A big huge list of all the summer activities I have planned for Piper!

I love summer beauty — and the effortless, easy attitude that comes with it. I’ve only worn makeup a handful of times the past month – and it’s honestly been wonderful!

Summer reading is my very favorite! It’s the only time of the year where I’ll plow through several books and always wish I’d make this enthusiasm last throughout the year!

Have you checked out Banana Republic lately? Back during fashion week in February they were getting a ton of buzz for amping up their style….and ever since I’ve been checking their website for new arrivals more frequently. To be honest I hadn’t set foot in a Banana store in years! I’ve been on the hunt […]

One of my favorite summer dress styles the past few years has been the shirt dress — I wore it while I was pregnant because it worked well with the bump and now I love it for ease of breastfeeding. It’s really the only kind of dress I wear when I know I’ll have to […]

There’s nothing like summer reading… although I wish I carried the same enthusiasm and dedication to reading throughout the entire year like I do during the summer months! I’ve been trying to read more in general but the past few weeks I’ve been adamant about reading before bed for at least 20 minutes. My list […]

People always ask “how I do it all” — juggling my job at Glitter Guide, my floral & wedding design business and this blog. With so many new projects, shoots and exciting things in the works I decided it was time to bring on a part-time PAID summer intern, with the hopes that I can […]
