gold bow earrings | heart sunglasses | pink faux fur jacket | heart iPhone case | candle | pink heart flats | pink flower stud earrings | perfume | red dress | lipstick | heart bandana | heart pillow | geo throw blanket | heart cocotte | red bow flats | heart sleeve sweater

Hi friends! I had made this Valentine’s Day inspiration collage a few weeks ago and haven’t had the time to write the content! It’s been a rough few weeks in the McCarthy household. January and February are always a super busy time at work for me with state legislatures in session (you can read about my 9-5 job in this post) but this year has been busier than usual. Then last weekend, Richard wasn’t feeling well, so he spent the weekend in bed. Sunday evening I checked his temperature — it was at 103.5! We ran to urgent care and it was confirmed. He had the flu. For the past week, I’ve been trying to take care of him (while still keeping my distance!), crazy with work and disinfecting the house constantly. Thankfully, he is feeling better, but it was a rough week.

Summer’s Last Hurrah

cute pink summer dress

While we still have a good portion of August remaining, I am mentally preparing myself for fall. The heat returned this weekend which had me even more excited for the cooler temperatures. Since there is still time to wear your summer pieces, I thought I would share this pink linen dress I picked up a few weeks ago. The great thing about buying summer pieces this time of the year is that they are typically on sale. Wear these finds now or stock up for next spring and summer!

Summer Blush Crush

summer blush crush

lace cold shoulder dress | stud earrings | rose quartz facial roller | panama hat | sunglasses | stone ring | straw circle bag | scrunchie | ruffle swimsuit | bow sandals | belt | circle drop earrings | tassel key chain | bow shorts | mug | pearl embellished bag | lip balm | lace-up sandals | lace dress

While I typically associate the color blush with spring, I have been noticing so many blush pieces lately. I thought it was time to create a color inspiration board with a color I’m crushing on for summer! What I love most about these pieces is that the color varies from the typical blush color. While the blush is present, there are some peachy and mauve tones in these items that make them a little different from the usual blush. I love this contrast and I think it works well for styling outside of the traditional blush season of spring. Here are some of my favorite summer blush crush pieces…

Travel Day Brights

I don’t know about you, but I always have a hard time deciding on my travel day outfit. Especially when traveling from a cold climate to a warm, or vice versa. When we headed to Texas two weeks ago, I opted for this bright oversized cardigan, comfortable high waisted jeans, wedges and my latest carry-on accessory, the cutest monogrammed tote.

Must-Have Spring Cardigan

At the beginning of spring, I shared a list of my 3 must-have layers for spring (post here). I have re-styled the utility jacket countless times (last seen here) and today I am re-styling my favorite spring cardigan. The color, lightweight style and length are just a few of the reasons why this is a must-have spring cardigan.
