WIW: All Over Anthro

If there is one store that only allow myself a visit to only when they're having a sale it's Anthropologie. Why? Because I will literally buy everything in the store whether it's for the home or my closet, I want everything in that place. So once a season I allow myself to go there even though I rarely buy solely from the sale section. But it does keep me from grabbing everything and running to the register. Like those cute little vintage aprons, do I really need one!? Probably not. But do I want one? YES! 

And the outfit I'm sharing with you all today, I literally couldn't contain myself when I laid eyes on it. This jumper is an attention grabber. The print and the cut-out back! I knew I had to have it. Plus as soon as I put it on I didn't want to take it off. It is unbelievably soft. Paired with my Ava Tortie's from Anthro as well, I was dressed in a matter of seconds. One bonus of a great jumper/romper, there's no need to stare into your closet forever contemplating outfits.

A Day At The Fair

No Summer would be complete without a trip to the local county fair. Check out some pictures from our junk food eating, fun filled day at the fair.

 The first prize of the day! Boy was she excited to win this giraffe.

 Love these sweet little moments between Daddy and his baby girl.

 Just chilling on the steps waiting for Big Sis to get off the ride.

Check out Big Sis racing away in the background. She was so excited to be riding all by herself like a big girl.

"Look no hands, Mommy!" My little daredevil.

Fair food. So bad for you but tastes so good! Mac & cheese topped philly cheese steak sandwich. Yum!

Baby Sis getting a ride from Daddy.

 What would the fair be without a little face painting. 

Baby Sis was happy to just be at the fair, she didn't care she was too small for the rides.

WIW: Hot Pink + Stripes

What is there not to love about the color pink!?! It's my favorite color and with 2 little girls we never have a shortage of pink in our house.

I snagged this pink shirt dress last year during one of J. Crew's many sales, and have found that it's the perfect little dress to just throw on and run out the door. It's comfy and always looks pulled together. When in doubt I turn to this hot pink number. And I never fail to receive compliments on it.  But this time I had reason to pull this pink number out, my new striped flats. I just picked these up over at Shoedazzle. They're the perfect summer flat. Nothing better then pink and stripes.

Steal Her Style: Gwyneth Paltrow's Preppy Stripes

For this month's first Steal Her Style post, I wanted to share Gwyneth Paltrow's stripes on stripes look. First off, stripes is one of those tried and true prints that stays in style all year long. And secondly mixing prints and patterns seems to be a hot trend this Spring and Summer, so why not mix up your stripes. What makes this look work is the play on light and dark. 

I chose to use Gwyn's look as an inspiration for my outfit, but modified a few things to work for me. The hemline of Gwyn's skirt while gorgeous on her, just doesn't work on my 5'4 frame. It would make my legs appear shorter and so I chose to go with a body con skirt that hit just above the knee.

Crew [last seen here, use code "summer" to get an additional 25% off] | Skirt: Forever 21 [old, similar here] | Shoes: unknown [similar here] | Necklace: Groopdealz | Watch: Target | Bracelet: Lotus Blossom Design c/o [P&P and LBD collaboration floral enamel bracelet available now]| Sunnies: House of Harlow | Baby Sis wearing Juicy Couture via Ebay

Whose style should I steal next?  Come back for a fabulous giveaway tomorrow. And as always Thanks for following! 

WIW: White Out

I've been dying to try this white on white trend for some time now, but I've been terrified too. Chasing 2 toddlers around all day isn't the cleanest job, which has kept me from trying this trend sooner. But I decided to give it a chance over the weekend. And thank goodness I took these pictures in the AM because I definitely got food on myself just minutes after taking these. If there's no chance of spilling on yourself then go on and try out this all white look. But if you're prone to spills and stains make sure you've packed one of those bleach pens in your bag the day you wear all white.

Lastly, some of you may be wondering what happened to Two-fer Tuesday's. Well now that we're in June I wanted to start a new series, "Steal Her Style," where I will share celebrity inspired looks. I received so much positive feedback on my recent Inspired by MK & Ashley post that I thought it would be fun to make it a weekly thing. So, please leave comments letting me know which celebrity styles you envy and who knows I just may "Steal Her Style." Look for my first post later this week.

WIW: Denim on Denim

Hello June!
Hope you had a wonderful first weekend of June and are experiencing beautiful warm weather as we head into Summer.

This weekend, I stumbled across this adorable printed denim skirt at my favorite place, Target. I couldn't leave without it. Denim is an essential to anyone's wardobe, that great pair of jeans, shorts, and shirts, I have them all, but the only thing that was missing from my wardrobe was a great denim skirt. Granted I worked at Abercrombie in college so I do have a stash of denim mini skirts, but I don't find them ever appropriate to wear any longer. Not only are they literally mini, but they're just so not cool any longer. I don't know why I still have them. But my closet was in dire need of a denim skirt for this Summer. And along comes this skirt, with it's tribal print and light wash, I knew it was the perfect skirt for Summer.

Also, the fit of this skirt is incredible! I've never had anything from Target fit so perfectly. So if you're looking for this skirt, know that it does run a bit smaller then other Target bottoms. And if you're petite, the XS is very true to size. I find that Target does vanity size and often times their XS do not fit as a XS should which usually leads me to hot washing and shrinking. I won't ever buy anything from Target that requires tailoring, it's just not worth it, but a hot wash to shrink before I first wear it is not totally out of the question. But this skirt fit without any hot washes. So I definitely recommend this for you petite gals looking for a cheap but cute denim skirt.

WIW: My New Favorite Summer Must-Have

Earlier in the week, I showed you a tunic look featuring this denim vest and here it is again. I found this vest during American Eagle's Memorial Day weekend sale. I've been looking for a great fitting one for a while now. So this was a great find. I've seen many budget friendly ones at Target and Forever 21 but they either didn't have my size, the fit was off, or the color just wasn't what I wanted. But now that I've found it, it has been in heavy rotation. If you are looking for a great sturdy denim vest check out American Eagle since it's not yet available online.

WIW: Comfort is Key

Comfort is absolutely key to dressing here in SoCal as we start heading into the Summer months. Honestly it starts getting so warm that it's almost unbearable. So what better way to keep the sun away then a great hat. I'm sure you saw me wearing this Panama hat all over Maui and recently in my Two-fer Tuesday post a couple of weeks ago. It's most definitely the best $12 I've spent. 

I've never been a hat person. mostly because I kind of have a small head and most hats just don't fit. And well the kids hats usually have some print that just doesn't work for me. But when I stumbled upon this hat at H&M I knew I just had to have it and luckily they made it in a smaller size. If you follow me on Pinterest, you may have noticed I've been pinning a lot of looks with hats. Now that I've found this one I'm on the look out for others. I guess you could say that I've sort of become obsessed with hats.

The Panama hat really pulled together my whole look. Without the hat it would just be another simple look and nothing interesting.
