Jeans and Vintage Tee

First off, have you entered to win the Nuroo baby nursing cover and pocket tee yet? If you are a new mom or looking to find a gift for a new mom – you need this! Check out details here.

One of the first things on my to-do list post baby was to change my hair. Not since high school have I worn my hair short – back then I went full on 90’s pixie cut – but the growing out process was so painfully long and included resorting to styling in lots of pony tails and endless bobby pins that I decided never to go through that again. The long bob style was perfect for me, just short enough to feel like a change, but also long enough to throw up in a bun when necessary. It is just touching the shoulders in back and slightly longer in front. (Pretty much the definition of a mom haircut haha #momhairdon’tcare)

On to the look – transitioning back to my old clothes has been a bit of a challenge, but one go to of mine has been the classic jeans and a tee look. To be real, this tee was a little pricey for me, but since I don’t shop nearly as often as I used to, after I’ve made the decision to avoid shopping fast fashion – I am able to spend more on stuff I really love. (You could also just get an actual vintage tee from a thrift store and probably look even cooler than I do, then go be smart and invest that money or something – that’s totally up to you!) A fitted jacket, slightly longer vintage tee, and distressed denim is one of those outfits that looks good on every body shape, especially great for anyone transitioning back from pregnancy, or in the process of losing weight.

Now back to baby duty – have a great week and thanks for stopping by!

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!
