Thirty-five, not so flirty (more newd and lude IYKYK), and questionably thriving. 🎂🎈💆🏻♀️🫶🏻
August, you were long, hot, and stormy. And you were also oh so full with Jack’s third birthday, perfectly lazy afternoons at the pond, and all the brotherly love you could hope for as a mama. 🫶🏻☀️🎂🤍💫
About a year late to the Barbie pink 🩷 (this @tuckernuck dress is perfection right?!) #tuckernucking
This poem by @josiebalka came at the perfect time for me. I first heard it at the end of my pregnancy when I was feeling unfit and swollen and exhausted. Then it became my mantra this summer. My jeans are, in fact, a bigger size this year than they were last year. Many days this summer I didn’t want to put on my bathing suit. I didn’t want to go into the water. I didn’t want to wear the shorts or the sleeveless dresses. I have @josiebalka’s poem saved on my phone so I could give it another listen as a little pep talk before getting dressed. 🫶🏻 As summer winds down, I’m so glad I swam in the pool, pond, lake, and ocean with my boys! I’m so glad I wore the bathing suit for slip n slides and shorts to be comfortable in the heat waves and the sleeveless dresses that spoke to me!

Generally save. If it is something trendy, then I buy it cheap. If its something I know I will wear for a long time, I am willing to spend a lot more on it.
I love this post, although now that I know that amazing Kate Spade watch exists, I might have to make it mine 🙂

For me, it really depends. If I find something that's kind of similar but not quite right to what I'm looking for, I've learned to pass and buy the exact style I have in mind. If I buy something that I don't love, it's wasted money because in the end I won't use it. I also scour eBay for vintage – I can generally find something authentic and less expensive that's unique. Take for example enamel bracelets. To find a good enamel bracelet that won't chip on you and will last, one can generally expect to pay a somewhat hefty price. I can find a vintage enamel bracelet usually for less on eBay. I find that one typically will need to be patient and spend time looking for the right item, buy the trending item (with its price tag), or buy a cheap imitation that might sort of work. But you never know, sometimes you get lucky!
great options! For trendy costume jewelry I try to find cheaper pieces however if I really like something I'll cave even if it's overpriced!
Great post! I don't know if you have seen them, but Etsy has necklaces that look almost identical to the Jcrew ones for only $20.
Such a cool post! I just did a similar post on my blog and people really liked it. I'm all for buying designer items, but sometimes it's cool to buy the knockoffs as well 🙂

I've been eyeing that bubble necklace for quite some time. Now I definitely want the knock-off, you can't beat that price.

If it will be a timeless piece that I can wear for a long time, I'll splurge on it because I want it to last. If it is just to spruce up an outfit or to bring trends into my fashion choices, I won't spend much money on it. Great choices!
