Okay… I know I post a lot of shoes; I wear many different shoes throughout the week. (For the record, I think I have become a “shoe person.”) But let’s say that you’re going to only purchase one pair of shoes for the rest of the year. These bow loafers from Sole Society should be your one purchase. I don’t say this lightly! I do love a good heel, a great boot, and a worn in ballet flat… but these loafers are perfect.
Just to start, they’re affordable and comfortable. They have been a great alternative to my typical ballet flat and I can’t even say how often I’ve worn them since I opened the box. The suede gives the show the perfect texture and the bow is perfectly subtle. (As a twenty-five year old lover of bows, I appreciate this greatly.)
I love those shoes! I definitely need them for the holidays! I love your outfit, I can't wait until the weather cools down and we can wear that stuff down here in Texas 🙂
Not only do I love the shoes, but I also love the cords – perfect way to get the white jean look into the colder months. The off-white corduroy is so lovely!
Okay. I honestly, bought these on a WHIM. Total impulse buy… but the best impulse buy ever! I wear them at least twice a week! Much better option than white jeans during the winter!!!
Oh my god I love these!! When I first clicked the link to check them out I thought I wanted them in black but seeing the pictures of you wearing the blue ones I think has convinced me of the blue. Love how they make bows look grown up because I am a 21 year old bow lover.
I have been calling myself a Chill Mom™️ since having Jack and now I’m realizing that I’m even chiller with Rory. (Like is birth order really less about sibling order and more about the version of mom you’re born to?) I’ve been just rolling with Rory’s infancy and I’m so much happier. Maybe it’s just that I’m more tired with a toddler too, or know that it’s going to go by so fast, or just have more confidence… probably a combination. I feel less obsessive and less stressed out by the details. I’m “making it” without having to fake it. As an example, today I noticed I hadn’t tracked a single nap- just watching sleepy cues and trying to get to a “good enough” pattern as Rory’s naps consolidate. Is he following a ~perfect~ nap schedule? No. Are we thriving? Frankly, yes!
(If you want to read my original Chill Mom post, comment “chill mom” and l’ll send it to you via DM!)
We came, we saw elephants, we ate ice cream 🐘🦒🦓 @ashleybrooke and I always talk about how we became FAST friends. Somehow we have been right there with each other during some of life’s worst moments… so it’s extra sweet that we now get to celebrate the good ones! Watching our boys play together, a little baby in a stroller, and another baby on the way… it’s everything we dreamed of.
Somehow yesterday felt like a week, last month was last year, and last year was a decade ago… but then time is simultaneously going by so fast too. The past ten weeks have gone by in a blink! Everyone warns you it goes by fast and they’re not wrong…. The days are long but oh how I wish time would slow down a bit? Or that maybe I could bottle up a tiny bit of these precious boys at every stage so I could revisit them down the road 🤍
I have grown to LOVE baby wearing. Not only do I think it’s such a nice and cozy way to bond with baby, it’s also incredibly practical, especially when you have a toddler to keep up with too! The @wildbird aerial carrier was a treat for myself- and I’m so obsessed with it. 👶🏼 Leave a comment “wildbird” and I’ll DM you the color I have as well as my personal review of it (including some troubleshooting tips).
Some top level things I like; - it’s easy to put on! - it’s so, so comfortable (for me AND baby!) - the little flap is seamless and provides extra support while baby naps and privacy when we need/want it
This affordable rechargeable LED lamp is cute and then made even cuter with this wicker lampshade! 💡✨ No cords needed- just charge and place wherever you want. (Will be extra perfect for dining outdoors this summer!) 💫 Comment “lamp” and I’ll send you links to the LED lamp ($38 for a pair!) and the lampshade (available in a few styles- including a darling blue).
Not really in the mood to be in photos right now, but I keep telling myself I’ll want to look back on these moments and remember them. (Right?!) when I look at these photos in 10, 20, 30 years…
I hope I remember Jack “rescuing” Rory from a windy tent, not how I stood in front of my closet with tears in my eyes.
I hope I remember watching Jack roll down hills and play hop scotch and scoot down the sidewalk with his besties, not that I caught a glimpse of my reflection and didn’t recognize myself.
I hope I remember sitting outside with my friend happily watching our kids play (while watching the minutes until bedtime tick by), and not that I spent too much time zooming in and examining every new wrinkle on my face.
I hope I remember the pure joy of these early warm days with my little family whom I love so much 🤍
The weather is warming up and I’m feeling slightly more comfortable in my skin every day ☀️ Here’s what I wore last week as a mom of two. I have a two and a half year old toddler and a two month old so I need outfits I feel good in, can chase a little guy around in, AND that I can breastfeed easily while wearing. 🔗 Leave a comment with “OUTFITS” to get links to every outfit I wore!

I think it's the history-major inside of me that thinks these look like colonial style shoes? But I still love them!

I love all of the blue going on in this outfit! Those blue suede shoes are just adorable. Great for the colder temperatures.

So cute! Is there a promo code you could recommend?
I'm normally not a flats type of girl, but these shoes are changing my mind! These might just be my pick for fall.

These are just the cutest! I used to have a mustard colour pair of flats similar last Autumn, although I wore them out…xo
