Can we come up with a new name for “Oxblood”?

I love this color of leather, but the name kind of makes me want to hurl… The upside to a tripod and self timer=convenient/control (um, for those that know me…). The downside? I chop heads off at times… and get neighbors taking their garbage out. Still using this pic, because I love it 🙂 On me…

Maya is usually pretty good about letting me dress her (SO hope that lasts a while longer!!), but every once and a while she is adamant about wearing something. Usually, it’s a pair of boots, but today….it was wings 🙂

But I’ll start with the pics I got while she was napping 😉 “Fly, fly, fly…” For those of you that follow us on Instagram, you saw this as a video 🙂 Yes, she wanted me to wear wings too 🙂 On me…

Boho Tops…come in handy when you go out :)

Leave a reply

It was my friend’s birthday the other night, so we went to someplace special. He’s a total foodie, so we let him pick the spot. When I looked at the menu, I knew I needed a top that had “room to grow” haha. That is one of the things I love so much about “boho” tops. They are loose and flow so you can’t see the “after food and wine belly” 🙂

I love stacking jewelry. Even before it was the thing to do. Mainly because I’m too lazy to take anything off and rotate, so I just keep everything on haha. This time I mixed $4 bangles from H&M with…a not $4 bracelet 🙂 And because it was a “going out” night, I didn’t get mixed pics of me and Maya, but I took these a few weeks ago and never blogged them. I have a small obsession with Osh Kosh overalls. Call it a generational thing 🙂 On me…

Super Mom Tip

These tops are great for so many occasions/times in your life. Wear them in the first trimester when you are trying to “hide the bump”. Then wear them after the baby comes to…well, “hide the bump” :{ Then, wear them when you have a two year old to hide the food baby 🙂 That said. It’s best to wear loose flowing tops with tighter bottoms to even things out. 🙂

My favorite leather jacket… in GREEN!

4 Replies

I have this exact jacket it a bright orange (worn last here), and I love it! I get compliments every time I wear it, and even let a senior wear it for her senior portraits. When I saw it on eBay a while back in green (my favorite color), I sooooo wanted it!! I let it go (did I really need another leather jacket???!) Then, I saw it again a few weeks ago at a screaming deal (aka FATE haha), so I snatched it up! I have a few Doma Leather jackets. Obviously, the quality is amazing, but they also all have such unique details to them. I love that!! Scored these suede booties at a thrift store last week for $7!! They are super comfy too! On me…

Casual everyday wear + lots of snuggles=good to be home :)

It was so nice to get away, but I could not wait to get home and see the Peanut! Since I was gone all weekend, I hadn’t done any shoots, which meant I didn’t have to work as much this week and had more time to snuggle Maya-double win!!!

For these first two, she’s of course finishing off her lunch in her wagon 🙂 I think she may have forgotten how fun the self timer was… So, of course I had to remind her 🙂 On me…

Weekend getaway-Date Night…take 2 (faux leather :))!

Leave a reply

So for our first date night on our getaway, I wore my new suede pants. The 2nd night it was a faux leather! I love this faux leather top from ASTR. I’ve been dying to wear it, but it’s been too cold in Seattle. Perfect for a sunny California getaway 🙂 Such fun details… Then, not to leave Maya out… I took these a little while ago on a “sweats day” haha. She’s obsessed with these snowboots! And…her duck 🙂

Weekend getaway-Date Night | Suede Pants :)!

3 Replies

So, weekend getaways mean a lot of things. Relaxation (i.e.-no cooking, no cleaning, no WORKING!!). They also usually mean-date nights! I get to wear things I’ve been saving for a special occasion. This time? SUEDE PANTS! I had so many doubts about these. Mainly, am I too old to wear suede pants?? Well, I figured vacation was the perfect place to try them out, and I LOVE them! I’m just going to pretend that 39 really is the new 29 and 29 is totally acceptable for suede pants haha 😉

Oh, and by the time we had gotten ready for dinner, it was dark outside. So…classy hallway shots it was :{. These next pics I took of Maya were from yesterday. A day where I stayed unshowered and in my workout clothes til about 5-which means total darkness now… Hey, it happens 🙂My favorite thing to say is “Maya, can I have a hug?” And she runs crazy into my arms. LOVE IT! 🙂

Weekend Getaway…

Leave a reply

The Huz and I were SO lucky to get away for a few days this past weekend. My parents watched Maya, and we flew down to Southern California for some sun (what is that?!) and relaxation (again…what is that??!)

It was SO nice to feel the sun on our faces and walk barefoot in the sand…

I was kind of obsessed with these funny little birds… Until….DOLPHINS!!! They were SO close!! Then, not to leave her out! I took these of Maya the morning we left for an Instagram daily challenge that was “Scarves and Boots”. I mean, I couldn’t NOT do that one!! On me…

My favorite leather jacket + Vans…sure they go together :)

I’m a big believer in putting things together that you like, and that look good on you. Rules schmules (to some extent!). Then…fingers crossed they work. And if they don’t, oh well. At least you like what you’re wearing. If you feel good, chances are you look good too 🙂 I can’t tell you how many times I tried to make something work that I liked on someone else, but felt so uncomfortable all day that I hated it/couldn’t wait to fling it off when I got home.

Now, there’s really nothing odd about this outfit. At least I don’t think there is? haha. The Pink Polka Dot Vans are a little playful (totally remind me of my childhood), and the jacket is a little edgy. Not exactly the “perfect fit”, but I was comfortable, so it was a win 🙂 LOVE the details in this Doma jacket. I bought it when I worked at Sway and Cake for a year on the weekends (9 years ago??). Yeah, THAT was dangerous… Anyway, it still totally current and still looks great! Baby Bear is back again… He makes her so happy, that if he’s in every shot from here on out, I don’t care! On me…

It was a comfy cozy cape kind of day…

2 Replies

I had to take Maya back to Children’s Hospital on Tuesday for a test that took up two parts of the day. What sounded perfect, was to be wrapped up in a cozy blanket. Truth be told, what sounded perfect was not having to do it at all! Well, this cape/wrap did the trick…for making me feel cozy, that is.

My mom got these next few of Maya and me…

After every visit, they give her a stuffed animal. She is now OBSESSED with “baby bear”. You will be seeing a lot of him, I’m predicting… 😉 Jumping for joy, because the test is over haha 🙂 I completely forgot to get pics of just me until it was almost dark. I grabbed the tripod, ran outside, and did not care AT ALL that all my neighbors driving home from work were wondering what I was doing 🙂 Great news- The scan showed no kidney damage-WOO HOO.
