Vince Camuto Caged Sandals
When you get a great piece of intel from someone, you should take it. Restaurants, movies, or T.V. shows, almost always take the recommendation. That’s exactly what happened with these shoes. Unfortunately, it means I must wear a veil of shame. Because, this is the second item that Caitlin of Sophisticaited has purchased, posted to Instagram, and…

4-Ingredient Homemade La Croix
A month ago, I hosted a few friends over at the house and picked up some La Croix for the event. When Ellie saw the lilac cans, she had a lot of questions. One was whether or not we could make it. I thought about it for a minute and said yes. Then, every week,…

Essie – Funships
This tropical nail polish from Essie is a coral-pink with a gold sheen. It is called Funships. By all accounts (the name included), it shouldn’t work, but somehow does. It reminds me of colors I wore in middle school, but in the best possible way. I personally think it will look lovely in flat, lace-up…

Happy Birthday Ellie
It’s hard to believe this photo was taken 4 years ago, because when I look at it, it feels like a lifetime or two has passed. In the last four years, we have learned a lot together. But, a few things remain the same. She is still the sun in my sky and my love forever.…

White Tennis Shoes
Many, many years ago, my friend Julee went to Europe on vacation with her husband. While there, she noticed that everyone was wearing Ked-like shoes and birkenstocks. Flash forward about 5 years and now both trends are in full force state-side. (I mean it takes longer than you’d think.) I’d been wanting to pick up…

Flying with Toddlers: Reusable Stickers
On our recent family trip to Florida, we were delayed at the airport for a few hours with Ellie. After the initial panic subsided, I headed over to one of the news stand stores and picked up distractions for all three of us. There, I found this gem for Ellie. As you can imagine, it was…

Perfect Envelope Clutch
This fire engine red clutch from Banana Republic is quickly becoming a favorite of mine for a lot of reasons: It looks expensive. It’s not expensive ($48). The shape is classic. It goes with basically everything. Trust me. Red is a neutral. So, why haven’t you picked one up yet? Let’s be twins.
