Chambray by Bongo via Sears

Denim Skirt by Bongo via Sears

One of my favorite trends this summer has to be denim on denim. 

So classic and very Americana but still so trendy and cool. 

I love that you can mix and match the pieces into endless outfit options. Most people do denim on denim using jean pants... I decided to take it a step further and do a denim skirt and the classic chambray, all by Bongo from Sears! I love the style and quality of both. So soft and comfortable, easy to move it and perfect for the last few days of summer. 

I love how this look turned out. I added little touches here and there to make it my own and give it a little fun summer look. You can add cute sandals or shoeties too. I went with oxfords because they are super chic and comfortable. These two pieces are great transitional pieces to use from summer into fall. Just change up the shoes into flat knee highs and add a scarf and you are good to go. 

And if you are stuck on your first day of school outfit, this is a great option too! 

Bongo has to be my favorite brand at Sears, they are affordable and always up to date on the latest trends.

If there's one piece you need this season, make it the chambray! You won't regret it!

I wear mine all year round. How do you wear your chambray?

The Monday Blues. 

 Yesterday started off not as well as it ended. Thankfully. 

This picture was taken as I was working on a post for a really fun campaign I have coming up. 

My beautiful son just jumped in my shot and I loved how this picture came out... 

I love what this picture portrays. His natural and mischievous little smile and my joyful laugh.. because after all my children are truly the essence of every single thing I set out to do.

You may or may not be wondering where I've been the past few days ...and the answer is simple and exciting! This past weekend we celebrated my son's 4th birthday! And I made sure to enjoy every single moment with him. So today I wanted to share some photos from his special day and tell you all about my DIY party ideas for his super cute race car/hot wheels party I planned for him!
I call him my little car connoisseur! He knows them all! And is obsessed with Hot Wheels! 

Since he is my summer baby I wanted to make sure to celebrate as any summer baby should!
With a pool party! The kids truly enjoyed themselves in the spray park, playground and pools.
I pretty much made everything myself, doing simple and easy but still cute little DIY projects all pulled from Pinterest and/or friends!
...
The centerpieces were real car oil bottles that we filled with sand and rocks as weight and
I made the little custom street and route signs myself and put them in the oil bottles.
I loved how these came out! Such a cute and inexpensive idea!
...
A great idea and totally trending party "thing" is chalk everything!
So I got chalkboard stickers at Hobby Lobby and placed those as signs for some of the food and snacks. I did everything from "spare tires" aka Oreos, to "nuts and bolts" aka party mix and of course I made a sign that said "fuel up!" for the beverage station.
I also had a "b" sign that I used as a cute memorabilia and had guests sign it with their wishes for B!
(Thanks Vero for the idea!)
Can you believe I paid $2.49 for it at Hobby Lobby? Always check the clearance section!
I got it because it looked like a tire and this was one of my favorite things from that day!
...
The orange cones that you see on the tables and the snack table were actually the party favors for each kid. I got this idea from a Instagram friend! I filled the cones with fun goodies, fruit snacks and gold fish! The babies got a duckie and applesauce:)
...
I used two Bed Bath & Beyond gift boxes as the stand for the cake (which I kept extra simple this year and just got one at Wegman's) - I got the idea of the gifts boxes from another friend and they worked great! I simply wrapped them in my preferred wrapping paper and voila!
 ...
I also bought the t-shirts you see on my husband and B online...
B's says "PLAYS WITH CARS" and my husband's says "STILL PLAYS WITH CARS" I knew I had to have them the minute I saw them! I love love loved them! And they were a total hit at the party!
...
The day went amazing. It wasn't super humid as it should have been for an August day but that actually made the afternoon really comfortable and nice. Every single thing went so smoothly and I was so happy to see that sweet smile on my baby's face. Planning his birthdays is always so fun, a little stressful but I truly love making and planning these things!
