Kiehl’s midnight repair.  About a month ago I was looking for a face oil to add to my nightly routine and decided to give this one a try.  It’s perfect!  Good consistency, not greasy, and the smell is ah-mazing!

Striped dress.  A simple, comfy dress for spring and summer.  Pair with a denim or suede jacket and sneakers or espadrilles and you’re good to go!

Pompom flats.  How cute are these?!  Love the girlie color and the flirty pom detail.

Aj’s obsessions

Becca High Tea Swimsuit. Love a unique one piece! This one is so flattering on.

Wrap Maxi Dress. The festival trend will always be one of my favorites. This dress will need to be added to my closet asap.

Anthropologie Opal Lustre Ring Set. I love to stack rings. My husband actually makes fun of me because of how many rings I wear on a daily basis! These from Anthro are SO pretty!

This year I will be celebrating my very first Mother’s Day!  I think what I want most is a champagne breakfast with the hubs at home while we swoon over our peacefully sleeping newborn.  But just in case that doesn’t play out as planned, I would LOVE any and all of these gifts!… I mean, those I haven’t already bought myself that is 😉

Our baby boy was born April 17, 2017.  And FYI, this floral robe is currently on sale here!

Happy Mother’s Day!!

Diorshow extase.  Where did this magic come from?!  I’m a big fan of the Diorshow and Diorshow Iconic mascaras, so I cannot wait to try out this one!

Lace midi dress.  Such a pretty dress!  Love the color, love the lace, and LOVE that it’s under $100!!

White ruffle sleeve top.  Such a sweet and simple top to pair with spring and summer skirts and shorts.

Aj’s obsessions

ASOS Asymmetric Tea Dress. Such a gorgeous dress. The uneven hem line, ruffles and pretty spring print make it a winner in my book.

Always Chambray Shirt. A chambray shirt is always a good idea- hence the name 😉 This one from JCrew is perfect- not stiff and a great feminine fit.

Topshop Cherry Blossom Shirt. Yet another great print for spring! Floral prints are everywhere right now- and as they should be.

blackberry crisp

IMG_1730

All of the fresh berries at the farmers’ market and grocery stores got me in the mood for a blackberry crisp.  This is a recipe that I’ve pieced together and it’s great because you can use a variety of berries, or even mix them up – blackberry, raspberry, strawberry, blueberry — you get the idea!

berry crisp

filling

1/2 C granulated sugar (or more to taste)
1/4 t cinnamon
3 T cornstarch
6-7 C berries

Butter an 8-9″ square or round baking dish.  Whisk together the sugar, cinnamon, and cornstarch in a large bowl.  Add berries to the bowl and toss gently to coat.  Pour the berries into the baking dish. 

crust

2/3 C flour
2/3 C rolled oats
3/4 C packed light-brown sugar
1/2 t cinnamon
1/4 t sea salt
6 T butter, cut into small pieces

Stir together the flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl.  Use fingers to squish butter into the mix until spread throughout.  Sprinkle the topping evenly over the berry filling.   

bake

Bake at 375 degrees for 50-60 minutes, until bubbling in center and brown on top.  Let cool on stovetop or wire rack for about half an hour before serving.  I love to eat it with vanilla ice cream, and the hubs likes fresh whipped cream.

Enjoy!

Kiehl’s eye treatment.  I started using this cream about a month ago and I love it!  My skin became super dry during pregnancy and I tried tons of moisturizing products.  This one is great.  Plus, I’ve got pretty sensitive skin and eyes, and I have had no issues with this cream.

Bisou sneakers.  “Bisou” is french word that means “kiss”, and it is the name of my little pug.  So needless to say, j’adore these sneaks!

Lace dress.  Sweet lace skater dress for less than $60?!?!!  I love a little white dress for spring and summer.

Aj’s obsessions

14k Gold Initial Disc Necklace. I have a necklace/charms very similar to these, but they are Helena Ficora  . These are a super cute alternative from Nordstrom! I have a charm for the initials of my kiddos!

Wayf Lace Midi Dress. Need a last minute Easter dress? This gorgeous dress is perfect! Lace, ruffles, and a pretty  spring color- also, under $100!

Chelsea28 Tiered Lace Midi Skirt. Going along with my girl, lace, ruffle trend- this skirt is GORGEOUS! It looks way more expensive than $99!
