I am not super into Valentine’s Day… in fact, I’ve never had a “Valentine” ever. (Although there was this incident in eighth grade involving conversation hearts during P.E. class….) I do like to get in the spirit just a little bit.
Even if it is only my outfit.
Weather permitting… I will likely be wearing this Lilly Pulitzer Jonah Dress. I mean, really… it’s perfect for Valentine’s Day!
I do have to figure out what shoes I’m wearing… and I’m definitely going to have to wear tights if it’s cold. My platinum Jack Rogers flats will probably win that one.
Valentine’s Day does fall on a Tuesday this year, which means that some of us will be in classes. The first outfit is classroom approved. In case you are one of the lucky ones, I’m including a fun little date night outfit as well.
If you couldn’t tell, I’m feeling the black + red this year. Quite sophisticated, no?
My plan is to wear my Jonah as well. Such a fun print and perfect length for school/work. I will probably pair with tights and boots for the cold Northeast!
I love these outfits! That Lilly dress is so cute! I am struggling with what to wear out to dinner with my fiancee on Tuesday night! The weather will most likely be freezing and unpleasant, but I want to wear a dress!
Cute outfits! I especially love that Lilly dress! So cute!!! You'll look just great on Valentine's Day. I unfortunatley will be in class all day… 🙁 No fun! Haha!
Great outfit Carly! I love the colored denim with the nautical look. And I chose to do a black dress as well and incorporated the color in the accessories!! Hope you have a wonderful weekend and Happy Valentine's Day!! Toodles, Twirling Clare twirlingclare.blogspot.com
I have not yet decided! It will probably be pink though. Love the Jonah dress but I still have not bought one. I love that striped top/red pants outfit! Must add it to Pinterest. 🙂
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!
This room is so very special 🤍 The little cars sprinkled everywhere (watch your step!). A tiny sock, never two, peeled off and tucked somewhere hidden away. Piles of books that grow almost as quickly as the little boy who sleeps here. Outgrown pants and shoes to grow into mingling in the closet. Often messy, and a little cluttered, but a little boy lives here. 🚘☀️🐶📚🧸
(Rory is still in our room, but eventually the boys will share. I can picture their little twin beds already!)
About ten days ago, I noticed that today’s forecast was looking WARM. I told Mike, “We’re walking into town and sitting outside and I’m getting a beer. Put it on your calendar.” It ended up being warmer than forecasted (almost eighty degrees!) and let me tell you, it delivered. Today felt like the beginning of The Season™: dinners al fresco, beers/fries/ice creams, and late bedtimes. Indulging in it all because the kids are only getting older and we’re the grownups (somehow) and we get to make the rules ✌🏻

@pennylinndesigns and I hosted a “learn to needlepoint” class this past weekend and it was everything ✨ Needlepoint has been such a bright spot in my life over the past five years- and it’s gotten me through some difficult times. Because it’s helped me so much, sharing this hobby with others has turned into a mini life mission of mine. To sit in a room (my beautiful office space designed by @clare.sull!) with pro stitchers and needlepoint newbies alike was one of my dreams come true. I loved seeing women chatting, meeting, and bonding over this beautiful craft 🪡 Honestly, the needlepoint world is (sadly) filled with a lot of gatekeeping and competitiveness; this weekend proved that it doesn’t have to- and shouldn’t- be this way! It’s for EVERYONE. Whether you’ve never picked up a canvas in your life or you’re working on heirloom stockings for your family, there’s room for everyone at this table.
📍 Leave a comment saying “needlepoint” and I’ll send you my go-to resources for getting started with needlepoint!
Very cute! I feel ya on the whole never having a valentine thing- most likely my outfit will fit my mood: black, black, and more black. 😛
Since my boyfriend lives out of town, we won't be doing anything! But I love the idea of dressing up for it anyway!
i love that gorgeous lilly dress!
That Lilly dress is adorable! Which print is that?

I love your taste! We came up with a similar outfit 🙂
And I've never had a Valentine either. Boo! Here's to being single on VDay!
That Lilly dress is the cutest! And I've also been loving the black and red combo lately. I'll probably be wearing a black dress with red tights!
And I've also never had a Valentine. Ah well.
