Thank God it's almost Friday! 

We leave for the beach tomorrow, and I can not wait!

When I am at the beach over the fourth, I like to have a bunch of patriotic looks. Whether it is subtle, like my blue maxi look from last week, or this over the top red, white and blue, star top and bomb pop bag, I am almost always fully holiday coordinated.  I mean seriously though, how adorable is this bag?

Happy Tuesday Loves! 

There is just a little over a week left before our Nation's Birthday and 

I have compiled a few of my favorite decorations to really pop off your fourth! 

I have almost everything in order, as we are headed to the beach on Friday and will stay throughout the Fourth. 

There is still time left to order fun and patriotic themed party decorations.

What are your Independence Day plans?

Happy Thursday! 

Only two weeks away from July 4th, for sure my favorite holiday! 

The next few posts will be patriotic and Americana themed ranging from subtle to all out stars and stripes. 

Nolan is out of school and our Summer has officially begun! 

Most of the parties are over, but we are kicking off the Summer with a jam packed weekend. 

A Red Sox game Friday night, Canobie Lake Park all day Saturday and what we have been waiting for for months, Jurassic World on Sunday!  I am tired just thinking about it! 

What are your plans for the weekend?

Good Morning! 

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and were able to 

spend some QT with the dads in your lives.

On Father's Day my sister-in-law, niece and nephews came over for breakfast to celebrate my father.  In the evening my sister and I took my parents, her family and my son and his dad out for a wonderful Father's Day dinner, it was really a lovely day. 

Guys, I have been really loving the high waist/ wide leg pants and bodysuit combo. 

One of the main reasons is it can be such a polished, casual look, and it is a look that looks good on almost everyone regardless of your body type.  

I will be living in this and similar looks all Summer. 

Any recent trends you are loving?

Happy Thursday! 

I know that when you have a baby everyone tells you to enjoy every second because it goes by in a blink of an eye. I am here to tell you, it is so true! 

I feel like just yesterday my son was born, how is he going off to middle school in the Fall? 

I remember thinking his first day of Kindergarten, he will be here forever, six years! Those six years have gone so fast, and it makes me so sad.  Yesterday I picked him up for the last time from his after school program and this morning was the last time I will drop him off at elementary school. 

   

At this point we might as well be looking at colleges, and shopping around for his first apartment!

Other than the emotional rollercoaster of the end of the school year, this is my favorite time of year.
The weather has been perfect, low 80s and zero humidity. I love dressing for the late spring, not too hot to still wear jeans and layers.

I hope you all have an amazing weekend!

Good Morning Loves! 

I have been a little M.I.A., Nolan is 'graduating' from 5th grade and the end of the year festivities have been insane! Concerts, picnics, BBQs, ice cream socials, presentations, summer bash, dance party, a living museum, all coupled with my crazy schedule with summer dance classes starting up, it has been terrible trying to manage my time. 

It seems that when the weather gets warm, I just want to wear white.  White dressed are my favorite, they are just so easy.
