I have a love/hate relationship with sales posts. On the one hand, I feel like every blogger does it and I find that annoying and I’m skeptical of how genuine their picks are versus wanting to make a commission. But…
The Cute Toddler and Baby Spring Clothes That I’m Buying for James and Charlotte Right Now

What I’m Buying for James for Back to School

Even though I love shopping, I work in fashion and live for pretty dresses, you might be surprised to know that I actually don’t have that many clothes in my closet. I try to invest in quality basics that I can wear over and over again, especially now that I’m a mom.
