Wow, it's been over a week since we took these pictures.  Time has been flying by now that I'm homeschooling my kids.  I've been enjoying it though.  We know a lot of people are affected by this virus and I just feel lucky we're safe at home.

Onto brighter things, like this gorgeous LoveShackFancy sweater.  I mean, this sweater has my name written all over it.  It's pink, has a heart print and has balloon sleeves!  It's perfection.  It has warmed up here a lot so I paired this very warm sweater with a pair of white, lace Tularosa shorts.  My 10 yo son has been taking my pictures, but my 7 yo daughter wanted to get in on the action.  She really got into it and even got down on the ground, ha!

This gorgeous sweater also comes in another colour ('Prune'), which is on sale!

Stay safe and happy (online) shopping!

fall neutrals

Louis Vuitton Palm Springs Backpack Mini

I love wearing neutrals in the fall (see here and here).  It's still warm here but I was itching to start dressing for fall so I paired these white Free People shorts with a knit top and brown boots.  These shorts are super comfortable and now on sale!

Happy shopping!

pretty pastels for fall

LoveShackFancy Aspyn Pullover (also here);

Tularosa Shorts (old, similar here for only $46!);

Lack of Color Zulu Rancher

I don't think there's another brand that has prettier clothes than LoveShackFancy.  This sweater is SO pretty.  I love the pastel colours on the sleeves.  Every piece of their collection has a detail that just makes it ultra romantic and feminine.  I thought it was best to stay with the romantic theme and pair this pastel sweater with white lace shorts (also because it's been deathly hot here).  Of course this sweater would look great with a pair of jeans, although I would opt for a lighter wash. 

I'm also loving this pastel sweater by Lovers + Friends and this pastel sweater by Free People, both more budget-friendlier.

Happy shopping!

worn white bandits

 {One Teaspoon Worn White Bandit Shorts;

Urban Outfitters Top (old, love this one, this white one is SO pretty!);

Schutz Erlina Sandal (also here in black);

Brixton Dalila Hat (in black, this colour sold out);

Prada Sunglasses}

This is now my fourth pair of One Teaspoon bandits.  I am obsessed.  I have them in light blue (also here), pink, heart-printed and now these worn white ones.  The only ones I'm eyeing now are these (or these) black ones and I think my collection will be complete.  Although, these are 'worn white' so I could also use these bright white ones.  I went with the 'worn white' ones since I already have a pair of bright white shorts, but they're a tighter fit so I will probably invest in a pair of bandits.  Ok, maybe these dark blue ones too.  Is that too many?  But I L O V E them because they're SO comfy.  I will admit, I ordered another pair of these but the button fell off so I exchanged them and was worried the next pair wouldn't fit the same.  They don't.  But for the most part I love the way bandits fit.  They're short in the front, you can roll them up if you want them even shorter and the back covers your butt completely.  Obviously they're quite casual, which is why I love pairing them with pretty, flirty, flowy feminine tops.

We celebrated my daughter's 4th birthday today!  My hubby worked from home and my daughter wanted pancakes for lunch so we headed to a waffle place (I wore this outfit) and then when my son came home from school she opened more presents and then we went out for pizza (I wore a Free People dress, post to come).  It was such a great day and I'm so blessed to have this little girl in my life!  I'm even more blessed that I'm now a stay-at-home mom and spend all day with her.  She is the funniest person I know and makes me laugh all day.

I'm so excited my sister is finally here and I get to show her around Myrtle Beach.  Yesterday my kids and I took her to our favourite place for brunch, Crepe Creation Cafe, in Market Common.  It was great because we split a savoury one (Mediterranean) and then split a sweet one (Almond Joy).  My son only ever wants the sweet one (The Classic - Nutella with strawberries).  She loved them just as much as we do so we'll definitely head back before she leaves.  It was way too hot and sticky (don't let the breeze fool you!) to walk around after we ate so we just headed back to the pool for a swim.  But first we quickly stopped at the cute park they have in the middle of Market Common (there's a fence surrounding it) and snapped some pictures while my kids played.  I love this simple but not too simple tank top.  It's perfectly flowy for a hot day like yesterday.  I also tried out my new wedge sandals.  Besides my feet swelling from the heat after a couple of hours, these sandals are SO comfortable.  Especially when I'm out and about with my kids, I like to wear flat shoes, but these are the perfect pair to give you the feel of flats, but also give you some height.

  I immediately knew when these shorts arrived and I saw how delicate they were in person that I wanted to pair them with this white H&M tank for an ethereal look.  (I'm also really trying hard to wear older pieces in my closet and not just the new ones.)  I love wearing all white and even thought of pairing this outfit with white shoes, but decided on these red sandals for a pop of colour.  Also, pretty much all of my shoes are getting neglected since these sandals came into my life.

These pretty shorts and sandals are becoming my go-to pieces lately.  I ordered them from revolveclothing.com, which is one of my favourite online sites and I really hope it gets added to Ebates.  I seriously cannot believe I'm just starting to use Ebates now.  You get 10% cash back when you shop at Neiman Marcus...what?!  3% when you shop at shopbop.com, which is another one of my favourite online sites and I can only imagine how much cash back I would've received by now.  Nordstrom is currently having their 'Anniversary Sale' and if you go through Ebates you get 6% cash back!  If you're going to shop the sale anyway, why not get extra savings?  I'm now becoming obsessed with getting cash back so please, please, Ebates, add revolveclothing.com to your list!

black & white (summer edition)

{sweater: GAP (bought last summer, love this one); shorts: J.Crew; bracelet: BCBG (similar styles);

sneakers: Converse; hat: Roxy; necklace: Juicy Couture (old); sunglasses: Prada}

We headed to the beach yesterday evening for some ice cream and the weather has been all over the place so I figured I would be safe with a sweater/shorts combo.  I have been living in these J.Crew shorts.  They are so cozy and comfortable to wear.  Instead of going for a basic black sweater, I paired them with this cozy GAP striped sweater I bought last summer (last seen here paired with polka dot shorts), which is perfect for cooler nights (and mornings).  (You want to get something lightweight like the Free People one I linked above.)  I kept the black and white theme going with this Roxy fedora and Converse sneakers.  An easy breezy outfit that looks put together that really took no time to put together.
