Thank you to Collective Voice and Vuori for sponsoring this post. Summer mode is easy to get lost in…. go to bed late, sleep in later and later and later. Sticking to the routine of being the first one awake makes the day feel so much more productive. Even if it is a few moments of silence, that is enough to activate my day. Morning Meditation Drinking hot coffee while repeating a few inspiring mantras counts as meditation right? Maybe I slept in it, maybe I didn’t, but I begin and end every day by wearing my luxurious DreamKnit™ fabric. The Halo Performance Crop and the Boyfriend Short are th ..read more

When I think of summer fashion there are a few things that instantly come to mind: Pretty dresses, strappy sandals, denim shorts and tees. Sweaters are not typically top of mind, but one piece not to be overlooked is the summer cardigan. Even in 92 degree sweltering heat, sometimes a girl still needs her trusty layer. The summer cardigan is the perfect companion for those chilly summer nights, when the air conditioning is pumping or even just draped over your shoulders for a chic “accessory”. Check out a few summer cardigans below and our favorite ways to wear them…. J.Crew Factory Beach Cardi ..read more

Thank you to Gap + Collective Voice for sponsoring this post. What do I love about summer, you ask? Waking up to birds chirping, sleeping past 6:42am, NOT packing lunches (jk my kids pretty much buy 100% of the time), sun, swimming, the smell of sunscreen, eating outside, flowers, ice pops, fresh cut grass, longer days, well behaved children who play nicely together all day and don’t trash the house while I’m at work and I can come home and enjoy a lovely evening outside with them chasing fireflies….or something like that. Summer. It’s a vibe. And the best way I can fully embody this special t ..read more

Thank you to Nordstrom + Collective Voice for sponsoring this post. For as long as I can remember, as soon as the weather is consistently above 76 degrees, my summer uniform comes out in full effect. I workout, shower, then immediately gravitate towards denim shorts + graphic tees. To me, that combo is the epitome of summer. If the line, “she wore those cheeky graphic tees and some worn-in denim shorts” (sung in my best country twang) isn’t already a lyric in a country song, well then it should be. I can already see the music video, but I digress. When it comes to my beloved “uniform”, you can ..read more

Memorial Day Weekend is here, which means it’s officially or unofficially summer! Either way the sun is out and the heat is on. My kids live in sports clothes during the year and swimsuits in the summer. I find that when I pack for them for the beach that I mostly just pack swimsuits and t-shirts. I just bought each of my kid one of these $20 swimsuits – they come in the most fun patterns and yes they are $20. I’ve rounded up my favorites from tots and teens and everything in between. Just don’t forget the sunscreen! Blue Rashguard | PinkChicken Pug Swimsuit | WeeFarers Pink Sunglasses | Tropi ..read more
