Weekend plans: I’m having a house full of teenagers tonight. Then we are hitting the road for Tahoe bright and early in the morning. Final, Final beach weekend. The only thing in the agenda – sit on Pope Beach. With a beer in hand most likely, let’s keep it real. And relax to the max!

On Wednesday’s we wear leopard!
Surprise, Surprise! A whole post dedicated to leopard print. I feel like leopard print has always been a major trend for years. But, it’s real, real BIG at the moment. You can find a little leopard something at basically any retailer. From shoes to PJ’s. Scrunchies – yep, scrunchies are another major thang. Especially for the tween + teens! That headband though. You know I’m feeling the headbands! Belts are perfect if you’re easing your way into the print. You know I love that leopard skirt and it’s on SUPER sale. Bundling up an outfit with a scarf or topping with that amazing pullover! To the gym or to the beach. I found something in just about every category!
Tank ($15) | Denim | Booties (similar booties) | Choker (set of 5 for $10)
Is it too early to be thinking about corndogs, keg beer and the zipper? (plz say no) T-2 days till the Fair 🎡
Monday came real quick, but I’m ready for a new week + new goals + new intentions. Our weekend was chill AF and I got so much done. Which makes Monday just a tad less harsh.
Cheers to the last week of summer before school starts. Enjoy it!!
Intentions for the Week:
Dress | Heels | Phone Case | Bracelets: Gold // Rope
The worst part about Friday is waking up and realizing it’s actually ONLY Thursday. FML!

I can hardly believe school starts in TWENTY TWO days! Where did summer go?
As much as I LOVE summer. I have to admit, I’m ready for our regular routine. You know – the one where nobody wants to get out of bed. Then we’re both up fighting over the bathroom. Bumping into each other to brush out teeth. And typically running late. Ha! Don’t you miss that too?
Bailey has opted out of taking zero period this year, so we’ve got some logistics to still work out. The 7:15 am out the door was actually kinda nice last year.
But, what we do have figured out is ALL THE THINGS back to school gear-wise. From backpacks to teen approved lunchboxes. Vans, ONLY vans. Cute tops + accessories that you “NEED”
With the help of my very own 12 year old, we’ve rounded up her top picks for back to school.

It’s Thursday friends. The HOT as hell weekend is almost here. Almost, almost, makes me not that excited for the best two days of the week after reading the weather forecast. 108 degrees. Sickening! We are going to head to the coast for a bit and get some vitamin sea. And cooler temps.
I was looking in my closet the other day. Had one of those “I hate everything I own” kinda days. Which is absolutely ridiculous. But, we all have those days, right? Next thing I know, I’m pulling shit out and throwing it on my bed.
And it got me thinking. Why wait for spring to start cleaning? I like + NEED to do it seasonally. And since the famous Nordstrom #nsale has me dreaming of fall trends, I’m ready to make room and get rid of some shit I really don’t need.
Scroll down for some tips on how I purge my closet each season. Pack away the things you wont need for a few months so you can really see the clothes you have + love. And make a list of items you need to fill in the gaps. Grab a good bottle of wine. And spend the hot ass weekend doing some much needed closet clean out. I promise you wont regret it!
Remember that one time I did the Marie Kondo Method? You can read all about it right here: {weekend notes} I recommend reading the book and doing some research before you take on a project like this one. Shared more about it here: {let’s kon marie} Or what about the time {i gave up shopping for 30 days…kinda} I sourced all kinds of great closet goodies that I have and love.
Things you really need to get rid of NOW……
Before you get started….Put on some good ass music. This is no time for Adele! You’re gonna need some of that good mood music. And a BIG ass glass of wine. Hell, just bring the whole bottle into your room! Getting tips might make some purging decisions a little easier. Just saying.
And I’m not chatting about the skinny legged jeans we all own and love to death. Keep those sis! What about those jeans you’ve been packing around for years. Maybe even since…..high school? Those ones you once wore. But you can now hardly get one leg into? The ones before you had #hellakids. Yeah, those skinny jeans. Live in the present girlfriend and ditch those never-gonna-wear again jeans. Better yet, gather them up and head to Madewell or J.Crew. They will give you a $20 voucher for each pair of old ass jeans. Not matter what condition they are in. Then next time you’re in the market for new pair of denim…you turn it in and save yo self some money honey!
