Show the Love: V Day Tops For You & Your Kids

With snow days turning busy schedules upside down, I thought it best to focus on something fun. Like wearing something cute to show some love. 

And with Valentine's Day approaching, there is the perfect excuse to sport something with a touch of kitsch. Something that I do not normally do, as I find most shirts with quotes or graphics not great. BUT, in the spirit of love, I am into it. 

Hearts and love for you and your littles.

Not So Basic Basics for Fall

Though the temperatures say differently, Fall is here. With sweaters pilled and shirts with spots (honestly, why does everything have a stain on it?!), an update of last year's basics that were worn to their death is in need. I pulled a bunch of pieces for a friend while doing a closet refresh and loved all of these. The perfect additions that you can wear every day, week, and month until it is time to break out the shorts and flips again. 

1. I love the soft feel of this Blue Corduroy Blazer, the color is so great, but it also comes in neutrals. 

2. This really is the perfect shirt by Cloth & Stone. It also comes in a pretty coral. 

3.  A perfect Pointy Toe Flat, that is not too pointy. 

4. I live in this dress at home. Sweatshirt dress

5.  LOVE this J. Crew Stripe Turtleneck Sweater

6. A little edge to go with your morning coffee. Faux Leather knit cardigan

7. This Nars Velvet Matt Lipstick Pencil in Dragon Girl is such a go to. A foolproof red that looks great on everyone. And you can layer it for just a stain or full blown vamp. 

8. These Rails plaid shirts are so soft, machine washable, and a great update to the flannel. 

9. The updated skin pant from J. Crew everyone is raving about. 

10. A cozy Shawl Open Collar Cardigan that comes in a few colors. 

11. A Stripe sweater dress that can be worn day or night. 

12. A little investment in a J.Crew T-Shirt Cashmere Sweater will go a long way. 

I also love these Tights and these Leggings. Staples for under dresses, tunics, and long sweaters all winter long. 

Happy Weekend friends!

Time for Spring Breaking

Are you off somewhere warm? Hope so. 

I am a little late on my Spring Break packing post as I know that some of you might already be on yours or headed out of town, but my packing does not start until next week so here I am. Since the kids stuff takes up at least half of our packing space, I like to keep things light and coordinated. Makes it easy to not only pack, but to pick what to wear once you are there.  Here is what I am going to bring (either the exact or close match to) this year...

1. A straw bag that doesn't mind a little sand, but fits everything. Hat Attack $95

2. My fave mineral sunscreen powder now comes in spf 50. It is waterproof and gives you a nice even coverage. Sunscience $64 (lasts forever)

3. Worship these frames from Warby Parker $95

4. A actual packable hat that can get squished in your bag. J. Crew $34

5. Soft PJs that wash well, look nice, and are ok for your in laws to see you in. J. Crew $58

6. This suit looks great with cut off shorts and flips. Total 90s throwback. J. Crew $88 (many colors)

7. A breezy and sweet cover up. J. Crew $69

(Think I have enough J. Crew going on? Geez. But kind of obsessed with everything there lately and there seems to be a sale every day.)

These tops...

From Left: 

A gauzey, boho blouse with tassels that goes with everything. BB Dakota $85

Remember when tanks had shelf bras in them in the early 00s? Yea, J. Crew is making them again. $24

My love for Cloth & Stone runs deep, and this coral button down is so soft and perfect. $88

A forgiving, but sweet ruffle top for big dinners out. d.Ra $84

All the tops can be worn with each of these shorts...

1. Easily the best pair of lace shorts I have bought. Loft $59 (other colors available)

2. A sweet pair of floral drawstring shorts. Minkpink $59

3. My go to J. Crew cut offs. $79

4. Who doesn't love a skort? And I love the print/woven material. Cupcakes & Cashmere $100

Dresses for different occasions...

I am a sucker for Parker and I love this silhouette. $265

This dress could go from the beach straight to dinner. Loft $79 + 25% off today

A little ballet nod in a super flattering cut. Susana Monaco $170 (yellow also, $119)

I swear by the three pairs of shoes rule. All you need...

1. A wedge that matches everything when you want a lift. Loeffler Randall $275

2. A flip flop that can hang by the pool or be paired with a dress later. J. Crew $50 (also in back)

3. A white sneaker for everywhere else. Adidas $74 (check out the sizing notes when ordering)

Anything you cannot leave behind? Would love to hear. 

Happy Travels!

Take A Peek

As we have seen on some of our favorite leading ladies, going sheer can be done tastefully. 

Jennifer may be pushing the boundaries a bit, but it still works. Going sheer is a great way to layer in the warmer months and a fun way to be a bit daring without actually showing much skin. 

Staples in my closet include a ton of sheer tanks, tees and blouses that are layered with something light underneath, a lacy bralet, or a bold colored one. 

Two on left are Top Secret, bralet on left is The Lake & Stars

So many designers have been using this layering in pieces, but not in a garish way. Whether it is a glimpse at a shoulder, a wrist, the small of your back, there is something really coquette-ish about getting a glimpse through your clothes, without actually seeing anything taboo. 

1. DKNY stretch silk crepe de chine blouse Net-A-Porter $185

2. Sheer knit top from Forever 21 $15

3. Solstice print pink maxi skirt Topshop $100

4. Elisabeth and James Trish sheer shoulder dress at CUSP $395

5. Sheer boyfriend dress shirt Calvin Klein $40

6. Beyond Vintage sheer V-neck blouse at CUSP $180

8. Jay Godfrey Santorini cape-sleeve dress at CUSP $265

9. Halston Heritage pleated chiffon dress Net-A-Porter $455

10. Pink sheer scallop beaded crop vest Topshop $76

11. Alice & Olivia Cassie sheer-stripe cardigan CUSP $275

12. Sheer camel shirt from Victoria's Secret $39

13. Maddie dress by Goldie Topshop $96
