Short Shorts for Little Boys

1 // 2 // 3 // 4 // 5

Trust me when I say I have searched far and wide for the best “short shorts” for Henning. I don’t want to worry about having to get them hemmed after purchasing and the majority out there are too long on his little legs. Minnow, Cadet’s, H&M Kids, and these gingham ones from Etsy are my top picks for little boys’ shorts {and swimsuits!} They all hit right above Henning’s knee and fit him perfectly <3 They come in lots of color ways, and Minnow, Cadets and H&M Kids also offer the perfect sized swim trunks! Shop my fav picks below.

Miami-Inspired Looks

I just got back from a girls trip to Miami and had the best time. I got to sleep in, lay out by the pool and relax with some of my best girl friends. It was so much fun, and just what the doctor ordered after 10+ weeks of life with a newborn 🙂

With that being said, fashion in Miami is so fun and playful, and I feel like I can pull out pieces I wouldn’t typically wear while there. When I think ‘Miami’ I think of all things bright, colorful, and spunky. In honor of my trip, I pulled together some fun pieces that would be perfect for any Miami-esque vacay {or for summer in general?!}. I figured many of you guys have upcoming summer travel plans and are looking for some new pieces to spruce up your closet. What’s better than buying new clothes for vacation?! Anyway, hope you guys draw a little inspo from this collage! Let me know any fun destinations you’ll be hitting this summer. xx Bridget

Grad Gift Ideas 2022

1 // 2 // 3 // 4 // 5 // 6 // 7 // 8 // 9 // 10 // 11 // 12 // 13 // 14 // 15 // 16

Graduation season is quickly approaching and I wanted to put together some gift ideas I think any graduate would love to receive {I know I would love any of them too!} I put together a blog post last year with grad gift ideas {blog post here} but wanted to do a refresh this year. I always think about fun or useful pieces to furnish the graduate’s new place, a travel-related item as many go on vacation to celebrate, or a special piece of jewelry they can hold on to for the years to come. I love all things lucite so these coasters would be the cutest accompaniment to a coffee table as well as these coffee table books that pack such a colorful punch. Another favorite of mine has to be the infamous Estelle wine glasses that come in so many colors – I just love the blue, no surprise here! I also love this monogrammed Weezie robe which always makes a great gift, no matter the occasion. Be sure to let me know your favorite grad gifts in the comments below! x

Mother’s Day Gift Ideas 2022

1 // 2 // 3 // 4 // 5 // 6 // 7 // 8 // 9 // 10 // 11 // 12 // 13 // 14 // 15

Although mom’s deserve to be celebrated and pampered each and every day, Mother’s Day is the perfect occasion to go the extra mile to show your mom just how much she means to you. Mother’s Day is always meaningful to me with my difficult road to motherhood but it is extra special this year with Wilder just making me a mom of two. I will never ever take motherhood for granted and am thinking of all you mama’s out there who might be struggling this Mother’s Day.

I tried to come up with items for all types of mom’s – whether she likes to entertain {obsessed with these Estelle coupes!}, travel {this monogrammed jewelry container would be perfect}, or decorate {love these fun coffee table books, they come in so many different colors} I have you covered! I also am loving this beautiful watercolor stationery which would be such a special gift. My mom is the best about writing thank-you notes; regardless of the occasion. This stationery makes me think of her. Let me know in the comments the best Mother’s Day gift you’ve ever given or received! xx B
