Elevate Your Summer Wardrobe with Thacker NYC

Summer is finally here and we are taking full advantage by being outside as much as we possibly can. Dressing for summer isn’t always easy though, especially if you really want to look pulled together. For me, warm weather calls for light airy fabrics like linen, easy cropped pants and flowy tanks. I’m teaming up with Thacker NYC today to show you two ways to really elevate your summer style.

  1. Swap your denim for some Tencel. Besides being eco-friendly and sustainable, the fabric is also moisture wicking and breathable. I also love the look of copper tones on sun kissed skin – and these copper colored cropped pants have a flat front and elastic back waist so they are easy pull ons but they still have that slim tailored look. You can dress them up with a silk cami and strappy heels, or style them casual like I have here with a linen striped tank and flat sandals.

2.  Get yourself a summer suit for work or play. This one  is everything – I especially love vertical stripes because they really flatter every body shape. My one pet peeve about linen is that it can wrinkle up the moment you put it on, but these are made of a cotton linen blend that stays perfect all day. To create more outfits, each piece of the suit can be worn separately – I’d pair the jacket with a distressed denim skirt and sneakers, and the culottes with a silky cami and slide sandals.

About the brand – Thacker Designer and founder Toni Hacker worked in the fashion industry for years before realizing there was a real need for women to have a wardrobe collection that could easily be mixed and matched, or as they put it ‘that you can throw into a suitcase and have endless wardrobe options at your fingertips’. The pieces are high quality, beautiful, and designed with a timeless style. As a busy mom, I can appreciate anything that will simplify my life.

Also I recommend checking out their Wardrobe Kits – if you are in need of a wardrobe refresh but aren’t sure where to start, you can purchase a curated collection whether it is a travel collection, a starter wardrobe, or even a full wardrobe with clothing and accessories!

Happy shopping! Thanks for visiting as always xx

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 ❤️

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!
