One of my favorite things to shop for is good summer basics I pretty much wear all neutrals, and while I like to test out trends here and there, I really reach for basics most.
This has always been a big request in my inbox, so I figured it was time to do an updated post with current pieces I am wearing. Here's a few that I rotate during these warmer months: ...
We're back from Scottsdale and we had such a great trip. I'll be sharing newborn travel tips soon, plus some other requested content, but for now I wanted to highlight a couple swimsuits I wore on the trip - all from Amazon. ...
I've shared this dress more times than I can count, and while I've shared it again and again on LTK, I thought it deserved its own blog post. At this point, it's by far one of my most worn items in my closet...and did I mention that it's $29? Yep, one of the best Amazon Fashion finds ever. I've dressed it up with heels, dressed it down with sneakers, and usually tend to throw it on with sandals as a cover-up or easy summer option. It works well with a bump, too! Should I keep going? ...
It's taken me a few weeks to get this post together, but I definitely wanted to share what I'm actually living in postpartum this time around. Since Charlie's case was different from George's and I needed to go back to the hospital (sometimes multiple times a day) to be with him, drop off milk, etc., I ended up having to actually get dressed a lot more often than I did with George. And don't get me wrong, it wasn't cute, but postpartum is raw and real and I am totally OK with that! Not to mention I was still recovering from my C-section so truly, I had to be careful with what I was wearing so that I was decently comfortable. ...
I'm someone who is always looking for items I can style again and again. Whether it be an investment piece or even something budget-friendly, the goal is to be able to style it more than once. And this couldn't be more true with my swim + cover-up situation. ...
One thing I always miss while pregnant is denim - more specifically, non-maternity jeans, shorts, and the like. Don't get me wrong, maternity jeans have come a long way (here are they brands I like) and I'm grateful to be pregnant, of course, but buttoning up a good pair of jeans is something I'm looking forward to later this year! ...
Dallas is hitting the 70s this week so you know I'm pulling out all the spring things, officially. And at the top of my shopping list each spring is, of course, sandals. From casual ones to throw on with denim cutoffs or a skirt, to heeled options that elevate a look, I honestly get a little giddy shopping for spring sandals. What can I say? I'm an accessories girl. ...
You know I live in blazers year-round but fall and spring are definitely my favorite seasons for them. While fall blazers are all about weight and plaid, spring blazers offer a chic light look that I love paired with jeans or over a dress. And with spring pastels a trend this season, I had a lot of fun scouring the web for the best spring blazers — finding some under $50! ...
Alright ladies, let's talk bags. Y'all know I'm a sucker for bags and while I do tend to invest in designer and high-quality bags most of the time, I can't pass up a good budget-friendly bag if I want to try out a trend. I definitely keep my designer/investment bags more classic (see my most recent designer purchase here) but when it comes to trends, I'll look for quality options at a lower price. Which is where this blog post comes in!
To be honest, you have to dig to find decent bags at this price point but I found 10 that I'm pretty impressed with. From the quilted and padded trend happening on accessories right now to an effortless backpack to a more refined hobo bag, I'm really excited to share these options with you!
Let me know if you have any favorites from this list.

I know, I know, I don't usually write about color but I will say I'm being drawn to more lately. First it was this pink sweatsuit and now this baby blue cardigan, and I'm not mad at it. I'm not promising to overhaul my entire neutral wardrobe but I do think it's fun to throw in a few colors if they work for you. ...
