fashion friday

Next week, I’m heading to Orlando for the Disney Social Media Moms conference. Much to the dismay of my poor, neglected children who will not be coming with me. We keep having conversations like: “So you’re going to ride Space Mountain….. without me?” (insert tear-filled Bambi eyes here) And me assuring them that I will be working  most of the time and not having lots of time to go on rides. *Ahem.*

But here is the challenge: how does one look cute at Disney?

First: find come cute shoes that are actually comfortable. I love my Privos! They are so so comfy and look great with everything – even shorts. I hate wearing sneakers with shorts.  These are on sale for only $40!

Second: stay cool and comfy. Maybe a nice flowy top and capris or shorts. Perfect for the parks – staying cool but still stylish!

tops: anthropologie | bottoms: old navy

And don’t rule out a dress! I love wearing maxi dresses to parks. They’re so cool and comfy – I wear them with my super comfy Reef flip flips. Steer clear of shorter dresses – you don’t want to have any un-family-friendly moments climbing in and out of rides, now!

What are your favorite things to wear at Disney?

What can brighten up your day better than citrus?

Jeans are always a great place to start!

Or a dress! This dress by Winter Kate is amazing. Simply amazing.

Oh, hello, my darling! Please come live in my closet!
Or just add a splash of color with a necklace!

We’re on spring break this week. We’re in Ohio, which is actually pretty darn far from a beach, but we’re having fun nonetheless.

Lets pretend I went somewhere exotic and got to lay on a beach sipping a margarita. Wearing this:

HOW cute would that be with my coral swimsuit? I KNOW!

Since I’m imaging this vacation, I can imagine that I can afford this dress. this would be perfect for sightseeing around my imaginary exotic location.

and this one, too. i would wear this on my imaginary dinner date on my imaginary vacation.

Oh. My. Goodness. LOVE THIS! I would wear this on my imaginary plane ride to my imaginary destination with white jeans.

And here are my imaginary shoes. Hello, gorgeous.
Sigh. If only my imaginary vacation could be real. (And my imaginary clothing budget!)

Happy Spring!

(I’m in denial that it is now like 30 degrees outside when it was 80 last week. Its SPRING, dagnabit!)

I think I need this top. With white jeans? Spring perfection!!

Oh. My. Lace. What would you pair this with? Mint green skinny jeans? A maxi skirt?

I love the cut and color of this blazer!

This dress is gorgeous. Just perfection.

Now THIS top would look amazing with white jeans!

Hello!!! This is under $9!

We’re going to the beach! We’re going to the beach! Not just any beach, you guys!

JAMAICA!

*insert happy dance*

I’m dreaming of beaches. Literally, since we’re going to Beaches Negril! WOOT!!!
Words cannot even describe how excited we are! Its going to be awesome!! The kids are going crazy – they all learned to snorkel recently and they are dying to snorkel with actual fish instead of in the pool at the Y 😉

So! On to one of my favorite parts of travel. GETTING NEW OUTFITS FOR THE TRIP! (Am I right, ladies?)

I need some beachwear. STAT. Preferably with polka dots. How cute is that suit? Love the polka dots!! Its so glam and just a little retro! And the neckline would be a nice change from my usual halter.

This is an amazing coverup! So beachy!!

Repeat after me – the only acceptable place to wear a romper when you are over the age of 1 is as a beach coverup. Got it? Good.
Personally, I don’t think a romper is up my alley. But if I was to get one, it would totally be chic – like this cute one!

Last week everyone was swooning over the gorgeous striped maxi dress that unfortunately was really pricey. But look! I found a cheaper version!

Oh, I love, love, love, LOVE THIS DRESS from JCP! And its only $45!

It is like 70 degrees outside. Can I get a “WOO-HOO”??? A burst of spring weather is like a balm for the soul, isn’t it? Now I’m dreaming of tank tops, flip flops, and dresses….

Let us begin.

The much anticipated Marni for H&M collection debuted this week and it is so amazing. My favorite piece? This lovely top! I love mustard, but can not wear it with my coloring. With it being in the back, I could totally pull this top off!

How comfy-casual-chic would this sweater be with a white maxi skirt? (and its 20% off with code ONNEW20)

And guess what I bought this week? If you guessed COBALT SKINNY JEANS you are SO RIGHT!!!

Sorry. Swooning over here…. LOVE!

How cute is a white blazer? Especially when paired with the brights that are everywhere this season – its perfect!

Happy March!

(Did you know Colin’s birthday in March? I do! Because he’s reminded me approximately ten times already! And its only March 2nd!)

Lets talk fashion.

1. Ruffled Oska Dress
This is gorgeous. Just gorgeous. Perfection in a dress.

2. Antipasto, Present and Future Dress

I haven’t really gone the color blocking route, but this could convince me. I love the draping! And I love the colors! Its so different… but still subtle enough to wear anywhere.

3. Blue on blue…
Okay. I totally love this. But I wonder if I’d have the guts to wear so much color! I’m normally more of a “black with gray” kind-a girl who occasionally throws in a pop of color. I’d be so much more likely to pair that shirt with jeans and those blue pants with a white top. What say you? Is it too much blue?

4. Cowl Neck Shirred Dress
I will wear this dress on a beach this summer. Oh, yes, I will!!!

5. Coral Blazer

I will be buying this outfit for BlogHer. Isn’t it perfect?

It was 60 degrees today.
*insert cartwheel*
Spring is coming, if my growing daffodils are any indication. Yes, I know it could snow tomorrow, but I don’t care. I am so so SO EXCITED for spring! And ready to shop!! Let’s think Beach!!

OhMyGoodness. Chevron bathing suit!!! Yes, please!!

I totally love this skirt! Isn’t this cute?

Apparently I love stripes now.

oooo… tangerine…..
Oh, wow. I think I need this dress.
FUN! I love vacation shopping!
