Proper Hunt

Mango Knit Embroidered Sweater / MOTHER The Looker Fray Ankle Jeans / sold out Target mules (similar) / Missoma Gold Tidal Ring

Hi guys! Wow, it's been a looong minute, hasn't it. Things have been so busy since the kids started virtual school and even leading up to their first day. I naively thought, oh I'll be able to get some blog posts out while the kids (really just Vivi, Cora's completely independent and fine on her own) are in class. Nope! That has definitely not happend yet, but I'm hopeful that once Vivi gets used to this schedule, I'll be able to get some work done. Fingers crossed!

With the little trickles of cooler weather we've had, I've been slowly growing my Fall wardrobe with sweaters and coats. I recently received several online orders that I made a few weeks ago and wanted to share what I got. I even made an Instagram reel showing all of these looks so you can see how they move and hopefully give you a sense of scale as well.

The first three sweaters are from MANGO, one of my favorite retailers. And I got them in a size medium and they fit perfectly. Then #4, #5, and #6 are from J.Crew that I got during one of their many sales that they have. Always wait for one of their sales, no point in paying full price when they've got 30-40% off frequently. I got the sweater and jacket in size small (they run big apparently), and the tee in a size medium. And the last three sweaters are from Zara and I'm wearing a medium in all of them.

I hope this helps if you were interested in any of these pieces. I'm so ready for cold weather! Give me sweata weatha!

It's here! Early access to Nordstrom's Anniversary sale for cardholders is happening right now. These 20 pieces are what I'm thinking will help create an easy capsule wardrobe for Fall and Winter. Plus a few beauty products thrown in and a piece of artwork for good measure.
I always find that with these kinds of sales, the best thing to do is get really good staple pieces like jeans and coats/jackets. They're what you're going to get the most bang for your buck and what Nordstrom's is offering right now is so good. I'm obsessed with that camel coat along with the other two jackets. I mean this jacket, just throw it on when you're on the run and you'll instantly look put together.
If you don't have a Nordstrom card, you can browse all Anniversary Sale items and save your favorites to your Wish List so you can check out faster when the sale opens to everyone on August 19. But if you have a card, then happy shopping because the sale is open now to you!

H&M's collab with Johanna Ortiz, a designer that I have long admired but have never been able to afford, is now live! Her designs are so fun & vibrant all the while keeping it feminine and chic. And this collab with H&M is no different than with her own collections.

There are 16 pieces in this collection and I honestly should've just shared them all in this post (duh!) but I clearly wasn't thinking straight. But here are 9 out of the 16 that I felt so compelled to share.

Hope you guys get a little piece of Johanna Ortiz to jump start your spring wardrobe!

Happy Friday! I'm sharing some new favorites that I've got my eyes on. Can you tell I'm ready for spring? It's been quite cold here lately which hasn't helped at all. I was even searching for flights to Florida for Spring Break because I am just ready for some warmth again.

Anywho, I'm going to have to cut it short because I've got to get Cora ready for her daddy-daughter dance. Exciting times! Hope you guys have a great weekend and happy shopping these fun spring pieces!

Leap Year Favorites

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 / 10 / 11 / 12 Happy Friday! I'm sharing some new favorites that I've got my eyes on....

Boy, do I have a special surprise for you. I may or may not have found a retailer that has tops that look very much like my favorite Parisian brand's tops but at a fraction of the cost. The Parisian brand being Sezane and while I have found another retailer to shop from, I still love Sezane's offerings just not the prices so much.

I recently went shopping with Steve at the mall to just do some browsing and while we were walking, something caught my eye when we passed Lucky Brand. I immediately said to Steve that I had to pop in there to see what caught my eye. And as soon as we walked in, I was literally floored with what I saw. I'll be honest, I normally don't shop at Lucky Brand. It's not a brand that I think of for clothes. But I think that's about to change.

The piece that I saw from afar was a floral top and as soon as I got up close, I fell in love. The sweet floral print, the perfectly feminine rounded collar, and puffed shoulders are as if a top was created from my dreams. And the best part was it was 40% off that day. Oh wait, actually that's not the best part. There were more equally feminine tops all around me! I wasn't planning on trying on a bunch of stuff because I didn't want Steve to suffer waiting for me, but after seeing all that was around me, I told him to take a seat at the comfy sofa. Thank goodness he brought his airpods, he was entertained with watching videos so not too much suffering happened for him.

I'm certain that I'll be wearing this A LOT and so I'll share how I wear it all the different ways possible, but for today's look I decided to go with a combo that is a go-to. Just easy jeans with the top and some booties. I've also linked a handful of tops below that I know you'll love from Lucky Brand.
