Summer Accessories with Victoria Emerson

Collages
Can you believe the record heat here in Austin? I’m hiding in the AC right now, in awe that summer weather is already here (and probably here to stay). I wasn’t ready! But since I can’t do much about it, I’ll just embrace it by breaking out the bright summer colors, getting ample time at the pool, and making sure to do my walking in the morning. How do you combat the heat? I can’t believe we are moving...

Hello summer afternoons

Motherhood
Pardon my silence over here friends! I’ve enjoyed a week off from blogging. I put myself under enormous pressure to get regular posts up each week but in the past 8 days, I haven’t felt compelled to share stories or take pictures so I’ve just closed my laptop and taken a break. And it’s been really great! Last week was not my favorite. I waisted a ton of time scrolling social media, felt cooped up in our house, and...

Lessons I’ve Learned through Motherhood

Motherhood
Mother’s Day is almost here and I’ve been reflecting on the past 7 months with Charlie. It’s been a surreal blur. It seems like yesterday I was wondering how I’d survive one more night without sleep and now I want to hold to every second longer. I look back at pictures of him as a brand new infant and he couldn’t look more different now. Full cheeks. Longer hair. Bright, bright, attentive blue eyes. And so much personality. I...

The Ultimate Beach Reading List

READING LIST
  Who has summer on their mind? Happy Friday Friends! We’ll be at the pool this weekend and I can’t help but get excited for our beach vacation next month. There’s just something about being away and on the ocean that gives me a whole new sense of calm. I love it. One of my favorite things to do on vacation is read! If you have a vacation coming up and are in need of some page turners, I’ve...

The Power of Positive Talk

OUTFITS•PERSONAL
Outfit details: | Overalls: Madewell (size up) | T-shirt: Madewell | Bandana: Madewell |  Shoes: Allbirds *** I have been thinking about the power of positive talk a lot lately. A few weeks ago I casually said to Eric that I’d never be as good or as successful as a friend of mine without really thinking too hard about it. It felt matter of fact. Eric looked at me and sighed, “That’s the saddest thing you’ve said in a long time”…

Outfit details: | Jumpsuit: Leith | Necklace: Etsy | Bag: Kelly Wynne | Heels: B.P (currently under $40) | Bangle: Kate Spade *** Hi Friends! How was your weekend?

My Favorite Products for a Simple Beauty Regimen

MAKEUP
I haven’t really shared many beauty posts here and that’s because my beauty routine hasn’t changed much over the years. In fact, you’re going to see some products that have clearly been used quite a bit and are almost out! I am amazed when I see girls with giant beauty bags. How do they learn so many techniques? Since becoming a blogger, I’ve picked up a few tricks, but have found that I’ve stuck in my comfort zone when...

6 Products for 6 Months

BABY
CHARLIE IS A LITTLE PERSON! Suddenly, he has so much personality and I can’t get enough of it. He’s already eager for our attention… I know “Look, Mom!” is going to be a phrase I hear a lot soon ;)  He started bouncing consistently in that jumparoo like the little ball full of energy that he is, and it’s hilarious to see him go. Every once in a while he’ll stop and see if we’re watching and if we...
