Shop Woodfield Mall for Mother's Day!

One of my favorite things about Mother's Day is shopping for it! It's a rare moment that I am sans children and can take my time perusing different stores without the pressure of finding a bathroom, a snack or having someone complain about walking too far. Yes folks, the struggle is real. Toddler life is HARD!

This week was a different story. I had the opportunity to spend three glorious hours all to myself and it was AMAZING. I grew up shopping at Woodfield Mall which has more stores than you could humanly visit in three hours but that's beside the point. It was uninterrupted shopping which is a gift in and of itself! I visited stores that I had never even heard og which was slightly distracting as the task at hand was: find mom a gift for Sunday. Oops!

I'm not going to share what I bought her because she is one of my biggest blog fans BUT let's just say I'd take one for myself, too! With over 300 retailers, it was hard to make a decision. Favorite Mother's Day storefronts included Arhaus Furniture, White Barn Candle Co., Columbia Sportswear, SIX:02, Altar’d State, Vera Bradley and Tumi. 

Really - I could spend days there. I'm up for the challenge.

Quite possibly the best part about my excursion was running into fellow blogger friend, Anna! We had an opportunity to catch up, take suggestions and finish our day with a big ol' margarita @ Kinfork - a new dining destination which is utterly adorable. 

I'd have to say - I really like the way this Mother's Day is shaping up. I hope you have an amazing weekend with your family and don't forget to head to Woodfield Mall for all of your last minute shopping needs! #TGIF #FoundatWoodfieldMall #WeHeartMom

I’m not quite ready for resort wear so indulge me as I round up my favorite Revolve pieces for February. I’ve gotten several requests through my DMs on Instagram for Revolve over the last few months. I never knew I had so many closet Revolve shoppers.

Can you believe we are almost done with the first month of 2022?

It’s no secret that I consider myself an Amazon expert when it comes to finding cheap and chic fashion. It’s what I live for! Let’s just say I’ve been busy this holiday season and while I do love the “one for me, one for you” methodology…I will be 100% truthful in that I am gifting any one of these pieces to someone I love. I just can’t say who because it’s December 23rd!

The BEST gold sequin dresses for the holidays.
The BEST gold sequin dresses for the holidays.

Despite an incredibly tumultuous two years in pandemic world, I think this year’s holiday festivities will be quite the cause for celebration. And while we are not out of the woods yet, we all have plans to gather and sparkle and shine! Righteously so, too. It’s been a long two years and quite frankly, I don’t think you should reserve your sequins for NYE only. Sequins and fanciness are for everyday with a few small tweaks. Take it from a girl who eats sequins for breakfast.

Hi gals! Things are rocking and rolling this month and I am sure your calendar looks no different! Popping on here to say there are a multitude of ways you can stay connected to me as the holiday insanity ensues. Your girl is creating unique, original content on all social media channels which means no two days are the same.

As my seasonal closet sale approaches, I am once again purging and making room for new pieces, albeit the classics with a twist. Antiquated denim, fits that no longer interest me, patterns and prints that essentially need a new home. And much like the trajectory of this blog, I’ve continue to reach for the classics…the pieces you can really mix and match; the pieces that deliver on ROI.

Dining Room Makeover

We inherited my parents French, dining room table when we bought the house and it’s one of my favorite pieces. The natural wood and curvature fit perfectly into our formal dining room despite being over 20 years old. They don’t make furniture like this any longer. Along with it, we inherited the formal dining chairs which we repaired and reupholstered as well.

My 2am Amazon Prime Purchases.
My 2am Amazon Prime Purchases.

I had absolutely zero intention of discussing, partaking or posting about Amazon Prime Days. Not out of rebellion but because I really wasn’t feeling it. Like the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, it is literally crammed down our throats. But then….uhhhhh, well I have a summer cold and it’s causing me a bout of insomnia. Mostly because I cannot breathe. Anyhoo…

Quickie post today as I spent the weekend literally spending all my money on May holidays and birthdays. May is pure insanity for us every year. It’s the fastest month that usually leaves me feel like I have whiplash come June 1.
