Fashion

I am not gonna lie I used to hate matching anything. I thought it was cheesy. Then I had two girls and now I cant get enough. McKenzie is 6 so I know she’s not going to think its cool for long. Rylee and Cru is one of my favorite brands to put on the girls. It’s stylish, comfortable and so nicely made. They make it fun to mix and match different pieces too.

This season they released their first ever dresses for women! I knew I had to get the matching fox dresses. They are a great fall color perfect for apple picking or the pumpkin patch. I styled my dress with fishnets and blue suede lace up boots. The girls black booties are from Gap. I cant wait for it to get a little cooler so we can layer our looks with hats, scarves and tights!

It’s no secret that I LOVE to shop! It’s so much fun for me to dress my two daughters. I enjoy shopping small. I had a children’s clothing and accessory line of my own 5 years ago. I know the blood, sweat and tears that goes into designing, producing and marketing a line. When you shop small it really does make a difference in someone else’s life!

Whimsy Tails is a favorite of mine. My girls have the mermaid tail blankets which they love! They are great quality and super soft. Recently we bought the oh so cute high waisted swimsuits too. OMG… love them! I want every style for my girls. They are the cutest! We went to Hawks Cay in Duck Key over the July 4th holiday and I can’t tell you how many compliments they received on their suits!

Tammy shared her touching story with me about her journey with Whimsy Tails. “I taught myself to sew 9 years ago. My three daughters have patiently tried on numberless outfits. No matter how stressful life has become, sewing brought me joy. A few years ago I had some complications from Lupus. Within a few weeks I went from taking care of my three young daughters to lying in the Intensive Care Unit, on life support, with a breathing tube. When I awoke, my husband had set up a laptop with pictures of my girls on a slideshow. As I looked at these pics of my girls (wearing outfits I had sewn), I knew I had to get better so that I could take care of my kids. Even at my lowest moments, sewing lifted my spirits. My husband would bring fabric, needles, and thread to my hospital room so I could sew bow ties for my nephews. I love picking out fabric for the swimsuits and seeing the pictures that people send me of their kids.”

I am a fan and I can’t wait to purchase more Whimsy Tails swimsuits. Enter promo code: STEPHANIE15 for 15% off your purchase valid until July 18, 2017. WWW.WHIMSYTAILS.COM

Girl’s day! Every woman on the planet needs them whether you make it happen or not is up to you, but I feel they are good for your soul.  When you are younger, no kids or husband what do you do? Hang out with your girls, of course. Then time has a way of changing things. Husbands and children take us to a beautiful place, but it’s a place that has little time for just being girlie and carefree with your friends.  Girl’s weekends are even better, but I’ll take what I can get at the moment. Even if it’s just for a day going on a little adventure with your friends recharges your spirit and gives you a little hop in your step.

My girl, Oona and I went to Wynwood Walls in Miami for the day. She is the Yin to my Yang.  You know the kind of friend you can just be yourself with. You can talk non-stop or sit in peaceful silence; it’s a beautiful thing. We had fun shopping, enjoying the art, going out to lunch and just being silly.  Our Nena & Co. bags came along for the ride. These bags are the best. I use them for my diaper bag and for a getaway travel bag. The convertible day bags are the perfect everyday bag with just enough room for everything I need and still small enough to carry around comfortably. I get tons of compliments on them! They go quickly so if you want to snag one of your own they restock their website every Friday.
