Summer

 

 

 

Who doesn’t love a good Summer top under $40?  I’m loving this floral off the shoulder top with bell sleeves. We brought all the kids to Nordstrom Rack for some tops for me and work pants for Reid. Miraculously, we only left with 4 impulse buys and one fidget spinner. I was so proud of ourselves. We celebrated over guac, chips and burritos. If you’re on the fence, both my tops I linked below are under $40, and at that price, I’m not stressing about the green tea I spilled on them.

Happy Tuesday!

I’m so excited to partner with Rebecca Minkoff as they launch their new line of watches! I chose this RM gold tone studded leather wrap watch – loved the double wrap because it looks most similar to jewelry. I paired my brown leather accessories with a white overall dress and white top I’m obsessed with because of its ruffle three-quarter sleeve. Such a great buy. See more RM Watches here! Have a great weekend, we’re excited to get back home to LA next week.

For one day, we can honor our dads and husbands. It’s a great time to send a card, a gift and if you’re long distance to your father, pick up the phone and call. Either way, a gift means a lot. Reid does so many things for our family, from working downtown all week, to helping spread out breakfast before he leaves, to always taking time for me and the kids. We love him so! Don’t forgot to honor our dads and husbands. Below is a list of things my hubby would love, approved by me, and I’m sure yours will love as well. Order now to get it in time for Father’s Day, Sunday, June 18.

1) SURFER TEE Hubby really wants to learn how to surf, so this is perfect! Worn with jeans or shorts.

Sometimes the most flattering combination has the right proportions. Here its a crop top and high-waisted jeans or pants. I’ll be wearing this combo also with a crop pant for summer bbq’s and weddings, perfect for warm weather. What is your favorite Summer combo?

One of my favorite things to do is where a swimsuit as a bodysuit. It’s like a two for one. I paired it with white jeans, lace coverup, wedge espadrilles and a beach tote. Chic and beach ready for lunch appropriate. PS. my suit is only $35. What do you think?

I started out blogging thrifting in Chicago. You would be amazed at what I would find: designer duds and quality basics. It also afforded me the freedom to go bold with my style. For example, I usually would find a $5 tee and $9 crazy stripe pants, so no sweat to the wallet. And if I didn’t end up liking it, I would just donate it back or sell it on my instagram shop @herchicboutique. It was a fun and mildly therapeutic habit. And habit it became. I would get a sitter so I could go down there and thrift. On the days I didn’t have a sitter, I would bring all four kids, two holding the cart (if they were being good) and two inside the cart. I would always bring tons of crackers and cringe at how many we left in our path. Hilarious. But I always found some treasures from Smythe blazers to James Pearse tees to Frame denim just to name a few, all of which I would boast to Reid when he got home. As a stylist, I was in heaven, the suspense of not knowing what I would find was addictive. Fast forward almost 4 years, and I love blogging, and I’m grateful to have brands sending clothes to me. However, occasionally I buy $39 jeans with a great hem, slash the knees and fray wherever necessary. So, that’s exactly what I did for today’s post. I love an under $50 item I don’t freak out when dirt, coffee, and the like get spilled on them. But I’m SO INCREDIBLY grateful for the people and places and faces I have had the pleasure of meeting through my blog and instagram and I will never forget that little dingy thrift shop where it all started, and the countless times my family, my uber driver, my neighbor, etc,  took pictures for me. Thank God. I would not be where I am today.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT

Summer is all about picnics, running to the beach on a whim and catching the sunset, just in time. So, there’s usually no time to overthink an outfit. My fun go-to is gingham, flouncy sleeves, jeans and sequin flats. I’m not sure about you, but I live in these flats as well. The best way to style wrap tops is with simple gray or white jeans, flats and a small bag.

This Memorial Day weekend couldn’t have come at a better time. We need an extra day to prepare for our upcoming road trip to Chicago. Think lots of kids outfits in ziploc bags, trail mix, and piles everywhere. Did I mention piles? Funny enough, we ditched the to-do list and headed to Manhattan Beach and pool party with our church. It was definitely fun filled and they didn’t want it to end. Shop my Summer uniform lately, white shirts, cutoffs and a baseball cap. What’s your Summer uniform?

Spring break starts this weekend, so I’ll be chasing all four kids all week long, ditching the heels, and grabbing my flats.

Try it at home, you won’t be disappointed. Go HERE and tell me which is your favorite! Enter on Instagram to win a pair of your choice, winner announced Monday!

Lately, I’m loving a white tank, stripe tunic and favorite jeans for a weekday outfit. Reid and I are headed to Mexico in the next couple weeks to celebrate our Anniversary though late. I will definitely be bringing this pom pom hat, dress, and stripes south of the border.
