I think hats are such a fun look so I’ve been trying to incorporate them into my look on a more regular basis. David may or may not laugh at me every time. I’m trying to keep it real around here: forgot to take off the Sea Bands. >>Linkups<< What I Wore Wednesday with Cappuccino and Fashion I Feel Pretty with Get Your Pretty On Jersey Girl, Texan Heart Sydney Fashion Hunter | bloglovin | instagram | facebook | pinterest | the studio | By Claire | Filed under fashion
Ahhh, the weekends. Don’t you just love them? We were able to have some fun and get some things checked off the list… so that’s pretty much my favorite kind of weekend. I mean, as I type this I’m watching Couples Retreat which is one of my favorite movies of all time. Thank you, Vince Vaughan. Hope you all enjoyed some time off from work. Friday night was mocktail + takeout night. It was so relaxing and a fun way to start the weekend. Although, if I’m being real… it was a little depressing to be buying all this stuff… Read More
We’ve almost made it to the weekend, friends! Here are my favorites from the week… Quote | Because sometimes the only victories are the tiny ones. This may go up in my house. Or classroom, or both. Day | Can I get a celebratory shout for four day weeks. I seriously feel like I was made for them. Monday we went out on the lake with some of the Pierce clan. Here’s our selfie. Throwback | 2 years ago we celebrated Kaitlyn’s bachelorette weekend and had so much fun! Spring looks | Envious of these gorgeous bloggers! Meghan in this blue beauty. Kate… Read More
Pregnancy is one of those wonderfully, elusive experiences. It’s elusive because every single one is different. When David and I found out we were pregnant, I burst into tears {of course}. I have several friends who’ve had babies so I didn’t feel completely blinded by what pregnancy brings. But I have learned SO much. Here are the things I wish I would have known… 1. If you find out you’re pregnant early in the process {we found at about 3.5 weeks} you might feel completely normal at first. And then, BAM! Hello headaches, nausea and fatigue. 2. If you’ll eat… Read More
>>This outfit was inspired by Maegen’s post last week. I just love it when a fashion blogger gives me a new vision for pieces already in my closet. >>I’m all about outfits with a stretchy waistband these days. And anytime I can incorporate a graphic tee, it just makes me happy. >>Are you shocked that I’m actually blogging? Yeah me too. Trying to earn my fashion blogger status back. >>Thanks for all your sweet comments, emails and texts after sharing our news yesterday!

When you get home from a jam-packed family weekend at 10pm on Sunday evening, the post goes up a little late. #reallife After work on Friday, we headed to Gatlinburg, TN where I’ve spent so many weekends in the last two decades. This was our farewell to the cabin and it was a quick stay but a fun one. Saturday morning, we packed up for Knoxville to see Gram, Aunt Sue, Lish, Tai and Buzz. We ate a delicious lunch and finished up the party favors. Saturday evening, we headed to Aunt Janice’s house for a cookout to… Read More
Happy Friday!! This week has been a million times better than last and I’m so excited for this weekend. Let’s just start there. Here are my faves… Weekend plans | We’re headed to Tennessee for a full-on family weekend that’s starting in Gatlinburg and moving to Knoxville. Gram turns 80 and we’re celebrating big and hanging out with both sides of the fam. I can’t wait to hang with this crew. Looks | Spring just feels like the perfect time to throw on a jacket over pretty much anything. My denim jacket has been on replay, recently. I’m also eyeing… Read More
I wrote this draft on February 23 and saved it, assuming I would publish at some point. I’m not sure what makes today the right day for it except that I’m starting this day off frustrated and somehow this song and this post keeps coming to my mind. Maybe I need to go listen to this song a few times before I start this day off on the wrong foot. >>> <<< I’ve probably heard this song by Hillsong United a million times. No lie, I listen to it all the time. I still remember the very first time I… Read More
A few weeks {months?} ago, I remember scrolling through Jana’s blog and she had posted all her… photos that were worthy of a laugh. All those pictures that don’t get included in the post. Every fashion blogger has them. So I made a mental note to do the same. Today is that day. We’re halfway through the week! You deserve a few laughs. What fun is life if you can’t laugh at yourself? Live it up, today. We’re {over} halfway to the weekend! >>Linkups<< What I Wore Wednesday with Cappuccino and Fashion I Feel Pretty with Get Your Pretty On Jersey Girl,… Read More
