Shopping for Spring & Summer

Hello Hello!

How are you guys doing? It’s a lovely evening over here and i’m currently sipping tea, watching Fixer Upper, and shopping for spring/summer! Since i’m pregnant, my wardrobe has simplified in a huge way. i’m gravitating towards easy lounge sweats, comfortable & classic shoes, and simple silhouettes. My go-to outfits are either leggings and a classic oversized button up blouse, a long floral dress, or a sweat set paired with high-tops.

It’s easy while pregnant to not feel very stylish or put together and so i’m putting extra intention into getting dressed everyday in pieces that make me feel good. I’ve also been making every effort to be mindful of my purchases and only purchase new items that I know I will wear and love for years to come. I have put together a mood board of pieces I am looking into adding into my wardrobe this season and I thought I would share! None of these pieces are maternity but will work great throughout my pregnancy and after. Would love to know your thoughts! Are you shopping at all this season? I’d love to know whats on your wishlist!

My Spring Capsule Wardrobe

With all the extra time at home recently, i’ve had time to go through my closet to organize and purge. Recently i’ve been drawn to the idea of a capsule wardrobe. I seem to go through phases in my style preferences. Sometimes I love colors and patterns and trends and in other seasons I’m all about minimizing, comfortable basics, and timeless pieces. As i’m trying to be a more conscious shopper and shop more ethically and sustainably, i’m back on a kick to own less and do more with each piece of clothing I own.

When thinking about this Spring, simplicity is what comes to mind. Most of us are spending most of our time in our homes these days and it can be easy to wear the same ol’ sweatpants every day. I’m definitely the queen of athleisure and opt for wearing joggers and tee’s on most days but I also want to have a few other pieces I can put a quick outfit together that is a little more elevated. I plan on wearing distressed denim, basic comfy tees, and simple leather sandals on repeat. My goal is to have a few go-to outfits and then accessorize with cute headbands and statement earrings. I’ve divided my Spring Capsule by Tops, Bottoms, Dresses, and Accessories so you can see all the pieces in my collection. All of these pieces I either currently own or am eyeing to purchase this Spring. I hope this is helpful for you! Would love to know what’s in your capsule for this Spring?!

PS: I plan on shopping mostly sustainable and slow fashion brands. I am trying to be more mindful in my shopping but you will see some fast fashion options on here. It’s definitely a slow progression and I can’t afford to buy slow fashion for everything but I believe that buying things with intention, not mindlessly, is the intention i’m trying to go by!

Gluten Free Berry Cobbler

Hi Friends! I’m so excited to be sharing one of my favorite recipes today. This berry cobbler is a staple in our household and it’s something my husband asks me to make on the weekly! I came up with this recipe because I was craving the blackberry cobbler my mom would make for us growing up. That cobbler was not gluten free and so I knew I needed to make something similar, but healthier! This cobbler can be a dessert or a breakfast dish and it’s so versatile. You can used frozen mixed berries, blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, or truly any fruit you want! I use either frozen mixed berries from Costco or frozen blackberries. Enjoy!

Let me know what you think of it!
