One of the big shoe trends this Spring and Summer is lace up flats and sandals. They are everywhere and they won't be going away any time soon. If you plan on buying some new sandals or some new flats this Spring, consider something with laces and ankle ties.

Well in between busting out dinner and helping the kids after school, I have a few minutes today. I opted to hop on the computer and do my "one thing that can't get undone". And look at that, it's a blog post again!

We're only a few days from Christmas so I had to share my most festive holiday look. This is one you can easily recreate this week as you head to a gift exchange, celebrate Christmas Eve or go to a movie on Christmas Day.

Someone asked me what my hobbies are the other day and I struggled to find an answer that didn't either include what I do for work and something very girly like shopping or painting my nails. I do love to read and be creative in many ways, but shopping is still near the top of the list. Which is why I never thought I'd enjoy having someone else shop for me.

It's Monday, but thank goodness we are enjoying one more day of the weekend today. Easton has school off for the holiday and because we employ ourselves, we get to take part of the day off as well! We are working this morning, but this afternoon we are heading to an indoor water park with my parents.

For some reason pastels like blush, mint and gray came to mind first. Not exactly the Spring-y kind, but muted colors that are still airy and light. So when I received this beautiful sweater from PB&J Boutique in the mail, it was exactly in line with my thoughts.

So many of Pantone's trending colors this fall are out of the box for this season. There are a lot of pastels and brights - including cobalt blue. I personally love traditional fall colors, so I wasn't really excited about this palette initially, but I think I'm warming up to it and it will work its way into my wardrobe.

I've noticed my shopping has picked up a little lately, and I have to blame it on the anticipation for fall style. I love wearing light layers, and fall colors are my jam - so once the stores start stocking cooler weather items, I start crushing on them.

Summer is not a season that inspires me much in the wardrobe department. I don't love dresses, and I don't wear short shorts or tanks. That cuts out a lot of cute summer style. I've said it before, but I promise, fall will bring out the creativity in my outfits.
