A bit of crazy details on a fun dress. I think it was called the Miami Dress with the swimming pools, cars and tennis courts on the skirt portion, it does remind me of Miami.

Celebrated a lovely Father's Day with my husband and Grant yesterday. Days like Father's day or any holiday makes me miss being close to home.

Starry Days

noreply@blogger.com (Jen @ redsolesandredwine) — Thu, 13 Jun 2013 06:00:00 +0000

My go to outfit pretty much all year around is a button down silk blouse, a pair of denim with heels and of course some of my favorite pieces from t+j Designs. Lately with my busy schedule this outfit has been on repeat (and when really hot with shorts) to run errands.

As I mentioned on Monday, I love the blogging community and the people I've met either in person or through social media. Everyone has made such a positive impact on my life. On Sunday night, I got a lovely tweet and note from Joanna, who illustrated a picture of me. I really couldn't believe it! She is talented, sweet and I love her illustrations. You need to check out her website and her blog! She had me at hello with all her shoe drawings ;).

She is sending me a print so I can frame it in my office. Beyond excited.

Thank you so much Joanna.

The last couple of posts showcase my love of printed dresses and of course I found another I love. Under $180 and a chevron pattern, it is perfect for the summer. Get it here. Perfect with flats or heels, and really any event as you can dress it up or down, I love the fact I can use my bright colored bag or shoes and a stack of bracelets.

It's been a great week and wishing you a fantastic weekend!

I headed out to a Ted Baker event last week in this printed dress number with my new Louboutin pumps (leather version). It was a perfect night of shopping, wine, and getting to know my new intern Kaitlyn (who shots these photos too).

Spring Leather (Mom vs Career)

noreply@blogger.com (Jen @ redsolesandredwine) — Mon, 20 May 2013 06:00:00 +0000

There are some great options right now for wearing lightweight leather in the spring & summer. Opt for shorts or skirts as I find it more breathable than a leather top. With our weather in Chicago creeping up to the 80's, the last thing I need is a sweaty top :).

Not everyone loves the printed trend but once I saw it on the runway and on gorgeous pieces at Net-a-Porter, I had to have affordable versions of what I saw. As promised on Tuesday's post, I'm sharing some of my favorites I found while shopping around. The punch of print is a great spring and summer piece. We all have solid colored dresses in our closet - why not add to it with some pretty florals or the aztec #3 dress. The other thing I love about these dresses? They easily transition day to night with a pair of flat sandals to a pair of sky high heels. Great for weddings, date nights, or a summer bash, you certainly won't look boring in these fun dresses. I can't decide which is my favorite, which is yours?

To My Mom

noreply@blogger.com (Jen @ redsolesandredwine) — Sun, 12 May 2013 06:00:00 +0000

Happy Mother's Day to my wonderful and always fabulous mom!

In my journey of becoming a mom myself, I realize and appreciate even more the sacrifices, the patience and the love a mom has for their kids. I now understand why my mom made rules, worried and lectured me and I will be doing the same with my Grant.

Thank you mom for always being there, for teaching me about life, how to laugh and enjoy the moment and how to be stylish. I love you and wish I could be home today.

Gina Wolf Photography

I'll be celebrating my second mother's day (Grant was born two weeks before mother's day last year) with my hubby and Grant. Enjoying family time with my boys.

For all the mommies that follow my blog, Happy Mother's Day! Hope you all enjoy a day with your mom's and celebrate the day with a massage, glass of champagne or anything relaxing.

J. Crew Pumps

Celine Bag (sim)

t+j Designs Pave Link Necklace

White Bow Bracelet

Watches to launch next week!

I'm not one to follow fashion rules so I do wear white before memorial day, I mix ivory and white, black and brown or black and navy. I wear what I love and what makes me feel happy. The vest is a bit more ivory against my white denim, but with the weather warmer than the past couple of months, I'm glad to be wearing some spring gear. I've been eyeing this Tibi Star top since winter so I was excited to finally get it on sale. An easy piece to wear day to night, it also looks great with my leather jacket or my blazers.

I've been interviewing candidates to be my intern for my company (t+j designs) and it's been inspiring meeting people in search of their career. I feel lucky to do what I love and hope I can find someone with the same passion for what I do. Growing our staff is our next step and excited to do so. Shannon, - my graphic assistant has been a wonderful addition and I look forward to hiring the next intern.

Hope your having a wonderful Friday and happy weekend! And don't forget, today's the last day to enter my d'andrea black clutch giveaway, enter here.

Today's post is dedicated to my little Grant who turns one today. A year ago our lives changed forever. This magical little boy entered our family and brought me so much joy and happiness. It brings a tear to my eye and a smile to my face that he turns one today.

Who knew I would become a sappy mom?
