What We Wear: Crochet Fringe Cardigan For Some Spring Style

Hi ladies, I have been doing a little less posting this past week because my computer charger (yes, my NEW one, is broken.. thats what i get for purchasing one off ebay). I received this adorable crochet fridge cardigan from Ryan + Reese a couple weeks ago. This is one of my favorite pieces right now. I am all over this cardi! Every time I have worn it people have asked me where I purchased it. I am happy to share with you all that Ryan + Reese is the go to shop and they have plenty of crochet fringe options including shorts and tanks. I pretty much am in love with anything crochet and fringe so this duo is perfect and will most certainly be making a continuous appearance in my wardrobe. Its so easy to throw on on top of anything & you instantly feel like you "tried" even if your just in leggings and a plain v neck. Im definitely throwing this into my bag for Hawaii next week!

What We Wear: Florals With Edge

Ladies I am loving florals this season and this flowly crop top bell sleeve is perfection. You can pair it with a high waisted skirt, shorts or some levis. I love a good casual top that is comfortable but is still dressy and makes me feel like im out of my "mom clothes" of sweats or yoga pants. This top is sheer and a chiffon breezy material perfect for Spring and Summer. I'll be doing a separate post on this adorable personalized bar necklace Ryder Smith Jewelry sent me within the next week or so, so be sure to check out their shop as well! Being a mom makes it that much more difficult to get dolled up, do my hair, put on some makeup, and especially throw on some fancy heels, but it really does feel good to get dressed up at least once or twice a week and feel like yourself again. I've talked with a couple of you ladies about how to take care of yourself after having a baby: how to lift your spirits and feel like you've still got it.. questioning if you've turned into a blob of "hair in a bun, spit up on your shirt and down your neck, baby food on your shoulder, and microwavable dinners at best". I think the secret is self care. Make sure to take moments to yourself each day, and a date with yourself, your man, or your ladies each week. DO something independet from babies, as hard as it is to leave them, TRUST ME, Its hard, but its worth it in the long run for that much needed "me" time. It helps you keep your identity and not get swallowed up in being selfless 24/7 thinking about everyone else in your family but yourself. Sometimes its good to just go pamper yourself with a little lipstick and some starbucks, even if you just go for an hour and read a book or go for a walk. Sounds silly but it works.

What We Wear: Ryan + Reese

Hi ladies, a friend of mine just opened up a brand new online boutique called Ryan + Reese and they have great hip, on trend, adorable clothing & accessories! Ryan + Reese has a ton of fun bohemian chic, hippy, free-spirited flirty outfit options.. which we all know is right up my alley. They sent me a couple items and i couldnt wait to put on these fun leather shorts with adorable detailed scalloped edges! You MUST get your hands on some of these. They are a high to mid waisted short, super comfortable, but really sexy and effortlessly dress up your outfit. I can't wait to wear these on a date night with my man and stack on some statement necklaces and maybe a fun lip stain. You can pair these shorts with a tank, a chunky sweater, or even a rocker T like this Beatles Tshirt I paired mine with. I threw on a mint colored belt and necklace for a splash of subtle color. These will definitely be a pair of shorts i wear on repeat throughout the summer. Check out what else Ryan + Reese has in their shop & follow along on instagram, link(s) at the bottom of this post.

What We Wear: Stela 9

Okay, lets just chat about how great these bags are for just a second! Stela 9 sent me these two wanderlust handbags from their new Spring 2014 line and I fell in love i n s t a n t l y. I cannot wait to take these to the beach with us this summer! These bags bring so much color to any outfit, they're so fun and have that bohoemian vibe going (which is probably my favorite look right now), and they are great for stuffing full of magazines, sun glasses, sunscreen, a good read, you know, all the essentials..and if you are a mama like me, well they can even pass for a great fashionable diaper bag! Im all for the "in desguise diaper bag". I ADORE the little details on these bags, like those little dangling fun colorful pom-poms, two-toned tapestries, and the option to wear the weekender bag slung across your body or carry it on your shoulder or forearm with those perfect suede handles.. perfect for a weekend getaway or if you're just feeling like a bohemian princess and want to be playful and add some zest to your outfit. I pretty much would like to be a bohemian princess everyday prancing around barefoot on the beach or a forest somewhere. Let a girl dream for a bit..

^^^This is the Isabel Weekender "Sophia Carpet" and I am absolutely obsessed. Its so spacious and has the raddest pattern, you will definitely be seeing me wear this around all.of.the.time...PERIOD. This roomy weekend bag has a sturdy sueded base with protective metal feet, a zip pocket details the front and it has detachable shoulder straps and suede handles. Yeppp, i told you it was great!^^^

^^^This is the "Shiva Hobo GB" slouchy bag. Its flexible so you can stuff it full of goodies or just put a couple items inside. I love the braided/twisted handles, and OH those details, details, details! This bag is a mix of two-toned tapestries, is trimmed in coins and beads (THE WORKS), has those adorable pom-poms that my little guy wants to EAT, and has a lined interior with 3 pockets!^^^

What We Wear: Spring Florals

I am obsessed with any Kimono lately! And this floral fringe Kimono by Mad Glam is perfect for spring! It has just the right amount of attitude and you can wear it with a flirty dress, high waisted shorts and a crop top, throw it over a bathing suit, or wear it as I have styled it here! I have literally already wore this kimono a handful of times and I just got it. I love throwing it over any outfit to dress it up with some color and give any outfit a feminine playful touch. Its light weight so its perfect for this 90 degree weather we've been having these past few days.
