Can You Wear White Before Memorial Day?

If there's one fashion question I get asked often, it's "Can I wear white before Memorial Day?". It's going to be 100 degrees here in Arizona and we still have a few weeks left until Memorial Day. So our summer outfits are definitely out in full force. See, most of the fashion "rules" are according to the season, and rightfully so. After all, how ridiculous would you look trekking through the snow in a pair of white pants? They'd be muddied up, ruined and ready for the trash. But ... View the Post

At-Home Date Night Made Easy with Drinkworks

This post is sponsored by Drinkworks® Home Bar by Keurig®. All opinions are 100% my own. Content for 21+ Please enjoy responsibly.  We’ve been having at-home date nights long before it was pretty much mandated. With two kids under 5 in the house, getting a sitter or even having the energy to go out isn’t always easy!  But making the time to connect, even if it’s an at-home date night, is so so important.  We typically enjoy a glass of wine or cocktail together ...

Spring Abercrombie Try-On Haul

I'm so excited to share this Abercrombie spring try-on haul with you because before this, I hadn't shopped at Abercrombie in YEARS! In fact, I'm pretty sure the last time I had stepped into an Abercrombie store was in High School. But, I kept seeing some bloggers share the absolute cutest bodysuits from A&F and I ordered a few and was definitely wow'ed! And now, it's my turn. I'm so pleased with this spring Abercrombie try-on haul and think you will be too! Enjoy. These ... View the Post

BYE, 2020! Are you staying up until midnight tonig BYE, 2020!
Are you staying up until midnight tonight or headed to bed? 

I have zero intentions of staying up partying, unless it’s in my jammies and with Netflix! 

It’s the 2020 way, after all. And I intend on honoring that. ✨🥂💗
Wishing you a merry Christmas from our family to y Wishing you a merry Christmas from our family to yours! 
I’ve spent the whole day thinking about what this year has brought us. And how much we’ve all been through in such a short period of time.

Truthfully? It’s almost too much to digest. 

But isn’t it funny how we all soldier on even as we think we’ve been served more than we can handle?

I’m constantly amazed at the resilience we all have. How we’ve been pushed to the max, and then some. 

And yet, there is so much beauty and growth in this it would be remiss to ignore it.

I’m filled with so much gratitude for this and all of our blessings. (And not in a cheesey IG #blessed way with a photo of a brand new car). But a true, deep sense of gratitude for our family and health this holiday season.

This year might look different. But it is no less joyful or love-filled than any holiday before it. 

And I hope yours is, too. Sending lots of love and good wishes your way! 💗💗🎄🎄✨✨

To last year’s Slava. This one will be a lot quieter. 

Minimal table setting since our decor is stuck in storage. 

No guests outside our bubble and missing those who can’t celebrate with us today.

Luckily, we still have: plenty of love, family, health, food and lots to be grateful for this season. And that’s more than enough. ✨✨ #LWMstyle #slava2020
GIFTS WITH HEART Loving this gorgeous piece from @ GIFTS WITH HEART
Loving this gorgeous piece from @eliafulmen [ad] as a reminder to stay grounded and remain at peace, something that's easily lost in the chaos of motherhood (and 2020).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These are all 14k gold vermeil and just stunning. I love that you can choose a charm that feels empowering to you and the necklace can be worn so many different ways!

Head to the link in my bio to explore more. You know I can be particular about my jewelry and I think this is such a gorgeous gift idea for her, or yourself! #eliafulmenpartner #LWMstyle

Remember those days when you’d just snap a selfie and instantly upload to Instagram? Seriously missing the simplicity behind those days.

No filters. No hashtags. No editing. Just a memorable instant, captured. Like this unexpected moment when I was on the floor taking photos for a project and Grey decided he needed to be a part of it. 🥰😻 #LWMstyle
