Just a couple of weeks ago I had the best time attending one of my close friend’s baby showers. Now, of course, I could not show up empty-handed. So, I took a trip down memory lane and went through my baby shower registry to find the perfect gift.

Every baby is different and has preferences regarding certain items like bottles and pacifiers. However, you can never go wrong with a blanket. My Pinck Dots and Blue Folly ChappyWrap blankets come in midi sizes, making them the perfect size for babies and kids.

This summer is a big transition for all of us! It’s our first one with Teagan, but more importantly it’s the season where Teagan has made the biggest changes. Long gone are the days of multiple three hour naps, or sitting still in one place. We’ve learned how to stand, pull up, crawl, and even scale furniture so now there’s nothing big enough to slow us down. There’s no doubt to anyone around him that he’ll be walking in just a matter of weeks.

I am soo excited to announce that my collection with ChappyWrap is launching THIS Wednesday, June 15th!

If you follow me on IG then you know just how big of a fan of am of ChappyWrap! They seriously make the greatest blankets you’ll ever own. But I know what you’re thinking– how great can a blanket actually be? I was a skeptic too bc I’d always snag a blanket from Target or Home Goods.

Does anyone else feel like they go through shopping “phases”!? Like there’s one trend, color, or item you can’t stop obsessing over online? For me, absolutely. That’s why I’m super excited to start posting “curated collections” of items related to a specific theme each week.

Kicking off this series with the color living rent-free in my mind (and in my shopping cart…): Lilac. Lilac is the quintessential spring color, conjuring up fresh blooms, Easter eggs, and berry ice cream.

Bringing a newborn home and beginning your new day-to-day life is no small task. The day I brought my son home, I quickly learned that I was underprepared. Even after spending hours on my registry, and recieving sooo many generous gifts from our village, my husband still had to run out to pick something the day we arrived home! Throughout my whole pregnancy, no one had laid out for me what exactly was essential for those first couple of weeks.

The great thing about fall is that it brings some of the greatest colors to our lives. Dark purples, warm oranges, and vibrant reds fill the trees and our closets, but nothing compliments a fall outfit more than a matching fall lipstick! Matte Lips are a classic fall staple and if you want to make a lasting impression with your fall attire, your lipstick should represent the season too. Some brands have created the most rich browns and warm tones to recreate the best fall colors.
