...Lately...


I am pretty sure Tate would nurse until he was 10 if I let him.

Tate's first birthday was last week. Click here to watch him master the art of cake destruction.

As the weather heats up, we've started taking advantage of the local beaches.

San Antonio Temple.

1992 called and told me this is their favorite outfit.

Spied: A-Line Skirt


It still amazes me that Forever 21 has become one of my favorite places to look for modest skirts. Every few weeks they push out a whole new crop of options.

Today, I am loving this one.


A-Line Skirt - Forever 21 - $12.50

I think the way it falls is just fantastic, and that price? Unbeatable.

F21 latest batch of modest skirts are at the best prices I have seen yet!

Refashion: Adding Sleeves to a Dress


I was perusing Target and I just could not help but buy the perfect nursing dress. I fell in love with the striped print and the amazing cross front neckline. The only catch? It didn't have sleeves.

Guess what? I bought it anyway.


Luckily, the hemline was about 3 inches longer than I needed it to be. I trimmed the hem and used what I salvaged to make sleeves.

And let me tell you, I love this dress. I will be wearing it all summer long.

Hair Inspiration: J.Crew Curly Hair


I don't think there will ever be a time that I am not obsessed with this J.Crew model's hair. Every time I think I have seen every possible conceivable hairdo, a whole new set pops up with new arrivals.

She constantly makes me wish my hair were curlier and that I had a full time hair and makeup team to make it look fabulous every day.
