Summer Bling with Kendra Scott

This week I’m thrilled to share our Blogger Nation series is featuring Kendra Scott’s stunning new summer jewelry collection, which was inspired by the iconic seaside of the French Riviera. You can check out the full lookbook here, but expect to find both classic and some fun and unique styles, all incorporating both natural elements that are signature of the brand, and also some nautical touches. I fell in love with this long silver necklace that has a spike pendant with pave crystals encrusted along one side, making it both sweet and a little bit edgy. I am also wearing the crushed black pearl earrings that look so beautiful when they reflect the light. Kendra Scott is offering free shipping until May 8th, so it is the perfect time to shop! Mother’s day is around the corner after all…

In other news – I have been so grateful for this amazing heat wave, so much so that Tom actually had to tell me to stop commenting on the weather because I’ve become so giddy over it. But we’ve been taking advantage of it by spending every moment possible outside. Our puppy Briggs is getting more walks around the block – which is something I felt guilty about all winter long – Adam and I are taking a daily trip to the park where I’m teaching him how to swing on his own, and I’ve even started doing yoga in the backyard, something I’ve always wanted to do but never got around to. Its amazing what a little Vitamin D can do!

Thanks for visiting as always x

Last week we took a quick trip to escape the snow for some sunshine in Key Largo, Florida☀️ We spent every moment possible outside, Tom and Adam got their Scuba Diver PADI certification (yay!) while Sophia and I spent our days either swimming or drawing marine life and landscapes. This was my first trip after my sister passed last November, and even though I look so happy here, there were so many moments I felt the grief and sadness, as if it happened just yesterday. I am still figuring out how I want to show up in this space, as I have changed so much as a person since the loss. I just don’t feel called to post some of the things I shared before. Maybe that will change someday, or maybe it will just naturally evolve into something new. I think I will take this year to just process it all. (Even the idea of taking an entire year to think through something is a huge shift for my usually hyperactive type A personality) My focus at the moment is just living in the moment with my family and friends, spending time doing things that make me happy and healthy. I hope to share some of that journey here with you ~ thanks for following along ❤️
I had planned to shoot this outfit in collaboration with @lenacoutureofficial right before my dear sister passed away. Saba, the designer, was more than understanding if I didn’t want to anymore - but after thinking on it for a while I decided I wanted to - in my sister’s honor 💗 She was always my biggest hype woman. When i would feel like I’m not good enough or that I should quit (which was often) she would tell me I was unique and great and to keep it up. When I think of my sister, beauty and love is all that she embodied in her being. She expressed that on the outside also - as she loved to wear everything glam, bright & colorful, and full of bling. Hair done, nails done, everything did - that was Nusrat. For this shoot I took the time to get glam after a long hiatus - and makeup and hair took so long because I think I forgot how to do it, but afterwards I was surprised how I felt transformed. When I wore this gorgeous outfit that I know was designed with such love and incredible attention to detail by @lenacoutureofficial, I felt all of that beauty - like a walking piece of art, and very much at peace. Thank you so much to @divmophoto for capturing the feeling so well 💕
Ski weekend with my favorites ❄️❄️ So proud of Sophia for skiing on her own for the first time!
There are some trees with seeds that only grow after a fire. Their seeds are completely sealed with a resin that have to be physically melted off by a great fire in order to propagate. So to do we as humans, gain wisdom only after great pain and suffering.*
A month ago (and one day) I lost my sister and best friend to cancer. I am still completely gutted and broken. But, I’m also so so grateful to have had felt the love that now brings me so much heartbreak. ❤️ I am so inspired by her - and I will forever live my life to honor her memory. Miss you sis ❤️

Cozy for a coffee date ☕️
French. Toast. Egg. Bake. Save this recipe for a weekend or holiday brunch - it’s SO good and fool-proof! I’m not even a sweet person and I love it. The pecans are a non-negotiable IMO - I get honey bourbon vanilla pecans for this and it is just heavenly. Enjoy!
