We’ve been busy updating Lilly’s spring wardrobe since the weather is getting nice and we’re finding that she’s outgrown many of her things from last year (same for Fletch, too). Old Navy has always been one of our standards to shop at – and this season there are SO many cute things.

Lilly’s such a girly girl – she loves big bags, small bags, medium sized bags… All bags, including this tassel bucket bag that was actually mine that she claimed dibs on.

I love how her Theodosia Jewelry necklace that my friend Jenny made for her looks up against her little white kimono sleeved top.

Lilly’s whole outfit is straight up my alley. I wish Old Navy made it in my size, especially those floral skinnies! Oh wait, they do!

One of Lilly’s new fast favorites is this marled sweatshirt top. Go figure, it’s so soft and comfy. Pretty cute too. I want this outfit for myself.

And I love how these painted bird red shoes look against the light skinny jeans. They come in adult sizes, too!

If you have kids you must must must buy The Day The Crayon’s Quit. It’s my favorite book that my kids have (yes they love it too). It’s absolutely hilarious and teaches kids about feelings.

Like I said, I want to wear this outfit too. Not so hard to recreate…

Hey Hey Tuesday. Here’s some of my life lately in no particular order…

 

I very hesitantly tried this Bare Minerals 7 Day Skin Detox peel. I really didn’t think much would happen since it’s sold over the counter and I haven’t heard a lot about it. Um, no, this shit is legit. Just 2 days in I could tell a difference already. My skin actually looked brighter and more even. I keep meaning to contact them and find out how often I can do these but always forget. Anyone know? Regardless, I highly recommend you try it! If I find out I’ll update this post.

Our camellia trees are blooming and it’s making our yard look so pretty. If only the rest of our plants were alive.

I’m in this month’s Charleston Magazine for their Fashion Insider Feature. This feels pretty awesome. But I guess they couldn’t find any pictures of me where I didn’t look pregnant? At least they made it the smallest one. High fives Charleston Mag. I’m going to go do some sit ups. Y’all should go check out the article because there are all sorts of awesome Charleston designers and such in the feature. Good read.

Speaking of press, I feel really, really lucky to be considered by Southern Living as one of the 75 Most Stylish Southerners. Holy freaking cow. Josh has been having a great time mocking me about this one though. For example, if we have to wait for a table at a restaurant he’s all like, “don’t they know you’re the 47th most stylish southerner?”. When I respond with an eye roll and that I don’t think it was in order he just says “Oh, so you could be the 75th”. It’s pretty hilarious really. Stephanie, thank you for including me!!

Josh and I have been researching vacation spots for a short(ish) getaway that is nearby. Naturally I’m stocking up on beachy wardrobe stuff. This cover up tunic dress (also available here) is one of my favorites. Props to Lilly for this photo (watch out Gray, ha).

Stopped by Gap and am just delighted with their spring line. I mean there are all sorts of good things like these shirts and this chambray dress. Oh, and these clutches look so luxe, what a score. Today you can take 35% off your purchase.

Working on an upcoming collab with Johnston & Murphy and am so super pumped about their little bow back flats that I got them in 2 colors.

After school yesterday Lilly was flipping through the latest Land of Nod catalog and shouted “hey that’s us!” Yep indeed. Thanks for that fun surprise LON! We love you, too!! It’s like the room makeover gift that keeps on giving. As an aside, the rest of the catalog is really good. So many cute new arrivals.

Charleston got a Madewell (finally!). This makes me really happy because they’re style is totally my style. I didn’t get this striped shirt because I found so many other things (like this popover top), but don’t you like it?

I’ve been wearing my new Kate Davis bracelet stack everywhere. One of the bracelets is missing in this picture because Lilly took off with it but I just found it, thank goodness. Also loving my Fossil cross body bag (comes in 7 different colors), and the Christina Jervey stacked rings.

Let’s end it on a crazy deal. THESE sandals at Target. They are fabulous, come in 4 colors, and are only $20! While you’re on the site check out this lavender and gold tufted ottoman. It’s bonkers.

Have you been watching the Olympics? I’ve found myself enchanted with Meryl Davis. She is unlike anyone I’ve ever seen before, even her mannerisms down to the way she breathes. Can we agree that she and her partner Charlie White are straight up Disney characters? They need to make an ice dancing movie based on them! Apparently they’ve been dancing together for 17 years.

Sonnet James recently debuted their latest collection of play dresses for playful moms. In one word – adorable. I have one of these and love it! So comfy and stretchy without clinging to me!

 

Beautiful, modern, everyday dress. Unbelievably comfortable, machine washable stretch-jersey and virtually indestructible! (Via www.sonnetjames.com)

 

I keep thinking about this shirt version of the dress I wore in yesterday’s post. So cute.

These baroque style Prada sunnies are freaking amazing.

I’m trying to come up with a reason to buy up 20 of Roxy’s new chairs. I mean!!

My friends Alex & Liz shared their office space (that they share in Chicago, how fun is that?!) on Glitter Guide! Their days are the most fun, I’m sure.

Don’t you love their layered rugs?? So great. Right now OKL is having a whole entire sale titled The Perfect Pair that is dedicated to rugs for pairing and layering. Please and thank you!

Ann Taylor, is that you?? Why yes it is! Their best collection yet! That skirt and those pants are so good, but you gotta see these heels.

Charleston girls, save the date for the Marysia Swim Trunk Show I’m co-hosting on April 3rd at Everything But Water on King Street here in Charleston. Marysia will be here with her new collection coming out soon and it is AMAZING. We’re making final decisions on appetizers and drinks and are between spiked blueberry mint lemonade or strawberry moscow mule. What’s your vote? Please weigh in.

A little momma/daughter combo street style post for this Monday morning…

 

LLL_streetstyle_33-11

givenchy duffel, lf charm necklace (very similar here), lf chain necklace, christina jervey arrow cuff

 

LLL_streetstyle_33-15

 

I’m wearing my new plaid/oxford layered dress that I’m in love with. It’s so easy – perfect for running around town with the kids, shopping on King Street, brunch with the girls… The dress is also available here at Matches, there is a gray version here, a really really gorgeous sweater version here, and a tunic dress version here. So many pretty options!

 

LLL_streetstyle_33-16

 

And these snakeskin and metallic leather LR strappy sandals are so perfect. Worth investing in y’all. I plan to live in them.

 

LLL_streetstyle_33-8

 

At this point Lilly was more interested in sitting and playing in the rocks. I think I said “Lilly want to stand here with me for another picture?” and she was all like “no I want to play in the rocks”. Ha, oh well. We’ll win some and we’ll lose some guys when it comes to these Lilly Likes outfit posts. I refuse to be a crazy mom. Soooo you get more of me. Doh! Thanks for leaving me hanging, Lil.

At least we got a good shot of her chambray/polka dot slip on sneakers. These are so easy for her to put on and comfy. I need to go get some of the other patterns, too.

 

LLL_streetstyle_33-7

 

on Lilly:

puff vest, slip on chambray sneakers, gap legging jeans

stripe tank, long sleeve tee, glitter purse, feather tiara

 

You can get all of Lilly’s Gap favorites for 20% off today with the code “TREAT”. How cute is this jumpsuit? Lil’s going to need it. And I think I need another one of Gap’s shirt dresses. So easy and cute. I love these oxford striped shirts too.
