MOMMA LOVES… sundresses – bring on the sun

Here comes the sun – and here comes my favorite summertime staple – adorable sundresses!

I’m loving some femininity now that the sun is shining – it’s officially time for sundresses (quickly before the frost returns). Bare arms, bare legs and pretty, effortless style – they’re is nothing as perfect for the warm weather! Little sundresses really take me back to my earliest childhood memories of summer – those pretty little dresses we wore in our youth that we never grew out of wanting… They’re a one stop styling no brainer – super simple to wear with everything from sandals to ankle boots to high heels and wedges – they truly are a summertime uniform. I actually often look at boys with sadness that they don’t get to experience the true joy of throwing on sundresses on days like this (of course I live in LA and it’s truthfully most days). Whether for the brunch, a night out, a summer bbq – these frocks are perfect for every occasion and always super easy to wear! Check out some of my favorite sundresses to live in for the next 6 months (+).

MOMMA NEEDS… summer denim

Yes Max, I love summer denim too!

Let’s face it, we wear jeans all year round, but summer denim is slightly different, lighter (both in color and weight) and just a bit softer and more laid back. Often cropped for a bit of ankle action, relaxed and faded for a more laid back feel - these jeans (and jackets and skirts) are just a different version of the ones that got us through the cold. Universally adored regardless of style summer denim is a must have for those lazy Sundays, casual Fridays and pretty much every other occasion that doesn’t require fancier fare. They’re simple, versatile and a staple for every wardrobe. Check out my favorite summer denim for the new season!

MOMMA WANTS… maxi skirts to spring fling in

Love maxi skirts for keeping cool, looking great and running after this guy in the hot weather.

Pretty and feminine they’re on my summer must have list.

Last week I talked about the dresses and this week it’s all about maxi skirt. There is nothing that feels so free as a great, long, billowing skirt. They make me feel like spinning around in some sort of Sound of Music remake yet, as feminine as they are they also allow me a lot more mobility when chasing my toddler than their shorter versions. Nothing screams spring summer has arrived quite like maxi skirts – they’re light and pretty and quickly replace denim as my go-to day to day bottoms. Super easy to wear with sandals and a tank – they’re comfortable as sweats, yet look pretty and pulled together. Extra style tip – a great maxi can be casual enough for a trip to the park but can also be accessorized and styled to be formal enough for those summer weddings you have on the calendar… Check out some of my favorite maxi skirts to give you that perfect boho look that’s both stylish and comfortable and can get you through the warm months with ease.

Nothing like some floral print pieces to get your ready for spring.

Incredibly feminine yet never dated, great floral prints are exactly what you need to transition your tired winter wardrobe. These flowery clothes are generally light and fresh and just get you ready for those perfect spring days. After all, there’s nothing worse than the perfect day arriving and having nothing to wear to enjoy it! It’s time for some more gorgeous floral prints to get your spring fling on!
