Chic Crochet

This is a summer look that I think is cute, but easily thrown together. You look like you didn't try to hard - because you didn't! I love that it's relaxed and comfortable, but chic. I'd go to a beach bonfire or Coachella like this if I still lived in SoCal. I got this top from Buckle last month and I absolutely adore it. I can wear it so many ways with so many things.

Here, it is simply paired with a black tank top and jean shorts...I think the Minnetonka moccasin boots make it even more Boho.

Colorfully Boho

This top was a lucky find at my local Marshall's. It's so colorful and fun...flowy and definitely has a Boho vibe to it. I've worn it a few different ways. I love to bring out the pops of pink with my Kate Spade bag and even sometimes my pink Valentino rockstud pumps! But I'm very in love with my Vince Camuto heels from Nordstrom right now, and they are so versatile for summer outfits.

What I Want Wednesday: Boho Chic

I easily get myself in trouble doing searches on the Internet for beautiful Boho tops and dresses...but I simply can't resist. I'd love for these {or something very similar} to hit my closet soon.

How stunning is this dress? Perfect for a night out this summer.

Gypsy 05 Spaghetti Maxi Dress

This dress is amazing...I love all the colors and the pattern. I would actually wear it as a top with jeans.

Tolani Murphy Dress

 Same with this one...it could easily work as a top or a dress. Would be great layered.

X Revolve Bella Dress

I love a good strapless maxi with a fun pattern...

Ella Moss Convertible Maxi Dress

What have you been drooling over lately?

Monday Musings

We have had quite a bit of rain in Charleston lately and I am soooo ready for that to be done for a while. It's hard to entertain children all weekend indoors. This weekend I was actually getting the gift of a "free" day to just have to myself - go shopping, get stuff done, etc...that is otherwise way hard with kiddos in tow. I went to TJ Maxx, Marshalls and Buckle and I found quite a few nice things! I also managed to squeeze in a 1" trim of my hair {I'm trying to grow it a few more inches, but it was in desperate need of some pruning on the ends.}

Saturday night, Jake and I finally got to go out for my birthday. I had wanted to go bowling instead of doing the same old dinner and a movie blah, so we went to The Alley in downtown Charleston. Unfortunately, their wait for a lane was way too long, so we just parked it at the bar for a while, but we did have a really good time. We stopped at a bar near our house on the way home to cap off the night. It was nice to get out, for sure.

Sunday was a typical, lazy Sunday. I did get some of the usual chores done, we went to church, etc...but mostly we just spent the day indoors {damn rain} playing games and watching movies with the kids. Farrah is so good at crawling now {finally!} so we have to keep quite a close watch on her these days. She's getting so talkative too...and still just sweet as ever.

This was Sunday's outfit...white top is from Buckle and colorful one is from TJ Maxx...they layered so well together! I'll have an outfit post soon with all the deets.

I think it's safe to say my go-to style is officially Boho these days. I've always loved that look, but my closet it almost all that now it seems! I feel like it's timeless though...it'll be stuff I can keep and put away for Farrah some day and she'll probably still think it's all fabulous 16 years from now. I love how it's a bit of my SoCal style...and it's so pretty, yet relaxed.

I have to share this awesome railing my husband made for a client's house {a $5M house on Kiawah Island!}...he texted it to me. If you love the nautical, beachy theme, you'll love this:

He's super-talented, right? I love all the work he has done in our home...I hope one day we can build a house and he can put awesome touches like this in it.

This week I'm getting back in the swing of things with workouts. Last week started out good, but a work function and other things got in the way of my original plans later in the week. I've got Barre class on Monday and Wednesday {by the way, got an email about the instructor auditions and they are still deciding who and how many they want to hire, plus are doing a couple make-up auditions, so that's why I hadn't heard anything all week. Still crossing my fingers!} and I'm definitely going to run a good bit this week...I need some cardio in my life.

Have a great week, y'all! xo

Free Flowing

I love this top so so much...I caught it on sale at Nordstrom's anniversary sale a couple of months ago. It's by Free People, one my all-time favorite brands. I thought it looked like a perfect comfortable top to wear while doing all that things that come with being a mom while still looking pretty dang cute. I had never seen a top cut this way before and was a little nervous it might end up looking odd on me, but I am really pleased with it and bonus points for uniqueness! Here, I've just gone for a minimalist look and paired it with skinny jeans and boots.
