I’m trying to be more consistent with these posts. I love a good round-up of favorite products, clothing, accessories and other random items and projects I happen to be enamoured with at the moment.
The first is this dress that just came in from Gap. I tried it on as soon as I opened the package this evening and I was SO thrilled with the fit and overall style. I’ve had a lot of issues with their fuller-skirted dresses fitting poorly in the past, but this one is perfect at the waist and everywhere else! Mine is a 4T.
Next up are these gorgeous necklaces from Bip & Bop Shop on etsy that I was gifted recently. You might have noticed on IG that I’ve been wearing the pink one like crazy! This dreary weather is making me crave darker colors and it’s the perfect pop of color for those outfits. I also got a rose gold necklace with “Harper” engraved on it and a necklace with mine and my husband’s initials. I love personalized jewelry and I’m so happy to add these piece to my collection because they’re different from what I already own.
I picked up a few items from Old Navy and Gap for Harper and I’m smitten with how sweet they are. I can’t wait for more pastels, florals and colorful prints for spring and summer.

I saw this dress in-store and loved the ruffle on the collar. It’s a great lightweight transition piece with the weather warming up slightly.

Lastly, I want to share a project I worked on months ago and forgot to share. I bought some pin boards at Marshall’s Home Goods and used nails as necklace and earring holders. I have these in my closet since I was finding that I wasn’t wearing as much of my jewelry as I should because it was mostly tucked into a drawer. I really love the way these pin boards allow me to display my favorite pieces.
Wishing you a lovely week!
I love that necklace from the Bip & Bop Shop. It is the perfect shade of pink and very unique ๐
Thank you! It's one of my favorites ๐
LOVE the shoes you have on with the Gap dress! I'd love to know where they are from
Thank you! The shoes are several years old by Ivanka Trump ๐
Gorgeous dress! I love the long sleeves. The fuller shape makes it so ladylike. Also loving that long pink pendant! My friend has a similar one and I borrowed it from her while we were in Hawaii last month! Makes me long for tropical nights ๐
Ugh, I also long for tropical nights ๐ Hope you're doing great!
Love the pin boards! I am looking at the pictures and I see you used nails to hold the necklaces, but what about your earrings? Or do you only use this for certain styles of earrings?
I just push the studs right into the pin board and they hold ๐ dangly earrings hang on the nails as well!
Hi! Follow up question to Veronica's.. What do you do with the backs of the posts for regular earrings? Do you have a small place to store them, or do you put them on the back of the earring and just kinda pull up the pin board when you need it?
I put them the backings on a jewelry tray I keep on my dresser that holds some other pieces and also on a tray in my bathroom which holds a few that I wear the most often ๐
Does that cheetah top come in an adult size…? Love it!

I wish!!!
That GAP dress is so flattering on you! And I really love that blue spotted top for Harper- it looks great for the transitioning weather!
Thank you Jenny! I really love the shape of it too ๐
The pin boards for the jewelry is an awesome idea! I'm going to try that ๐
I hope it's a fun project for you ๐
Lovely necklaces! I wish I had a walk-in to display more jewelry! I have a similar set up in the bathroom, with 3 shadow boxes with pin boards inside. I definitely wear those pieces the most because they're visible.

Isn't it great?- IN sight, IN mind ๐
I love your blog! Your jewelry display looks amazing. I'm wondering though, do you have a problem with any of it tarnishing by leaving it out? I find I don't wear my pieces as often as I like because I store them in plastic baggies (to prevent tarnishing) and it is hard to see what I have.
It's mostly costume jewelry that I have hung up and I haven't noticed anything thus far ๐
The purple stone necklace is really amazing! I've been wanting to get a personalised necklace with my son's name on it for quite some time but have never actually gotten round to it… You've given me that push to actually do it now!

Absolutely love all of the necklaces! And I have to ask…where do you keep the earring backs to the post earrings you keep on the pinboard?
On a tray in my bathroom or in a little jewelry organizer that I keep some other pieces in ๐
i miss your posts about what you purchased! loved this one.
