There are two major sales that I get really excited about: Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale and the Sephora Sale (which used to only be a VIB Sale but is now open to everyone!). Here's what I'm purchasing this time around from the Sephora VIB Sale. I'm (unfortunately) not at the VIB Rouge level - though if I was, that would probably mean I had way too much makeup! I'm at the mid-tier, which has access to the sale until Monday the 11th! During this sale, I always replace certain items that I …

Hair Accessories for Spring and Summer
Last summer I bought matching headbands for me and E, and I LOVED how well mine kept my hair out of my face. My hair is naturally curly (and frizzy in humidity). It's not the easiest type of hair to have in the summer, especially at the beach. (That's why you'll mostly see my hair up in a bun when I'm in a humid climate - there's just not much I can do with it!) Photo from this Orlando hotel post I've found some really cute hair things lately, and I'm just trying to decide what to buy and …

The True Cost: Fast Fashion Documentary
I watched this documentary a while ago, but I had to rewatch it over the weekend. There are so many people posting about clothing that you can find on Amazon for $25, $15, $10...And while I love a great deal as much as the next girl, it's something we have to talk about. When you stop and think about it, you can't buy just the fabric for that price, never mind the labor of actually making a shirt or a skirt or whatever you're buying. I am not at all suggesting that all moms should go out and …
The Best One Piece Swimsuits
I'm so happy that one piece swimsuits are on trend. There's something about a cute one piece that makes me feel so much better on the beach or at the pool when I know I'll be spending my time chasing a toddler instead of lounging and reading a good book. (Ah... how life changes!) Today I'm rounding up my favorite one piece swimsuits at every price point and sharing where I go to get great swimsuits that won't break the bank. Where I shop for one-piece swimsuits I have a long torso, so that …
Best Baby Clothing Brands for Tall Babies
I didn't realize just how "off" baby clothing sizing could be. The first couple of weeks after we had Eleanor, it seemed like I was throwing piece after piece into a pile of stuff that just didn't fit right. It's literally like women's sizes, where a small in one store is a large in another. And when you have a baby who's tall and thin, it can be tough to find clothes that fit well. I had bought all of these cute little onesies from stores like Old Navy, only to find out that my baby fit …
