The $20 Jumpsuit

I'm an advocate for mixing high and low pieces.  I've been trying focus on buying more quality pieces  for my wardrobe this fall but these low price point stores keep calling me!  And then my girl Danielle from The Style and Beauty Doctor posted this $20 jumpsuit.  I straight swagger-jacked her and ran out an purchased this jumpsuit IMMEDIATELY! Seriously, on my lunch break! 

Mamanista Fridays: Animal Prints

Happy Mamanista Fridays!  I've decided I need to get a clone.  This week flew by and I had tons of stuff to do but only managed to get to about 20% of it.  I guess it happens to the best of us.  This post almost didn't happen either but I got my self together.  This weeks Mamanista Friday, Mama Fashion Files and I are wearing animal prints.  I'm so glad animal print is still going strong.

Shoe Shopping Spree with Shoe Carnival

The summer has flown by and August is almost here. You know what that means? It’s time for kids to head back to school. Peyton will be starting pre-k in August and I can’t believe I will have a school age child on my hands. All she talks about is going to pre-k and doing everything by herself, like getting dressed for school. Even though I may shed a tear on the first day of school, I get excited about back to school shopping. Peyton and I headed to Shoe Carnival this weekend to pick up some new kicks for school.

All White Before Memorial Day

I used to stick by the rule, you can't wear white until after Labor Day.  For the last few years, I've been sneaking in a little white here and there.  I was getting my Olivia Pope on when I wore an all white pant suit to a party for Mom 2.0 last week.  Speaking of Olivia Pope, did you know Kerri Washington had her baby 2 weeks ago?  Straight B6-13 style.

What I wore to #LuckyFabb

If you follow me on Instagram, you would've gotten a sneak peek at what I wore to LuckyFabb in LA.  Dressing for a conference can be a little stressful, especially a fashion conference.  Instead of trying to do something crazy and out of the norm, I decided to wear something that would be comfortable and flattering with some super cute shoes.

Dazzling Diva

It's starting to feel a little like Spring!  At least this weekend it did.  Too bad the morning started off pretty chilly.  The Mamanista Friday theme was jeans jackets, so I was inspired for Peyton to wear one of hers this weekend.  Jean jackets are not just for us ladies, they are essential to both little boys and girls wardrobe.  Peyton recently received this fabulous jean jacket from Dazzling Diva's Classy Boutique.

Happy Friday!  I have so much that I want to share with you from this years Blogalicious experience.  Since I'm still trying to catch up with life I will share with you what I wore to the Blogalicious conference in Atlanta last week.  I kept my looks very simple and easy.

A Trend We All Can Wear: Black & White

Happy Friday!  I have a crazy, busy weekend ahead (that's a whole other post).  If you haven't noticed, I'm super excited for fall.  I love every fall trend because they are pretty simple and don't require you to shell out tons of cash.  But if you're like me, you are probably going to shop anyway.  Recent trends were all about color and patterns but this fall Black is Back!  I love wearing black but felt like I couldn't because the fashion world was screaming "Add some color!".  Check out some fabulous items on my wish list.

Prada T-Strap pumps

Baby Frye

We all know and love Frye boots for there amazing quality and style.  My ovaries about did a back-flip when I saw these super cute Baby Frye boots!

Confessions of a Shopaholic: Closet Clean-out

I hope you guys are having a great Labor Day Weekend!  Since we had a long weekend I thought it would be a good idea to clean out my closet.  I didn't even get started and was already overwhelmed!  I'm pretty good at purging with each season but now I feel there is just too much and will not get done in one weekend.  I don't even want to bring anything new in until it is clean.

I will be getting rid of a ton of stuff.  I posted this picture on instagram and someone suggested that I use Poshmark to get rid of some stuff.  If you wear between 7 to size 8 in shoes you may be in luck.  I will be posting clothes soon.  Please follow me, babyshopa, on Poshmark to keep up with my closet clean-out.  Do you use Poshmark?  Leave your Poshmark name in the comments so I can follow you.  Please share your closet cleaning tips!

Little Buckets by Bucketfeet

Remember me telling you about how much I loved my Bucketfeet shoes that I received in a gift bag (HERE)?  I pretty much still wear them daily.  To the point that everyone around me says... "You must really love those shoes".  I do!  What could be better than me having a pair of Bucketfeet shoes?.... Peyton having a pair!  Bucketfeet just launched a kids collection last week!

Lounging with MVL

My school teacher bun has been in full effect this past week! I rocked my bun and loungy-esq outfit to my friend Katrice from My Vicarious Life event that took place at the beautiful Quest Women Spa + Fitness center in Alpharetta, GA.  Quest Spa is gorgeous and down the street from my house!
