Hux Goods

My friend Jennae, the creative behind Hux Goods, sent me a few items from her shop recently and I wanted to share because they are good. So good.  

The first items she sent me I use daily. I mean, every. Single. Day. 

My hair is usually in a ponytail or bun, it's just the way of life around here.  I have always bought the elastic bands from the drugstore that more than often get stuck in my hair and result in a tug of war match.  She sent me a pack of her novelty hair ties and now they're the only ones I use! They're gentle, don't leave creases and come in many different colors and patterns. 

She also sent me a couple of great headbands, one of which I rocked for the Super Bowl and most of the Seahawks games!

The other night I left my hair ties at home while hubby and I went on a date! Instead of lugging around the diaper bag, I picked a few essentials, tossed them into my Hux Goods Freyja fold over clutch and danced out the door.  It is the perfect size for a night out and is a great staple piece to match any outfit. The quality of the clutch is superb and I love the fun colorful fabrics she used for the inside panels. She has different sizes with different interior panel fabrics available in her shop!

The clutches are the perfect size for a phone, gloss, keys, a couple cards and few others essentials for the evening. 

Be sure to check out her shop to see all that she has available! Thank you Jennae for sharing your talent!

Dressing Up

I do not consider myself a fashionable person.  I try to be but I just don't have it.  Give me an empty house and I can dress that, but myself not so much. 

 

Many of my friends are fashion bloggers and super fashionable.  When I hang out with them I feel like I have to step up my game a bit which is good, it forces me to ditch my Zellas and put on something cute!

 

Anyways, I am going to try to post an outfit every so often just for kicks. I'm all about comfort so there will be lots of jeans and t-shirts but i'll try to tackle some new looks too!

 

Here is my first look post from the #noleftovers4baby shower I hosted last Saturday.

Thrift Haul

 Last Thursday, my SIL, friend and I tested our poppin tag skills at the Goodwill Outlet in Seattle. This was never something that really interested me but after seeing some of the finds my SIL brought home after her many GWO adventures, I wanted to give it a shot!

 

Here's my haul:

 

American Eagle Mini Backpack: Perfect for throwing a bunch of stuff in for summer excursions

BIG Straw Clutch: It's huge but I love it!

Eddie Bauer Men's Plaid Shirt: Hubs has yet to try it on, but I think he'd look smoking in it! 

 

 

Obviously I like stripes?!

Two Nordstrom brand sweaters, perfect for summer evenings.

Striped hoodie and patterned pullover from H&M.

 

 

 Denim vest, Forever 21 racer back tank and Gap chambray.

Red Old Navy flannel, plain white Forever 21 tee and red harem pants (these will most likely be lounge wear).

 

  

 

 Ann Taylor Loft striped 3/4 tee and Old Navy distressed trousers.

Graphic tee, plaid, hoodie and jeans for the Cru-ster.

 

I have yet to try everything on but when you're paying per pound, you can justify the questionable items.  If you choose to check out the GWO my advice would be to go on a weekday morning and bring gloves and face mask.  It was kinda fun digging for treasure.  My grand total for all this was $18.72.  Not bad!

 

Freshly Picked: A Review

I am so excited to be able to have this opportunity to work with and review a pair of Freshly Picked Moccasins! We were sent a pair of their moccs in the weathered brown color.  They are the perfect neutral and match everything!

 

  

Why they are so great:

 

They are so easy for mama to put on baby and not so easy for baby to pull off.  This is wonderful for me because my child takes off everything I put on his feet.  These, he leaves on!

 

They're soft, the elastic ankle band doesn't allow pinching and the general nature of the shoe is easy, breezy comfort perfection. 

 

They're adorable.  The very first day we wore them I received so many compliments. 

 

They're quick. Forget the socks and it's a quick slip on and go, perfect for the wiggle worm phase (which we're in)...

 

I couldn't find any bad things about these moccs.  They've survived their first week walking in grass, gravel and dirt. They've gotten wet and even

scraped against concrete and nothing seems to phase them.




Not only do we love the moccs but the Freshly Picked team is awesome! Their customer service is exceptional and they were wonderful to work with!



 

 

 

So now that you've read this, go to their site and order a pair for your littles!  They just added Carryall handbags to the mix that look like the perfect mommy sidekick!

Mother's Day Wishlist

I know blogging mamas worldwide are blogging their wish lists for the impending, mother loving holiday.  Well, I'm going to also!

 

I am all about comfort.  I like getting dressed up like every other lady but as a stay at home mom, my main uniform consists of hoodies and yoga pants. My closet is full of basics.   I like pieces that are easily switched with others and easy to accessorize.  Stepping into some nicer weather, here are some new yet comfortable things that I would love to add to my closet.

 

1. This Starbucks cold-cup is so cute! I love the warm spring colors and this would definitely add a little flare to any outfit or stroller cup holder.

 

2. This sweatshirt is the epitome of how I am feeling lately.  We're having some major sleeping battles going on and I just want to wear this!

 

3. The classic white chuck taylor is definitely a staple piece.  I have a pair since I have had since High School.  I need a fresh pretty new pair.... like yesterday. 

 

4. I have been coveting these Nena and Co. day bags for over a year. Each bag is hand loomed and one of a kind! Not only is Nena and Co a green company, but also "Peace Pilgrims", helping others in need!

 

5. I am hopping on the Birks bandwagon.  They are so comfy and easy to just slide on.  I'll take one in each color please!

 

What's on your Mother's Day wish list?!
