French Terry Moto Jacket from Gap

Ahhhhh, I know this was going to be a winner.




I also knew Gap was pulling shenanigans by removing this item during Friends and Family. Well, I stalked this and got it in a medium petite. Glad I did because it is a bit snug on the chest, but nice elsewhere.




Little blurry, sorry about that, but the fit is really good, can trend boxy, but not too bad...worth trying to find either in store or it may pop back up online again. When I just checked online, the petite sizes were gone. But you and me both that doesn't mean it's gone for good. Humph.


One more closer shot, not great, but you get the idea. Hope it cools off soon!
I can see this looking super cute with snugger fitting ankle jeans, a striped tee, and metallic or even ox-blood colored flats.
Hurry up fall!

Etsy Love...Delicate, Minimal Jewelry from Edor

I have been shopping a bit on Etsy here and there and have found some wonderful things. Recently I've tried this minimalist jewelry artist, Edor, and love how her items look. I just ordered this tiny dot necklace.







It was only 20 dollars and I feel fits my frame perfectly, not too overwhelming or fussy, just simple. I love it and have been wearing it ever since I received it in the mail. I love it so much I just ordered another one...





Looking forward to seeing this show up soon!

I also need to state, this Etsy seller has no idea I have posted her work on my blog, I just really like her products.

Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66

These sneakers are great! I always end up with new things for myself at back to school time and this year is no exception.




These are the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 sneaker and they are just cool. I got them from Nordstrom.

I have been looking for an easy go to sneaker for running errands and walking back and forth to school in the next few months. They can go with crops and shorts while it is still warm and then on to jeans as the weather cools.




The colors are pink and navy, so cute! I love them so much, I ordered a white and green pair for my husband!




These are from Nordstrom also AND on sale! But he can't wear them when I have mine on!

Gap Terry Moto Jacket

I really wanted to order this Terry Moto Jacket from Gap during the Friends and Family sale.







I wanted it the black medium petite, but once the sale hit, all the black petite sizes were gone. So one of two things happened...perhaps I was very spot on in guessing this jacket is perfect, and that very well could be. Or, Gap pulled all the black petites and they will pop back up on Monday, when the sale is over. As much as a hope the second scenario is true, that is a shitty way to do business, Gap. I guess I just have to tune in tomorrow and see.

Glittery Naturino

Okay so this is really supposed to be a grownup space, but I have been so focused on finding my daughter's shoes, I'd thought I post what I finally settled on for her first day of kindergarten! She is in an age of hard to find cute foot wear, so I was happy to find this darling blue glittery pair from Naturino






She loves them and she is so excited for school to start!

And here is the outfit of the day from me:






It is a sundress from a few years ago from Ann Taylor, my Fiona wedges from Kork Ease and, most importantly, one of my Hanes Barely There Bandini bras to keep everything under control.





These things are the best at keeping me covered, but not adding a ton of extra fabric on a hot day. Find them here on Hanes..

School is Starting Soon! Celebrate with Onitsuka Mexico 66


School is starting in a few weeks and I have been hard at work getting the kids ready! Shoes for my little girl has proved to be very difficult. You would not believe all the shoes I've ordered for her and am sending back!
I did order a few things for myself from the Nordstrom sale...but I didn't keep very much.
The most fun item I found is a pair of new sneakers for me! Onitsuka Mexico 66




These are super cute with ankle jeans and full length jeans as well. I have been looking for a new pair of comfortable shoes for the fall and I think these will fit the bill! Aaannnnddd of course they were not on sale at all. Look for them in my outfits of the day coming up! Right now I feel like all I wear are skirts and tee shirts or plaid shorts and a tank. So sick of it. When the kids are safely tucked away at school, I am looking forward to putting more effort into creating cute and casual daytime styles. It is such a difficult balance between looking presentable, but not over done.
