I'm sure I've mentioned it before (and you may have already taken notice), but I tend to dress more feminine in the spring & summer months than any other time of year. I'm all about embracing pretty pastels, pinks & figure-flattering silhouettes. Something about the warm weather just brings out my girly side! I feel like I don't hear a lot about JCPenney in the blogging community & I'm not sure why - every time I go into the store, I walk out with something fabulous + they ... View the Post

Now that my kids are out of school, I feel like summer can finally begin. We've been having lots of rain this week, but the weekend forecast is sunny & warm and I'm so ready for it!!

I hope the season is off to a great start for you too - here are the sales to take note of this weekend + my favorite affordable top finds: Ann Taylor: 40% off your purchase with code ...

India Q&A: What I’m Packing
Since I began sharing more about my India trip on social media, I've been getting hundreds of questions coming in. So, I thought it might be easiest to share all the details in a comprehensive post here, rather then sending the same information over & over to different people via DM. It's hard to believe that I'll be leaving exactly 3 weeks from today - I'm getting more excited as time goes on, but I also still have so much to do to prepare! I'll be sharing a separate post in a couple ... View the Post
Summer Ease
This post is sponsored by Nordstrom and ShopStyle. All opinions are 100% honest & all items were hand-selected by me. Summer is officially here! The warm weather is here to stay, my kids are finally out of school & we get to live life at a slightly slower pace (with no sports games, class parties or music lessons to go to). This is my favorite time of year because the days are longer & we end up getting so much more quality family time. Even though I'm someone who loves to ... View the Post

Weekly Top Finds
I've been a little MIA this week due to end-of-year duties at school & helping my kids study for their finals - I honestly don't remember it being so intense when I was their age! I've also got a busy weekend ahead full of India prep (getting all of my immunizations today - eek!). I should be back to a normal blog posting schedule next week, but before the weekend hits, I wanted to highlight a few sales for you & some great deals I've come across recently. I decided to do a slightly ... View the Post
My Monthly Edit
LOVING As someone who has a unusually large head, finding hats that fit well has always been a challenge for me. In the past, I've been known to venture into the men's section to find panama hats in bigger sizes that will work. So, I'm personally thrilled about the straw visor trend that's happening this season. I always make it a point to have my face covered when I'm out in the sun & I love that these toppers are both packable & versatile. The best part is that they're all ... View the Post
