Some looks never go out of style. 🖤 Finding a dress that feels both sophisticated for a formal shoot and comfortable enough to move in isn't always easy, but this floor-length black gown nailed it.
The high slit adds just the right amount of "wow" factor while keeping it classic. If you have a gala, a wedding, or family photos coming up, this is the one!

Even the wallpaper in the bathroom is gorgeous and that’s exactly how I’m starting this about Blackbird in Naples, Florida.

From the moment you pull up and valet takes your keys with a smile and a “have an amazing evening,” you’re met with a stunning marina view. A beautiful statue leads you to the black door, which opens into a jaw-dropping Asian-fusion space that feels both elegant and exciting.

There is truly nothing on the menu I wouldn’t eat, and everything we tried was beyond delicious. This isn’t one of those trendy places serving tiny bites on oversized plates. At Blackbird, the portions are generous, almost family-style, and every bite is perfectly balanced.

The short rib and bone marrow dumplings melt in your mouth, and the beef jerky is hands down one of the most flavorful things you’ll ever taste. You don’t even need the sauces, though they’re incredible too. For mains, the whole Pekin duck was as impressive as it was delicious.

And just when you think the night can’t get better, the chocolate dessert arrives with fire and drama, the perfect ending.

The service alone deserves its own post. From accommodating us with a better table for a high chair to constant check-ins, spotless table resets, and fresh utensils, it was flawless.

Yes, we’re absolutely going back. In fact, we’re going again this week.

Must-Have Alert: The Lip Glowy Serum 🎀✨
I am officially product obsessed! If you haven't tried the Laneige Lip Glowy Balm yet, consider this your sign. While the hydration is top-tier, can we talk about the applicator for a second?
It has that perfect "donut soft" squishy feel that makes applying it actually satisfying. It glides on so smoothly and gives that perfect hint of tint without being sticky. It’s basically a hug for your lips. ☁️💖
Why I’m Loving It:
• The Texture: Lightweight, glossy, and never tacky.
• The Applicator: That squishy tip is a total game changer!
• The Scent: This one is Strawberry Confetti and it smells like a dream. 🍓🍰
• The Shine: Perfect for that "clean girl" aesthetic or layering over liner.
Keep one in your purse, one in your car, and one at your desk. Trust me, you'll thank me later!

The search for the perfect “Mom-and-Me” outing dress is over! 🎀 I’m wearing the Chicwish Watercolor Floral Mini Dress in Hot Pink, and it’s a total game-changer for my weekend wardrobe.
Why I’m obsessed:
• Baby-Friendly Movement: The lantern sleeves aren't just for show—they give me the full range of motion I need to carry my 7-month-old comfortably. 👶
• The "Twirl" Factor: That frilling hem and sash belt create such a flattering silhouette, even when I’m on the move.
• Hide the Mess: The vibrant watercolor print is gorgeous and surprisingly good at hiding those little baby smudges.
• Lightweight Vibes: 100% breezy for those post-brunch strolls.
Whether you’re heading to a baby shower, a birthday party, or just Sunday brunch, this is the one. 🥂✨
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size M (fits like a US 6). Check the size guide for your perfect fit!

Getting that luxury jewelry "look for less" is easier than you think! ✨ I’ve rounded up the best budget-friendly, stackable bracelets that look high-end without the designer price tag.
Whether you love a mixed-metal moment or a classic gold bangle, these pieces are perfect for daily wear.
Shop the Stack 💍
• The Mixed Metal Knot: A perfect "two-tone" piece that goes with everything.
• The Gold Bangle: Sleek, simple, and the ultimate base for any stack.
• The Textured Cuff: Adds that "designer" edge with its unique beaded and spiked ends.
• The Dainty Sparkle: A thin tennis-style bracelet to add a little light to your wrist.
• Matching Rings: Don’t forget the butterfly and knot rings to complete the look!
Styling Tip:
The key to a perfect stack is variety. Mix different textures (smooth bangles vs. beaded chains) and don't be afraid to combine silver and gold. It makes the whole look feel more intentional and curated!

We visited one of our favorite spots in the Naples area Seed to Table for lunch and very serious dessert business 🍰
Nathan’s very first visit

Shoutout to the super kind gentleman who volunteered to take our family photo and accidentally covered the camera with his finger in 9 out of 10 pics 🤣📸

But hey we still got one perfect shot of the whole family so we’re calling it a win 🥇💛

#LTKstorytime #LTKmomlife #LTKdayinmylife

We never miss Waterside Shops when we’re in town. Sometimes we actually buy things, and sometimes we just walk around looking at the windows like we’re at a high-end museum where the art happens to be hand-stitched leather. It’s called balance.

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKvlog #LTKmomlife

I originally thought it was a two piece when ordering but turned out it is a jumpsuit! Actually pretty cool!

Sleek, timeless, and Amazon 😮‍🔥
This black dress is giving luxury without the luxury price. Snatched fit, elegant silhouette, and somehow still mom-approved (yes, I’m holding my baby 💕). Perfect for photoshoots, date nights, events — or anytime you want to feel THAT confident.

Linking this stunning black dress from Amazon for a price you won’t believe 🖤✨
Trust me, this is one of those “add to cart immediately” pieces.
