pastels and a puppy

16 Comments

As most of y’all know, Brian and I recently added a new ball of fluffy cuteness to our family named Addison! We’ve been looking for quit some time but could never agree on a breed but when we saw her sweet face we both just knew she was meant for us. Addison is a full golden retriever and seriously the softest little thing ever. I knew she wasn’t going to stay tiny forever so I immediately started snapping as many pictures as I could…like seriously when I’m a mom to a human baby I’m going to be THAT mom that has a million photos in just a week.

The seasons change not only brought us miss Addi but warmer spring days. Pastels and picnic prints were my jam for this shoot, yes I’m still covered up but covered I’m covered in pastels. The weather is still a little hit and miss here in my area so I’m sticking to lightweight pieces and layers that I can easier take off. These baby blue loafers will, I repeat will be in rotation through spring and summer. I cannot wait to have a little tan my legs to really make the color pop.

Addison doesn’t hardly leave my side and it seriously breaks my heart to leave her so I hope y’all don’t get annoyed with seeing her with me because she’s become my new partner in crime so she’ll being making cameos on the blog and Insta!

blue coat

When I look at this coat I instantly think of summer. What an oxymoron right, a coat making me think of summer? It’s the aqua blue color that has my head swimming. I love the slightly oversized menswear feel to it but still having that little feminine touch to it. The cropped sleeve is perfect for transitioning into those days when it’s cool in the morning but by lunch time it feels like summer. The length is perfect and hits at just that right place for wearing with pants or a dress. The perfect transitional piece! The only thing that could make this coat any more perfect would be to add a bow in the back!

Now for some real talk that I wish I didn’t have to bring up but… after lusting after this coat for so long, I dare to say that it was incredibly hard to photograph. I think it’s due to the fact that yours truly is so petite and even though it’s an extra small it kind of dominates me. The fit got the best of me. I love it but I’m banning it from future blog appearances until further notice. It’s always hard for my mind to grasp the concept of it looks better in person. Like what? No. I guess I need to grow a few inches taller because I can’t bare to part with it.

Anyone share my pain in not being able to photograph some of your favorite pieces? For me, stripes can be a little tricky.

Have a happy weekend! 🙂

Happy Friday! I figured since it was Friday I’d post an easy read and this case it’s basically just a picture book which let’s be honest sometimes it’s all you really want. This is the first Instagram round up I’ve done! I’ve picked just a few of my favorite IG posts from the past few months! I’m ready to kiss goodbye to summer and welcome fall in with a great big hug and a pumpkin spice latte! Who’s with me?!
