Little White Dress
Today marks day two of running around like a chicken with my head cut off due to the new schedule with Drake. Maybe I'm exaggerating a little bit but it really had me worried Sunday night while getting lunches ready and clothes set out. I had a moment of panic thinking what if I'm terrible at taking on this exciting new chapter. What if I'm the stepmom who gets him to school late and forget to pack his favorite snack. What happens if there's inclement weather....step brothers....anyone? But really, WHAT IF?
After I gave myself a good dose of self driven anxiety I passed out and woke up Monday quite easily and things went as smoothly as they could've. I even have my new workout routine scheduled in before I get Drake so I don't miss any days Monday-Friday and yesterday seemed to be the perfect scenario. All went well.
Another thing that has my heart a little lighter are these earrings. I got this perfect lace dress from H&M last year and it's one of my favorite pieces in my closet. I knew these turquoise earrings would pair seamlessly with it. Miss Charlotte from Charlotte is Cha Cha sent them my way and I literally fell in love when I saw them in person. I've always been a huge fan of turquoise and haven't really purchased pieces I loved but really, these earrings add the perfect touch. Do you guys love the turquoise accessory trend? I might have to splurge on a necklace like this, also.
On to goodies, Charlotte is offering 15% off her Etsy shop this week only using code "KINCH15".
Here are a few more favorites of mine from her shop:
Happy shopping friends and seriously, thanks for all the love again with our exciting new journey with Drake!

Colored Blazer: A Collaboration
Yay for collaborations with pretty miss Becky from Cella Jane! This month we chose colored blazers and of course, it's been my favorite to date. The obsession I have with them is seriously concerning but I can't help the polished look they give and they're just too stylish to pass up. Can we all agree on this? I think so. It also helps that going into fall, I can wear these now to cover the half sleeve at the church and people won't think I'm crazy since the weather will be cooling; double yay!
Also, I just want to touch on a couple posts Becky has done lately because they're all too stunning not to share. My favorites as of lately are here, here and here (another blazer post, big surprise!). Enjoy!

A girlfriend told me her honey surprised her with breakfast in bed and he made this and it was to die for. I'm a huge brown sugar lover so I was intrigued. I tried it, fell in love and haven't made my coffee different since. It really is that scrumptious. You must try it!
And again, thank you for all the love on yesterday's exciting news. We are over the moon!

Where you at cold weather?
The one thing I love about hubby's birthday being in late summer is it always get my mind in fall mode. After it's come and past, I start making my season transition checklist and it gets me yearning for brisk nights and my fave caramel apple spice from Starbs (which they sell all year!).
This past weekend I was on a mission to clean out the closets. It gives me so much anxiety knowing how all our closet space is filled to the max and makes me concerned for how we can manage making room for a larger family so I was determined to clean everything out. During that time I came across all my fall and winter clothing which has me dying for some cooler air now. I always say I live in the wrong state because I love the cold more than anything and I have to say my wardrobe is perfection during those short cool months in AZ. I realized while moving clothes from hangers to storage bins I'll be wearing the same thing all during the cooler times in similar variations and I'm completely okay with that. Skinnies, a chunky sweater or cardigan, boots and the classic aviators. I also can't wait for slathering my nails with olive, navy and oxblood tones. I CANNOT WAIT. You too?
Hubs and I have some big news to share this week also, I think Wednesday will be the day!
+ and no, we aren't pregnant.... :)

Camo Love
Tuesday was a little different than normal in Phoenix, it was raining. That happens about 4 times a year. Okay, not really but it's maybe 10 times tops so with it being in the 80's versus the 110's, I kind of had to break out my new camo leggings from Hello Fab to enjoy it. And you guys, these leggings have the softest fabric I've felt in my entire life. Truly. I have to say I'm also excited to pair these with some boots and a cozy cardigan but let's be honest, that weather doesn't hit Phoenix until November so I guess it's time to be patient.
In other news, Drake was my photographer with these and we chanced a little time in the middle of the street meaning, we almost got run over about 30 times. Yay for being alive today!
And really, you need these leggings or anything from Hello Fab for that matter.
