fancy features and contributions….
September 7th, 2011 § 1 Comment
I just started contributing on my friend Jessica’s blog Live the Fancy Life on posts that are mommy, baby, and maternity related, so for me that will most often mean fashion related posts on these topics. It is the perfect outlet for all things baby that has invaded my brain since I started preparing for Miles’ birth. And with another one on the way, it does not look like it will let up anytime soon. Check out my first post on fancy little feet!! Also, you must check out the site if you have not already….It contains all the ingredients to live the fancy life – creative, inspired party decor, fancy food recipes, home decor ideas, and lots more!!
Lastly, my little Miles’ just turned 1 and his superhero birthday party was recently featured on Live the Fancy Life!! I feel fancy!!

back to school with crewcuts
September 6th, 2011 § 1 Comment
Even though Miles is just starting to fit into Crewcuts smallest size (size 2), it has been a source of fashion inspiration from the day he was born. I love the preppy meets urban laid-back styling. I now mostly shop only from the sale section, but it is getting more and more difficult to resist it all.
Here are a few of my favorite back to school looks…..

kicks for your urban baby
June 24th, 2011 § Leave a Comment
I’ve been having a blast dressing baby Miles. There is so much more room to be adventurous. Patterns, colors, and styles that would normally be too “loud” on grown-ups look totally appropriate, stylish, and fun on baby.
I scored these rad graffiti style converse kicks at a Converse outlet in Orlando and they’ve quickly become a favorite.

Design – Modern Home Tour
June 2nd, 2011 § 1 Comment
This is my first of hopefully many posts on design. I am drawn to simplicity of modern design. Design blogs and magazines, such as Dwell, inspire many of the design choices in my own home. As we recently moved into a new apartment and will soon be hosting out-of-town guests, my mind is has quickly switched from planning into execute mode to get the new apartment in presentable order. One of my weaknesses is spending too much time in the planning/researching stage. I get lost in home tours! This sometimes proves to be paralyzing for indecisive minds like myself.
My plan is to work with what we currently have, add a few modern touches and pops of color throughout with furniture, artwork, and accessories and attempt to keep it pretty minimal at the same time. In addition to updating our living spaces, I am working on a special project – my son’s nursery. He finally got his own room when we moved from a 1BD to 2BD. I hope to share inspiration, progress, and the final product with you all soon, but in the meantime, I leave you with some eye candy. Let your mind wander! Hope it inspires you, like it did me, to tackle that home project you’ve put off for….like…ever…….

slip on flats
May 17th, 2011 § 1 Comment
I didn’t really know exactly how I felt about slip-on flats. I always felt they were just not me. This style, however, is making me change my mind. This is laid-back casual cool done right.

margaritas, mimosa, and girl talk!
May 11th, 2011 § Leave a Comment
My mind is currently on sun, sand, sun, cabanas, sun, cocktails, sun…….and more sun. This past weekend I went on a family trip to Chicago where I was also able to catch up with a good girlfriend. We try to take 1 trip a year to catch up with each other and some much needed girl time. I missed last year’s trip to New Orleans. While the girls were maxing and relaxing, I was at home pregnant dealing with the side effects of the first trimester. Not this time!! With one of our girls returning safely from serving in Afghanistan, there is so much to celebrate. The trip is definitely on this summer and I can not wait!
Come with me…….destination. south beach.
