Lilly for Target

/ LeopardandGrace

I know every other blogger out there is freaking the freak out about the new Lilly collection — and no lie, so am I!

I just checked my schedule for April 19, and you had better believe that I will be at my Target as soon as the doors open! My Target is relatively new, and never ever busy, so I have all my crossables crossed that I’ll have the whole Lilly section to myself. Ha!

These are the four pieces I am really hoping to get my hands on:

Lilly Picks
1. Strapless Maxi Dress Nosie Posey // 2. Ruffle Bikini Nosie Posey // 3. Shift Dress See Ya Later // 4. Shift Dress Nosie Posey

 

One and Three are for yours truly – I have been wanting a pretty hot pink dress to wear for Gracie’s birthday, and also these are two staples for an upcoming vacation!

Two and Four are for Gracie — how adorable that we can wear matching dresses?! And that bikini. I die. I can just see her now on the beach in Hawaii in that little swimsuit :)

Have you checked out the look book yet? Do you plan on doing any shopping, and if so – are you going to brave the store or pray their website doesn’t crash?!

What To Wear Wednesday: Easter Edition

/ LeopardandGrace

Welcome to the third edition of What to Wear Wednesday! Brittany and I are back, and this month we are talking about what to wear on Easter Sunday!

Easter (usually) means Spring, and Spring (usually) means warmer weather. Except where I live, it’s  Who still 30 degrees with three feet of snow on the ground in Boston. But where Brittany lives (lucky duck) the weather is already warming up nicely – so I’m sure she will actually get to wear a cute, spring outfit on Easter Sunday.

I will too, but with boots, tights and a winter coat :)

 I always make sure that my dress is appropriate for church! Nothing strapless, or too much leg showing for me. I love the first two options if you live somewhere warmer, and the bottom two, if you don’t!

One // Two // Three // Four

 

One and Two are from Loft — seriously my go-to store for pretty much any occasion!! I love the scallop detail on the pink dress, and the eyelet of the yellow is so appropriate for spring!

Three is my wildcard – it’s the most expensive, but I love a pretty floral shift dress! I could still wear it with tights and a blazer, and be warm enough :)

Four is the color I am wearing – I know, it’s not very “spring-y” but with the weather here lately, it just doesn’t feel warm enough to wear a lighter color. Boo hoo.

Anyway, I can’t wait to see everyone’s Easter outfits and recaps on Monday! What are you planning to wear?

*I should also mention that both Loft and Banana Republic are offering 50% and 40% off everything, making these dresses super affordable! There’s still time to snag one of these beauties before Sunday!*

Tuesday Talk: Mama Ramblings

/ LeopardandGrace

Today’s post is going to be short and sweet.

Being a parent is the hardest job that I have ever, and probably will ever do.

I go to bed exhausted, and wake up exhausted. I look at old photos of Keith and I, and hardly recognize ourselves! Now we look so tired with permanent bags under our eyes, and we have a few extra pounds we could stand to lose. But I look at those photos and think ‘Man, I can’t even remember life before her. We had no idea then, the blessing we would be given.’

See what I mean … babiessss … almost six years ago!

 

Gracie has made us the happiest we’ve ever been! The way she lights up when we walk into the room, the sweet way she cuddles our shoulder when she is sleepy, and now when she smacks her lips to kiss you. My heart overflows with love.

Yes, it’s hard. A lot of things have changed and priorities have shifted. But I know this time is fleeting and before we know it, she’ll be off to kindergarten, and then graduating high school.

I don’t really have a point of this post :) but I think all too often we feel that as moms we have to have it all together, all of the time. And I think it’s okay if we don’t. We have great days, and not so great days but always remember:

Happy Tuesday my friends!
