Happy 4th of July weekend!!! Woohoo!!! I think this is my first 4th that I'm not working at least one of the days (gotta love maternity leave - totally worth all the sleepless nights!). Thats probably one of the hardest things about working in retail - holidays. This weekend we're heading to Great Barrington, MA - my happy place - to spend some much needed time relaxing with the family. I'm looking forward to farmer's markets, barbecuing, and swimming with the kids! The outfit featured today is totally something I would wear in the Berkshires. Its comfortable and casual yet still feels feminine. The top is on SERIOUS sale at under $100. Since the service isn't awesome out there I wanted to post today and share with you guys some awesome sales going on this weekend! HAPPY 4TH & HAPPY SHOPPING:)

AT HOME with THE GIRL LOOK BOOK

I've thought a lot about how I wanted to start this post. After working in fashion for almost 9 years it felt so natural to start a life and style blog. What I didn't expect is how hard the "life" part would turn out to be. Styling is a passion of mine and that part comes so naturally. As each photoshoot passes it gets easier and easier to share my outfit pics with you guys, but what about the other 98% of my life? How much do I show? I never wanted THE GIRL LOOK BOOK to be a "mom blog". Not because there is ANYTHING wrong with that (I love and follow so many), but because it doesn't represent my passion which is styling all women (and men), not just moms. 

So here's a first real glimpse into my life. If you follow my InstaStories you know that my oldest son Luke is 2 and a half and Harrison (Beau) will be 2 months old next week. Right now things are a little chaotic but I am so thankful for the time I've been able to spend with Luke on my maternity leave. I shot these photos with the SUPER talented Brooke from Brooke Allison Photography. I was really nervous about shooting with Luke, toddlers don't love being told what to do:), but after she snapped a few photos I felt like she wasn't even in the room. The result is a handful of photographs that I will cherish forever. 

One of the reasons I love being a stylist and a blogger is that I get to meet the most amazing and creative people. Brooke is no different. Check out her new Instagram handle @storiesofsentiment and follow along as she captures real life through her gorgeous photographs. On another note I want to thank YOU for your support as I find the right "balance". I'm so happy to take you on this journey with me!

CASUAL SUMMER

SHOP THE POST

Oh how I love the weekends...This post started out as a Lust List and eventually morphed into a What to Pack which I was so excited about because its been a while:) I recently helped a client pack for her trip to Nantucket and we had SO much fun! I love playing dress up but one of my passions is working with an everyday casual wardrobe. We centered around the purchase of this tunic (which is $25 off right now with code PRIVATE) and her suitcase evolved from there! Another casual summer staple for me are army green shorts. I just love them paired with a basic white top and gold accents (sandals or hoop earrings). These are PERFECT!

Happy HUMP day! This shoot was one of the most fun ones I've done so far! Brooke and I found this fabulous "secret garden" while driving around looking for locations and I am so excited to share these pics with you. What is better than a little white dress for summer? Add lace and I'm sold! I was shocked when I saw the price of this one. My only tip when ordering is to SIZE DOWN. This style runs very big but I love the skirt part of this dress. Hides everything and is so fun to wear casually or dressed up. Check out some of my favorite LWDs of the season below!

TASSELS AND STRIPES

Hey friends! I hope your weekend was as lovely as mine! It finally stopped raining and we took advantage of every minute of sunshine! I shot the pics for this post with Luke, the baby, and my hubby Frank just a few feet away. Luke was yelling for me pretty much the whole time wondering why mommy was in the middle of the street. Its definitely a little crazy these days being a mom of two and working on the blog but at the end of the day all the chaos is worth it because I get so much out of both jobs. 

I love the earrings in this outfit and the price is so amazing at under $60!!!). I don't really wear a ton of jewelry but if I do, its almost always a fun pair of earrings. The trend has blown up this year and I love that there are so many fabulous options at every price point. Shop the post and check out all my top picks below:)

I hope everyone is having a great week! We had a little scare last night with baby Harrison but everything is OK now. I have a feeling that with two boys its just the beginning of middle of the night emergency room visits for us. One of my favorite online sales is going on right now. Use code MAINEVENT to save. Below are some of my favorites:)

  • These sandals are so perfect for everyday and I love metallics because they go with everything!
  • I wore this top in a recent outfit post and I LOVE IT! You can wear it as a jacket too and its a great deal at 40% OFF. This eyelet dress is so packable whether your off to Nantucket or a tropical island. 
  • It's wedding season! How gorgeous is this dress??? I am such a sucker for this ethereal look and the color is perfect. Pair it with these gold earrings! It also comes in black:)
  • Stripes are everywhere this season and this elegant top is great for day to night and is under $100!! I also love this one.
