Hey there, enjoying your weekend? I stole this seriously epic pic from Cam’s instagram feed (@camilledipaola). Momlife perfection, right there.
But this weekend post will be short and sweet: Mike and I are on Spring Break with our little guys. In….Colorado. We haven’t been back since we moved five years ago. The boys don’t remember the mountains (“are they actually bigger than Blue Mountain???” Raines asked incredulously) and trying to explain the Rocky Mountains vs. our fav Pennsylvania ski resort can’t be done properly with words. Watching their faces as we drove up to Breckenridge (with beautiful sunny skies)…I mean wow. We’re talking dropped-jaws, gasps of delight, and to my great satisfaction, a little trepidation, even from fearless Raines. “Will I actually be able to ski that, or will there be an avalanche?”
Note to self: fewer ski documentaries.
Anyway, if you are interested in our shenanigans over the next week, I’m going to try and post a few pics to instagram (@shanachristine).
Weekend Links
Gilt is having a huge sale on Rebecca Minkoff, including my favorite fringe backpack….
My Paige black flare overalls (not as crazy as it sounds) are on sale for under $200. Both in regular sizes or petite. These overalls do seriously cool things to tshirts. (You can see the latest on my Instagram – I wore them on St. Patrick’s Day.)
Who What Wear has named “the shacket” one of Spring’s new trends. Personally, I’ve been a longtime lover of “the swacket“, and if you actually click this link you’ll fully appreciate how far our imagery has come since 2008. (And if you are looking for an actual swacket, Scotti found a gorgeous one, here.)
Couldn’t agree more with Chriselle Lim’s tips on how to make your outfit next level.
I’m totally and completely obsessed with Crewcut’s latest girls’ t-shirts. They’re seriously cool, and practically unisex. My favorites are the soccer player, the black-and-white Eiffel Towers, and the tiger (all of which Pax would also LOVE).
Talking to your kids about money? I love these seriously chic banks for kids by Jones and Mae. They have a cool minimalist vibe, and there’s one each for each category: Spend, Save and Share.
One of my friends just whipped up Ina Garten’s Salmon With Lentils on a random Wednesday night and it is SO GOOD. It will be going into our permanent rotation. (Thanks, A! xo)
The mountains are calling, you guys. Enjoy your weekend!
xo,
