Boho Chic

May 31, 2016 by Rachel Barkules

Happy Tuesday! I hope you had a great Memorial Day weekend! We had a fun & relaxing weekend. It started with Caleb’s preschool graduation. It was the cutest thing ever!! They walked in with graduation caps, sang songs, got their diploma and said what they want to be when they grow up. Caleb said he wants to be a superhero! I am not surprised!!

I can’t believe how fast my kids are growing up! It feels like the last year went by in a blink. Having my youngest turn 5 and graduate preschool all within a week is a wake up call that they are growing up so fast! I want to freeze them right now and keep them this age forever.

Flare Jeans & Off the Shoulder Top

May 20, 2016 by Rachel Barkules

Happy Friday!

I have been loving off the shoulder tops all spring. I never thought to pair them with flare jeans until last week. I’ve worn my flare jeans so many ways, just never with an off the shoulder top before. And I love it! It gives it an easy, laid back 70’s vibe.

I have tried on soooooo many pairs of flare jeans, Frame is the only brand I have loved. I know they are pricey, but they are worth it! The fit is perfection! There is just enough stretch in them to make them feel like you are wearing sweatpants, but they still hold their shape and hold your butt in. Also, so many flare jeans make your butt look flat. These make your butt look round and perky. I just ordered my second pair in a lighter color. These are also great for girls with super long legs. I have to get about 3-4 inches hemmed off mine (and that is with me wearing a 4 inch heel).

Have a great day and thanks for reading :)
