    Strawberries and Polka Dots | Mama+ Baby Style

    I use some links in this post that earn me money if you purchase from them! But these products were 100% purchased with my own money and I love ’em. Thank you for supporting me and my blog! I have been wanting to introduce mother+daughter style posts for a while (I would try mother+son, but Asa refuses to be photographed these days!), but I always felt like we had to match. And the thing is, Evie and I don’t have many outfits that match. She primarily has pinks and purples, while those two colors are the ones that I own the least of. So today, since I wasn’t quite feeling…

    International Women’s Day | Outfit

        Growing up, I was what most people would likely consider to be sheltered. I had a curfew. I wasn’t allowed to watch Disney movies that were too magical. I didn’t have Barbies. I once left the mom and dad dollhouse dolls hugging on a bed, and didn’t get why that was a problem with my friend’s very strict mom (and I mean, I was like… six. I still don’t get why she assumed the worst. Seriously.) I thought kissing made babies for longer than I care to admit. So, it’s probably no surprise that even today, while I am less conservative than my parents in some ways, and my…

    Sweet Valentine | Outfit

    Happy Valentine’s Day! Growing up, my parents gave all of us kids Valentines+chocolate, my cousins and I always had a Valentine’s tea party (which we do to this day!), and my brothers and I always exchanged Valentines. So I never really hated the day, even through the years of being single (and being one of the last single friends); to me, Valentine’s day has always been about showing everyone you care about that you love them. I am naturally a romantic, so of course I always wished I had a special someone, but to be honest, I’ve always looked forward more to the chocolate than anything else on Valentine’s day.…

    Let’s Pretend This Never Happened | Book Review + Outfit

    I was first aware of Jenny Lawson when the Fug Girls included a link to the hilarious tweets she started getting in reply to her own moment of embarrassment. I’d kind of heard of The Bloggess here and there, but had never clicked over to her blog before then. And it’s a little weird to me to be reviewing the book of a fellow blogger (if I can even include myself in the same category as an award-winning blog and New York Times’ bestseller author which, let’s be honest, I can’t) because that puts her in a more attainable and relatable position than, say, ever meeting Stephen King or getting…

    Gingham and Dots and Stripes, Oh My!

       Skirt provided free of charge from SammyDress in return for my honest opinions. I’m sure you’ve noticed by now, I have a problem. A polka-dot problem. But I just can’t resist them, as you can see! And when I was contacted by SammyDress to do a review, I thought about it for a long time. SammyDress is one of those sites whose prices seem far too good to be true, but that’s not always a bad thing. I have worked with Oasap in the past, and have always been pretty pleased with the things I got from them — their only flaw is usually sizing, in that their Large…
