Hi again, friends!

Bringing you another Mother’s Day gift guide from more of my go to small businesses.

So sit back and relax in your favorite pjs and add to cart or send a little “hint hint ” in the subject line to your husband or kid.

Since we are all more homebodies these days, why not add a little something to give your home that extra pizazz. Something that will brighten your mood or make you smile every time you walk into a room as we can all use that right now.

Lindsay, of Lindsay Letters and Co. says “Art matters – what you surround yourself with every day matters. As someone who struggles with anxiety, I know the positive impact art can have first-hand, and I can say with confidence that what you put on the four walls you stare at most can be a real game-changer.” Amen to that!

I have followed Lindsay on Instagram for some time as I have been a huge fan of her style of art work. I have also admired her amazing strength and unwavering faith from afar. Especially now as she and her family are walking through a hard time but in this difficult season, they have shown so many people, including myself, what it means to trust, to hold tight, and believe because “you will never regret having faith.”  You can follow Lindsay and her family here.

Now back to Lindsay’s art. I purchased a few of her pieces at Christmas as a gift for me and my family. Prints that spoke to me and really reflected us. Here are some of the pieces.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

While they may not be your style, she has many more beautiful prints, lettered art and even calendars you can choose from. I also love that when you receive the artwork, they give you all the tools that you need to hang it. So treat yourself to some happy this Mother’s Day!

On that same note of making your home happy and something that you can all enjoy, check out Rooted and Grounded. Just like Lindsay Letters and Co., Rooted and Grounded also creates inspirational home decor that truly reminds you of your roots and of your truth. I purchased a sign for my guest room and my girls’ playroom and it really just makes the rooms complete. If you are not really a sign kind of person, they also have beautiful pillows and even some fun tees.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Another place I have loved ordering from is The Navy Knot. I gave these personalized indoor outdoor rugs to some of my family members this Christmas and they seemed to really like them. I have also purchased beach towels and drawstring bags for my friends’ kids. It really is a great shop to stop by for just about any kind of personalized gift. Think graduation, baby or wedding gifts in the coming months.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Finally, after all that online shopping, I think we all deserve a little sweet treat, don’t you? I love Christie Cookies! I love to give them and I love to indulge in them. They are absolutely delicious! Like just come out of the oven good! They also have brownies too. You can even create a combo of cookies and brownies in a beautiful tin and add coffee or milk too. Any person that receives these yummy goodies, will be so delighted you thought of them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So that’s it! I hope you have enjoyed hearing about these businesses. I also hope you will follow them on social media and perhaps even support them by buying a little something from their shops.

Have a great weekend!

I know Mother’s Day can bring bittersweet feelings for some. I know it can’t be easy if you have lost your mom or even grandmother. Moms, Grandmothers and Aunts definitely hold a special place in my heart!  They deserve to be honored, especially on this day.

My hope and prayer is that you Mamas out there feel celebrated and loved by your family. I know it hasn’t been easy with this quarantine life but hopefully we will all look back on this and see how strong we were, and maybe even discovered something new about our kids or spouse and appreciated it.

So as you are quarantined, you can still do online shopping to support some of these small businesses. Here is a this list of what I love to give Moms on their special day or maybe treat myself here and there.

1. Personalized Stationery:  I know you may think, wow, really, stationery, just what I wanted. Well, these three brands, SoHospitality Co., AThing Created and Hourglass Design Co. are my favorite and my go to for all things paper.  They offer unique designs and excellent quality paper. Both a must for writing thank you or your to-do lists. Just click on the photos and it will take you directly to the website. 

 

For the classic lady in your life…

 

 

 

 

 

For the sassy fashionista…

 

 

 

 

 

 

For the simple and effortless lady…

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. Pampering Skincare products: Every mama deserves to feel spoiled on Mother’s Day and best way to do that is with Hummingbird Farms unique collection of bath and body products. I absolutely love their lavender spray and oils (my girls too), their luxurious hand lotion, super hydrating, their sea salt scrub (hello mani at home) and all the soaps. They smell like you have just stepped out of a spa.

 

 

 

3. Stylish Accessories:  We can always add a little style to our day even when we are sitting at home in just a t-shirt and joggers. So treat yourself or a mom friend to some fun earrings by All Things New   or a necklace from Dear Muska. Each one of these ladies are small business owners with a big heart and deeply rooted in their faith. So I hope you will check them out. These are also great stops for birthdays and graduation gifts.

 

 

 

4. Fun tees to go with your accessories:  Hey we are not going anywhere for a while so why not let your mama or mama friend enjoy a soft tee that makes a statement by Milk and Honey Tees. Their tees are so soft and so stylish that you can easily pair with a skirt, distressed shorts, boyfriend jeans or joggers styled with jean jacket. These are some of my favs…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

5. An inspiring and laugh out loud book:  While we are in self-isolation, why not read a book that will inspire you, encourage you and laugh out loud with you. With On the Bright Side (which we all need these days) by Melanie Shankle and Jen Hatmaker’s Fierce, Free and Full of Fire  it will set you free and set you on fire. You will feel as if you just got back from the best girls’ night conversation with your best friend or a girlfriend getaway that left you feeling positive and ready to tackle the world!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

6. Hey Hey PJ Day! Pj day is my girls’ favorite day! They love to lounge in their pjs all day but who doesn’t it! I hope you can do that on your special day with some of these pjs from Habit, a local boutique in Nashville and they also have a location in Franklin. Habit has some of the yummiest pjs that you will not want to get out of.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now, if you are still reading this, I wish you the best day ever!

Happy Mother’s Day to you and yours! Make sure you take some time for you.  You deserve it!

 

Tis the season of checking your list and checking it twice…or three or four times in my case at least! I am at the point where I am emailing myself reminders because I end up losing the list that I started or just wake up in the middle of the night in a panic that I forgot someone or perhaps just with this brilliant gift idea for that special someone.

When I shop, I like to shop smart, efficiently and thoughtfully too. So with it being Cyber Monday, I always like to take advantage of a good deal and what better way to start than with my favorite store, Target! So regardless that this is not my usual Target Tuesday, we shall pretend it is Tuesday on this Monday morning and proceed to adding to our “Red cart” for all those special people on your list.

I have tried to include some ideas for almost everyone on your list including your fur babies.

So grab yourself your favorite beverage, get comfortable and let’s get going on a quick little shopping spree.

First up, for the little lady that seems to have everything or is absolutely impossible to buy for. You know you have one in your family or in your friend group. It’s okay. I have got you covered. I either own these, have used these and have gifted these so trust me, you can’t go wrong.

Here we go!

Simple, classic, gold hoop earrings here  and here.  These two are a must have in your accessory arsenal and are a guarantee of no return. They look good on everyone, long hair or short hair. I have short hair. They are also light weight which is always a must when I am shopping for earrings. So grabbed these for a friend, a mom or sassy teacher, put in a cute jewelry bag or organizer or you could even tie to a gift card to buy more. I promise this gift recipient will be so happy when she opens these and will find herself wearing them almost every day. I know I do.

Everyone loves a good smelling seasonal candle. I have this Holiday Spruce one burning now. It smells so warm and cozy. You will just want to curl up in a blanket and watch your favorite Christmas movie while this is burning. So for that hard to buy for friend, teacher, the neighbor or for even for a hostess gift, grab these to have on hand. They are just the right size! Add a festive ribbon and a thoughtful card of course and you are ready to go!

Need another great gift for those hard to buy for? I love these Opal House light weight throws. They are so pretty and just the right amount of weight to use all year round.  I would even get this for that tweener in your life or for the first time away college student. You could even go to your local monogram place to get it personalized to make it even more special for them.

Need some more ideas for those teenagers or college kids in your life? Grab some of these lounge wear options like this cozy cardigans here or these fun leopard print joggers. It’s great for when they are home for the holidays. They are not only cozy, but they look good instead of a cruddy tee and short shorts.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Need some kid friendly ideas? My girls love to get slippers like these or these fun socks.

They also enjoy anything they can lounge on to watch movies or play Uno like this bed rest pillow.  Now I am sensing a theme with this post. Yes, we love to be home and cozy

Speaking of being home, I am tickled to see that the old school Lite Brite is coming back. All the little pieces might be a pain, but maybe if you keep in a contained place, it won’t be so bad.  I can’t wait to see what my girls create with this fun old school activity and it will be great on those cold snowy days.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On those not so snowy days, we have enjoyed this cornhole game over and over again. It’s lasted us for at least four years now. It’s fun to bring out for cookouts or even birthday parties. It’s also easy to store as it folds up and is lightweight enough to take to tailgates if you want. So a fun gift for any active family.

 

 

 

 

Now for some fun stocking stuffers and our little fur friends gifts ideas…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I hope some of these ideas gave you some inspiration to find just the right gift for that someone that is left on your list or to get you started. I will continue to post more ideas, not just from Target but some from local businesses and companies that give back with each purchase you make.

Thanks so much for stopping by and lots of luck with your shopping list!

 

When building a wardrobe you want a basic foundation. Once you have good basics, you can layer, you can mix and match, hence multiplying your wardrobe.

As you know, I love a good basic white tee, whether that is short sleeve or long sleeve, it is a must have for your wardrobe.

When wearing a white tee, make sure that you have a ivory or taupe color cami like this one or this one. Never a lace cami because it’s just not cute and it looks like you are wearing lingerie. No one wants to see that.  When you have found the right cami you will see that your tee fits better and lays better, giving you a nice clean look.

Another great every day basic is a simple black dress like this one or this one. 

You can do so much with a black dress. You can layer it with a jacket, a cardigan or wear it by itself with some fun jewelry or even belt it. As you see, the style options are endless.

Other “basic” wardrobe multipliers are the denim and olive green utility jacket. I also love a leather jacket but let’s be real people, we will not be getting that at Target. No offense!  We can only go so far on cutting costs.

So right now, we have the v neck white tee  (long and short) that we can wear with jeans, chinos, a pencil skirt or maxi. We can wear it by itself, with jewelry, a cardigan or jacket of your choice. See just that “basic” item gave you so many looks and it’s under $20!!

We also have the simple black dress that you can belt, put a sweater over it, a leather jacket, or style with your favorite statement accessories like a leopard print pump or clutch. If you don’t want to go dressy, style it with your favorite sneakers and/or denim jacket.

See how you can have the best time styling and making the most of your wardrobe by building upon the basics. So what are you waiting for! Go to Target and grab you simple every day looks and you will be rocking out to the beat of your own style drum before you know it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I talk about the importance of dressing well and presenting yourself in a manner of how you want people to see you. As the saying goes, “You never get a second chance to make a first impression.”  So take pride in how you dress.

You don’t have to have a large budget to dress well either and if you think you do, you are wrong. Check out a few of my workwear essentials to get you started.

A classic black trouser is a must have. This style is flattering on every body type. You may think this is not my style.  It’s too classic or too tailored. Not true. You can easily put your own style spin on it whether that’s a fun top or your accessories, you make it work for you. But at the end of the day, everyone needs a good classic pair of black trousers like these.

Another classic, is this pencil skirt in a neutral color. Again, you can add a fun patterned blouse or some funky shoes to make it your own. I love that you can dress this style of skirt up or down. I often wear a white tee (I know shocker) throw a bomber or denim jacket on and tennis shoes to make it more casual. It’s kind of my pre shopping for clients uniform.

 

Here are some of my favorite type of workwear blouses to have in a wardrobe. I like a classic white, a feminine top, a more tailored one and then a casual one like this denim one. Once you have the basic bottoms like a pair of black trousers and a pencil skirt, you can make some many more outfit combinations with these tops.

Another great workwear essential item is a versatile dress like this one or this one.

Depending on your work environment, you can add boots, flats or pumps. Put a blazer or leather jacket over it (again depending on office style) and you are ready to conquer your day.

 

To finish off your look, you need a good structured handbag and pumps or simple flats. I love a more structured handbag for work not only because it’s more functional but it also looks better. When you are wearing a baggy type handbag, it can make you look heavier and less polished.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Finally, once you have these workwear staples, add more items like these sassy pants with tailored top, some fun shoes with a simple dress, and this floral dress to balance out your rather tailored look.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So there you have it! You don’t have to spend tons and tons of money to put your best style foot forward whether that’s in the work place or working from home. You are worth investing in yourself and I promise you, people will see that pride that you have taken in yourself.

Have a great week!

Well, it feels like a sauna here in Nashville, Tennessee, which makes me long for sweater weather. I am so ready to pull out my fun jackets, sweaters and boots instead of wearing sundresses and sandals to beat the heat. It’s getting really hard to hide my lack of pedicure and tan.

So let’s just pretend it’s nice and cool outside for a minute and take a look at my Target must haves for this week.

Those that know me well, know that my favorite season is Fall. I love the cool, crisp weather, the holidays that come along with such a beautiful season and all the warm and vibrant colors. One of those colors I really can’t get enough of is orange! Yes, orange or shall we say the orange family.

I love the different shades of orange like this rust, pumpkin spice or kind of paprika color in these cardigans. I wanted to get this cardigan on my shopping trip yesterday, but Target didn’t have my size. Not to worry I will find it in my size and show you how I style it soon.

This shade and length of cardigan can be worn in so many different ways. You can wear all black, whether it’s a dress or top and pants, add this cardigan, belt it and throw on your favorite leopard print accessory. I also love this shade of orange with denim, a fun graphic or stripe tee.

Other accessories that look great with this shade sweater is turquoise or tortoise shell like these.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Do not match the bracelet and earrings. One or the other here. You never want to match your necklace with your earrings. When you are already wearing a statement like necklace, wear a more subtle earring like hoops or studs to not take away from that perfect piece. 

If you are a follower on my IG you may have seen the leopard print cardigan I snagged yesterday along with this amazing belt. I love to see how many ways I can style a statement piece like this cardigan. Unfortunately, this Who What Wear cardigan is not online YET, and I am not about to link those that are kind of similar to it. I didn’t like them and will never steer you in a direction that doesn’t seem to be of good quality or just not very stylish looking.

So check out your local Target’s Who What Wear section and I will keep checking online and keep you posted if this sassy cardigan magically appears.

The belt is here and my hat is from last year but here is a similar one in another fall color I love. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some other things I saw on my Target visit, tried on and thoroughly examined is this tunic sweater. It comes in the rust color that I mentioned is my must have for Fall, but I also love the blue and gray. I tried on the small which I normally wear, but it was huge. It is already supposed to be oversize but it was really big. So that being said, order a size down.

I also tried on this color block cardigan as it reminded me of the Madewell cardigan all the style influencers were modeling during the Nordy Anniversary sale. It’s actually really soft and if it’s your style, I would grab it for the price and quality.

If I owned it, I would style it with a white tee or denim on denim with brown booties. I would even throw it on over a t-shirt dress with converse for another fun casual day look.

Two other sweaters I have my eye on but not sure I will pull the trigger yet are these…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This Isaac Mizrahi sweater is not available yet but will be soon so keep checking if it’s your thing.

And the reason I have my eye on some different and more patterned sweaters is that I already have my neutral color, classic style sweaters so these would add a little spice to my wardrobe for Fall and Winter.

Remember balance style is key when making the most of your wardrobe. So invest in what you wear the most and then not so much on the trendier items.

So I hope you get to pull out your sweaters and jackets soon wherever you are and have fun styling your wardrobe with some of these Target picks. Have a great week!

 

 

 

 

 

Well hi there! I have been in birthday party planning and hosting overload over here. My daughters are exactly a month a part. Different ages of course, but once I finish one birthday, it’s on to planning the next! It’s makes for a very exciting August and September along with starting back school, after school activities and just all the things! Whew!

So I have missed a couple of Target Tuesday posts because frankly, I just didn’t have my you know what together. But I am totally okay with it and embracing the craziness right now. I will get in my little groove soon, but in the meantime, here is what I have purchased at my favorite store, have loved and also have my eye on to possibly add to that Redcart.

Okay, let’s do this!

Of course first up are shoes. Surprise, surprise! And then some kind of animal print. What?!! Who is this woman? Oh right…it’s still me.

Anyway, I love a good slide as a great transitional piece going into Fall. It’s like you are not fully committed to having to lose your sandal game from the summer, but you are taking baby steps, you know.  This slide/mule, or what have you, also comes in other colors and patterns. So you do you and what works with your wardrobe.

I also love these bootie slides (haha! I just got tickled as I typed that). Maybe that should be a song. Booties slides to the left, and regular ones to the right?

Anyway, you know the kids’ birthday parties I was talking about earlier…so my nine year old just had her birthday at the skating rink and my sassy Columbian friend that I love dearly came in wearing these awesome kicks! The color of these shoes are absolutely perfect for fall and again, you are not totally committed to the boot season yet.  So I hope you will give them a look.

Here some other shoes that I am considering but have not bought. I love the color blush as you can wear it with so much and almost all year round. I usually pair blush with olive green, regular jeans (obviously) and white too. 

So moving on to a little more intimate things (awkward I know )but had to share the two favorite I have purchased. I know the style influencers have been all about some Soma lately which I love too, but I had already found these two gems that I love and are so comfy. So I was set. These come in other neutral colors if you are not in need of a black or light pink. I loved the one with the plunged shape so I can wear it with more v neck tops.  The other is a great every day one for t-shirts etc.

I know I have featured lounge wear before, but thought these leopard print were fun. 

Then, got to add some joggers to the mix because. I love that you can wear these around the house or run errands and still look cool and put together. They come in other colors too but I always like the classic black.

Finally, got to add a little something something with accessories to the mix and these are my picks this week.

I am loving bracelets lately especially a bunch stacked with mixed metals and beads like this one and this one.

When a new season is on the horizon, it’s so fun to kind of reinvent yourself and maybe do a little something different. I hope some of these things get you thinking or spark your style interest.

Until next time friends…thanks a bunch for stopping by.

 

 

Do you ever find yourself just standing in front of your closet with so many clothes at your fingertips, but still nothing to wear? You have all the common staples yet you still can’t seem to find the right combination or the right outfit that really makes you feel good? Or maybe you are on the other end of the spectrum, and you have absolutely nothing in your closet that you love or that fits you right and you are ready for a brand new wardrobe that will make you feel like the best version of you.

As superficial as it may seem, clothing builds confidence. When you find the right style, the right fit and the right combination for your budget and life style, you will truly shine from the inside out. No matter what season in life you are in, we can all benefit from looking our very best because when you look good, you feel good.

With Fall just around the corner, you want to take inventory of your wardrobe. See what fits well, what needs to be altered or maybe just retired because it’s had it’s time and served it’s purpose for a few seasons.

If you pick something up and you are just over it, go ahead and toss it in the donate pile and move on. You don’t want to have something just hanging in your closet taking up space and making you feel bad because you are not wearing it.

Every week, I’m in someone’s closet putting outfits together to make the most of their existing wardrobe and every time, less is always more. You don’t need a closet full of clothes to look stylish. When I shop with clients, they are always surprised how much I can style and do with the budget they give me. So regardless of what you may think or what you see on social media, you don’t need millions of dollars to look good or feel good.

When you hire me, you will  find that I am all for balanced style. I like to invest in the classic pieces and then add pops of fun and pattern that is more wallet friendly.

Speaking of budget friendly, and in the spirit of getting your wardrobe ready for Fall, I am offering a one time deal starting today until Monday, August 26th! Every package I offer will be 20 percent off! So check out my services, see what fits you, and while you are at it, see what my clients have to say about their experiences with me. You will not be sorry or regret investing in yourself.

“Amy is THE BEST at redefining your style and wardrobe using pieces you already have and guiding you to buy the missing pieces to complete amazing outfits….or as I started, having her help me pick/buy what to pack for an unexpected trip out of town where I needed to look classy and be comfortable the whole time….she was a life savior!!!”

-Maria T. 

 

“As a working mom with two children, I get overwhelmed with all of the options at the store. Amy has been a life saver for me. She keeps me accountable with my budget, and she can work with any limits.  She finds pieces that not only flatter my figure but don’t break my bank! I am so thankful for her services, and I use the book she made for me daily. I can’t recommend her highly enough!”

– C Moss

 

Look forward to hearing from you and seeing you soon!

 

 

 

Well, gone are the lazy days of summer! No more staying in our pjs until we want to and just easing into our day. No agenda, no pressing engagements. Just lounging around, playing Legos, many games of uno, building pillow forts and sometimes baking desserts even though it’s still breakfast time.

My girls and I have really soaked up these slow days of summer almost too much. Maybe watched a little too much Hallmark movies and HGTV, but I wouldn’t change it for anything. This summer has really been a sweet spot with my girls and I am going to be so sad when that alarm goes off on Friday morning. Especially, because I have to get out of my pjs or maybe not. Maybe I will still be wearing my favorite pj pants and just put a nice shirt on so at least I look pulled together from afar. Just kidding. Kind of.

So here are mine and my girls favorite pjs. I have even worn one of the tops as a shell under my blazers (see post).

So this pj top looks like it is see through in this picture but it is not. I own it and the bottoms that match it. It’s nice and cool for summer and comfy of course too.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As you can see I love separates. I like to just wear my favorite A New Day tank with the pants or any old kind of t-shirt I have around. These pants are super soft and fit true to size. I don’t have this particular pattern, but it’s the same brand and style.

Along with pj pants, I love joggers and these are my favorites. I don’t feel like I am wearing pjs when I have these on so makes me feel a little less lazy on those pjs days.

Loft and Aerie also make great joggers if you want to check them out. I have this pair here. 

If you are a more night shirt type sleeper, I have one very similar to this one. Mine is a few years old so I couldn’t find the exact same one or brand. This is a new brand Target carries and it has great reviews. Just like the one I have from Target, I like that is longer in the back, so I am not showing all my business especially around my kids.

My girls love pj separates just like their mama and these are their picks…

They like these pj pants because not only are they soft but lightweight and they love to wear their school or church tees with it. There is something comforting about a well worn tee paired with their favorite pj pants. .

I also have these sleep shorts in my cart for my Livi’s 9th birthday coming up. She loves lavender and these pj shorts looked so soft and comfy. This would be a cute outfit for a sleepover too.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well, that’s it folks! Short and sweet!

Cheers to more pj days and sweet moments with your special people.

 

 

 

 

 

Well, hi there friends! Here it is, already another Target Tuesday! So glad you stopped by.

If you are new here, this is a day I like to feature my favorite Target picks of the week, mostly in fashion, but I do dabble in home decor for good measure.  Most of the “picks” are things I have tried on and loved. Things I have added to my red cart. Things my girls have approved of (which is not easy to do, they have particular style). And  then thanks to Joanna Gaines and Opal House, my couch is looking so snazzy and cozy with my new throw pillows (see last post).

This week I wanted to provide you with my favorite hair accessories and sun hats. Even though my girls and I have short to medium length hair and fine hair at that, we still like to have fun and accessorize with headbands, fun clips and bows. Then, on our bad hair days or pool days, we throw on a floppy hat or fedora to beat the heat while still feeling pulled together.

So here is what we actually own and love. Hope you love our picks.

This Jules headband/headwrap has been such a fun go to this summer whether I am heading to barre class or the pool. I have even used it to tie around my purse or wrist as an added accessory. I also love the patterns and colors as you can easily wear it all year round.

This A New Day blue and white stripe headband  just screams French chic to me and summer. It seems like something Grace Kelly would wear on her yacht in Monaco. At least that’s what I envisioned when I added it to my cart. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We can’t forget the littles. My girls and I found this sassy headband a couple of weeks ago. My little one loves anything that sparkles and my oldest thought it just looked so retro. It really is cute on. They have worn it more than I thought they would. They have worn it with their white denim overalls and tee to wearing it with a cute t shirt dress and their Adidas.

This Cat and Jack headband is also one I was thinking would not get worn that much but has at least with my little one. It’s easier for her to put headbands on by herself and she likes to do things on her own. Very independent. She loves to wear this with her white maxi dress or another favorite is her denim shorts and chambray top from Target of course. You can get it here.

For some girls that might not be headband kind of girls, I thought this animal print JoJo bow was so cute, and the colorful bands, which we can’t seem to have enough of. My girls will even wear them on their wrists like bracelets. We don’t own these particular ones (yet), but they are in my cart to add to my girls’ upcoming bday gifts along with this cute mini Caboodle.

Moms, you could even match your girls and get these A New Day animal print clips.

I recently mentioned in my IG stories some favorite leopard print clips that I found at Altard State but these look great too and they are a little longer which might be good for those with a lot more hair than this girl.

Finally, another great summer accessory my girls and I both have worn quite a bit is the fedora. This one is my favorite and one my oldest is pictured here is from the dollar aisle years ago and she still wears it.

Here is one similar to the one I have. I also love floppy hats and wear this striped one mostly just on vacations. Seems a bit much while at the pool with my kids but maybe not.

So that’s it for now friends! I hope you enjoy what is left to your summer. The count down is on in our house. 9 more days until reality hits! Whew!
