I had to share more from the Kate Spade presentation I attended last week. It’s my favorite NYFW event by far (and the only one I opted to attend this year!). I simply can’t miss it. This year certainly did not disappoint.
The entire room was packed with thousands and thousands of fresh blooms. It must have been the most fragrant fashion week event ever.
I feel like Kate Spade constantly raises the quirky bar with every season. The spotted puppy straw bag? I melt.
This was my favorite little lineup. I died over the flirty and flouncy dresses. Light pink and black is hard to pull off without looking cheesy and I think they did it so well here! But my favorite favorite model and outfit?! This chic and sparkly little number:
I mean, is she rocking that or what? The neckline and cap sleeves… yes.
Every guest was invited to take home a bouquet of flowers. I loved this oh-so-Kate-Spade touch.
Need. This. Bow. Back. Dress.
Can’t wait, here are some of my current favorites:

Now we know that after the winter, flowers will bloom again. Gives you hope. I love the shoes and the dress with the big pink bow on the back, amongst other things. Must have been so fun!!!!
Oh my goodness! I wonder if that pink bow back dress will be out in time for my 25th birthday! It's absolutely gorgeous. I can't get over how cute that little dalmatian bag is. Is it spring yet?!
Love all the behind-the-scene photos. Looks like there are some super cute pieces to look forward to this spring. Thanks for sharing! — SC at Samantha Chic
This looks like such a fun presentation. Each year I can't wait to sneak a peek at the Kate Spade presentations because there are so many quirky and fun touches! I love the ruffled pastel pink dresses, seriously swoon-worthy!
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 love all the floral prints!
