YEAR FOUR

I swear, our photos with Dawn get better and better each year! We had our family photos taken last month on my Dad's property. It's the same location we used for our engagement session, so it was only fitting that we used it again for our first set as a family of three! Penny was all smiles all morning, but then was pretty straight faced every time the camera was in front of her. Ha, of course! But she ended up sneaking in a few smiles for us. I just can't stop staring at her #allthehearteyes

P.S - my dress is old Anthropologie from a few years ago, and Penny's romper is Old Navy. Wrap is a Solly Baby Wrap!

Embroidered

I've always wanted one of these embroidered Mexican dresses, so I was SO excited when I spotted this one at Buffalo Exchange. I've never moved faster towards a rack of clothes in my life. And, ya know, thats saying something. Because... me. And clothes.

Flower Child

Maybe it's the 90's kid in me, but I'm a sucker for sunflowers. So when Abby contacted me about a collaboration and asked me to choose from all of her amazing prints, I ideally gravitated towards this one. 

She had it printed on the nicest weight knit fabric for me, and I whipped it up into this easy, pull-on, no fuss dress. It's another Eucalypt tank dress that i simply blocked off at the bottom with some solid black for contrast. And, voila. A simple piece that will get me through both summer and fall!

Don't forget to check out all of Abby's work. You can get them printed on all sorts of things!

Happy July! 

I'm slowly but surely tackling all the sewing projects that I prepped while I was pregnant. First up - this tie waist Axel skirt! I fell in love with this pattern when my friend Megan released it, so it shot right to the top of my to-do list. And I'm kind of obsessed with this floral scuba knit fabric that I chose, even though it kind of camouflages the tie detail of the skirt in photos. It looks so much better in real life!
