WIW: Add Some Flare

If you're looking for  a fun new trend to try, why not add some flare. You can't go wrong with the ever popular peplum, but if you're a little more daring try a trumpet style skirt. These skirts are so much fun and definitely can make an outfit. I almost missed out on this darling textured flare skirt. I had been eyeing it for quite some time and just procrastinated then my good friend Bianca gave me that final nudge to pull the trigger and pick up this beauty. And boy am I glad I did. I'm so in love with this skirt. Every morning I wake up and hope for a reason to put it on.

WIW: Palm It + the Sizzlin Summer Giveaway Winners

Happy Monday! I hope you all had a pleasant weekend. It was a nice low-key weekend for us, whew! After all the birthday celebrations for Big Sis it was nice to not have any plans, especially since we're taking the girls to Legoland this week. I swear my life has revolved around which theme park we're off to next. And the Summer blackout dates for Disneyland Annual Passholders will be over soon so we'll be back at Disneyland twice a month again very soon. That one I'm excited for. But between birthdays, getting ready for preschool, and the next dance season, I'm on overdrive. 

But I refuse to believe Summer is coming to an end. I guess that's easy living in Socal since it's pretty warm year around. Even so, I will continue to wear shorts at least until the temperature drops. That's why I'm so excited about all the Summer sales that have been going on. 

Today, I'm wearing this easy breezy ZARA wrap blouse and palm printed shorts from Old Navy. I found both items on sale. YAY! Who doesn't love a sale. And these palm printed shorts are so much fun. You guys may remember that I found these while at the Old Navy Blogger Event a couple of weeks ago. Well I've pretty much been living in these shorts. I can't get enough of all the palm prints this Summer and the colors in these shorts make it that much better.

Big Sis's 3rd Birthday Recap

Monday was Big Sis's 3rd birthday! It seriously blows my mind how quickly she's grown up. She just bring so much joy to our lives. And for just being 3 her personality is much larger then she is. This little  ballerina isn't just an amazing daughter, she's also an incredibly protective big sister.

So I wanted to wrap up all the birthday festivities and share them with you today instead of the typical Friday Fancies post. This year we decided to not have a big party since we just had one for Baby Sis, but it didn't mean we were going to slack in anyway on the celebration part. Instead we took Big Sis to Sea World and Medieval Times. The girl had a blast. Check out some of the pictures from her birthday.

Loving her Cinderella Vanity that Daddy picked out for her.

Can't have a birthday without cake.

"Oh" Baby Sis!

They just love penguins!

Our Birthday Princess

Getting a big hug from her blue knight who saved the princess.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

WIW: Polka Dots, Gingham, Anchors, Prints Galore

I've been dying to wear this J. Crew anchor dress that I just snatched up on Poshmark. I missed out on it back when J. Crew had it so I've been looking for one since and finally found my size. Yipee! I have to admit, I've become addicted to checking Poshmark for items I may have missed out and just for fun. So for Big Sis's birthday we ended up being a mish mosh of prints. And the Birthday Girl wanted to dress herself since she is a big girl now. 

These toddler pencil skirts are absolutely darling. She loved being a little lady in her big girl skirt.
