The Summer Jumper

You're seeing a lot more of me on the blog lately and it's because I realize as life thing happen, I think I document them which really is a nice reflection to look back on years later but in reality, I spaced documenting and then when I'm in a pinch looking for a recipe or an outfit or game we loved, I can't find it quickly on my blog. So here I am, making more of an effort to get in this space and share things I'm loving and know I'll want to look back on for inspiration.

What am I loving right now? Jumpers for summer. It's not quite at the peak of heat yet still being in May but when it does heat up, I know I'll be grabbing this jumper with a simple lacey bralette and sandals because it's easy. I feel put together yet I still feel comfortable.

It's been a funny shift over the last 2-3 years for me. I think I was in such a season of postpartum after my girls so getting dressed looked a lot like leggings and crew neck sweatshirts. Did I ever feel put together and stylish in them? No. lol shocker. Was I comfortable? Yes. But a shift happened probably late 2020 and I felt myself desiring to curate a closet that had purpose and intention with what was brought in with two main requirements: style and comfort. Over the last couple years now it's been a joy to be more selective and picking pieces I know hit that mark and in turn, I'm much more confident quickly grabbing something to wear and feeling at peace in it.

That's a game changer. I hope you can find that joy dressing yourself, too. Use code AUBREYKINCH25OFF for a discount shopping PinkBlush right here.

Black & White Floral

Remember a few weeks ago I had the itch to paint the girls room? Well I did and then I knew we needed a POP of something. Something whimsy and soft but bold enough to just make it absolutely stunning. I went with this Black and White Floral peel and stick wallpaper from Anewall because we've used them in the past and always have great success. It added just such a beautiful touch and I couldn't be happier with it.

FAQs -

can it be applied to textured walls?

+ they advice not to do this but we’ve done 4 wall murals from them and always done it on textured walls. 😜

does it come off easy?

+ yes! such a great option for renters to make it feel more homey and just peel when you’re moving out or as homeowners if you want to change things up.

does it damage the walls?

+ we’ve removed 2 of the murals before with zero damage. a couple spots of paint want peeled off but nothing major & easily fixed with some fresh paint.

is it wallpaper or vinyl?

+ this specific one we did it vinyl but every design Anewall offers is up to you to choose: pre-pasted wallpaper, peel & stick or traditional wallpaper. you decide!

Vacation on the Mind

We head down to Mexico very soon and I have vacation on my mind now! It's always such a treat to sun away to "Arizona's Beach" just a few hours south of our home. We typically try going two times a year so this will be our first trip of 2022 and we are going again in July. Most people go to 30A, you'll always find us in Rocky Point, MX!

I'm packing the basics but have to share a few staples I always bring down from favorite swimmers to beach totes to hats. You can't go wrong with any of these items for your next resort vacation.
