Crop Tops + Vintage Levi’s 501

 I had so many pairs of Levi’s both in high school (pegged and rolled!!), and then in college (cut offs, still have them/wearing them 20 years later…)  They are classic.  Funny that when the low rise trend first came out, I thought I’d NEVER wear Levi’s again unless it was to work to do house projects (sadly most of my old cut offs have paint on them now :()Blog Free People Lace Crop Vintage Levis 501 Mystique Sandals-1 Blog Free People Lace Crop Vintage Levis 501 Mystique Sandals-2 Blog Free People Lace Crop Vintage Levis 501 Mystique Sandals-3 Blog Free People Lace Crop Vintage Levis 501 Mystique Sandals-4 Blog Free People Lace Crop Vintage Levis 501 Mystique Sandals-5 Blog Free People Lace Crop Vintage Levis 501 Mystique Sandals-6Blog MandS Boho Top ArizonaJeans Butterfly Boots-1Blog MandS Boho Top ArizonaJeans Butterfly Boots-2Blog MandS Boho Top ArizonaJeans Butterfly Boots-3Blog MandS Boho Top ArizonaJeans Butterfly Boots-4Blog MandS Boho Top ArizonaJeans Butterfly Boots-5Blog MandS Boho Top ArizonaJeans Butterfly Boots-6Blog MandS Boho Top ArizonaJeans Butterfly Boots-7On me…

I’m in my peek season with work, which is great, but exhausting-both physically and mentally.  I’ve been feeling a tad overwhelmed.  This blog has been such a fun creative outlet for me to do, but the posts might be a little shorter for the next 5 months or not have links to clothing (does anyone even care??).  I did a little revaluation of life over the weekend, and reminded myself what’s important.  Spending quality time with my family.  That will always come first…
Happy Monday!

Leather + Silk in the summer? Yes…day to night!

 I have had these leather shorts since last year??  I’ve wanted to wear them, but just couldn’t bring myself to find the occasion.  I mean…leather shorts??  When?  Where?  I see other people wearing them, and I LOVE them every single time I see them!  When I bought them, I kidded myself that they could be worn anywhere!  But…I rarely wear shorts.  Unless they are cut offs…  So, they’ve been sitting in my closet.

And then…WhoWhatWear put out another Summer style challenge.  I did all 30 days last time, but I’m not sure I’ll have the time to do them all this time.  One of the days though, was Day 13 try wearing a leather and silk combination… They showed a leather jacket with a silk dress, but I already did that here.  Seemed the perfect time to work in my shorts I’ve been dying to wear!  And, really, it seemed the perfect day to night post too!

Starting with the night, because these heels weren’t going to be worn for long on our walk haha.  Blog BCBGMaxAzria Silk Top Blank NYC Leather Suede Shorts Steve Madden Ash Sandals-1I always see other people wearing heels with shorts, and I think it looks amazing.  I always feel self conscious… Probably because I’m 6 feet tall when I wear them!  Ps-can you spot Maya? 🙂Blog BCBGMaxAzria Silk Top Blank NYC Leather Suede Shorts Steve Madden Ash Sandals-2The nice thing about these is the platform.  Makes them actually pretty comfy, and not that high.

When we try and take pictures on our nightly walk, a lot of it looks like this…Maya running off while the Huz tries to take a few pics of me.  Me running after her and bringing her back closer to us.  I’ll be honest, I almost threw in the towel a few times, and started to get frustrated with a lot of things that happened last night.  Mainly, it’s my need to be in control of everything.  That’s one of the biggest reasons I like taking pictures myself with the self timer and tripod.  I may not always get the shots I want to get, but at least I can control it.  I usually feed Maya while I take 5 minutes to grab 5-10 pics of myself.  I get 5+ of us, and then we are done.  The entire process takes me about 15 minutes, but we are limited on where I can take the tripod…
This morning, I had to remind myself of a blog post that I read from another fellow mommy blogger, Joey and the Owl.  In it, she talks about her husband giving her this advice…”Amy, people have families, jobs and lives, they aren’t sitting around all day and thinking about your blog. You’re not that important”.  haha, so true.  I have to keep reminding myself that the main reason I’m doing this is to have a creative outlet for myself to ENJOY.  To get pics of me with Maya that make me smile, that I will treasure for always.  THAT IS IT.  Yes, I want others to enjoy what I post and possibly get inspired, but I cannot get stressed over a silly blog.  I cannot let it get in the way/take away from my already overpacked life.  My family is way more important.
In any case.  Thank you for reading 🙂  Blog BCBGMaxAzria Silk Top Blank NYC Leather Suede Shorts Steve Madden Ash Sandals-23

Easy Swing Tank + Cut offs = Summer Uniform

 While I like to experiment, and have fun trying new things to wear…chances are, most days I’m wearing a swing tank and cut offs.  Now that I’ve gone scissor crazy on a few pairs for Maya, she will too!  Of course on the days I can talk her out of wearing a “Princess Dress” aka…all dresses 🙂

It’s also been pretty hot here.  I am going to try and not complain, but there’s a reason I have lived in the Pacific Northwest for most of my life.  I like the cooler temperatures.  I actually like the rain!  And…can we talk about the chore of slathering up in sunscreen??  I really can’t wait for someone to invent a pill or drink that provides all over sunscreen!!  All that said, I LOOOOVE warm nights, and taking walks after dinner!!  The Huz has been home the last few nights, so we were lucky enough to have him come with us and snap our pics vs the usual tripod and self timer!

Me watching Maya roll down our neighbors hill… 🙂

Once again…thrifting for the win! :)

 I honestly didn’t even plan on making this an all thrifted outfit for both me and Maya, but chances are…that’s going to happen more often than not 🙂  I’m sure it’s pretty obvious by now that I’m not really a dress person.  In my mind, I feel way more comfortable in jeans and a tee, but whenever I actually wear a dress…I love it!  The Huz loved this dress the minute I tried it on for him.  It’s totally fitted (hence the Huz loving it!), so I threw on a denim shirt to make me feel a little less self conscious.  The material is ridiculously soft and comfortable, and I love how the Converse make it more casual.  Perfect for our night time walk around the neighborhood…

Not much to keep real.  It was really nice to have a long weekend with the Huz home, and I didn’t have any shoots!!  I had done two newborn shoots during the week, so it was really nice to just relax and spend time with the family 🙂

Happy 4th of July!

 Cannot wait for the 4th of July parade later today.  I think this will be the first year that Maya really gets excited about it.  She was still a little oblivious about it last year.

Pretty sure she still won’t be excited about the fireworks though…Blog Joie Genetic Denim Rafe Espadrilles-1 Blog Joie Genetic Denim Rafe Espadrilles-2 Blog Joie Genetic Denim Rafe Espadrilles-3 Blog Joie Genetic Denim Rafe Espadrilles-4 Blog Joie Genetic Denim Rafe Espadrilles-5

The only “keeping it real” I have is that I am so busy with work that I don’t have much time for personal pictures.  These were taken in about 15 minutes, and I was lucky to do that!  Again, big thank you to my parents for watching the Peanut so much while I’m away!!  Oh, and AMEN for children’s Zyrtek.  FINALLY found something that worked on Maya’s hives that she’s been having for the past 6 days.  Still hoping we don’t have to keep taking it for the long term…

Red, white, and Blue // A few days early :)

Red just looks good with white and blue…period.  And, I never think twice about it, until I’m nearing 4th of July, yet…it’s NOT 4th of July.  Then I feel a little weird.  I was this close to wearing red shoes, but changed them at the last minute.  I left Maya’s on though 🙂Blog HM Boho Tunic Hudson Collin Mystique Wrap Sandal-1 Blog HM Boho Tunic Hudson Collin Mystique Wrap Sandal-2 Blog HM Boho Tunic Hudson Collin Mystique Wrap Sandal-3 Blog HM Boho Tunic Hudson Collin Mystique Wrap Sandal-4“Hi Charlie, HI!!!!”  Seeing her brother walking towards us with Max 🙂Blog Carter Blue Boho RWB Slip Ons-1I mean…doesn’t get much cuter than this.Blog Carter Blue Boho RWB Slip Ons-2Blog Carter Blue Boho RWB Slip Ons-3Blog Carter Blue Boho RWB Slip Ons-4On me…

Keeping it Real…

I haven’t taken many pictures of Maya the last 4 days (ok, pictures I want to post), because she has been breaking out with hives mysteriously.  It’s not the first time…and I’m sure it won’t be the last, but it’s been pretty bad these last few days!  Like…50 on each leg, then half that on her arms, her hands swelling up, and 5-6 on her face.  We’ve tried changing up her food every day, but so far it only happens after she wakes up in the morning, then off and on until mid afternoon.  The last few mornings it’s happened before she’s even eaten anything!  Obviously, I took her to the Dr, but…nothing.  So scary, but oddly, she hasn’t even been phased.  Well, with the exception of the manic hyperness 30 minutes after she gets Benadryl, followed by wanting to just sleep next to me in the Ergo… Fingers crossed it goes away as mysteriously as it came in the 5-7 days that the Dr said it would… 😦

Dropwaist Dress + Booties

 I scored this Juicy Couture tunic off of ThredUp for $9! Honestly, I got a few things for both me and Maya.  I had a $10 credit for referring someone (they got $10 too-WIN!!  You can too by clicking the link above), so basically it was free! I swear I’m always so impressed when I get a box from them.  They say everything is “practically new”, and it totally is!  There have been a few times when there was a slight flaw (that I would barely notice), and they either sent it anyway (at no charge!) or took it off my order if it wasn’t up to par.  MOST times I’m even more impressed with the item in person than from the pictures!  Anywho…

It’s so easy to throw on and go.  I paired it with another pair of DIY 7FAM cutoffs that were less than $7 at the thriftstore because of a bad hem job.  I’d been wanting to try out a longer cut off and these were the perfect pair to do it with.Blog Juicy Dropwaist Dress 7FAM cut offs Cafe Noir Boots-1 Blog Juicy Dropwaist Dress 7FAM cut offs Cafe Noir Boots-2 Blog Juicy Dropwaist Dress 7FAM cut offs Cafe Noir Boots-3Making sure Dita (Maya’s stick) got some water to drink 😉 Blog Juicy Dropwaist Dress 7FAM cut offs Cafe Noir Boots-4 Blog Juicy Dropwaist Dress 7FAM cut offs Cafe Noir Boots-5I am SO BAD about printing images.  I mean, how do I chose??!!  I think this one might make the cut…Blog CrewCuts Light Levis Cutoffs KidsConnection Sandals-1 Blog CrewCuts Light Levis Cutoffs KidsConnection Sandals-2 Blog CrewCuts Light Levis Cutoffs KidsConnection Sandals-3 Blog CrewCuts Light Levis Cutoffs KidsConnection Sandals-4I had to break it to her that this stick was too big to come home with us 🙂 Blog CrewCuts Light Levis Cutoffs KidsConnection Sandals-5 Blog CrewCuts Light Levis Cutoffs KidsConnection Sandals-6On me…

White Tee + Ripped Jeans

 There’s something about the simple combination of a white tee with ripped jeans.  It’s a classic combination that I don’t see ever going out of style.

I love adding a little twist to the classic, and I am a total sucker for a cowl neck.  I love the draping…Blog 3 Dots Cowl Neck Destroyed 7FAM Mystique Silver Wrap Sandals-1I’ve worn these jeans a number of times on the blog.  I love the easy comfort of jeans that are a few sizes too big.  These are the classic boot cut, but rolled and a few sizes too big, they totally feel like a boyfriend style.Blog 3 Dots Cowl Neck Destroyed 7FAM Mystique Silver Wrap Sandals-2 Blog 3 Dots Cowl Neck Destroyed 7FAM Mystique Silver Wrap Sandals-3 Blog 3 Dots Cowl Neck Destroyed 7FAM Mystique Silver Wrap Sandals-4 Blog 3 Dots Cowl Neck Destroyed 7FAM Mystique Silver Wrap Sandals-53 out of the five of these earrings are Gorjana.  LOVE the simplicity of her jewelry!  You can barely see, but the circle disc has a “m” on it 🙂  If you sign up to get emails from them, you’ll get sale notifications.  At the end of seasons, items can go up to 80% off!!Blog 3 Dots Cowl Neck Destroyed 7FAM Mystique Silver Wrap Sandals-6 Blog 3 Dots Cowl Neck Destroyed 7FAM Mystique Silver Wrap Sandals-7 Blog 3 Dots Cowl Neck Destroyed 7FAM Mystique Silver Wrap Sandals-8Hahaha.  Maya loooooves a good kiss 😉 Blog 3 Dots Cowl Neck Destroyed 7FAM Mystique Silver Wrap Sandals-9 Blog 3 Dots Cowl Neck Destroyed 7FAM Mystique Silver Wrap Sandals-10Goffrey and Dita came with us to my parents house for dinner 🙂 Blog Gap Jacket Mini Boden Swing top Joes Jeans White Minnetonka Mocs-1 Blog Gap Jacket Mini Boden Swing top Joes Jeans White Minnetonka Mocs-2 Blog Gap Jacket Mini Boden Swing top Joes Jeans White Minnetonka Mocs-3 Blog Gap Jacket Mini Boden Swing top Joes Jeans White Minnetonka Mocs-4 Blog Gap Jacket Mini Boden Swing top Joes Jeans White Minnetonka Mocs-5 Blog Gap Jacket Mini Boden Swing top Joes Jeans White Minnetonka Mocs-6 Blog Gap Jacket Mini Boden Swing top Joes Jeans White Minnetonka Mocs-7On me…

Once again, if you follow us on Instagram, you know that yesterday was not a banner day.  However, of course, she took a 3 hour nap, which mean…there was something not right. I am so lucky that Maya is so happy most days.  It’s such a lesson in parenting when your kids are being difficult.  Are they playing off your mood (often times for me, YES!)  Are they not feeling well?  Again, a lot of times…yes!  It is SO hard when you are in the thick of it, with them throwing tantrums, etc… You think “What can I be doing differently?!!”  You feel like a failure as a parent… All that to say.  You are not alone.  You and your toddler…NOT ALONE.  Thank goodness they are so flipping cute, no? 🙂

Cutoffs are always so perfect in the summer.  A way to get them on the cheap is at the thrift store (duh :)).  Look for your favorite jeans in a size or two larger than you normally wear.  That way they are looser and more comfy.  If you find some that have a hack job hem or that have been worn at the bottom from dragging, those are usually marked down pretty cheap.  Perfect to turn into cut offs!  You can even do some DIY distressing like I did here.  Or, I’m sure everyone has a pair of jeans in their closet that they never wear anymore.  Perfect way to give them a new lease on life!

So, there was a fire pit in the middle of all the wooden benches (what we are standing on.)  Maya decided to sit and play in it.  Of course, the more I tried to coax/carry her out of it, the more determined she was to sit and then roll around in it!  Coal remnants and all… She was a filthy mess, as was I afterwards, but again…one of the many reasons I love thrifting!  And…why I love Oxyclean haha.  And then she saw the mole hills and was off to play in those 😉
