Gracie’s Song | Book Review + Outfit
Far too long ago, Michelle Schlicher contacted me to see if I would like to review her newest book, Gracie’s Song. Of course, I’m not one to say no to a free book, so here we are! I took a little too long for my liking to read and review this, since I’ve had the book for over a month, but we’ll blame teething babies for that. As always, here is the synopsis via Goodreads: ““Everything can be undone.” That’s what someone tells Gracie Brannen, but she’s doubtful. After graduation, she walked away from everyone she knew with barely a word. Ten years later, she’s back. Even as familiar places…

Paris in the Morning | Outfit
Happy Thursday! This post is coming to you really late because today was just… guys. You know those days when you just can’t? And you just want to slum around in your pajamas and watch TV all day? Today felt like one of those days for me, except I have two kids and Asa just wants to watch Daniel Tiger (side note, the Tiger family has tiger skin drapes. Um.

So instead, we went to my parents’ house and watched Emma while Asa played with a bunch of toys that he isn’t used to, and Evie pooped…

There’s something so moodily romantic about Ireland to me. I have spent hours on Google Maps in street view, wandering random pathways through the lush hills and quaint villages, wondering what…

Maternity Style: victory rolls and a vintage clutch
So I’ll be super honest here: I have not been feeling inspired to get dressed these days. Retro maternity style is hard to figure out, especially considering true vintage maternity style in my preferred era was… wearing a tent. And I don’t really want to wear a tent. But then a few days ago, a friend who knows I love vintage gave me an entire lot of 60’s-80’s vintage her mom was giving away, including jewelry and purses and wigs (hey hey!) and as I mourned the fact that none of the vintage clothing would fit me, I wondered… why am I not dressing like the vintage woman I want…
