This post has two of my favorite parts of summer: Lilly shift dresses and Jack Rogers sandals. It’s a tried and true combination. You can’t go wrong! Zappos carries both brands, and you can really create an endless number of options for outfits. One stop shop and really fast, free shipping. (Whenever I am unsure of a size for shoes, I always pick Zappos because the shipping is so fast. I order two and return– with free return shipping– the one that doesn’t fit.)
This particular Lilly dress spoke to me. The print is bright and punchy, which ended up being ideal for this somewhat overcast but still warm day. I also love that the lace detailing on the front breaks up the shift and makes it a little bit more interesting.
I have a ton of Jack Rogers sandals from over the years, but I decided to mix it up with this double strap style. While it’s a little different than the favorite Navajo sandal, it still has that classic Jack Rogers look and feel. (I’m just going to throw it out there that they’re way more comfortable and don’t need to be broken in!!)
I have been seriously considering getting those style Jacks for a while but I feel as though they look so weird on me! I have 4 pairs of the classic Navajo's – but I am afraid that these are also even harder to break in than my other ones! I see you think that they are more comfortable – but my friends said that they were harder to break in! would you recommend getting them? They look so good on you! xo, Mary thedashofclass.com
Carly – that fuscia lipstick looks *incredible* on you. What a gorgeous choice for spring 🙂
On a more serious level, thank you for the thought, insight, and honesty you put into this blog. You strike a really lovely balance between fun/aspirational topics (like Lilly and Jack) and more serious concerns, like adjusting to adulthood, managing relationships, and reaching one's potential. You are a gem and the work you do it important.
I created a beautiful, custom silk photo album from @printique_by_adorama to remember my sweet dog Hamilton, who passed away earlier this year. Their layflat album captured the colors and details perfectly, making each photo feel so special. It’s a keepsake I’ll cherish forever, and I’m so grateful for the quality and love they put into every page. #printiquepartner
… and yet you must. This week has been the hardest yet. Pressure from work, pressure from myself, pressure from the world. The magnitude of reality feels too much and too heavy. Showing up for my children though when I can barely show up for myself.
We’ve noticed an improvement in Teddy’s vitality and digestion since switching to @primalpetfoods Kibble in the Raw! It’s the easiest way to give him the benefits of raw nutrition without losing the convenience of dry kibble since it’s freeze dried into bites and completely scoopable. You would never guess he’s 11 years old with these moves at the park! #primalpetfoodspartner #ad
In that final home stretch of 2024 and waffling between wanting to plan out every second of my day/week/month and needing to also just fly by the seat of my pants. Holding on for dear life and telling myself to just enjoy the ride 🤪
When the boys go down for bed, sometimes it feels akin to crossing the finish line of a marathon! With my @therabody Theragun Sense, now I’m able to unwind and relax from the #WorkoutCalledLife. With step-by-step prompts on an LCD screen (and accompanying app), the Theragun Sense guides you through different recoveries depending on what your goals are. Tonight, I’m prepping for restful sleep with a six-minute guided massage! #TherabodyPartner
Halloween 2024 was one for the memory books 🏈 Rory’s first Halloween!! Jack had a blast, Rory loved tagging along, and Mike and I couldn’t stop smiling 🤍 I don’t know how many years I’ll be able to convince the boys to coordinate their costumes so really taking advantage- I bought Jack’s football player costume (customized!) and sewed Rory’s football bubble myself (Jack asked if he could throw him, which was a resounding and firm, “no.”). Now time to raid Jack’s stash 😛
#AveenoPartner If your little one has eczema prone skin, try switching to @aveenous’s Baby Daily Care Wash during bath time to cleanse without drying out their skin. We also use Aveeno Baby Eczema Therapy Nighttime Moisturizing Body Balm before bed to intensely moisturize and help protect Rory’s skin from moisture loss! Not only does his skin feel and look healthier, he’s so much more comfortable too! You can buy both of these products today on Amazon!

OMG I just bought a Lilly dress for my sister's graduation that is almost identical!! Mine has the lace that stops halfway down, but same print! 🙂
I love that Lilly and totally prefer the new double strap Jacks! They're darling with that dress!

You look so pretty! This dress looks fab on you and I'm totally swooning over your Jack Rogers. I've been dying to grab these but keep putting it off!
