At first I was a little.. eh.. hesitant at this ruffle trend.  Thought it was to fancy pantsy girly.  

BUT, I must say.  It is stunning & so chic.  Didn’t think I would like, but now I am UH-bessed.  I want every single one I just linked for you.  Super cute for this Summer.

ALSO I literally figured out how to keep these DAMN string lace up shoes to STAY while you’re walking around.  I was bond & determined to figure it out!   There is nothing more annoying than the laces just untying & falling as you walk… right?  Like I am cringing thinking about it. haha.

So whats the trick?

FIRST start by wrapping really really low on the ankle, then as you’re wrapping them up place each one very close together— almost overlapping each other.  Got it?

Okay, next you want to either tie it on the back of the leg, or front.  I guess it is personal preference, but I did on the front because that is the only way I could without the laces being to long. 

When you tie it off, tuck the left over lace under, if you can and if you want.  Again, personal preference.  BUT the trick is keeping them VERY close together as low as possible. 

If you like to lace them all the way up your leg, then be prepared to be re-tying those babies up every 10 steps.  At least that is my problem I have with them.

Does anyone else have any tricks they would like to share, or better yet, have any of you found lace up that actually STAY PUT?!  Please do share!

Headed to meditate now, on day 11.  Has anyone done the headspace app? Or doing it?  How are you liking it?!

Chat with you later,

I was so picky about jean on jean together.  I don’t know what it was, but I just couldn’t get myself to do it!  Finally,  I paired these two together and loved it!  I think mostly because I found the most PERFECT fitting jacket.

And by fitting I mean the perfect size. Not to small, and not to big.  I don’t like the huge baggy look on me as much.  It just depends on the style, and I could never find one I actually loved. 

I ordered this online, so I was a little nervous but it ended up being so perfect I can hardly stand it haha.   It is a boyfriend jacket so it is meant to be a little big and longer than your normal form fitting jean jacket.  

And the best part? It comes with those cute embellishments on it and pins.  Kinda amazing, plus its on sale soooo your welcome ha 🙂

I will be wearing this a little to much I think, but who can blame me!  It is so cute!  I am wearing a XS/S Jacket just in case you need some sort of reference on sizing.  Please let me know if you have any questions about it!  DM Me, leave a comment on here, snap me, tweet me ha.  You get it!  I love chatting with you guys! 

Going to head to get some more work done, run some errands and pack my clothes for CABO!  We leave Wednesday, and I am so nervous excited.  I hate leaving Oaks, but it is needed for this mama.  It sure does make it 10 times worse packing and getting ready to leave town when I know my little guy will miss us :(.

Have a good  day guys!  OH and I have a surprise to share with you tomorrow!  So stay tuned!
