One of my biggest pet peeves with iPhones is how quickly the battery dies. If I only check email and send the occasional text, I can get it to last all day. But more often than not (aka all the time), I’m scrolling through Instagram, snapping photos and videos, watching my friends’ Snapchats. My battery doesn’t cut it. When I’m on the go, it’s especially annoying because I look like a crazy person searching for outlets at restaurants and coffee shops and even stores desperate for a few extra percentages before hitting the road again.
Kate Spade just launched their collaboration with Everpurse and it’s perfect for modern girls on the go.
They sent me a little wristlet just in time for fashion week. It’s pretty slim and the bulk of its width is dedicated to the charging device. However, it’s the perfect size for your true essentials. And it tucks away nicely into a larger tote or backpack. (I always keep a small bag inside of my big totes so if I have to run to the bathroom or get up from a table to order another coffee at a cafe I don’t have to lug my entire tote with me. It’s also perfect if you know you’re going to be ditching your work or school bag and doing something fun at night.)
I carried mine at the Kate Spade fashion show and fit all the items above plus my small camera (and about 10 pony tail holders).
Love the gold lettering on the side.
The bags come with little charging docks to fit iPhone 5, 6, and 6+ (insert praising hands emoji). You can swap them out depending on the size of your phone. Then your phone just clicks right into place and you can get a 2-day phone charge out of the bag before needing to recharge the bag.
The charging mat for the wristlet is super simple. It plugs into the wall and the wristlet pops into place like a magnet.
This is a really cool (and stylish) concept, I would love something like this. Actually, I would've killed for something like this back when I was in university!
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 ordered this but it got canceled! Too bad they can't ship it to CA due to it not meeting environmental regulations!
Liz @ ShoppingMyCloset.com
OMG that's terrible! Does that mean that Kate Spade is not "environmental friendly" or that CA is just too picky?

Does it fit with your phone case on or do you have to go caseless?
This is brilliant!
Where's your monogram card case from?
I love this idea! And it's so cute, as well as so useful!

I remember seeing Everpurse a while ago and thinking it was such a great concept! Love that they have a Kate Spade version now.

I saw it and though I'm an android user now, but this so perfect.
