Those Shoes!

I fell in love with the Halogen flats from the Nordstrom sale immediately.

Too darling. Way too darling.

Of course I am now justifying the purchase with a moodboard. #standard
(oh, and all of these items are currently on sale at Nordstrom -- free shipping & returns)

Outfit One

jersey wrap dress // semiprecious stud earrings // wide cuff bracelet // flats

those semiprecious stone studs are less than $18!

Outfit Two

black blouse // kendra scott elle earrings // skinny jeans // flats

Outfit Three

yellow and white blouse // stud earrings // black ankle pants // stone bangles // flats

Hover over links below for prices on all items.

Sidenote, both of those blouses are less than $50, AND the semiprecious stone stud earrings in outfit one are such a steal. They are $17.90 currently and are available in five different stones (here). With free shipping, this is the type of little gift I love to pick up to save in my "gift drawer" for a girlfriend's birthday that pops up on me.

So, I'm thinking the spotted flats are pretty perfect, no? Versatile and inexpensive ... my favorite combo.

Which outfit above is the most like your style?


This moodboard saved on my MY STYLE Pinboard if you'd like to repin!

Hunt For The Elusive "Cool" One-Piece

Last night I sat on the couch with Ian previewing the items that are part of Amazon Prime Day. This day boasts "more deals than Black Friday" -- okay Amazon, you have my attention now.

Amazon Prime is worth every penny ... especially in those newborn days, it certainly has proved its worth. As a new mom, running errands (something I always enjoyed) suddenly seemed near impossible and not worth the hassle. But, during a 2am nursing session, making a quick decision to try out a different brand of baby wipes or a different bottle brush suddenly seemed E-A-S-Y. All I had to do was click "add to cart" and my items were shipped free to me and on the doorstep in two days -- sometimes even the very next day.

So, if you are not an Amazon Prime member, but want to take advantage of some of the Prime Day deals today, you can sign up for a 30-day free trial HERE. If you don't feel like you'll keep it, order as MUCH as you want within that trial to reap the benefits, and then cancel. But, if you're like me, justifying the yearly membership will be a piece of cake. We order so many things using our free 2-day shipping ... coffee, diapers, baby wipes, paper towels, trash bags, toilet paper, diaper genie refills, phone chargers, books, baby gear, etc!

Amazon also has a rocking apparel department. Currently I'm on the hunt for a "cool" one-piece suit. Something that is sassy and sophisticated, but something that stays put. A suit that says I still care about fashion but a suit that says I am a mom ... of a busy toddler. No Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunctions at the neighborhood pool, no sirree.

I'd love your vote on the below options that are all part of the sale today. Today (July 15) only, they are an additional 30% off of the Amazon price, applied at discount. Plus, I can try on in the comfort of my own home (NO flourescent lighting) and send back -- for free -- the ones that don't fit. I am definitely taking advantage of the sale today to pick out a few suits. Not going to let this great sale and free shipping/returns pass me by!

5: Nanette Lepore // 6: Trina Turk // 7: Trina Turk // 8: Kenneth Cole

I also just spotted this incredible option ...

Maaji Ride At Night One-Piece Suit

Comes with a removable strap, too.

Oh, and for a coverup, I am loving this cute option from Tbags. Made in the USA!

And, not from Amazon, but at more than a TENTH of the price, this cute option from Choies.

  

So, what's your pick from the Prime Day Sale?

1: Ted Baker // 2: Ted Baker // 3: Ted Baker // 4: Ondademar

5: Nanette Lepore // 6: Trina Turk // 7: Trina Turk // 8: Kenneth Cole

Which one do you think looks the most like me?
Which one would you pick for yourself?
