WIWW: Black and white pattern mix

September 2, 2014 | Leave a Comment

We’re all guilty of it. Myself included. Yes, I admit to stealing looks directly off the mannequin. Or in this case, directly from a model. While browsing Old Navy’s website during a back-to-school shopping sesh for my Preschooler, I came across this look in their “Outfits We Love” section. And I thought 2 things: Wow,…

Here comes fall: Top 3 wearable trends

August 26, 2014 | Leave a Comment

Disclosure: I participated in a sponsored campaign with Country Outfitter and received compensation and free product. All opinions are my own. Full disclosure statement Fall is coming… I’m not too jazzed about that, quite frankly. Even though it’s been extremely hot this summer in Colorado, I am loving it; I guess it’s the California girl in…

What I Wore Wednesday: Fancy Pants

August 13, 2014 | Leave a Comment

Whilst shopping at Forever21 one week postpartum, I came across these rayon patterned pants. Normally I would never buy or wear anything so loud (prints kind of scare me), but these had an elastic waistband and totally fit the bill of what I was looking for: something that would fit me until my belly and…

What I Wore: Green lace Anthropologie dress

August 7, 2014 | Leave a Comment

First let me say that I would normally post a What I Wore article on a Wednesday, but this week I’ve been busy hosting some friends of ours who are visiting from California. In the interest of spending time with them and enjoying life and great friends, I haven’t had the time to devote to…

WIWW: How to avoid the every day “mom outfit”

July 29, 2014 | Leave a Comment

A lot of times when I take pictures to post here for What I Wore Wednesday, it’s on a day that I have somewhere to go. I look better on those days and feel a little more picture-worthy. Although I don’t wear a lot of sweats and do generally try to dress well each day…

WIWW: Navy summer maxi dress

July 8, 2014 | Leave a Comment

You know what I hate? Trying to figure out what to wear postpartum. I don’t fit into any of my old pants or shorts, but maternity bottoms don’t really fit either. Tight-fitting shirts are a no-go since I have a little bit of a flabby postpartum tummy, so it’s loosey-goosey for the next few weeks.…

WIWW: Little black dress (that barely fits)

June 4, 2014 | Leave a Comment

I was a little wary when I put this little black dress on the other day. But it was hot out and I am running out of maternity dresses to wear, so comfort and necessity won over me feeling like I was obviously smuggling a beach ball under a normal dress. You want to show…

WIWW: 33 weeks and oxfords

May 7, 2014 | Leave a Comment

I’d like to take credit for this look, but I totally ripped it off from the Gap. It’s true and I make no apologies. The less I have to think these days, the better – for everyone involved. So when I saw this look on the Gap’s website, I ordered the dress during a 40%…

30th birthday cocktail/dinner party

April 15, 2014 | Leave a Comment

Last Friday, I ushered in my 30th birthday with a little cocktail/dinner party at our house. My husband took care of most of the details, including the invites, the food and the drinks. I simply offered to handle the decor and find myself a cocktail dress (a task in and of itself). Not only was…

WIWW: Kimonos are my best friend.

April 9, 2014 | Leave a Comment

In the last couple of months, I have had no desire to wear anything form fitting. It’s all elastic waists over here, my friends. So when I started seeing kimonos popping up at different stores, I got pretty excited. Not only would it suit my needs for loose clothing, but anytime I can find regular,…

I get it. It's a little weird. But the girls I've I get it. It's a little weird.
But the girls I've seen do it best, look adorable.

I think it looks best with an oversized tee or sweatshirt, tennies or slides, and a small crossbody bag.

You can't argue with comfort.

For the record, these are women's sleep shorts that I've had a couple of years from Old Navy. If you buy actual men's boxers, you might consider sewing up the pee pocket 😜

Don't spend a lot on this trend; these shorts are made from the thinnest of fabric and shouldn't cost much. Don't be fooled by a retailer that wants you to spend just because it's trendy.

But if you see some cute boxers and want to give it a go - then do! Bonus - if/when the trend ends, you'll have pajamas on the ready 👏

It's solid weekend wear, but I'm not going out to dinner in it...

Another project down in my son's room! I knew I w Another project down in my son's room!

I knew I wanted some sort of built-in feature in this bedroom, but it was hard to figure out what, because we turned it into an active space where he could run and play and needed a lot of room.

So I settled on a built-in bookcase with the slatted design feature, which I'm in love with!

The best part about it is that if he ever decides to upgrade his bed, the space will also accommodate a full or queen size bed going in the opposite direction. It adds so much interest to this room and hopefully will be here for a long time!

One of the things I love most about DIY projects is figuring out how to make something - it's like a giant puzzle. I saw photos of these slotted wall room dividers on Pinterest and just figured it out as I went. All in all, I had very few hiccups and it only took me a few hours to put together. I think I only cursed once?!? And so I call that an extreme DIY win...

Now that the sports wall, the climbing wall, and the built-in feature are complete, the last thing to do in here is some additional painting. I'm thinking of using a contrasting blue color for the closet doors and back side of the built-in, and perhaps trimming out the window with it as well. Then I need to switch out the light for a fan and this.room.is done 🙌

Details: I used two IKEA billy bookshelves, screwed together and secured to the wall. Then wrapped them in white oak plywood. I ripped down 2x4s into 1.5x1.5" square dowels (heavily sanded!) and used pocket holes on the back side of each to secure to the bookshelf and the 1x4 in the ceiling. It's very sturdy!

This climbing wall took half a day and cost under This climbing wall took half a day and cost under $100!

We are lucky enough to have 13' ceilings in our bedrooms, so a climbing wall seemed to make sense in my son's room as we worked on the remodel.

He is a super active kid with #ADHD, so his room redo has involved lots of activity spaces! Go back in my reels to see past projects and follow to see me finish this up!

I added very subtle striping to the wall to mimic a soccer field and keep things classy. ⚽

Stick around to see the next project - a climbing wall!
