Going Somewhere Warm?

SUIT:: Carmen Marc Valvo // PAREO:: Loveshackfancy // SANDALS:: Steve Madden 

Sorry I've been so quiet here! We were in Florida last week and flew home Monday. The first half of the trip was warm and sunny but the second chunk of the trip was cold and rainy. Regardless of the so-so weather, the change of scenery was just what we needed.  Now we are back home and my number one priority right now is figuring out how to get Ellie to sleep without waking for her pacifier all night long. You would think since she is my fourth baby that I would have it all figured out by now but honestly every baby is so different! Any tips?!

Our quick trip to Florida got me all excited for the warm weather clothing out right now. Since we had a few decent beach days, I was able to wear my new pareo by Loveshackfancy. This one piece and sarong combo is my go-to for the beach. I have had this one piece for a few years and it still looks brand new. It comes in a ton of colors, too! I've rounded up my favorite resort wear pieces below! Xo

NOTEWORTHY MENTIONS::

1. I'm not usually a two piece type of gal but really loving this top and skirt set.
2. My favorite brand has come out with the prettiest spring pieces: loving this dress, this dress and this one, too!
3. If I were a bikini, this would be it!
4. Love this sarong and this one as well. 

BLUSH LOOK & Weekend Sales

COAT:: Bernardo (on sale!) // DRESS:: Joie // BAG:: Chanel // EARRINGS:: Asha // SHOES:: Jimmy Choo (lower heel here)

Hello everyone and happy Friday! We have had a really busy week over here and I'm pretty run down. I picked up my first cold since last winter and I'm pretty bummed about it. My cold coupled with minimal sleep has me feeling quite miserable. I started taking those Elderberry supplements that you all raved about and I'm hoping they cut down my "sick time" but who knows. We are also supposed to be going to Florida on Sunday but the upcoming snowstorm has me wondering if our flight will even take off. I haven't packed a single thing...

On to today's post! I stumbled upon this pretty blush dress the day before Ellie's Baptism back in December. I had really wanted to wear a light colored dress to it but couldn't find anything online that wasn't dripping in sequins and beads (right before Christmas). I was on my way to pick up a Christmas gift and decided to pop in the Joie store on Greenwich Ave and my eyes were quickly drawn to this pretty shade of pale blush. This dress is the perfect combination of feminine and comfort and it's a dress that I know I will wear for years to come. I also had a follower message me on Instagram wondering if it would for her baby shower coming up- she ended up buying the dress and it fits her perfectly!

These Asha earrings are also my new favorites to wear. I get so many compliments every time I wear them. An added bonus is that they aren't heavy at all!

I also wanted to share a few sales happening right now. My coat that I'm wearing in these pictures is currently on sale. It has a detachable fur collar and I took mine off and like it much better that way.

VINCE:: extra 40% off all sale. My go to blanket wrap coat is on major sale as well as this sweater and this one as well. Also love these booties.

ANTHROPOLOGIE:: 20% off all clothing, shoes and accessories. I love buying my jeans from Anthro. I have my eyes on this pair.  Love this sweatshirt. And obsessed with these joggers!

For the Home

I always get home decor catalogs in the mail and I usually put them aside in hopes that I can sneak a few minutes to myself and flip through them. Most of the time they end up taking up space and collecting dust in the little nook on my kitchen counter that's reserved for all of my clutter. Eventually they end up finding their way to our recycling bin and the cycle starts all over again when the next batch of catalogs gets delivered. This morning however, I dedicated my five free minutes to looking at the new Serena and Lily catalog and decided it was the perfect time to do a home decor roundup on the blog. Here is what I'm loving right now::

The Best Winter Date Night Tops

TOP:: Joie // JEANS:: Citizens of Humanity // SHOES:: Steve Madden // COAT:: Vince (old) // BAG:: Celine // HOOPS:: Madewell

Not going to lie, we haven't exactly been out much since Ellie was born and I'm starting to go a little stir crazy...Pretty sure I can count the times on one hand (two fingers if I'm being honest) My husband and I decided regardless of how exhausted we might be feeling, we're going to start planning a night out every couple weeks whether it's with friends or just the two of us. So much of our limited time together is intertwined with kid bedtimes, baths, feedings, sports (you get the picture) and we often don't get the time we need to catch up and check in with each other. Our future nights out got me thinking about all of the pretty tops I can finally pull out of my closet and wear like this one by Joie that is currently 60% off. This top is so feminine and pretty and would look amazing paired with high waisted girlfriend jeans. I've rounded up some more of my current favorite winter date night tops below! Xo

January Loves

JACKET:: Banana Republic (similar here) // SWEATER :: H&M similar here // JEANS:: J Brand // BOOTIES:: Givenchy (on sale!) and style steal version here // SUNGLASSES:: Ray Ban // BAG:: Celine 

My older three are FINALLY back at school after one million days off for Christmas break, Ellie is napping (which can last for either five minutes or three hours- who knows) and I can finally sit down, uninterrupted and work on my blog. It feels good to get back into a routine again. I was starting to lose my mind a little bit last week and my kids were itching to go back to school. I thought I'd kick off my first blog post of 2019 with a roundup of everything I'm loving right now.

I bought this faux fur bomber jacket back in the early fall and every time I put it on I feel like I'm releasing a little bit of my inner Real Housewife of New Jersey (in a good way). I'm not the biggest faux fur fan (definitely not a real fur fan) because I feel like it always looks overwhelmingly bulky and animal like on me but I love the bomber style. It's the perfect cut and style and doesn't make me feel like I'm dressing up for Halloween. But my kids do sit on my lap and pet me whenever I wear it. If you like the exact style I'm wearing keep checking back on the Banana Republic site because it does come in and out of stock on the daily. This style is very similar.

My booties had been on my splurge wishlist for a while and when I came across them for 50% off I had to buy them. If you like the look but not the price tag, this version is also amazing.

OTHER ITEMS I'M LOVING::

This is the perfect pullover to wear with my leggings

These joggers are the perfect color and style and could be worn out of the house too!

I love the color and cut of these jeans and they come in petite sizes!

Before the holidays I had a request to round up some "going out" tops: loving this one, this one, this one and this one.

Cozy Sweaters to get us through the next few months. Loving this one and this one.

Kind of loving this faux fur bag
