So many of you asked about this outfit after I posted it on social this week. I love mixing high and low, casual and sophisticated. As for outfit details, my Nike’s are $90, worn with a trench, cropped jeans and a baseball cap.
Not sure if you heard, but its the Nordstrom Half Yearly Sale happening . . . NOW! Lots of cute summer styles are 40% off, and I’ve already picked up this dress in black (to cover the bump), these boots and sweater. If you’re an early bird, its also a good time to stock up on Christmas gifts!

Q & A
What was your last Amazon prime order?
Bento lunch boxes for the kids peppermint oil, because I get really stiff neck and headaches, and tea.
What is the last tip your make-up artist, Lexi has given you.
Use highlighter on the bridge of your nose, center of your top lip, on your cheekbones, over the inner corners of your eyes, onto your brow bone, and center of your forehead. Lexi started using this highlighter on me.
What is the best and last diet tip you’ve shared?
Dandelion tea. It helps with water retention and I drink at least one cup a day.
Will you be sharing your workout routine?
Yes, Hubby and I will be sharing one soon, stay tuned! If you missed it, see a video on how I workout at the park!
Where do you like to go in Palm Springs?
The King’s Highway for breakfast (I get their granola and yogurt), the Ace pool to cool down, pink door house and I’m open to hearing my readers favorites?
What’s the address of the pink door house and this house with the lions?
Good question! 1100 E Sierra Way, Palm Springs, CA 92264

Did you always want a big family?
I always wanted 6 children, Reid wanted 3, and God gave us 4. I feel like I’ve won the lottery with them. We have some really long days, but they are a constant blessing.
What’s your best parenting advice, or what have you learned lately that has made momlife easier?
It’s threefold: a lot of affection, some outside time whether its scooters at the park, a ride around the block, and lots of good snacks sometimes makes or breaks a day.
With 4 kids you must have a lot of mess in your house?
Haha well, we have a chore chart they have to follow, I give rewards for cleaning and when in doubt, I ask them to take something upstairs and I count how long it takes – they love it, they’re really competitive and I get things done, lol.
How do you juggle your days as a busy mom and business owner?
Not every day is the same, some days I have a sitter all day for meetings and appointments or a photo shoot, some days like today, I’m home, we make breakfast, do chores, read and I catch up on emails and write my blog posts. With that said, its not without the cries, the troubles with sharing and the struggle to fit in a workout, but I wouldn’t trade it for the world. I was just telling Felicia my photographer how much I love working from home – from kissing the boo-boos, applying the 5th band aid, brewing my own coffee, writing, and sending emails and styling outfits. The latter is often done around midnight but hey it works.

Date night is usually pretty low key, food, coffee, and a long walk so comfy booties are a must. Reid actually picked out this outfit which is pretty sweet. I feel like as much as I like to style myself and others, I like him to like what I’m wearing. So, I like this dress even more because he likes me in it. Make sense? Major plus, this whole outfit is on sale from the boots to the jewelry.

Jeans
Don’t miss this sale without buying a pair of jeans. Here are some of my favorites!
Sweaters
I’m always surprised how much wear I get out of a good sweater in the summer and how well it transitions into fall. You can’t go wrong with a tank, sweater and jeans. Ever.
Tops
I personally love an interesting tops, because they look great with jeans and that’s all I wear. This bodysuit is uber flattering great under a skirt or jeans.
Shoes
As a stylist, I always encourage my clients to invest in “investment buys.” Well made shoes fit into that catagory such as Rag & Bone and Stuart Weitzman.
Skirts
I love pairing over the knee boots with skirts for fall. A good suede or leather skirt goes a long way.
Dresses
A love that a dress is one and done and paired easily with a wrap sandal, booties or a pump.
Handbags & Accessories
How cute is this stripe bag? I want to bring it to the farmer’s market tomorrow!
Beauty
Most of these things I already have – so I highly recommend! I’m trying Neulash for the first time as my friend told me its amazing. With so many beauty exclusives this year, it’s a great time to try a new brand or gift a friend.
Home
From sheets to bar carts to a copper poly pillowcase. The pillowcase I’ve heard great things about, these candles make great hostess gifts and I tend to buy sheets a couple times a year, always a plus when its on sale!
Jackets
It may be 91 degrees out, but if you buy now, you’ll thank yourself later. It’s a great time to stock up on a new Fall/Winter jacket.

Date night or girly day dates require an upgrade from the beloved t-shirt and jeans. Enter the off the shoulder ruffle dress. I don’t usually wear a ton of pink, but this is the exception. It’s the perfect shade to compliment most shoes like these striped espadrilles. I’m sharing more date night favorites below. Tomorrow I’m sharing some finds from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. Don’t worry, I’ll do the hard work going through thousands of product and sharing a couple of my favorites that are worth your time. Meanwhile, read up on how to prepare now, HERE. Happy humpday!

I’ve been planning all week for the Nordstrom Anniversary sale coming up, who’s excited? I did some pre-sale shopping today and I have to say, this year’s selection is better than last years. I came back home to my Lego loving bunch who make the coolest Lego houses for hours and hours of the day. I love that this outfit is still mom-friendly with wedges, comfy jeans, and a versatile top. For warmer days, I wear cutoffs with this top. Stay tuned for more sale updates, Happy Monday!
