I doubt it’s a secret, but I am in NO way a fan of the “No white after Labor Day”!!
🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
I say wear ALL the white!!! And…keep stain remover in stock!!
🤣
I’ll be using it on both of our jeans from today, but…so worth it!
🙄🤷🏼‍♀️
I’m also clearly a closet “fringe” lover!! The sweater…the jacket…and…I have more!
❤️
I’ve SO missed taking pictures of us!! Maya being off school this week has been a blessing! We’ve been trading things we want…

Me- Pictures!
🤣
Her- Us playing Roblox together.
🙄
We do both…WIN!
❤️
It was SUPER windy today, and we ran out in between downpours. The wind can be a total pain (as in I was totally panicked that it would blow my tripod and camera over!!), and it can also make you look like you are in a professional wind blown shoot….Maya’s hair needs it’s own hashtag!

Windy video at the end…

Denim Jacket + White Denim + Clog Boots + Cherry Blossoms!!

I’m playing catch up when I can…

Originally taken 4/11/2020

Words taken from Instagram on the day I posted some of these there…

Day 41 (of quarantine)

I’ve been dying to take pics with the cherry blossoms in bloom all over our neighborhood, but haven’t felt right about taking pics anywhere besides right in front of our house!

BUT…@e_for_elisa said to go out, find cherry blossoms, and tag her, so… 

🌸
I took advantage of last night’s hair, and if I’m honest…last night’s mascara that never got washed off! Helloooooo natural smokey eye!
 😂💁🏼‍♀️
We headed out early before everyone got up and started their morning walks. We traveled a block away from our house, and… Yes, we drove. I almost forgot how to drive!
 😳
I had planned the #WWWwardrobechallenge for today, which was…

 “Put on anything glittery for a Saturday shindig in”.  💫✨
Well….you can’t really tell that my top is a shimmery, but it is. 😐 Maya has glittery appliques on her sweatshirt, but…nope, can’t see those either. 🙄
AND…her shoes have gold thread in them. You can’t see that either?? Well, that’s too bad.
 🤣
Oh well, we tried.  🤷🏼‍♀️
But we NAILED capturing the cherry blossoms,💃🙌🏻 so it was all worth it! Only saw one person right as we finished up! •
I had planned on only taking 5 minutes, but since nobody was around we stayed for 10-whoopsie! 😬

AND…

“Style an accessory in an unusual way.” @whowhatwear #WWWwardrobechallenge

Is it cheating to knock out two challenges in one shoot? I think no! 🤣

I’m a big fan of knotting tops with high waisted denim, so I thought it would be fun to do a little different variation. I took this vintage butterfly brooch and cinched my top through it. I didn’t even need to pierce the top!

I just realized that I might have impailed Maya on the 2nd shot tho! 😳😬 I had hopes of doing more early morning shoots, but so far this has been our only one… I’m NOT a morning person… ☕️☕️☕️😴 Happy Tuesday! Or whatever day it is… 😂🙃🤪

Red + White + Blue | Memorial Day 2018

 We had the best long weekend!


I didn’t have to work all weekend, the weather was AMAZING, and we just had a ton of park hangs, play dates, and a BBQ at my parents house.
🤗👌🏻
It was a preview of summer (minus me not having to work) and it was so good…

So…funny story.  The reason there’s a “haze” on the first image, is because Maya kept jumping up and waving her hand in front of the camera…  Looooove this next one! AND….awe!!! My mom and Maya decorating with flags… hahaha 🙂 Not exactly what you’d think of for climbing shoes, but… 🙂

On me…

Jean Jacket- 3×1 thrifted for $10!!! (similar here retails for $300!!)

High Waisted “Mom Jeans” + Striped Top + Leather Jacket (Spring…??)

 The weather here in Seattle is still sunny and somewhat warm one minute (it got up to 80 yesterday!!), and then overcast and COLD the next!  I’m SO excited for consistent warmer temps, but they just aren’t quite here yet…

Which means…of course…layering. Oh, and I’m totally into tying a bandana or scarf around my non washed mom bun.

Like….this hair that I haven’t washed in 4 days?  Let me wrap something pretty around it-ha! Notice…no shadows in this next shot??  Sun is gone! OH!  And then back again!Photographically, it’s a NIGHTMARE to shoot in these conditions!  ESPECIALLY if you are trying to take shots with a tripod.  Don’t get me started…

BUT…I mainly wanted to come down here for Maya to play, so it really was fun to capture her in her element.

Although, she will still always say… “I don’t want to go to the beach!!

Uh huh… Love these next ones.  There was this tiny rock that she balanced on. And then….just went in! Once she’s wet, it’s hard to get her out of the water!

On me…

Jacket- Doma (old, similar here)
Jean Shirt- Levi’s Western Shirt (thrifted)
Top- J Crew (similar here)
On Maya…
Faux Leather Jacket- Zara Kids (thrifted, but similar here)
Denim Jacket- CrewCuts (thrifted)
Sweater- CrewCuts by J Crew (thrifted, but similar here)
Dress- Crewcuts (thrifted, but similar here)
Jeggings- Crewcuts “Jodhpur Jeggings” (thrifted)
Shoes- Children’s Place “Sequin Popstar Hi-Top Sneaker (thrifted, similar here)
Keeping it Real…
The main problem now taking Maya to a beach is that she just wants to play with all the other
kids, and….they just wander into our shots haha.  I tried to blur them out, but oddly, I don’t
know how to do that!
When there are others around, I aim to get one go for me, one go for both of us, and then just let her play.  Which I love capturing anyways!  And she has fun, which means…we keep getting to do this 🙂
Hahaha.  This little boy kept wandering into the shot and looking at the camera.  Unlike the one I wanted to take pics with me 😉

Gray Split Back Tee + White Raw Hem Skinnies + Ankle Wrap Clogs!

If I sound like a broken record, I’m sorry…

I LOVE classics with a twist!

From the front, this looks like a pretty basic outfit. And then… LOVE this back!!

And But….love her more!
But they came right back on for a dance off! Oh, and the side details of these super comfy clogs?

Yes, I’ve been wearing them a LOT! and then I decided to tie the back of this tee for a more fitted look…

Love Maya’s shoes just flung around haha.
I can’t even!

Maya was like “OH!  We almost made a circle!!” when she saw this. 🙂 Seriously, so cute with the tied back right??!! I can’t even…I LOVE capturing the way we look at each other!! My dad goes for a walk in the evening, and we see him when we are out playing after dinner.

LOVE these next images of them!

Dancing is usually on the list haha.
And sometimes she grabs the remote and starts shooting a kazillion pictures.

She loves her Meme!! I had to get a few of my parents! BUT…of course, Maya wouldn’t let them have pictures of just them…And some of the three of us!

Breaking out the White Denim for Spring!

 So…spring has been late in coming to Seattle, but we’ve had a few sunny days (or at times hours) here and there, and it’s just about the only thing getting me through this never ending winter!!

One of the first thing I get excited to wear is white denim!  I have a bit of an obsession with white jeans, and have dedicated many a post to them haha.

I recently scored these off eBay (like new for $2.26-SAY WHAT?!!), and I love them! We ran right past the focus point on this one…boo hoo!!  I still like it even though it’s out of focus though.  Maybe more so because of it?  I couldn’t decide if this was an outtake or not! LOOOOOOOOVE her!  And the light this day was sooooo good!
Anyone remember Goffrey?? 🙂 I want to eat her up!!

On me…

Top- Dallin Chase (thrifted, similar here, and less expensive super cute here)

Striped Tee + White Crop Flares (for fall!)

 I mentioned on Monday when I wore a “little white dress” that I do not adhere to the “No white after Labor Day” rule.  One of my favorite ways to break that rule is white denim.  I looooove white denim, and it’s a repeated trend for me here on the blog!
