.Date Night Romper.

If you have a date night coming up, you need this little number in your life!! This romper is basically screaming to be taken out for a night on the town! It's the perfect balance of girly, sassy, and a little bit sexy. I have to admit, sexy is not a word I find myself ever using when referring to my wardrobe! As a newish mom, I am still trying to find myself when it comes to my style on some days. It's all about balance. Most days I run around town in summer dresses or distressed denim, but then there's those special nights that you deserve to dress up and feel sassy!

.Light Blue Ruffle Blouse.

Blouse, c/o Shein  // Jeans, Nordstrom {sold out, almost exact & only $37!!} // Booties, c/o Miss Match {obsessed with these!!} // Sunnies, Karen Walker // Bracelet, J.Crew 

Would you believe me if  I told you this blouse was only $14?! I could hardly believe it myself! This beauty looks and feels very high end. The giant ruffle & off the shoulder style has me swooning. This blouse has to be the deal of the summer! At this price, I wish it came in more colors! I'd buy every single one :) 

**I'm wearing a small in the blouse**

As promised, I have been keeping a very close eye on these pants to see if they get restocked. They were available in a 29 today for like 5 minutes? Way to tease a girl, Nordstrom! I did find you an almost identical pair at the same price point ($37) by the same brand, here! They're still available in a couple sizes as of now.

Shirt, c/o Crunchy Cuts // Shorts, Target // Moccs, c/o Angel Baby Moccs // Headband, c/o Rain & Honey Bows

I really should have titled this post "Twinning is my Jam!". But really, can you blame me for always wanting to twin when companies like Crunchy Cuts make such cute shirts!! From the moment I spotted these on Etsy, I knew Kennedy & I had to have them. I'm a sucker for a fun graphic tee and these have to be my all time favorites.

Being a mom is not the easiest job, but this little sunshine has made it such a rewarding one. Last night I was sitting on the floor in her room playing and I started to tear up. It was such a simple night,I could hear Family Feud on in the living room, Tyler was doing laundry, dinner was in the oven, and Kennedy and I were playing peek a boo and with her stuffed animals in her room. But it dawned one me, one day I'm going to look back and yearn for nights like this. There's going to come a time, when she a teenager, that she would much rather hang out with her friends. I'm going to miss her tugging at my leg while I try to get chores done, I'm going to miss her running to me to give a big juicy open mouth kiss, I'm going to miss her waking up in the middle of the night just to snuggle real close, I'm going to miss her wanting me there for everything she does. These are the moments that I never want to forget. These are the moments that I think to myself "Mommin' is My Jam".

P.S. If you also love a fun graphic tee, this Mommy & Me set about coffee is amazing! I personally wouldn't be able to mom without coffee. My morning cup or two gives me life!!

.Everday Chambray.

Blouse, c/o How Gorgeous // Jeans, Old Navy // Flats, Target // Sunnies, Karen Walker // Necklace, Kendra Scott & Kate Spade // Purse, Tory Burch {Way cheaper similar version here!!}

This outfit is my idea of the perfect everyday uniform! If only the temps would drop a little, so I could wear pants without sweating to death!! Oh well, only about 3-4 more months of this heat ;)

Have you ever laid eyes on a more adorable chambray top?! The fun ruffle sleeves are what sold me! It's also super lightweight, so I can get away with wearing it during the summer. It will be great for fall and winter too! Can't you just picture it paired with black skinnies and a pair of boots or booties?! I know this top is going to be a favorite for many seasons to come! 

** Sizing Info- Do not size up for this top! It runs on the larger side. I'm wearing a small.**

The blouse is from one of my all time favorite boutiques that I found through Instagram, How Gorgeous. Remember this fun off the shoulder tassel dress I styled from them back in Spring? The owner, Amy, is an absolute doll and stocks her site with the cutest pieces!! If you're also digging all things off the shoulder then you will be in heaven. I mean, how cute is this blouse?! If you want to keep up to date with all her new arrivals and sales, you can follow her on Instagram {here}.

On a side note, I really can't believe how fast everything from the Nordstrom sale is selling out!! I had a couple things in my cart Friday and took some time to think them over (because I was trying to be good!) and they freaken sold out, insert crying emoji!! I guess God decided that I didn't need them anyways :) I was able to snag another one of these tee shirts because they are SO comfortable and you can't beat the $15 price tag! 

Two other items that I am keeping a really close eye on to see if they restock are these flats in leopard and this tote in tan!! The scallop detail on the flats is right up my alley. If they don't get restocked in leopard, I think I might snag them in the 'Gold Snake' color. Sounds intense, haha, but the snake print looks subtle and it would be really pretty around the holidays! It's also not a bold gold, so it would pair with a lot since it is more on the neutral side!  They would actually look perfect with the outfit I'm wearing in this post! 

Also, that tote would be a great alternative for a diaper bag! Now that Kennedy's getting older, I don't always need our big bag. It would be nice to just throw a couple things in this tote along my essentials! It's even a great price after the sale if they don't restock it in time.

Oh hey, hey friends!! Hope you're having the best week so far. Thursday's or Friday Eve as we like to call it, are on our favorites around here. It's technically my Friday since I only work part time, Big Brother is on {holla, team Paulie!}, and you can practically see the weekend from here. 

We have a busy weekend planned and are throwing around the idea of heading down to Comic Con on Saturday. We have never been, but I have always wanted to go and people watch. I'm pretty sure it would be the most epic people watching of all time. I just don't know if we are brave enough to bare the crowds. I guess we will have to see how brave we are come Saturday. If we do go, you can be sure that I will be snapping away and filling up your feed. If we aren't friends, come find me at @kotineru :) 

Now on to the my favorite dress that I've ever owned....Hot pink, cold shoulder, and tassels. Can you guys think of a better combo? No, the answer is NO! This dress is the cutest dress that ever was! Seriously, it's all my current favorites wrapped into one perfect dress. It makes me want to have a mini dance party every time I put it on. 

I'm SO sad that this dress sold out so quickly after I got it! I had a feeling that would happen though because it is so darn cute. Luckily, A Cut Above Boutique has a ton of other cute dress options for you. I seriously die over this pineapple dress and it's been on my wishlist for weeks! It's such a fun piece for summer! I also LOVE this cute bow dress . Blush pink and a giant bow? Count me in! Also, this cactus romper!! Basically I could link up the whole boutique because it's all adorable! Instead you can always follow them on Instagram {here} to stay up to do on their new arrivals and sales. 

On last one for all you mamas.....how darling is this tee shirt?! Alllll the heart eyes for this cutie!!

** Tomorrow is an exciting day for you Nordstrom lovers that don't have a CC/Debit card with them, the sale opens up to the public!! Since I did have the chance to shop the sale in person and try a lot of pieces on, I'm going to be rounding up my favorites! I'm also going to be trying to keep the price point very low, around $50 with a few exceptions! Because let's be honest, money doesn't grow on trees and we all have a shopping budget!! So don't forget to check back!**

.What I'm Loving Wednesday, Flats & Florals.

{I scored these exact flats in our local Target for $11! They are on sale online for $19. Still a great price. They're SO comfortable! I'm personally a sucker for the stripes, but they also come in a couple solid colors.}


Happy Wednesday, Loves!! I thought it would be fun to do a little addition of "What I'm Loving Wednesday" today. Lately, I have been crushing hard on all things floral and fun flats! These aren't new love affairs, but they do seem to be all I have on my mind right now! I think it has to do a lot with this dress from Pink Blush that I just got. I shot it this past Friday with Erin Christine and I'll be sharing those shortly with all the details. I thought I'd link it now for you, just in case it sells out! 

I don't know if it's the time of year or what's going on, but my mom and I were shopping the other day and couldn't get over how many cute clothes we were finding! Seriously, every store we went in, we were loving everything. I loved it, my wallet no so much :)

I was noticing a trend, I was picking up anything and everything floral. Like I said, this isn't a new obsession, but it does seem to be on another level! 

Another item I can't seem to stop obsessing over, is flats! This lace up flats trend, possibly my favorite style...ever! I live in flats, whether it be ballet or sandals. It's just more practical for me these days since I'm chasing around a crazy toddler :) Even if I wasn't running around with Miss Kennedy, I'd still be wearing mostly flats.

Below I rounded up my favorite dresses and flats. Most of them are currently on sale or under $50 with the exception of a couple that I couldn't help but share.

I'd love to know what items you're crushing on lately. Leave me a comment here, Instagram or Snap!

Happy Shopping!!  

.Polka Dot Skirt.

The feminine feel of this skirt is making all my girly girl dreams come true! The giant polka dots are an added bonus. I love the fact that this skirt would look perfect with any blouse that I pair with it.

This skirt is such a statement piece on it's own that I love pairing it with simple tee for a fun look. I actually can't wait to pair it with this pocket tee {only $15} that I picked up from the Nsale this past weekend! A full skirt, cute tee, and a fun statement necklace are totally my jam!! 

Tara Lynn's Boutique also makes this skirt in a striped version that I'm swooning over! Both skirts are great for summer all the way into winter, depending on how you style them. Picture this skirt with a long sleeve red blouse and lots of sparkle!! Eek, gets me excited for the holidays just thinking about it!

 I've said it before on here, but I love to invest in versatile pieces like these! You get way more bang for your buck ;)
