LIFE LATELY

succulent wallPutting together a post to share some snaps from my life lately–from current inspiration, pretty things, and friends and family–take a peek!

I’ve been itching to DIY a wooden pallet into some sort of planter box or succulent wall.  I stumbled upon this one and I think I’ve found inspiration for my project.  I think this would look cute in a garden or on a patio.  Now I just need to find a free pallet from behind my local Costco…

tomales bay oysters

We went to Tomales Bay last weekend to an oyster farm and it was amazing and so much fun.  You pack up your picnic in the car (we brought beer, wine, and strawberries), stake out a picnic table, and shuck your own oysters straight from the bay.  I’m not a huge oyster fan but I’ve learned to dress them up with lemon and hot sauce so I’m starting to like them more.  But the most important thing is great company and a great experience, right?

target home decorI’ve been eyeing this accent table and globe from Target to freshen up my home decor.  I like the combination of hammered metal with twine rope, and the globe gives a vintage touch like it belonged in your grandpa’s study.

peonies

Who doesn’t love a big giant bunch of peonies?  If a blogger sees peonies and doesn’t instagram them…did they even exist?!?! Deep thoughts, haha!

A couple of Saturdays ago I attended a French cooking class with Maison Jules in San Francisco.  I was so excited to learn how to bake delicious French goodies–I’m kind of thinking to host a birthday party at a cooking school in the future.

I’ve planted a garden–and look at these squash!  I’ve planted squash, tomatoes, berries, cucumbers, and a few herbs in our shared corner of a community garden.  It’s been a lot of fun to head over each week and take a look at the progress.  And, the succulents are just asking to be instagrammed.

Lola and her friends in a kayak wearing lifevests–is there anything cuter?!?

I love monthly subscriptions and recently discovered and signed up for Underclub to receive an adorably cute pair of undies each month based on the style quiz you fill out when signing up.  How cute is that packaging??  I also marbleized my Macbook with this decal from Etsy–all marble everything!


Macy's DormifyAs I’ve mentioned I’m in the process of moving and will now have a guestroom to decorate!  I’ve been eyeing a lot of the collections from Dormify and love their bright asthetic and creative elements.  I’ve already ordered a bunch of office desk supplies, can’t wait until they arrive.

If you’re in the San Francisco Bay Area, I’m hosting an event with Macy’s and Dormify on Saturday August 1st from 2-4pm in the Union Square Macy’s in San Francisco.  We’ll have Dormify designers on hand to help design your room, music, sips and sweets, and fun DIY stations.  Check out the event invite here for all details–hope to see you there!

xoxo

I think about this ALL. THE. TIME. ✨ I think about this ALL. THE. TIME. ✨
✨ Harrison Finnley Michaels 12/8/2019 ✨ Three ✨ Harrison Finnley Michaels 12/8/2019 ✨
Three months with this little guy and our worlds are rocked. He’s gone from just opening his eyes to rolling over, pushing himself up, grabbing at toys (and my phone as I type this out). He loves to laugh and talk in his baby language all day long 🤣 and sleeps all through the night 🙌🏼 How did we get so blessed with him?! @kmichaels216
Wedding Bells 💍 We are finally diving into some Wedding Bells 💍
We are finally diving into some wedding planning after our engagement last year and not going to lie, it’s overwhelming! We are super laid back and are looking for something small to celebrate. For me, this day isn’t about a big, fancy dress, or hundreds of guests to entertain. It’s about spending time with Kevin and I together committing our lives to one another. I was recommended to check out @shutterfly’s The Wedding Shop and mocked up an invite in this beautiful botanical print perfectly personalized to us and our style. Love our custom candle (smells so good!) and champagne flutes too! Check out my stories for more behind the scenes of unpacking our wedding items and some close ups! #MyShutterfly (ad)
CATCHING UP, what do you have going on this week? CATCHING UP, what do you have going on this week?
• This morning I had an eye exam to check my contacts / glasses Rx. I shared new glasses on Stories but turns out the Rx was wrong in them. I’m TRYING to wear my glasses more around the house and splurged on a pair from @ysl hoping that would help me do it 🤣🤓
• I haven’t been a big concealer wearer but I’ve been testing out the @urbandecaycosmetics naked concealer and have been liking how light it feels on my skin (I’m wearing it here, dress is new from @urbanoutfitters!)
• A work-related project this week—I’m trying to get my inbox of 700 emails down to zero. My problem is that I’ll get an email with some great piece of info in it and think “oh this is great! I can’t work on this right now but I’ll save for when I can” and I mark it unread. Well over time that has added up to 700 😬 I’m thinking of tackling it by sorting through and noting down whatever idea it is in my notebook (paper planner for LIFE! 📒) to reference it and have them all in one place. Maybe this will work!
• I’m currently sitting here watching this little baby sleep and the whole “I want to eat this baby” thing is SO REAL. What is it about babies where it makes us say that?!? He loves his @bibs_usa and @mushie_co!
• I’m considering cutting 3-4 inches from my hair....but here’s the kicker...I have this weird urge to DO IT MYSELF. Maybe I don’t want to put it off until I can get an appointment but I just want to cut it now. Please you guys, talk me out of doing this with scissors in the bathroom 🤣✂️
• Kevin and I have been binge watching @abcscandal and it’s SO ADDICTING. If you haven’t watched it, join us on Netflix but don’t blame me when you’re 2 episodes past your bedtime 😜 we are currently on season 4 of 7!
• WHAT ARE YOU UP TO THIS WEEK???
NEW MOM FASHION AND BEAUTY HACKS: 💁🏼‍♀️
1️⃣ Style your hair once ride that beautiful hair through the week with minimal effort. I use the @t3micro curling wand on day 1 fresh hair to put a little curl in it. On days 2-4 I use dry shampoo—my favorite is @livingproofinc to soak up oil, and then on days 5+ when dry shampoo doesn’t cut it anymore I throw on a cute beanie
2️⃣ Still trying to “bounce back” (whatever that means...) after baby? Same mama, same. @spanx leather-look leggings suck it all in and help as a postpartum support during healing. Win win!
3️⃣ Duster coats are the ONLY thing I want to wear. Not only do they keep you cozy as we wait for spring, but having pockets is NECESSARY for me. Phone in one, pacifier in another, and whatever other random things I need to bring with me when my arms are full with a baby
4️⃣ Lots of undereye concealer for that 8 hours of sleep look. @tartecosmetics shape tape is a favorite but I’ve been testing out @urbandecaycosmetics stay naked concealer and really like it for more natural coverage
MAMAS, WEIGH IN: What are you mom fashion and beauty hacks?! #newmomhacks
Our morning walk ritual ☺️ It’s still been a Our morning walk ritual ☺️
It’s still been a bit chilly out in the mornings but that doesn’t stop us from bundling up (in matching hats no less!) and going for a walk around our neighborhood. Baby carrying is a wonderful thing once you get the hang of it! I love how it gives you a bit of a workout with the added weight of a baby (Harrison is 11lbs now!) and gives them a chance to look around with a different view than the stroller. I can’t wait until he’s big enough to be front facing and then he can really look out at the world. I’ve been using the @nuna_usa @potterybarnkids CUDL carrier (this fabric is the broken arrow caviar) and my favorite feature are the magnetic clips that automatically snap into place to hold baby snugly. #lovemypbk
