5 Online Boutiques You Need to Know About

I follow quite a few online boutiques on Instagram (I find that they put their best stuff on there), so naturally I start remembering the ones that consistently post really unique and amazing clothing.

And I wouldn't be doing my duty to all you fabulous readers of mine if I didn't share, now would I?

So here's 5 of my favorite online boutiques along with a couple of my picks from their shops.  Maybe you've heard of some or maybe you haven't...so hopefully you can find something that suits your fancy, or the fancy of someone special.  Make sure to click through to the shops, as these are just my individual picks.

Hello, Christmas is knocking on the door people.

Psst-The Mama Bird tee is my fave!

Artifact Uprising Giveaway

Being in roles of both a momma of four and a photographer/blogger, I take a LOT of pictures.  It's what I do.  But about three years ago, I stopped printing those pictures out...whether it was time, hassle, or just pure laziness...the thousands of images have remained on my computer or hard drives.  It's actually pretty sad when my kids come to me wanting a picture of the family for school or to frame one for their room...and I'm all...uh, let me get back to you on that one.  Because we have zero pictures in hardcopy!  I'm not the only one who does this, right?

So when I heard of Artifact Uprising, I was thoroughly intrigued with their ideas of ease and quality for photo keeping...especially in the day of "I only take Instagram photos" or "I'll get to it someday".  This company not only takes the hassle out of photo printing with services such as Instagram books, iPhone app to create photo books with your phone pictures, matte-finish square prints right off your phone, etc....but also provides amazingly beautiful, environment-friendly (100% recycled paper) and unique photo products.  Seriously...my pictures don't do them justice...check out their products HERE.

I love their slogan:

>>>INSPIRED BY THE DISAPPEARING BEAUTY OF THE TANGIBLE™<<<

^^^ All Instagram photos of mine ^^^

So to share my love for photos and to give one of my readers the opportunity to "leave something beautifully tangible behind"....Artifact Uprising is giving away an 8.5 x 8.5 soft cover photo book!  To enter, just use the widget below for 2 simple entries!

A New Maxi Dress + A New Sponsorship

dress: c/o Jane.com, jacket: CAbi, earrings: Kendra Scott, necklace and bracelets: Stella & Dot 

Holy Moly...what day is it, what's my name...where do I live???
Last week we moved.  Need I say more to explain the exasperation, exhaustion, and relief I feel that it's done?  Probably not.  Let's move on and talk about this dress, shall we?
Jane.com sent me this fabulous maxi dress and I couldn't love it more...the shape, the print...it's just divine and so fun to wear!  This particular one sold out pretty quickly, but I'm keeping a close eye on the site to see if they get some more in.  I'm kind of obsessed with their great deals...have you checked them out yet?
Now a few housekeeping details:
1.  I'm now offering an exclusive social media sponsorship option for March.  My blogging will be sporadic this month due to a crazy schedule, so I don't feel like sponsorships in that capacity would benefit you as much as....but this one certainly will!  I'm pricing these very reasonably and they would run for a week at a time.  Check out the details for the Social Media Blitz Package HERE.
2.  This week, however, is an exception to my sporadic blogging and I have some fun topics to write/blog about this week, for which I'm super excited and inspired!  I so appreciate you coming here to my space and I hope you hang in there with me!!!!  Have a wonderful week!!!

p.s.  Jane.com sent me these adorable chalkboard signs for our laundry room, too!  Can't wait to put them up!!!!

#tbt

Let me just begin by saying if you don't yet have an Instagram account....what are you waiting for?  Get on it!

Instagram is my favorite social media both on which to follow and to post.  In fact, every week I look forward to #tbt (For you non-Instagramers, Throw Back Thursday is where you post old pictures).  Now that it's finally Thursday, I have yet to come up with a good one this week.  I'm trying to find an old pic that depicts my husband's law school nickname of "Shaggy" (seriously, people didn't even know his real name!)  Also, I really want to print some of my Instagrams out....has anyone done this before?  If so, please let details in the comments if you don't mind.  :)

So today, I brought #tbt to the #blog for some old school #pictures.  (#toomuchhashtag?)

Clockwise from top left:

-4th of July...that's my second daughter that just turned 6.  Oh, and I had long, two-toned hair.

-My husband had just had his wisdom teeth out hence the swollen face, but we couldn't miss that particular wedding so we went anyway...me, him, and his cheeks.

-Our first family photo...not to be a downer, but every time I see this picture I think about how I had miscarried the day before and my D&C was the following day after this photo shoot.  This picture sits on our mantle, so I'm often reminded of our lost baby that we'll maybe someday get to meet.

-A coach and his linebacker....um, pregnant linebacker to be exact.  I won an award for this get-up!

Oh!!!  I almost forgot to tell you some big news!  Tomorrow for the BEST OF Style link up, Ashley from Dancing With Ashley will be my co-host!!!!  I'm super excited to have her and can't wait to see this week's style posts!!!  It will go live at midnight CST!  You can see a couple of my favorite BEST OF's here and here.

Happy Throwback Thursday!
