

2018-06-06T17:34:00.001-04:00

Oh Summer! How I have missed you! Even though living in a sunny climate means HOT weather most of the year, there is something about summer that get me excited! I'm such a beach bum that it's not even funny! If you ask me what I like to do for fun, I'll say "beach" 99.9% of the time. Swimming, running after the kids, something about the hot air and the salty water brings me joy. Well unless you ask me to visit a city, then I will be on board every time too (thanks to my first trip when I was 16 years old to NYC for a full month, I fell head of heels in love, more about that later.)

Here are a few dresses that I have and absolutely love!! They are easy as they are beautiful! You will not be disappointed. Just a few ideas if you are on the lookout for a little number for this summer. Now let's enjoy this summer to the fullest!

Fall Style Inspiration

Fall is just around the corner, and even though for us here in the southern states it comes a little later, I am excited for the cooler weather ahead. We have been enjoying the beach and all the beauty that comes with it, but there is something about autumn that brings excitement. Mostly it makes me miss Seattle, it was my favorite season when we lived there. All the colorful leaves and fresh air. I need to plan a trip soon, it has been too long.

Here are some outfit inspirations and items I picked up recently:

Here is a quick Father's Day Gift Guide. Whether it is for your father or husband, make sure to buy something he will enjoy. You know him best! And if in doubt choose an experience, like tickets to a game or favorite band, or a massage. That will definitely earn extra brownie points!

One of my friend's birthday is on Father's Day and she is really into jewelry and has multiple piercings. One of my favorite sites for that kind of thing is http://www.freshtrends.com. I am going to pick out a few cartilage earrings for her. Check them out if you are on the look out for a place that carries all sorts of jewelry all in one place. Maybe your man or father loves jewelry too, perfect place to pick out a few goodies for him.

For the Love of Boots

2014-10-29T23:20:00.000-04:00

I have this obsession with boots. It started when I saw my first pair at Aldo when I was 16. Back then Aldo was a hip new place to buy shoes. The quality was superb and many of the shoes were made in Brazil or Italy. Something drew me to them. They were black, pointed toe, and made of butter soft leather! The lining was pink and they were made in Italy. I tried them on, and I was sold, I needed to own them! Have you ever had that moment? It's magical right?! The way they made me feel, like I can do anything. Sounds cliche, I know! I saved for a couple months just to get them. Back then I worked as a grocery store bagger making $5.75 an hour. Those were the days! and I remember the day I finally did, it was heaven! The anticipation and all the hard work paid off. I wore does boots to death. To Seattle, to NYC, and many trips in between. My shoe cobbler saw me many times over the next couple years with the same boots. And I still have them! Since then I have added more boots, but those will always be special! My mom recently told me she also loved wearing boots in her younger years, hmm..I wonder if it's genetic!? I am taking care of all mine and definitely going to pass them down to my daughters!

Here are a few of my picks:

Denim Picks

2014-08-27T08:54:00.000-04:00

Can you believe it's almost September?! Wow this summer slipped between our fingers! I have been living by the pool and beach almost everyday. My girls are little fish and can't get enough of the water and who blames them, we all need sunshine to thrive and some water to cool off :)

So with fall right around the corner, I know most of us will be pulling out our jeans again. I still wear some of mine but mostly boyfriend jeans since they are effortless and comfy.

I really love the online store Revolve Clothing. They have such a large selection and here are the best parts, are you ready?!

They match competitors prices and no tax!! That is huge! Shipping is free and your order will be at your door step in 2-3 days (They use Priority Shipping)!! It can't get better than that! Well it does, they also have free return and exchanges!

And they always have great coupon codes, use the coupon code TULIP to save an additional 10% off. Yeah so all these things together really is pretty awesome! I have bought a few things and got dirt cheap prices and amazing customer service!

So let's say you found a pair of jeans at Nordstrom for $50 bucks, check to see if Revolve has them, and they will match their price, and you won't have to pay tax and get in order much faster! Just a little tip from someone who loves a bargain :)

Here are my picks:

Thanks for stopping by! Enjoy the last days of summer!

Life Lately and Outfits

2014-05-23T15:42:00.000-04:00

Just looking at this photo brings tears to my eyes. Just several years back, I had no hair and now I am complaining of too much! Honestly sometimes I forget and I have to stop myself in my tracks and remember those years. I am beyond thankful now for this head of hair. It is a testimony to me everyday of what faith can do!

My hubs with Masha. Loving all the sunshine!!

And here is Miss Sunshine herself! This child was made for the outdoors. She loves running around and going to the beach/pool. Practically lives there lol! We have been loving the Honest sunscreen. I use it on myself as well and it definitely works amazing because I was out in the sun for a good part of the day, and no burn at all!! I reapplied about 3 times and well it did what it was suppose to do ;)

One of my fav blazers!

Masha on my birthday and Mother's day. Can't believe how big she is getting!

Shirt, Shorts, Shoes

My hair was getting so long, it literally was down to my lower back! It grew so much during pregnancy, and was starting to fall out around 4 months PP. I decided to get a trim, and cut off 5 inches. It feels so much healthier and lighter!

Truth Pride Leather Jacket Sold Out (Similar style, Another option)

Top Sold Out (Similar here)

Mila Love in her 4mom bathtub. I love it! It is roomy and has the option of removing water and filling back up without having to take baby out! I don't use the thermometer but that is a great feature if your a first time parent and don't know if water is too hot or cold.

I am currently using the Honest Shampoo/Baby wash and also Mustela for her hair.

Oh you know just matching with Masha. I rarely do this, but when I put on this dress, I remembered Masha had a crewcuts dress in the same shade. I really love drop waist/peplum dresses! They are easy to just throw on and go. And how cute are these Vince Camuto shoes! They add that edge factor!

Asos Dress Sold Out (Similar here and Love this one), Shoes, Purse Sold Out (Similar here)

Masha: Dress Sold Out (Similar here)

On a mini getaway with family/friends. I love this high waisted swimsuit! It has a 70's vibe to it and is very cute with the lip print. I wore a pair of oversized square sunnies, and my hair parted down the middle. Definitely a fun look!

Bikini Top, Bottom

Easter Outfit

Dress, Shoes

Loving these sunnies and jeweled earrings!

Sunnies, J Crew Earrings Sold Out (Love this!)

A few oldies but goodies! A blazer really ties an outfit together. It dresses it up without being to overdone.

1, 2 Sold Out, 3, 4

J Crew is having 30% off Sale items right now. I am loving this dress and skirt!

My baby girl! She looks so much like my hubs, at least I think so! Those big blue eyes kill me everytime. How I adore her, kisses all day everyday!

Tory Burch Picks

2014-03-29T10:20:00.001-04:00

I received an unexpected gift card to Tory Burch and boy am I having a hard time picking out something. Their Spring collection is stunning to say the least. I actually wanted a classic black satchel bag but they don't seem to have what I want right now.

Here are a few pieces that caught my eye:

Happy Saturday!

Monday Inspiration - Skirts

2014-03-24T11:26:00.001-04:00

No matter how much I insist on my daughter to wear pants, she always wants to wear skirts or dresses. I think there is something to say about that! She will twirl and twirl as if in a fairytale. It's quite magical! She is in her own little world.

Whenever I want to feel feminine and classy, I tend to wear a skirt. I love the versatility of skirts. I can wear flats and a tee for a casual look. Right when I add some heels and a soft sweater or silky top, it brings it up a notch. It's quite fun to mix up your look with accessories.

Here are some skirts for inspiration:

Happy Monday! Thanks for stopping by!

Friday Inspiration - Chic Everyday Look

2014-03-14T09:51:00.003-04:00

You know those days you don't really feel like dressing up, well I usually turn to my favorite pair of jeans and a soft white tee. Pair it with nude flats and some bold jewelry. I love a good clutch that I can throw into my baby bag and use it on the go to run errands. And don't forget your smile, that is your best accessory :)

These pieces are higher end, but you can find great items at local discount stores like TJ Maxx or Forever 21. I tend to buy better quality items when they are classic pieces since I know they will be in my closet for a long time.

Happy Friday!!

Recent Favorites

2014-03-04T09:26:00.003-05:00

It's Tuesday and I decided to share some recent favorite products/items. Let me know if you have tried these too and what you love about them.

Onesta Smooth & Shine Thermal Straightening Creme

I am pretty much obsessed with this product. If you like silky smooth hair, this was made for you!

It is humidity resistent, controls frizz and adds that bounce to my hair. I love the look of long sleek hair, and it gives me just that. Plus it is free from parabens, sulfates, gluten, dyes, phthalates, and the list goes on. Since I have thick hair I use about a nickel size on towel dried hair right before I blow dry. You can also use on dry hair to control frizz. Highly recommend!

Caldrea Ginger Pomelo Linen and Room Spray

This is pretty much the best spray ever! I randomly bought this on Vitacost because I wanted something different (not Febreeze) and it might be a bit more in cost, but scent is natural and refreshing. And all ingredients are plant derived and no artificial color is used. I might try some of their other scents too. I'm really loving this brand! I'm trying out a few other products, I'll report back to you soon ;)

Btw, here is a link to Vitacost in case you want to save $10.00 off your first purchase. This is my favorite website where I buy all my home supplies and vitamins. They also have great sales periodically on natural baby diapers/wipes.

Love this swimsuit

It looks identical to the Seafolly print called Rococo, but is much less expensive. And there are many different options for bottoms/tops.

Jo Malone 'Peony & Blush Suede' Cologne

I was looking for a light scent for daytime and that wasn't too strong, and let me tell you, this one is absolutely perfect. It is feminine and fresh but not overpowering, however a little goes a long way. Stop by and get a sample, you will fall in love!

Seventh Generation Baby: Natural Laundry Stain and Spot Spray

This has saved me, wish I had it with my first child! We all have those diapers blow outs and think, "there goes another cute outfit". I decided to try this out and I love the results! I spray it on my baby's stains and let it soak for about ten minutes. I then rinse it with cold water. If it is a tough stain, I repeat it, and let it soak in cold water. I'll let it air dry and throw it in the wash after it is completely dry and I can see that the stain is completely gone. Btw, I also use it on Masha's clothing (food and dirt also wash out well!) This is my second bottle, yep I definitely will be buying more ;)

Hope everyone has a great Tuesday! Thanks for stopping by!

Swimsuit Picks 2014

2014-02-25T09:58:00.002-05:00

Since I live in Florida, the sun definitely comes out earlier for us than the rest of the country. However, I bet many of you are planning your spring break vacations and getaways. I am so looking forward to getting a nice glow and relaxing on the beach. Can't wait to take Mila for a swim. I'll probably do another post on toddler/baby swimsuits. Swimwear for kids is my weakness. There are so many cute options and since we go the beach/pool almost year round, it's hard to resist ;)

Here are my swimsuit picks:

P.S. Don't forget to enter the Erin Condren giveaway on my Instagram, it ends this Friday!

Favorite Spring Trend 2014

2014-02-18T10:15:00.001-05:00

With Spring just around the corner, I compiled a list of my favorite spring picks. Since I live in Florida, the sun is already out but it is still chilly. I love pairing boyfriend jeans and leather leggings with loose fitting tops. Dresses are an easy no brainer, paired with a trench or a light jacket. Pastel colors this season are all over from sweaters to dresses, to shoes and jewelry.

I bought the prettiest Zara pleated skirt and can't wait to wear it with a pair of nude flats. I am still sporting it with my over the knee boots, but I'm hoping in a couple weeks the sunny days will stay for good. The key is to wear what you already have and incorporate a few key pieces like a pastel cashmere sweater or a neutral wedge. Try a sky blue clutch and a crystal statement necklace paired with your favorite jeans and white crisp tee. Don't forget your favorite sunglasses and a cute baseball cap to keep your hair looking fresh with all the spring showers. Have fun and enjoy Spring and all the bloom it brings!

Thanks for stopping by. Have a lovely Tuesday!

Postpartum Update & Life Lately

2014-01-31T13:06:00.000-05:00

Wow I can't believe tomorrow is already February! December literally flew by with the birth of Mila, Christmas, Masha's birthday and tons of parties. Mila is already 7 weeks and growing like a champ. I am still amazed at how much easier nursing is going. I know it is definitely because of experience. With Masha, I was worried the first month if I was doing it right and if she was getting enough. With Mila, I just trust my gut and go with it. I look for cues on when she is actually hungry. And she is sleeping 6 hours at night. Let's just say I am not waking up exhausted like I was with Masha. And another thing that works out is that Masha still naps three hours a day. During that time, I either work on paperwork for my hub's business or get things done around the house. Sometimes I take a nap too :) Just depends on how I feel that day or what I have going on.

Our whole family was sick for about a week in January and that was tough! I haven't been sick in such a long time that I forgot how it was. Masha had a fever for a few days and the only way she took medicine was adding it to her orange juice. I couldn't keep any food down, but I continued to nurse and thank goodness I had enough milk supply and Mila didn't get sick. Drinking tea with honey and milk really helped as well.

I had my 6 week check up yesterday and was looking forward to seeing my midwife and thanking her for the amazing birth experience, but she was on call. I saw another doctor in the practice and he said everything is back to normal! He talked about birth control options, and I told him I will rely on nursing for now. With Masha, I didn't get my period until around 20 months postpartum! I'm not sure how long I will nurse for, but definitely over a year for sure. I feel great too! Eating healthy and staying active while pregnant really did me well, I was back to my pre-pregnancy weight after the third week. I'm surprised how fast I bounced back, but I am so thankful because it makes it easier not to have to worry about weight. I can just focus on the baby and enjoy her. I remember with Masha it took way more time to lose the weight and I was pretty sad that I didn't fit into my jeans right after birth. I didn't gain too much with Masha (35 lbs.) but still, it was my first child so I didn't know what to expect. I thought you give birth and can slip into your old clothes.

Since the doctor gave me the ok, I can finally start working out. I'm going to start with a 30 minute routine and move up from there. I don't want to overdue it on cardio because I want my milk supply to stay consistent. Focusing mainly on weight training and ab exercises is my goal. I have been walking outside for about an hour each day so I will keep up with that too. It is nice to get some fresh air for all of us!

I'm eating everything in sight right now, literally! I love this part of nursing lol! I'm trying to eat healthy, but I am not going to lie, I have given into some guilty pleasures. Is it just me or does nursing increase our sweet tooth?! ;)

Here are photos from last couple months.

My cutie around Christmas time. She is starting to really like the camera and posing hehe :)

My Picks: Baby/Toddler Shoes at Zara and Nordstrom

2014-01-28T15:34:00.001-05:00

Spring is just around the corner, and I am on a look out for a few cute shoes to add to my little girl's collection. Kids grow so fast and the older they get, the more they are involved in what they like. I love practical shoes that are comfy yet stylish. Most of Masha's favorite shoes are from Zara. I feel like they are worth the money because she constantly grabs them over other ones in her closet. Plus the styles are classic and can easily be passed down to your younger children. The resale price is also high on Zara products. Oh and btw they are having a huge sale right now! Definitely check it out if you are looking for high quality shoes for your little ones (or yourself ;)

I also love Nordstrom (big surprise right, lol?!) They have the best return policy, plus I can use Ebates and earn cash back! And I love the free shipping/free returns. Can't beat that, oh and they also price match and if the item goes on sale, they will give you back the difference. Just have to ask :)

Here are a few of my favorites:

Hope you all have a great week!

Beauty Picks: Nordstrom & Sephora

2014-01-15T10:37:00.001-05:00

I received a few gift cards for Christmas to some of my favorite stores (Nordstrom & Sephora) and I'm trying to figure out what products to purchase. Thought I would share just in case some of you received gift cards as well :)

Here are a few that caught my eye:

My Picks: Sneakers

2014-01-09T09:00:00.000-05:00

It's January and many of us are hitting the gyms and adding "getting fit" to our New Year's resolution list. I for one will be walking a ton more and right when I hit the 6 week mark and get the ok from my midwife, I will start working out again!

I have caught myself wearing sneakers even just to hang out or run errands. Plus it is so much easier to chase a toddler and carry a baby with sneakers. The styles that are currently out are fun and hip. My favorite sneakers are the Nike Air Max 1. They come in tons of different colors and are so comfortable!

Here are my picks for stylish sneakers:

Personal Style: Favorite Pieces

2014-01-03T09:00:00.000-05:00

Happy New Year's! With a new year, comes new goals and plans. Why not make one of your goals to find your personal style! Mix new and vintage pieces. Have fun exploring and playing around with what you already own. And then see what items you might need to add to create versatility to your wardrobe. And if you ever need help, I'm only an email away ;)

I was asked to be part of a exciting campaign called We Search. We Find. We ShopStyle.

Here is a clip with Miranda Kerr, one of my favorite style icons!

I thought it would be fun to share some of my favorite pieces that I love to mix and match. I absolutely adore items that are classic with a dash of edge! I love finding new ways to pair them! Below are a few photos of items I wear on repeat throughout the year. Some have been around for quite some time, while others are from this season. All of these have one thing in common, they reflect my Style. Style is art, it is a way of expression, and it should be timeless, effortless, and fabulous!
