Life with Olive through our month milestone photos.
Oh, what a joy it has been to be the mom to this little miracle baby girl. If you’ve been around here for a while, you know about our journey to Olive. Years TTC and then going through IVF was the hardest thing we have ever done, but BOY was it worth it a million times over! These photos may not seem like anything too interesting and let’s be serious – they are mostly here for me to look back on.
My favorite thing about this is probably watching her hair grow. SO CRAZY.
Need help finding a dress for an upcoming wedding? We’ve rounded up our favorites from Nordstrom, Anthropologie and REVOLVE for you.
NORDSTROM
Nordstrom is by far the most popular amongst our followers for shopping for wedding dresses! We have to admit that we are a little salty that the Nordstrom here in Richmond closed and haven’t shopped there in a while. BUT, they really do have a great selection of, well, almost everything. So, we hit our old trusty site to find a few favorites for wedding guests and here they are.
I picked a bunch of VERY different style dresses to hopefully appeal to all styles and dress codes.
REVOLVE
Revolve seems to be a pretty polarizing retailer. You either love it or you hate it. Either way, they have a great selection of wedding guest dresses – including the ones we are wearing in the pic above! (Rebecca’s Saylor Dress, Catherine’s Bardot Dress). Here are a few of our favorite options available right now.
ANTHROPOLOGIE
I have to admit that it has been a while since I shopped on Anthropologie! But when I polled my instagram followers and asked what their go-to retailers for wedding guest dresses were, so many people said Anthro. And DANG. I have been missing out!!! For a while I have had trouble getting inspired or seeing something that really *wows* me and now I know where all the good stuff has been hiding! There are so many fun occasion dresses and not just from in-house brand BHDLN. Now I just need more special occasions.
Here are a few that really caught my eye, but their whole wedding shop is great.
The most maximalist pajama collab that LAKE has done since we have been partners.
When we got the email that LAKE was partnering with Blair Eadie for an Atlantic-Pacific x LAKE Collection, we were thrilled. We immediately texted each other to say how stoked we were to see the designs. As LAKE partners, we get to choose a few pieces to try from each collection and choosing which ones we wanted for this was SO hard. I swear, we both stared at the line sheet for hours trying to decide.
It’s just that good.
We were both immediately drawn to the rainbow pieces! Cath decided on the pajama set and I went for the robe. They are like rays of sunshine in our closets (and drawers). We chose the poplin pj sets this time, but of course they have the classic PIMA Cotton pajamas in a special Atlantic-Pacific color combo as well.
We were so excited to bring our pjs with us to our recent trip to Primland’s Auberge Resort and snapped some pix in our cottage. Stay tuned for more photos and video from the trip, it was a good one and the pajamas really brought up the morning vibes.
As always, we only share things here that we REALLY love. So trust us when we say that everything LAKE is worth the price tag.
Olive is wearing the baby Easter pajamas and they are beyond adorable! If the Atlantic-Pacific collection isn’t speaking to you- there is still time to get your Easter pajamas, yall! (Size up for babies, they run a little small. Olive is in 9-12 months).
Which pieces do you guys have your eyes on? Let us know if you buy something!
These 4 dresses are flattering, affordable and fun for spring.
I am getting used to my postpartum body & weight loss and finally felt like buying myself a few nice new things for spring! I have been faithful to Abercrombie for a few years now, and as always they come through with this haul of dresses! They have options for all shapes and styles and they are basically always having sales. SO, if these aren’t on sale right now, bookmark the links or save this blog post and come check back in the next few days. Chances are, a sale will be going on!
OR as always, follow me on instagram, because I will let you know when the sales are the best!
This is a classic Abercrombie style and I have to admit that I just ordered it to “see what it was like.” I didn’t think that I would love it as much as I do! It comes in a few different colors and is SO flattering! A spring must.
