How to add style to your wardrobe

Happy Friday Eveeeeee

The weekend is almost here and we couldn't be happier! Life is crazy these days running after a toddler. I wish I had taken all those naps I denied to take before having Giuliana! zzzzzzz!

I come across a lot of moms that say, "oh I could never pull that look off!", or "that only looks good on you.", or a very common one is "I could never wear that.", and I honestly wish that you would buy it and just TRY IT!

Knee high sandals are such a trendy item to wear this season. From designer ones to budget friendly, we have them all! For me, they make wearing shorts A LOT easier. They hide my white legs. So, I’ve gathered a couple of tips to help you try new trends:

1. First step is to educate yourself with what’s on trend (read blogs, go on pinterest, buy magazines).
2. Buy items that you would love to wear but never have before.
3. Try these items at home with simple pieces, try to focus on showing off one item at a time.
4. Take pics and send them to your girlfriends, ask for the opinions of those you trust.
5. If you have never tried edgy & new trends (like knee high sandals), don’t' pair them with wild patterns like palm trees, which are totally in. Stick to more subtle and simple pieces (white, black, denim, grays - neutrals!)
6. Once you feel comfortable with one trend, go ahead and mix it with another one (like seen here, I tried it with my long vest).
7. Then repeat these steps all over again!

Obsessed with G's new shoes. Mini Melissa's have been a favorite since before she was born! She had the popular black cat face ones for a year and half, but now I was able to get these new models which are slip on, easy to wear, comfy, and she's totally in love with them too! #thebest

Hat lovers mommy & me

HI THERE!

It is no secret I LOVE HATS! I have been wearing them for a while. When I was younger I used to wear all kinds of hats, I was always obsessed with them, then I hit my teenage years and I wore baseball caps & trucker hats (remember those LOL) I then had a hat break since my husband was not too fond of them, he thought they were weird, #whatvs... but once I married him and had that ring on my finger and hat season came around, I started wearing them ALL over again! lol! GUYS! they are just the best accessory you could have, if your hair is dirty and not cooperating that day? you could just throw on a hat! Is your outfit a bit blah and needs a picker upper? throw on a hat!!!! Problem is now I can't seem to stop buying them. It becomes a problem when you have 3 different black hats and your husbands asks you why are you buying another black? and your response is "its a different shade of black" #truestory. Anyhow, take advantage of hat season ladies, they come and go just like everything else in fashion. 

As my hat obsession continues I am trying to make my daughter as obsessed with hats as I am. so I literally buy her tons of them, hoping eventually she will leave one on for 1 full hour. Slowly but surely, I know it will happen. We are obsessed with this adorable dress from Baby Dino best material and print, so easy to style and wear. 

I've shared before how crazy difficult it is to blog with a 1 1/2 yr old baby. Well, today's post is proof of just that. I forgot part of my outfit in the car and remembered half way through shooting these pics. I was too busy running behind a toddler. The amazing and oh so talented Yesi from simplylively.com is so patient with us, words just can't describe. It's hard when you are trying to photograph a baby who's mission is to conquer the world any moment she has.
