SPLURGE: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

SAVE:  1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 (ALSO THIS ONE ON SALE UNDER $150) | 7

I could spend years picking out furniture and still feel like I don’t have enough time! Since I’m such a visual person, it’s hard for me to envision how pieces will work together in a space. So after looking at what seems like a million coffee tables online, I wanted to share a few of my favorite pairs for another splurge and save post! We went with #3 and we love it! It’s really large so it fills the space really nicely and I love the texture – so pretty! It also comes in 3 colors. A close second was #6 – again I love the natural woven texture and the save option is so beautiful too! It’s not a huge price difference but the free shipping definitely makes a dent. Also love this similar option on sale for under $150! Below are a few more options I love:

So obsessed with the ruffles on this dress 😍

If any of you missed my stories, Beckam is addicted to wearing his suit non-stop again! After he grew out of his last suit, he kind of let it go for a minute but now that he has one that fits him, it’s all he wants to wear! Literally wants to wear it to school every single day. And as much as he loves wearing a suit, as a mom I think I love it even more! (Aside from the fact that he looks like he’s 10 😭)

BECKAM: SUIT | BUTTON UP | SNEAKERS

Lavender and lilac are huge colors this year, but as much as I love pastels I’ve been a little hard-pressed to find any piece that really sold me on the color trend until this dress! I was looking for something springy for Easter and when I stumbled on this showstopper. I am a sucker for ruffled sleeves and obsessed with pretty back cut-outs, but rarely do you find both combined so perfectly in one dress! Now I’m seeing lavender dresses everywhere and need them all. I love this maxi option which also has a great back cut-out (great for a wedding or dressier occasions this spring/summer!) or this option for simpler silhouette. This is the dress (under $100) I got last Easter which comes in multiple colors, including a pretty lavender and a lilac shade.. It really is such a beautiful color and perfect for spring!

Below are a few more lavender pieces that have me on-board! What do you guys think of the color – have you tried it out yet?

I’m so excited to give you guys a BABY PEEK at my closet. We are still waiting on some details, so I’m probably a couple months from the full reveal but whenever my home office or house is disorganized, it’s impossible for me to focus or be productive. Now that we are in our new house, I’m trying to start off on the right foot and make sure we have a place for everything so it’s easier to keep tidy! My closet which is probably the hardest for me to keep organized, so I had an organizing service help me so I could make it the most functional. I wanted to share a few tips to start your closet spring cleaning off right!

DETAILS : DRAWER DIVIDERS (ON SALE 25% OFF – ALSO LOVE THIS LINEN DIVIDER SET)

1. Drawer Dividers: You know you are an adult when The Container Store is one of your favorite places to shop 😂but having the right organizers makes such a huge difference! You Marie Kondo fans have noticed she uses drawer dividers (also love these) and now that I’ve started using them there’s no going back. You can use any boxes you have around the house, but the uniform look feels so much more finished and it helps me what to keep my drawers organized. Same goes for these shelf dividers – life-changing!

2. Folding Tricks: Another trick I learned is to fold all your clothes and stack them all next to each other instead of on top of each other. You’ll be able to see everything in one glance, so you don’t have to go digging at the bottom of any stacks and destroying your piles in the process. It also helps you maximize your drawer space so you are using every corner more efficiently. (I’ve always struggled with pants but actually LOVE how they look folded up this way in the dresser!)

3. Label It: Can I tell you how excited I was to get a label maker!! I opt for over-labeling. I like having it clear so I can’t forget and I just love the way they look! Anyone else?? I labeled all my drawers, the subsections of my drawers, and the storage bins on my top shelves. I knew it would help me be better about putting clothes away right where they go. And for bins that show that you need a bigger label for – these gold label holders are so cute! I used them in our laundry room and love them!

DETAILS: STORAGE BINS (ON SALE 25% OFF)

4. Think Vertically: Making the most of vertical space isn’t limited to drawers – take advantage of every shelf by storing some of your less-frequently used items in bins or organizers towards the type of your closet (these are the ones I used). Storage bins (25% off) can absolutely transform a closet and make it look really high-end (love these and these are 25% off). The bins are also an easy way to store some of the pieces that aren’t as pretty when displayed. I put the less frequently used items up high depending on the season. Then I also have some of these pretty boxes on lower shelves for belts and more day to day items that are easy to access without using a step ladder. (Also, using the same colored hanger makes everything look more unified!)

DETAILS: STORAGE BINS (ON SALE 25% OFF)

5. Keep Your Go-Tos Within Reach: To my earlier point, you want to keep that pieces that are in constant rotation somewhere convenient since you’ll reach for them so often. Keep your belts and day-to-day accessories in bins on lower shelves that are easily accessible and store some of your seasonal pieces like mittens and gloves in bins that you can stick on a high shelf until you need them.

DETAILS: PURSE FILLERS | PURSE STAND ( ACTUALLY A PLATE STAND 😉

6. Displaying > Decorating: If you’re anything like me, shoes and bags are some of the most beautiful things you own, so why not display them!? I am obsessed with these purse stands (this was actually a tip from the organizers that came in – use plate or book stands) that help keep your handbags from falling down and make it easier to display them, and having them all out in eyesight means they all get more use instead. (Has anyone else found a bag they loved buried and forgotten in their closet? I mean it’s a bit like Christmas, so not all bad, haha but I think it’s even better to have all of your bag options out in plain sight.) Also, I never used to stuff my bags and when we moved I noticed a lot of them were losing shape and kind of flimsy. I realized it’s 100% worth getting the bag stuffers to help them keep their shape and value. I love these.

7. Keep your favorite boxes: Everybody has that special pair of shoes or bag that you are most proud of that comes in a box that still gets you excited every time you look at it – add some of that magic to your closet and display those pretty boxes as decoration! It also doubles as storage for those seasonal items you don’t need to access as often.

DETAILS: LINEN JEWELRY TRAY (ON SALE 25% OFF) | JEWELRY STORAGE KIT (ON SALE 25% OFF)

8. Display Jewelry: I love how chic and simple these accent organizers are! My closet is still a work in progress so I haven’t laid out all my jewelry yet, but I love how it’s coming together and they are on sale right now so I wanted to share ASAP.

9. Shoe Shapers: Boots are typically some of the higher-ticketed items in our closet. they last for seasons, so help keep them in shape and aging better with shapers! They also help keep it more unified for looks too. 😉

10. Purge! This is my biggest tip before you start organizing. take everything out, and as you decide what to keep ask yourself: Am I excited to wear this? Have I worn it in the last 12 months? Does it make me happy? If there is any hesitation with any of those three questions just LET IT GO! It’s easier to maintain a space with less clutter and things you are excited to wear and use!

The Container Store has up to 25% off closet essentials right now so it’s the perfect way to kick off tackling your own closet if you need that extra incentive haha.

Below are a few more products I am obsessed with:

I would love to hear if you have any other tips you use for getting organized!

Obsessed with these pants! I have them in a couple colors they are my go to all time favorites!! The seamless ankle makes them really comfortable. 

DETAILS: WHITE MESH TANK (COMES IN 5 COLORS) | WHITE SPORTS BRA | SAGE LEGGINGS (ALSO GOT THESE IN BLACK)

Now that I finally have some more energy, I’ve been a lot better about regular exercise. I’m the type that’s overly cautious and I’ve researched what kind of exercise is ok during pregnancy and what to stay away from, so running has become one of my go to pregnancy workouts. Now my version of running while pregnant is probably about half the speed of normal runners 😉 and honestly I don’t love love running unless I’m around a pretty scenic something to make it more enjoyable!

I just got some new Lululemon pieces from their running collection. You guys know how much I love my Fast and Frees – I wear the black ones a minimum of 3 times a week, for errands, working out, whatever. They have side pockets for your phone which I love and a seamless ankle which makes them really comfortable. I seriously swear by these pants!!  I was excited to get them in another color (these are grey sage – so pretty!) Also got this cropped version here which comes in 10 colors. A few other things I added: this mesh tank (comes in 5 colors and I might need them all!) and this sports bra (insanely comfortable – so supportive! I have it in another color and loved the white!)

There are so many benefits of running so I wanted to share 10 reasons to run!

1. Cardio: Running is obviously one of the best forms of cardio – it burns calories, strengthens your core, and seriously helps your heart health.
2. The Runner’s High: Running releases dopamine, the chemical that’s known as the ‘feel good hormone’, so it really can make you happy.
3. Alone time: Honestly, even if you are running with a friend, running is always a time to clear your head and gives you time to think through and process things that may have been on the back-burner for a while.
4. Friend time: And of course on the flip side, if you prefer working out with a friend, your runs will be a great way to spend time together that you might not be able to fit in elsewhere during the day.
5. Something to be proud of: There’s nothing more rewarding than the feeling of pushing yourself and eventually reaching your goals, whether that’s pushing yourself to go farther, faster, or just being consistent in your runs.
6. Fresh air: Running outdoors can be an experience in and of itself, whether you like the thrill of running through a busy city or the peace of a quiet trail run. lululemon actually has a global running club (the Strava App) that lets you find local run routes if you’re not sure where to start (also priceless when you are traveling and not familiar with the area!). It also lets you connect with other runners and helps you track your progress – such a great tool!
7. Helps flush your emotions: You guys have heard me talk about my foot zoner, and one really interesting thing she told me was how important exercise is for our emotional health. Getting your blood pumping for 30 minutes a day will help you flush out all kinds of emotions that your body has already processed and doesn’t want to hold on to anymore. 
8. Easier, Faster Labors: Throwing this one in for those fellow pregnant mamas, but exercising during pregnancy makes a huge impact on your deliveries and postpartum! (Note to add, if you’re not much of a runner before you get pregnant, you might want to build strength in other ways. 🙂

Happy Monday guys! We got back from Spring Break and it’s so sunny and springy here. FINALLY!  I wanted to share a quick round up of some of my favorite Spring outfits from over the years. Which one is your fave?

XX,

Christine

DETAILS: GREY BODYSUIT (UNDER $25) | SHIRT JACKET (UNDER $100 – ALSO LOVE THIS KHAKI OPTION) | CROPPED WIDE-LEG TROUSERS (UNDER $100) | WOVEN SLIDES (MORE SIZES HERE) | STRAW SUN HAT (UNDER $50) | NECKLACES | SILVER SUITCASES | NUDE TOTE

I don’t know if it’s my current obsession with tans and beiges or just my excitement over this new outfit, but it takes something special to oust my go-to airport sportswear style, and this look did it! Nine times out of ten you will find me in my favorite leggings, oversized sweatshirt, and sneakers when I’m traveling, but this is one of my favorite travel outfits to date. These trousers are a super lightweight material, plus with the wide leg silhouette they are just as comfortable as my typical travel uniform. I always layer-up for the plane, so I was excited to find this jacket that matched perfectly. Both pieces are under $100 and transition perfectly from the plane to going out to dinner or jumping right into your vacation. Also you guys helped me decide on this straw hat and it’s such a great staple (and must for spring/summer travel!) – and a great price point under $50. These slides are another one of my favorite recent buys for this spring and summer and under $150. Love the texture!

Below are a few more travel style pieces that will transition seamlessly into your vacation looks:
