I genuinely can’t sing enough praises about this skirt from Express. It’s a stretchy, ultra-soft knit and is utterly comfortable. Paired with pumps and a structured top, it’s the perfect piece for the office. Once I get home, I toss on a slouchy sweater and wedges and it is a dream in which to run errands. See? I could go on for days about it—the silhouette, the fabric. Magnificent and highly recommended.

I’ve been gravitating toward black and white outfits lately (probably because it’s considerably more flattering than other options). Thoughts on black and white? Love or hate?

Spring Picks

I’m not sure if it’s entirely normal or not, but I tend to begin browsing and buying spring items as soon as they’re available. This usually begins in February with floral printed dresses and breezy blouses – items that transition easily. Living in Utah often brings severe weather surprises, including snow in the morning and bright sunshine the next. I like to have versatile pieces readily available that are winter appropriate, yet forward looking. Navy and neutrals are classic options and work well as transitional colors between winter and spring. I’m loving these pieces individually (and collectively of course) because of their versatility. You can easily add a sweater or blazer over the top, swap out the wedges for boots or add a boldly colored hat for chilly days. So, while we’re all wishing and hoping spring would arrive quickly, this palette will make the wait a bit more bearable. Hopefully…right?

I honestly don’t think I’ve ever taken pictures of Bella that I love more than these. Her obvious disdain for having her head covered and being restricted is amazingly entertaining. Aren’t the holidays grand? Through the frustrations of the shoots, it’s great to look back and have these pictures! Her fussing and whining are absolutely worth it. Plus, she generally gets rewarded with white chocolate dipped bones. It’s a win-win, right? We hope your holiday preparations are going well – have a marvelous Wednesday!

Disney Day: Part 1

Ahh, Disneyland. The most fun (and happiest place) on earth! We were so grateful to join my husband’s family for a fun-filled California vacation, which included time at the two glorious parks. There were churros, popcorn, more churros and very warm temperatures. We enjoyed running and practically leaping (yep, we are that family) from ride to ride picking up the occassional FastPasses along the way. I’ve never been to the parks with kids, so it was an entirely new experiences seeing little faces light up at everything! It made everything that much more fun. 
Can we discuss the Disney decor? We timed our visit perfectly – it was my favorite time! The flower beds replaced with poinsettias and the two-story tree at the entrance to Main Street are my favorite features. I love seeing everything decked out in Christmas finery. It makes it a bit more magical (if that’s even possible)!
