Spring Is Here!

DRESS | BOOTIES

While we’ve been social distancing, a lot is still happening around us. A lot of GOOD, a lot of wonderful things. Spring is here, and that makes me so excited for the season ahead. Although it will definitely be different than any season of life before, it will surely still be beautiful and refreshing.

One thing I’ve been guilty of while in quarantine is online shopping for spring. Who’s with me? I keep finding affordable pieces that I can’t wait to wear when this all ends. This dress being one of them. I scooped it up for UNDER $20, and I thoroughly look forward to wearing it soon.

So since spring is here let’s not forget to embrace the season. Get outside, get fresh air, go for a walk every day, and don’t forget to smile. Browse the internet, look for ways to help, and do a little therapeutic shopping for yourself. Do some of the little things that make you happy.

Home Workout Essentials

Unfortunately home quarantine isn’t ending any time soon. Essentially, we all have two options in this time of struggle. Option 1: We can sit at home, wallow in our confusion and uncertainties, and be our own worst enemy. Option 2: We can make something of this time. Cherish more memories with our loved ones, pick up the phone and call our friends, get our blood pumping with a daily workout, and challenge ourselves to set new goals for our new normal. While both seem like decent options, because right now is a freaking scary time, we can agree that one is definitely better than the other.

I’m choosing to believe that we are all trying to pick ourselves up by the boot straps, and make something of this unprecedented time in life. Therefore I’m sharing my list of HOME WORKOUT ESSENTIALS, because the first step in doing something is actually DOING SOMETHING.

The idea is to simply take 30 minutes for yourself at lunch, or an hour at the end of the day, to get your heart beating and your feet moving. This is a very personal goal for myself too this week. I have home workout equipment that has been sitting idol for a few weeks now. I’m deciding today to kick my butt into gear, and embrace the situation and do something for myself in this. My health matters, your health matters, strangers matter, let’s pick everyone up, encourage everyone and try to make the most of this week.

The Spring Floral Dress You All Need

SPRING FLORAL DRESS | SNEAKERS | BELT

Spring florals of course are a must, but this spring floral print dress is one we ALL need. It’s the most adorable find, and it’s only $20. This piece comes in two colors, and it would be the perfect addition to your spring wardrobe, for more reasons than one.

This is a dress that can easily take on a bohemian feel with booties and a wide brim hat. It’s a dress that can also take on a casual vibe (like I’ve styled it) with sneakers and a funky belt. It can also take on a dressier vibe with nude pumps and and a fitted blazer. Versatility and this floral print dress go hand-in-hand.

Today’s look is a new favorite. I wasn’t 100 percent sure I should style it with sneakers, but turns out I love the way it looks together. I added this fun belt from Calypso Boutique in Lexington, and it completed the vibe I was going for. Naturally I don’t have anywhere to where this dress right now, but I will save it for a sunnier day ahead.

Babiators + More Baby

After the first full week of quarantine we made it a point to get outside this weekend, and enjoy a little sunshine. Although it wasn’t an abundance of sunshine, we embraced every bright and shining ray with Mac’s new polarized Babiators.

Mac is wearing The Agent from the Babiators Blue collection. The Blue Series offers stylish, polarized frames for kids, 0-6+ years. We had a hard time picking between a few frames for Mac, but ultimately, we loved the blue lens and the shape of The Agent.

For us, protecting Mac’s eyes is super important, and something we will advocate for all of his life. This is only his first pair of Babiators, but it definitely won’t be his last. When Coronavirus clears up, we plan to take a vacation (or two), and Mac will be sure to pack a few of his favorite styles for the adventure.

+ MORE BABY

There are a few things we can’t live without right now, so I thought I would share some of our must have items during quarantine. If you guys like these kinds of posts, please let me know and I will put together more *quarantine essentials* for y’all.
