Weekend Favorites/Sales & Seattle

*affiliate links used

{zip front chino dress/button-front chino dress/raffia sandals/mini paperclip chain necklace/mini paperclip chain bracelet/havana friendship chain}

Happy Sunday! Apologizing in advance for the length of this post! I’m sharing some recent favorites along with a photo dump from our Seattle trip last weekend. Feel free to skip the second half of this post since I’m using it as a family journal. I’ve learned that if I don’t document life here every once in a while the documenting will never happen! Ha. I shared that I ordered this cute J Crew dress a few weeks ago and wanted to share how it looks on! Such a great find! The reviews were right.. it’s very flattering! Of course I’m a fan of the color so there’s that too. :) It’s sold out in a lot of sizes (I’m hoping they bring it back!) but it comes in white and I also linked a very similar dress above. CUTE.

{pilcro embroidered tee/colette cropped wide leg pants/raffia sandals/

mini paperclip chain necklace/mini paperclip chain bracelet/havana friendship chain}

I’ve been living in this outfit this summer! I’ve shared the pants before.. they are so comfortable! The tee is beautiful. On the short side but perfect with high waist pants.

{travel cosmetic bag}

I know I’ve shared this travel bag before, but now I’ve actually traveled with it multiple times and I just couldn’t love it more! I heard it was so popular it went viral on social media? I’m not surprised because it holds so much more than you think it would! I’ve already ordered my girls each one for Christmas. (Yes.. thinking ahead to that already because I want to be mostly done with holiday shopping by October!) 

Favorites & Sales (Sunny Side Up)

{travel bottles}

I also shared these travel bottles and just used them for the first time on our trip to Seattle. LOVE them! They hold a lot of product and didn’t leak at all!

fall leaves (Sunny Side Up)

{cimicifuga ramosa leaves}

Fall is right around the corner (I know that makes some of you cheer and some of you boo!). I’m really enjoying summer with my kids and I never feel ready to decorate until they go back to school BUT I do like to start planning ahead! It’s not difficult for me to enjoy one season while planning ahead and getting excited about the next. I’m tricky like that. ;) You too? If you’re in my boat and enjoying summer while thinking a little about fall decor then you might be interested to know that these stunning cimicifuga ramosa leaves are back in stock! I’m very excited to pull them out again. They sold out quickly last year so don’t hesitate if you want them!

1- eucalyptus leaves   2- nandina leaf branch   3- cimicifuga ramosa leaves   4- ivy branch

A few more AFloral favorites for Fall!

{terracotta jack o lanterns}

I’m also pretty smitten with these terracotta jack o lanterns! They came out with these last year but just in the orange. I loved them but didn’t order any because I wasn’t as into the color. Well ok! Whole new story with this black/gray vibe! I’m definitely a fan. They were so popular last year and sold out before October even hit and I know these will sell out quickly too so I’m sharing them early! A lot of people found ways to make something similar for less which is so fun too if you have the time! I ordered one of each size and will share a pic when they come in. Thinking they’ll land on my front porch this year. :)

1.jack o lanterns   2- cimicifuga ramosa leaves   3-travel cosmetic bag

4- chain bracelet   5-  embroidered tee   6-  round marble serving board   7-  linen blend pillow

Most loved lately!

N Sale Try On (Sunny Side Up)

{pretty things jewelry box}

These “pretty things” jewelry boxes sold out in a blink during the N sale, but there are so many similar fun options still in stock! Sharing 5 I love below! A cute little jewelry box like this is one of my favorite gifts to give because you can put some jewelry inside to make it really special.

Below are some pics from our recent trip to Seattle! Kenny and I love Seattle, but have never taken our kids. It was a short trip but we packed a lot in and had such a good time.

Seattle (Sunny Side Up)

We kicked off our trip touring U Dub with Addison. What a stunning campus!

Seattle (Sunny Side Up)

It was a beautiful day and the grounds were absolutely breathtaking.

Seattle (Sunny Side Up)

The buildings were gorgeous too. Total Harry Potter vibe. I half expected Dumbledore to pop into this beautiful library at any moment. ;)

Seattle (Sunny Side Up)

I would love to go back and see it again when the cherry blossom trees are blooming! It’s the same thing every time with these college tours. Kenny is always asking questions about things that are actually important for Addison to know about the school while I just get lost in the architecture and landscaping. Ha.

Seattle (Sunny Side Up)

We took the kids to Pike Place Market (of course!). So fun to show them everything.

Seattle (Sunny Side Up)

El snapped this on our way. :)

Seattle (Sunny Side Up)

We showed them the first Starbucks which was a summer highlight for Addison since she’s addicted to pink drinks. Ha.

Seattle (Sunny Side Up)

So fun seeing where it all started!

Seattle (Sunny Side Up)

Seattle (Sunny Side Up)

We hung out at the Pier for half of a day and did all the fun tourist Seattle things. Definitely do the “Wings over Washington” ride if you go.. it was incredible and Kole’s favorite part of the trip!

Seattle (Sunny Side Up)

The Carousel was a hit too. :)

Seattle (Sunny Side Up)

Seattle (Sunny Side Up)

My kids loved the city and it made me so happy to finally show it to them! We lucked out with perfect weather too.

Seattle (Sunny Side Up)

We ate at a few fun restaurants..

Seattle (Sunny Side Up)

and walked a lot exploring in the evenings. We stayed at the Residence Inn Downtown/Lake Union and the location was great. We were so close to everything so we didn’t rent a car and just walked most of the time and took an uber if we needed one.

Seattle (Sunny Side Up)

Seattle (Sunny Side Up)

I love this city! I would seriously want to move here if the weather was always this beautiful. Not so sure I could handle the rain. :)

Seattle (Sunny Side Up)

Another sweet moment El captured. She’s becoming quite the photographer. :)

Seattle (Sunny Side Up)

Seattle (Sunny Side Up)

Day 2 we took the kids to Lake Union to kayak!

Seattle (Sunny Side Up)

I was so happy to finally have Tevas.. ha! Every trip we’ve taken for the last few years I’ve wished I had a pair for stuff like this.

Seattle (Sunny Side Up)

We paddled around and had the best time! I loved seeing the beautiful houses on the lake and kept thinking of Tom Hanks and how they looked just like his house in Sleepless in Seattle. When we left the lake I looked it up and sure enough.. this is exactly where that movie was filmed!

Seattle (Sunny Side Up)

Check out these expert kayakers.

Seattle (Sunny Side Up)

So in sync! ;)

Seattle (Sunny Side Up)

After a fun day on the lake we cleaned up and got ready for the main reason we hit Seattle..

Seattle (Sunny Side Up)

Taylor Swift! What a night.

Seattle (Sunny Side Up)

{pleated cap sleeve minidress/similar prairie dreams flutter sleeve dress/similar black over the knee boots/ruffle romper/monikka western boots}

To say the 3 of us were giddy is an understatement! I wore this black dress I recently bought at the N sale.. Reputation all the way for this Swiftie. ;) My girls wore these cute rompers they have been living in this summer and I last minute ordered El a pair of western boots from the sale because she didn’t have a pair!

Seattle (Sunny Side Up)

I also ordered these cute clear purses for each of us to take! Now we’re set for future concerts/events too.

Seattle (Sunny Side Up)

Kole’s first concert. Now I’m worried any future concerts will fall a little flat in comparison.. ha! So special experiencing this night with my family! And a couple of Ad’s besties she was face timing at the beginning of the concert. Too fun.

Seattle (Sunny Side Up)

The energy in this stadium was off the charts! I’ve honestly never experienced anything like it! This clock started counting down to Taylor coming on and everyone went absolutely crazy.

Seattle (Sunny Side Up)

She was unbelievable.

Seattle (Sunny Side Up)

WHAT A SHOW.

Seattle (Sunny Side Up)

We never sat down and sang and danced our hearts out! Kenny was laughing after and said he felt like he was there chaperoning his 3 teenage daughters.. ha. I definitely lived it up with my girls! Ad and I even traded friendship bracelets with other fans. Swifties are the sweetest people! I loved everyone I talked to that night. Even the boys had the best time. We have all been singing her songs nonstop this past week! It was a night we will never forget.

Seattle (Sunny Side Up)

Seattle (Sunny Side Up)

We didn’t travel far but that was hands down one of my favorite family trips. :)

Bathroom Organization & N sale favs

*affiliate links used
Amazon Makeup Organizer (Sunny Side Up)

{artisan vase/faux tree branches}

July is flying by in a blink isn’t it!? Crazy how some months go by so quickly while others (I’m talking to you January/February) feel like a never ending slog. Ha. I guess that means we are enjoying summer and I hope you are doing the same! I feel like my moto this summer has definitely been play hard/work hard. We have been having lots of fun in the sun with friends, but I have also been working hard to get a few things organized around here and I’m happy to be sharing a new solution that is making me happy in my bathroom!

Amazon Makeup Organizer (Sunny Side Up)

{bathroom counter organizer}

I mentioned a while back in a post that I was loving this bathroom counter organizer. It really has been such a good solution for me! I had my vase & branches on a tray in this space, but I noticed that I kept putting my most used items on the tray to make life easier and it always looked cluttered and messy. So I ditched the tray! It’s happily living somewhere else now and this cute acrylic bathroom counter organizer is doing a much better job of holding often used items AND looking beautiful.

Amazon Makeup Organizer (Sunny Side Up)

{acrylic Q tip holder}

I love having Q tips close when I’m putting on my make-up (for some reason I’ve never learned how to put mascara on without getting it all over my eyes) and this cute acrylic Q tip holder keeps them tidy and accessible. It’s the little things. :)

Amazon Makeup Organizer (Sunny Side Up)

{marble heart tray/flowerbomb perfume/TNS serum/sheer renewal cream/extreme recovery cream/vitamin c brightening serum/retinol eye serum/complete eye cream}

Then I just have my every day jewelry in my little heart tray, my favorite perfume, makeup brushes, and all of my favorite skin care products that I use at night and in the morning on the organizer also. It really does make life easier to have my most used items easy to access! (*Sidenote – I just noticed while I was linking my skin care favorites that Colleen Rothschild is doing a Christmas in July sale – 25% off right now!)

Amazon Makeup Organizer (Sunny Side Up)

Plus this organizer is just so cute and stylish. I love the gold grommets on the side! This is a great solution if you are short on drawer space in your bathroom and it could also be used under the sink to hold items that aren’t as pretty to display. I’m a fan!

Fall Clothes (Sunny Side Up)

{makeup brush trio set}

Two days after I took pictures of my little organizer my new makeup brushes from the N sale came in the mail! So excited about these. I’ve had my previous foundation brushes for years and they were starting to fall apart. (I also have a foundation brush I really like that is similar to this in my drawer.)

Fall Clothes (Sunny Side Up)

{crewneck sweater/farrah raw hem high waist bootcut jeans/luissa bootie}

Here are a few more N sale favs I ordered that finally arrived! These farrah raw hem high waist bootcut jeans must be the best kept secret of the sale because they are still in stock in most sizes! You know my love affair with AG jeans.. hands down the best fitting jeans for my body type. If you have curves or gain weight in your butt/thighs you will love these. They are so flattering! You might love them if you don’t gain weight in your butt/thighs too, I just wouldn’t know about that because that’s not the case here. Also I hate you and we can’t be friends anymore.

;)

Fall Clothes (Sunny Side Up)

{havana friendship chain/mini paperclip chain bracelet}

Very excited about some jewelry I picked up at the sale this year! I always wear a few bracelets on my left wrist and these are going to be my new go-to’s. Both so beautiful and I love them paired together.

Fall Clothes (Sunny Side Up)

{mini paperclip chain necklace/mini paperclip chain bracelet/havana friendship chain}

I got the matching paperclip necklace to go with the bracelet too. So pretty and delicate! They would make beautiful gifts also.

Fall Clothes (Sunny Side Up)

{crewneck sweater/farrah raw hem high waist bootcut jeans/luissa bootie/leather moto jacket}

I wanted to share this cute leather moto jacket too because it’s such a staple for me! I’m sure many of you recognize it (or own it!). It was part of the N sale a couple of years ago and they keep bringing it back no doubt because it’s a favorite. I have loved it! I wear it all year and it’s my go-to jacket for football games in the fall. It’s leather but lined with a soft sweatshirt material and hood making it so soft. I got my regular size going for a more fitted look and just wear thin long sleeved tops under it, but if you want to wear sweaters under it I would go up a size. A splurge but definitely worth it!

Amazon Makeup Organizer (Sunny Side Up)

Wearing it in these pics we took on Addison’s birthday in May. :)

Amazon Makeup Organizer (Sunny Side Up)

Fall Clothes (Sunny Side Up)

{central drapey shirt/farrah raw hem high waist bootcut jeans/luissa bootie/mini paperclip chain necklace/mini paperclip chain bracelet/havana friendship chain}

This is another favorite shirt from the sale! It’s oversized so I went down to an xxs and love the fit, but some reviews say that it shrinks when you wash it. I will wash mine and report back! It’s so big I actually wouldn’t care if it shrunk a little, but if you’re worried about that order your regular size. I LOVE the style and color for fall!

Fall Clothes (Sunny Side Up)

{alna v-neck sweater/farrah raw hem high waist bootcut jeans/luissa bootie/mini paperclip chain necklace/mini paperclip chain bracelet/havana friendship chain}

Another Madewell win! Such a cute sweater and it comes in pink too!

Fall Clothes (Sunny Side Up)

{quarter zip pullover/farrah raw hem high waist bootcut jeans/luissa bootie/mini paperclip chain necklace/mini paperclip chain bracelet/havana friendship chain}

Ok – this quarter zip pullover was one of my favorites from the sale this year and I didn’t share it immediately because it sold out SO quickly in all colors, but they just re-stocked it! YEA! It’s so comfortable and cute! It’s on the short size but perfect to pair with high waist jeans/pants.

Fall Clothes (Sunny Side Up)

I know I will live in this when it cools off. Very tempted to get it in black or green too while it’s such a great price! (It’s oversized – I went down a size to xxs)

Fall Clothes (Sunny Side Up)

{cleo balloon sleeve top/farrah raw hem high waist bootcut jeans/luissa bootie/mini paperclip chain necklace/mini paperclip chain bracelet/havana friendship chain}

This cleo balloon sleeve top is another favorite top from the sale that you might remember from my initial collage round-up of the items I was most excited about. I wish it would have come in sooner to share because it looks like the black is sold out and the other colors almost are too. I’m hoping they re-stock it, but if not this is one top that is worth buying at full price when it comes back after the sale (in my opinion!). It’s so beautiful! I just can’t get over the sleeves. One to watch for and I’ll share it again if they re-stock it!

Fall Clothes (Sunny Side Up)

{funnel neck cotton blend sweater/farrah raw hem high waist bootcut jeans/luissa bootie/mini paperclip chain necklace/mini paperclip chain bracelet/havana friendship chain}

This funnel neck cotton blend sweater is another great find if you like turtlenecks like I do!

Fall Clothes (Sunny Side Up)

So soft and I love the sleeves! It comes in lots of color options.

Fall Clothes (Sunny Side Up)

{funnel neck cotton blend sweater/farrah raw hem high waist bootcut jeans/luissa bootie/mini paperclip chain necklace/mini paperclip chain bracelet/havana friendship chain}

Same sweater in black! It’s another oversized sweater so definitely go down a size. (This is xxs and still a little big!)

Fall Clothes (Sunny Side Up)

The sleeve has a slit in it giving it a fuller look at the bottom. CUTE.

Fall Clothes (Sunny Side Up)

{v-neck rib sweater/ribbed crewneck sweater}

Two other sweaters I love from the sale this year! (The blue and orange are the same sweater.) These are both cropped but work great with high waisted pants.

Fall Clothes (Sunny Side Up)

{dri-fit racerback tank}

I didn’t have time to try this on to show you but this tank is so cute too! It has a built-in bra and is a great fit. I went up to a small in this one (my regular size felt a little too tight).

Fall Clothes (Sunny Side Up)

{long sleeve performance tee/zella live-in joggers/similar adidas sneaker}

These live-in joggers are long time favorites they brought back to the sale again!

Fall Clothes (Sunny Side Up)

{rounded v-neck tee}

They also brought back these tees that I live in! I have multiples in all colors. I’m actually wearing one right now as I type this post.. ha! They are perfect to layer with cardigans and vests or just to throw on to clean, run errands, etc. I sleep in them all the time too. :) This year they also came out with these similar tees that have more of a sharp v-neck vs. the rounded v-neck so I ordered a couple to try!

Fall Clothes (Sunny Side Up)

{cast iron double grill/marble and wood serving board}

They brought my cast iron grill back too! Love this for grilling chicken and vegetables. Also here is another pic of the beloved marble and wood serving board. It’s back in stock in black! After I shared it in this kitchen post full of N sale decor favs it was sold out for a few days.

Fall Clothes (Sunny Side Up)

{adidas top/adidas shorts}

I haven’t had time to share my kids’ favorites from the sale, but this is my favorite outfit I got for Kole this year. I can’t believe he is going into 8th grade next month! I have to say that so far middle school has been a breeze with this child! I was so worried after going through the middle school years with two girls. I had my combat boots ready and was gearing up for ALL the drama. Every day I picked him up from school and he had a smile on his face. (What!?) I would say “how was your day bud? Everything ok with classes? Everything ok with friends? Is everyone getting along?” And every day it was the same thing. “It’s good mom! All good. School is good. Teachers are good. Friends are good. But mom.. the girls my age. What is WRONG with them!?”  

Ha ha..

I told him if he wants my advice I’d steer clear until high school. We mellow with age. ;)

Walmart Favorites (Sunny Side Up)

I hope your week is off to a good start! We just got back from a quick weekend trip to Seattle. We were only there 3 days but packed a lot in including the Taylor Swift concert.. so good! I’ve been on a high from that night ever since! I’ll share a few pics soon. We got home late last night so today was an unpack, clean, laundry, grocery, re-group sort of day. While I was cleaning I snapped a few pictures of recent favorites around the house that I’m excited about! Starting with this cute new rug for my mudroom. I actually ordered this rug for my backyard (and it still might end up there!) but I opened it in my mudroom and it just sort of looked like it belonged and wanted to stay.

So I let it. :)

Walmart Favorites (Sunny Side Up)

{geometric linen & ivory rug}

I love this rug because it’s such a great neutral and works with everything, but the pattern adds a little something extra. I usually have a runner against our locker drawers in this room, but my runners always get in the way of the garage door so it’s fun to mix it up and add a larger rug for the room like this sometimes.

Walmart Favorites (Sunny Side Up)

Door clearance.. check!

Wicker Bar Cart (Sunny Side Up)

{drinking glasses/serving set/condiment board set/gap playful pattern dinnerware set/large wood acacia bowl/round charcuterie board/square charcuterie board/rectangle condiment tray}

I shared these entertaining favorites in a recent post and have been using them non-stop this summer!

Walmart Favorites (Sunny Side Up)

Especially these 3 go-to’s.

Walmart Favorites (Sunny Side Up)

{serving set/large wood acacia bowl/condiment board set}

Cute serve ware isn’t it!? Whenever I think of summer the first thing that pops into my head is snacks. NON-STOP snacks. Ha. I feel like fixing snacks is about all I do in a day and I know most moms can relate! I put this together in minutes today before I picked up Kole and his friends from a morning camp. I can get snacks here so quickly with Walmart.com and it has saved me time and time again this summer (especially on days like today when we have no food in the house!). When I order groceries on-line from the app I love their substitutions feature. You can choose what product substitutions you do or don’t want (so you always know exactly what you are getting), place the order and then pick it up or have it delivered. GAME CHANGER.

Walmart Favorites (Sunny Side Up)

Snacks on the upstairs deck today! I moved these cute outdoor canopy chairs up to this spot about a month ago after enjoying them by the pool for a while. They have been a great solution to add more shade to this sunny spot!

Walmart Favorites (Sunny Side Up)

{outdoor canopy chairs}

This deck if off of my girls’ bedrooms and they love chilling out here with each other and friends. I can always hear laughter coming from this deck when I’m in the kitchen with the window open and it makes me smile! I love having my girls both home and together again.

Walmart Favorites (Sunny Side Up)

Walmart Favorites (Sunny Side Up)

{metal tray end table}

I recently ordered this little end table that’s perfect for outdoors and exactly what we needed to hold snacks and drinks. It’s a great price, durable and can be used indoors too! So cute.

Walmart Favorites (Sunny Side Up)

{serving set}

I love that this saving set has a spot for toothpicks. It’s the little things. :)

Walmart Favorites (Sunny Side Up)

While we’re talking Walmart favorites here are a few more I’ve been loving. :)

{serve tray bowl set/mason jar beverage dispenser}

Wicker Bar Cart (Sunny Side Up)

     {these ribbed tumblers/this oval iron tray}

Wicker Bar Cart (Sunny Side Up)

{medium sized tray}

This little bar cart is the best! I’ve only had this a few weeks and have already used it several times.

Fall Favorites (Sunny Side Up)

{BHG stripe rug}

Another great neutral Walmart rug. This pic was from last fall but seeing the mini white pumpkins makes me excited for things to come! I have absolutely loved this rug. Very durable and the stripe works with everything.

Fall Favorites (Sunny Side Up)

{BHG blanc de blanc dinnerware}

This set of dishes is another favorite and so good for the price! They are beautiful, great quality and I love having them displayed out on shelves when we aren’t using them.

Fall Favorites (Sunny Side Up)

Love the two toned look. So good!

Fall Favorites (Sunny Side Up)

{pumpkin bowls}

Fall is around the corner and my cute pumpkin bowls are back in stock! Definitely favorites and they sold out quickly last year so I had to share.

Enjoy your day and I’ll be back soon! :)

Summer Entertaining with MacKenzie-Childs

*This post is sponsored by MacKenzie-Childs. All product selections and opinions are my own! 

Mackenzie-Childs (Sunny Side Up)

I’m so excited to be sharing some happy news with you all today! MacKenzie-Childs is having their biggest and best sale of the year July 20-24 with up to 60% off some of their most treasured items! I was slightly giddy when they reached out to me to help share the news because I have always admired their dishes from afar (especially their Courtly Check Collection!). Black and white checkers? Yes please! These pieces are beautiful, timeless and just FUN.

Mackenzie-Childs (Sunny Side Up)

{two tier sweet stand /everyday bowl – extra large/abundant bowl/pedestal platter – large}

I love to entertain and can’t wait to use this fun collection for ALL the get togethers. This black and white pattern works so well for holidays like Halloween and Christmas! You can easily add pops of orange or red or any color any time of year to create a new look. I chose these 4 items to kick off my collection because they are large and perfect for hosting. I love the cute two tier stand and the abundant bowl is perfect to hold large salads.

Mackenzie-Childs (Sunny Side Up)

Mackenzie-Childs (Sunny Side Up)

This collection also doubles beautifully as decor and adds a pop of personality and fun to any space! I’m excited to style these dishes in my pantry and on kitchen shelves.

Mackenzie-Childs (Sunny Side Up)

{everyday bowl – medium/everyday bowl – large/everyday bowl – extra large}

These bowls in 3 different sizes can be used in so many ways. I love the gold rim on the top!

Mackenzie-Childs (Sunny Side Up)

{simply anything bowl/flower pot/pitcher/practical pitcher – medium/round tray}

A few more favorites. I love this flower pot and the two styles of pitchers. They would all look cute holding flowers too!

Mackenzie-Childs (Sunny Side Up)

{pitcher/practical pitcher – medium}

Mackenzie-Childs (Sunny Side Up)

{simply anything bowl/two tier sweet stand}

These anything bowls look like little mini colanders (too cute!) and you can use them for so many things. Soup, fruit, nuts, snacks, etc.

Mackenzie-Childs (Sunny Side Up)

{two tier sweet stand}

This might be my favorite piece from the collection!

Mackenzie-Childs (Sunny Side Up)

{ice cream dish}

No wait.. these ice cream dishes are my favorite! It’s a tie. I adore them all. :)

Mackenzie-Childs (Sunny Side Up)

{triplicity}

Seriously though.. how fun is this for ice cream toppings!?

Mackenzie-Childs (Sunny Side Up)

I have a feeling these items will be used by my family the most. We love ice cream with our movie nights! Especially in the summer. We have been staying up so late every night watching movies together because we can sleep in a little most mornings. :) Not ready for summer to end!

Mackenzie-Childs (Sunny Side Up)

{ice cream dish/two tier sweet stand/mini pedestal platter/ baguette dish /triplicity/paper napkins}

I set these cute dishes together in less than 5 minutes and had a beautiful display ready to host!

Mackenzie-Childs (Sunny Side Up)

Mackenzie-Childs (Sunny Side Up)

Fast forward a few hours to our evening movie party and it’s time for ice cream and treats! My kids were so excited when they got home and saw this out on the counter. I said “I know right.. aren’t these dishes just beautiful!?

Come to find out they were just in it for the gummy bears and doughnuts.

Mackenzie-Childs (Sunny Side Up)

Mackenzie-Childs (Sunny Side Up)

And the oreos. :) Ha. What a shock.

Mackenzie-Childs (Sunny Side Up)

I love this collection and know I will use it again and again for years to celebrate time together with family and friends.

Mackenzie-Childs (Sunny Side Up)

I can’t think of anything sweeter. :)

You can check out the sale along with other fun MacKenzie-Childs collections here!

Summer kitchen styling (N sale home favs)

Summer Kitchen Decor (Sunny Side Up)

{hanover pendant/mumbai rug/mantel mirror}

I hope you had a good weekend! We had a lot of friend activities and get togethers. So much fun, but now I need a day to recover. After a weekend of socializing I’m all about nesting quietly in my house with a good podcast. Ha! Not likely with the kids all home, but it sounds amazing doesn’t it!? :) Speaking of nesting I added a few of my N sale home staples to my kitchen last week and I’m loving the overall summer vibe! All of my favorite boards are back in the sale this year (and they added a couple more!). Serving boards, platters and bowls always make the best kitchen decor. At least that seems to be the case in my kitchen. :)

Here are my favorite boards/bowls from the sale this year:


Summer Kitchen Decor (Sunny Side Up)

{linen gauze throw/softest throw/in the wild throw blanket/cozy ribbed throw}

These are the throws I came home with/have and love! The “linen gauze” throw is so beautiful in person! Perfect for the end of a bed – I’m going to use it in my master bedroom. The “softest throw” with fringe I actually bought a few weeks ago before the sale (never fails!). It’s beautiful draped over a chair or couch. I picked up another for a friend’s birthday gift. The “in the wild” print throw I’ve had for a few years and it is hands down my favorite throw to relax with for movie nights. I ended up buying my family all their own barefoot dream blankets for Christmas so they would stop stealing mine! I picked up a “cozy ribbed” barefoot dreams throw to use for a future gift for someone. They are always a hit. Lots of beautiful throws in the sale this year!

Back to the kitchen! One way I love decorating with boards and platters is by layering them on shelves or on my kitchen counter. Easy access if you want to use them to entertain plus they add a lot of style, dimension and visual interest. I placed this black marble serving board against my backsplash and then layered the smaller marble & wood serving board and it added so much personality to this spot!

{similar rattan wrapped candle/fern leaf plant/marble & acacia wood cake stand}

This beautiful marble & acacia wood cake stand is included in the sale this year and I have loved mine! It has been sitting next to my stove for over a year now. I love switching out the candle and items I place on top of it for different seasonal decor. Beautiful cake stand!

Summer Kitchen Decor (Sunny Side Up)

{round marble & acacia wood serving board/wood rectangle boards/wood pizza board/marble & acacia wood cake stand}

You’ve all seen my round marble & acacia wood serving board. I’ve had the wood and white marble board for years and this year I was excited to add the black to my little collection. :) They are both so beautiful!

Summer Kitchen Decor (Sunny Side Up)

{oil & vinegar dispensers}

{marble lazy susan/glass storage canisters with wood lids}

My marble lazy susan is another N sale favorite from past years. If I don’t have it out in my kitchen I use it in my panty. It always looks beautiful! Very tempted to get the black lazy susan too this year. I’ve loved having the white lazy susan sitting in this kitchen corner holding the oatmeal. :)

Summer Kitchen Decor (Sunny Side Up)

{citrus framed art/dish towel/large minka textured pot/faux olive branches}

Sidenote: my citrus framed art is finally back in stock!

Moving along the kitchen counter..

Summer Kitchen Decor (Sunny Side Up)

{11 inch wood serving bowl}

This wood serving bowl is another Nordstrom favorite that is on sale! I’ve had it for years and use it mostly to hold fruit. I love the light shade of wood.

Summer Kitchen Decor (Sunny Side Up)

{11 inch wood serving bowl/14 inch wood serving bowl}

I snapped this pic with my phone (ignore the bad lighting!) to show you how the two sizes of bowls compare. I love them both! Long time favorites at my house.

Summer Kitchen Decor (Sunny Side Up)

{11 inch wood serving bowl/marble serving board/rattan glasses/black cheese board}

Another board layered on a board. Clearly it’s a theme around here. :) This white marble serving board is the same as the back board I shared on my gold tray. They are so heavy and beautiful.. amazing quality for the price! A great gift idea too if you want to stock up on a few to have on hand. I’ve done that with marble boards in past years.

Summer Kitchen Decor (Sunny Side Up)

{faux eucalyptus stems/santorini vase}/ceramic footed bowl/similar bowl here & here/tondo rectangle serving board}

I put this vase and stems together to go in my entry, but I set it here on my kitchen counter while I was moving things around and then added some limes I had bought for my diet coke to this black bowl. As soon as I saw my faux eucalyptus stems next to the lemons and limes I knew they weren’t going anywhere for a while. Hello summer perfection!

Especially when you add the diet coke. :)

Summer Kitchen Decor (Sunny Side Up)

So that’s it! A few of my N sale favorites throughout the kitchen. Below are other HOME favorites from the sale this year. YEA that everyone can shop the sale now! A lot of my favorite clothes from the sale are still in stock! You can see them here:

Sunny Side Up - Erin (thesunnysideupblog.com)

Happy Saturday! The weekend is here and my white roses are still blooming! Two things that are making me smile. :)

I’m sharing a few more favorites from the N sale today! If you missed my first try on you can see it here. I also shared favorites for HOME, SHOES, SLEEPWEAR, JEANS, DRESSES and BEAUTY in this post AND favorites for TOPS, SWEATERS, HAIR CARE, COATS, JACKETS, ACTIVEWEAR, JEWELRY and GIFT IDEAS in this post.

Nordstrom Sale Try On (Sunny Side Up)

{mock neck rib sweater/lanie pleat front pants/similar shoes}

I fell hard for these pleat pants the second I tried them on. When I took them off and looked at the brand it made me smile. Madewell! I should have known.. I’m always drawn to their clothes! I’m wearing this cute rib sweater I shared in my last post, but I could easily wear a more cropped sweater or top because these pants are so high waisted. They are dressy but also casual. Flattering but also baggy. They are just COOL! A little long on me, but if I’m wearing shoes with a thick sole or heel they work great. You can easily dress them up or down.

Nordstrom Sale Try On (Sunny Side Up)

{chambray  minidress/white western boot/teardrop earrings/initial pendant necklace}

This dress! Definitely one of my top 5 items from the sale this year. It’s just such a cute fit and style! Very flattering the way it gathers at the waist and I love the feminine touch of the puffed sleeves and ruffles at the neckline. Nothing like a good denim dress and this is one I know I’ll have and love for a LONG time. When I recently cleaned out my dresses in my closet I kept all of my denim dresses! They never date or go out of style. The white western boots on the other hand feel a bit more trendy.. ha. But it’s a cute trend and I’m here for it. :) These boots are such a great price and come in a beige and brown too.

Nordstrom Sale Try On (Sunny Side Up)

{chambray  minidress/similar boots here & here}

I’m sure I’ll mix it up and wear brown tall boots sometimes too. And sandals and booties! So many shoe options with this cute dress.

Nordstrom Sale Try On (Sunny Side Up)

{tie front jumpsuit/similar tote/similar pumps here & here/ initial pendant necklace}

This jumpsuit is beautiful and I can’t wait to wear it on a fun weekend night out. It’s so lightweight and comfortable! I love the cute tie in front and I also love that it doesn’t have pockets so that it’s a sleek fit in the pants. It also comes in a beautiful maroon that is perfect for fall!

Nordstrom Sale Try On (Sunny Side Up)

{flutter sleeve rib knit tee/mother flare jeans/luissa bootie/initial pendant necklace}

Love the dressy sleeves on this cute casual top! Wear it to dress up your jeans or pair it with a cute skirt or slacks for a dressy look. It comes in this maroon shade and white and black.

Nordstrom Sale Try On (Sunny Side Up)

{flutter sleeve rib knit tee/mother flare jeans/luissa bootie/initial pendant necklace}

I got it in black too. :)

Nordstrom Sale Try On (Sunny Side Up)

{flutter sleeve chiffon blouse/mother flare jeans/luissa bootie}

This flutter sleeve top has a looser fit and is also beautiful! I love the way it ties at the neck.

Nordstrom Sale Try On (Sunny Side Up)

{flutter sleeve chiffon blouse/mother flare jeans/luissa bootie}

It also comes in multiple colors and is very lightweight so a perfect top to transition into fall.

Nordstrom Sale Try On (Sunny Side Up)

{satin mini shirtdress/similar boots/initial pendant necklace}

I knew I would love this satin dress as soon as I saw it on-line! A very similar fit as the chambray dress I shared above. The satin material is so cool and soft! It would be cute with heels, but I really love it with tall boots for fall. It comes in black too. Isn’t fall fashion the best!? Hands down my favorite season when it comes to clothes.

Nordstrom Sale Try On (Sunny Side Up)

{pleated cap sleeve mini dress/similar boots here & here/initial pendant necklace}

Last dress of the day! (I told you I was excited about the cute dresses this year!) This pleated dress is too cute. It’s a good length on me, but it would definitely be a mini dress if you are taller. It comes in a red shade also and I adore the pleats and overall simplicity. So many fun Steve Madden finds in this year’s sale! I’m now a fan. :)

N Sale Try On (Sunny Side Up)

{max styler flat iron/ T3 luxe brush set/stylemax dryer}

Quick sidenote.. I shared these 3 purchases I’m excited about in my last post but have to tell you that I tried the max styler flat iron and WOW! SO good you guys! My hair in the photos above is proof! It’s so stick straight and that was clean hair I had just washed. My hair is so thick and naturally curly that it usually only looks that straight on day 3 or 4 after I have straightened it several times. Never on day one! I was also able to straighten my hair a lot faster than usual. I’m so excited about it! Another top 5 purchase this year (maybe my #1!). I just wanted to share that in case you are debating purchasing it. If you have long/thick hair and like to wear it straight sometimes it is so worth it!

Sunny Side Up - Erin (thesunnysideupblog.com)

Enjoy your day! May you be as happy as Kole is spinning on his pool wheel. Ha. This isn’t as easy as it looks and we have been cracking up trying to get the hang of this in the water. It has kept Kole and his friends entertained for hours!

Sunny Side Up - Erin (thesunnysideupblog.com)

Another purchase well worth the money. Happy entertained kids in the summer = a happy mom!

Good hair days help too.

N Sale Try On (Sunny Side Up)

{white western boot /layne western bootie/luissa bootie/retropy e5 sneakers/

 hoff memphis sneaker/shearling scuffetta slipper}

Here we go with N Sale Try on round one! So much to love this year. Let’s kick things off with shoes! I had so many favorite shoes this year but many of them were so similar to shoes I already had so this is what I came home with.

N Sale Try On (Sunny Side Up)

{white western boot /layne western bootie/luissa bootie}

The tall white western boots are definitely not something I already own! I’m planning on sharing those with my girls. :) I was surprised how much I loved the western booties. They are so cute on! The luissa booties were a splurge. SO comfortable and classy and will work with pretty much everything.

N Sale Try On (Sunny Side Up)

{layne western bootie}

Really excited about these. So cute and unique!

N Sale Try On (Sunny Side Up)

{retropy e5 sneakers/hoff memphis sneaker/shearling scuffetta slipper}

I wear boots and booties a lot on the weekends when I go out, but most days during the week I live in sneakers and the two above were my favorites this year! I have so many Ugg slippers that I really wasn’t going to buy these scufettas, but I tried them on in the store and honestly they might be my #1 favorite purchase this year. They are hands down my favorite pair of Ugg slippers! SO soft and cozy like all Uggs but what is unique about this pair is how light they are. Most of my Ugg slippers are heavy. These are light as a feather and my feet don’t over heat because of the open style. I came home from the sale and put them on and haven’t taken them off! Then I ordered a few more for gifts. If you are debating them DEFINITELY get a pair!

N Sale Try On (Sunny Side Up)

 {hoff memphis sneaker – color San Diego}

These sneakers come in so many fun color patterns! This was my favorite and when I went to link it for you I noticed the color is called “San Diego.” How about that. :)

N Sale Try On (Sunny Side Up)

{universal sandal – tevas}

I also picked up these tevas because I’ve never owned a pair and every summer when we are hiking to waterfalls or rafting or doing anything like that I wish I had a pair! Set for our next adventure. :)

N Sale Try On (Sunny Side Up)

{medium transport leather tote}

I have to say that I was really disappointed in the purses this year. Aside from this Madewell tote (which you all know is my bag of choice!) and this tote that I love (but I have one that is similar from this sale a couple years ago) I didn’t see much I was very excited about. Thrilled to have a light color in my forever favorite Madewell bag though and isn’t the strap cute that you can take off or keep on!?

N Sale Try On (Sunny Side Up)

{FP long sleeve top/mother flare jeans/retropy e5 sneakers/teardrop earrings}

It looks like this top is almost sold out, but I’m linking it because I’m hoping they bring it back before the sale ends! My Nordstrom didn’t have my size in most jeans I wanted to try so I ended up ordering a few jeans that I will share after they come, but this was my favorite pair that did come in my size from the store. I love the wash and the length! Very comfortable and flattering too.

N Sale Try On (Sunny Side Up)

I think they are supposed to be a shorter length, but for short girls like me this is how the length fits. (I’m 5/3 1/2.. don’t forget the half.) ;)

N Sale Try On (Sunny Side Up)

{fleece crewneck sweatshirt/fray hem bootcut jeans/hoff memphis sneaker/teardrop earrings}

This is a cute pair of jeans I’ve had for a while and still need to get hemmed! (Not on sale but also a great fit.) This sweatshirt is so cute and comfortable I want it in black too!

N Sale Try On (Sunny Side Up)

{terry knit hoodie/fray hem bootcut jeans/hoff memphis sneaker/teardrop earrings}

I knew I loved this hoodie when I saw it on-line but I loved it even more after I tried it on! The material is so soft! Perfect for cool evenings (which is every evening in San Diego!).

N Sale Try On (Sunny Side Up)

{mock neck rib sweater/mother flare jeans/luissa bootie/teardrop earrings}

This mock neck sweater is a 10/10 and one of my favorite tops from the sale this year! I love the material and fit.. so good. I usually wear xs but sized up to a small in this because I liked the way the sleeves fit better one size bigger.

N Sale Try On (Sunny Side Up)

{caslon boat neck sweater/mother flare jeans/luissa bootie/teardrop earrings/initial pendant necklace}

I didn’t even notice this sweater on-line because it looked similar to so many I already have, but when I put it on I fell in love! It’s so soft and comfortable and the neckline is incredibly flattering! This is one I could definitely own a few colors in and wear often. (Trying not to do that this year though since I cleaned out my closet. Be strong Erin.) ;) 

N Sale Try On (Sunny Side Up)

{oversized shirt jacket/mother flare jeans/retropy e5 sneakers/teardrop earrings/initial pendant necklace}

I’ve had a hard time getting into the whole “shacket” trend because most oversized flannels and jackets like this look seriously ridiculous on me! Ha. But I was pleasantly surprised when I tried this on and loved the look! They didn’t have xs in my store (wearing small here) so I ordered it a size smaller to try. It would look cute with leggings too and is very soft and warm!

N Sale Try On (Sunny Side Up)

{cutout mock neck sweater/mother flare jeans/similar booties/teardrop earrings}

This sweater is absolutely beautiful! The material is so nice and the cutout adds a fun touch!

N Sale Try On (Sunny Side Up)

{stripe crewneck sweater/mother flare jeans/similar booties/teardrop earrings/initial pendant necklace}

Maxwell sweaters never disappoint! This one is lightweight and so cute! Perfect to transition into Fall.

N Sale Try On (Sunny Side Up)N Sale Try On (Sunny Side Up)

{brendon shirt/mother flare jeans/similar booties/teardrop earrings/initial pendant necklace}

I took this cute oversized shirt to my fitting room thinking I would get it for my girls, but after I tried it on I decided I’m sharing it too! Such a cute fit and I love the soft colors for fall.

N Sale Try On (Sunny Side Up)

Really long in the back which I love too. Ignore the fact that it needs to be ironed! I was racing against the clock with this post.. ha. :)

N Sale Try On (Sunny Side Up)

{v-neck  rib sweater/similar AG jeans/western bootie/teardrop earrings/initial pendant necklace}

This little sweater is so cute I actually did pick it up in a couple other colors! (Going to make myself return at least one of the three.. I just can’t decide between this color, blue and cream!). It’s also lightweight and looks really cute with high waisted pants.

N Sale Try On (Sunny Side Up)

{graphic t-shirt/fray hem bootcut jeans/hoff memphis sneaker/teardrop earrings}

Had to pick this shirt up for my husband who is a huge fan. :)

N Sale Try On (Sunny Side Up)

{olaplex no 4 shampoo/olaplex no 5 conditioner}

A few other purchases I’m thrilled about. These bottles are larger than I thought they would be! Such a good deal!

N Sale Try On (Sunny Side Up)

{max styler flat iron/ T3 luxe brush set/stylemax dryer}

This is my favorite blow dryer (I got one for my girls for Christmas!). If you have long/thick hair you will love it! I’m excited about these new brushes and I can’t wait to try this 2″ ghd flat iron! It’s also made for thick and long hair so I’ll let you know what I think. I has to be pretty impressive to match my love of all things T3. :)

N Sale Try On (Sunny Side Up)

{olaplex no 4 shampoo/olaplex no 5 conditioner/mac lipglass / blush duo/mascara duo/eyeshadow & mascara set/mac lip kit}

These are a few of the make-up kits I bought to both use and to give as gifts.

N Sale Try On (Sunny Side Up)

I also picked up a few of these cute jewelry boxes for gifts! I love the black pretty things cover and the size and that necklaces won’t tangle! These cute square jewelry boxes are darling too for gifts! Perfect for travel. I had to order me and my mom the lemon box. :)

That’s a wrap on my first try-on! I’ll share more soon (including home favorites!) along with some organizing going on around here.

Always a good thing.

:)

N Sale & Prime Favorites Take 2!

Faux Branches (Sunny Side Up)

{faux eucalyptus stems/santorini vase}

The sales continue and I’m back with a few more favorites! I wanted to share these faux branches from Amazon that I mentioned were on sale in yesterday’s post. Aren’t they beautiful!? So realistic and the leaves are buttery soft! I love the way they drape and fall to the sides. A 10/10 and I’m so excited about this little arrangement with my new vase. I love that it will transition so easily and work in the fall too! I’ll share where it’s landing soon. :)

Amazon and Nordstrom are definitely my top go-to’s for pretty much any and everything so today will be busy and I’m going to try to not do too much damage. Maybe just a little damage. A little damage is ok right?

Asking for a friend. ;)

I’m going to share more Amazon Favorites on sale in my next post, but below are a few things I either have and love or that I’m buying on sale! Below my Amazon favorites I’ve rounded up Nordstrom favorites for HOME, SHOES, SLEEPWEAR, JEANS, DRESSES and BEAUTY. I’ll share the rest of my round-ups tomorrow! I’m heading into Nordstrom to check everything out in person and can’t wait to share my favorites once I’ve tried things on. I’m going to be picky about what I bring home because I’ve been working so hard to de-clutter my closet! I’m determined to only buy things I really love and will wear often. After going through everything on-line (which is no small feat with this sale.. ha) I’m the most excited about the jeans and dresses this year! So many fun options I can’t wait to try! I’m a little disappointed in sleepwear (you know I love a good pair of pjs!) but I do love the look of this lounge set. I’ll be back with favorites soon!

Wicker Bar Cart & Entertaining Favorites

*This post is sponsored by Walmart. All product selections and opinions are my own! 

Wicker Bar Cart (Sunny Side Up)

It’s mid July and we are in full on summer mode at our house! The house is messy, the pool is hopping, the snacks are never ending and we are staying up crazy late watching movies every night. Pure bliss! Other than the messy house. But I can roll with that for the sake of July.

August is a different story. :)

I want to introduce you to a recent favorite for outdoor entertaining!

Wicker Bar Cart (Sunny Side Up)

{wicker bar cart}

When I first saw this wicker drink cart on-line it was love at first sight! I had actually been debating a very similar drink cart to use by our pool that was a lot more expensive. I was hesitant to buy it and I’m so grateful I didn’t because I love this even more and the price was so good! I also love that it has wheels on one side. It’s so easy to move around!

Wicker Bar Cart (Sunny Side Up)

{mason jar beverage dispenser}

It’s just the right size for dinks, glasses, a few snacks or drink toppings. Perfect for a day of swimming or just visiting outside with friends!

Wicker Bar Cart (Sunny Side Up)

If you check this bar cart out on-line you’ll see that it actually comes with a cute wicker tray that I know I’ll use often too. This past weekend I used this cute serve tray bowl set. The bowls are the perfect size to hold fruit for the drinks! (This would also be cute for hamburger or ice cream toppings!)

Wicker Bar Cart (Sunny Side Up)

I set these ribbed tumblers out on this oval iron tray. I love the look of these tumblers and that they don’t break. Ideal for kids!

Wicker Bar Cart (Sunny Side Up)

The oval iron tray I used on top looks cute with this medium sized tray that’s perfect to hold ice and drinks. (It comes in a large size too!) I love the rattan detail around the handles on all 3 trays. Adds a little something extra. :)

Wicker Bar Cart (Sunny Side Up)

So fun for warm days by the pool! When my kids have friends over to swim everyone is usually in and out of the kitchen getting drinks. This will be so handy to use for drinks or snacks or pizza or whatever we’re serving and it keeps the kids outside! Maybe I’ll end up with a clean house in July after all? :) I’m excited to use this when we have friends over too. Aside from drinks it’s perfect to hold a salad or hamburger toppings, etc. when it’s time to BBQ.

Wicker Bar Cart (Sunny Side Up)

These are a few more entertaining favorites from Walmart! Some of these items I’ve had a while and a few are recent finds I’m excited about.

Wicker Bar Cart (Sunny Side Up)

{drinking glasses/serving set}

The tumblers I shared above won’t break and are perfect for kids, but if you want some nice drinking glasses this is a beautiful set of 8 for a great price! I’m always looking for serving sets to use for healthy snacks in the summer and love this white and bamboo set. It even has a little spot in the middle to hold toothpicks for the kids. :)

Wicker Bar Cart (Sunny Side Up)

{condiment board set}

This condiment board set is so much fun! Cute with the bowls but you could also take the bowls off and use the stand for decor. It could hold anything from a plant and candle to hand and dish soap by the sink to a cake when it’s time to party! It’s giving me warm, earthy vibes so perfect for fall entertaining/decor too.

These are great melamine dishes for every day I’ve had for a while (cute patterns on the bowls!) and I’ve loved this large wooden bowl for salads.

{round charcuterie board/square charcuterie board/rectangle condiment tray}

Favorite boards for every day! You might remember that I gave several of these to friends for Christmas gifts last year. Such a good price on stylish charcuterie boards! The fun rectangle condiment tray is another outdoor dining staple! All of these beautiful serving options make it so fun to entertain don’t they!? Makes me want to have friends over for a BBQ stat! I just need to convince my husband to come up with the actual food. ;)

Cheers to staying hydrated in the summer! In style. :)

N sale, closet progress and the 4th!

4th of July (Sunny Side Up)

{denim side tie dress/flip flops}

Happy Saturday! I hope you had a good week and a good holiday for all who celebrated! We spent the 4th in SLC with family again this year. Nothing like a good parade. :) It was a quick trip but so much fun. Sharing a few more 4th pics at the end of this post!

But first.. the N sale is next week and the sale preview is up! Who else is excited!? I’ve spent so much time going through everything and rounding up favorites in each category for us all and if you haven’t looked yourself yet let me tell you.. the sale is GOOD this year. A lot of repeats from past N sales, but there are also a lot of new items out for Fall that are SO cute! I’m having a really hard time narrowing down my wish list.. ha. Always the case with this sale! You can view everything HERE and start adding things to your wish list so you are ready to check out when it’s your turn to shop! Here is the breakdown of shop dates..

N sale dates

I’ll be sharing lots of favorites throughout the week and here is my first round-up!

1- blanket   2-serving board   3- shearling slipper   4- cap sleeve sweater

5- zella hooded jacket  6- eyeshadow set   7- makeup brush set 

8- olaplex shampoo / olaplex conditioner   9- flat iron   10- wool longline coat

11- faux suede jacket   12- knee high boots   13-mary knee high boot

14- jewelry box   15-madewell tote   16- suitcase   17- cleo top

18- sneaker   19-paige high waist jeans   20- mother wide leg jeans

Like I said.. so hard to narrow things down, but if I had to this is my wish list after previewing everything on-line! My favorite T3 hair tools are part of the sale again but I also have my eye on this ghd 2 inch wide flat iron with great reviews! My marble/wood serving board is such a favorite that I want it in black and you can never have too many Madewell totes in my opinion. :) I always get new eyeshadow and a new Natori bra each year (forgot to include that one in my collage but this is my all time favorite and the only bra I wear). I’m absolutely in love with the look of this wool coat! I’ll have to try it on to see if it’s too long on me. I’ll definitely be stocking up on my favorite Olaplex shampoo and conditioner and I need these sneakers in my life! Kenny says I sometimes have a hard time distinguishing wants from needs but he’s a little confused. I completely understand the difference and the sneakers? A need all the way. ;)

More favorites are coming! What are you seeing and loving this year!?

Organized Closet Progress (Sunny Side Up)

{BEFORE}

I was really hoping to get my closet organized before the N sale this year but it’s not done and I’m giving myself some grace because of travel and well.. just summer. Each day is an adventure with the kids home right!? I am slowly making progress though so I’m going to celebrate along the way! I went though my dresses last week and that is something that I have been wanting to do for over a year! This is the “before” with way too many dresses smushed together!

Organized Closet Progress (Sunny Side Up)

I told myself I would just spend 15 minutes going through them but of course it took longer. Which is FINE! That’s part of the beauty of the 15 minutes a day organizing plan. It helps get you STARTED which is the hardest part! Once you’re in the zone you’re set. :) I ended up trying on most of my dresses and this is the donate pile.

Ready for the after?

Organized Closet Progress (Sunny Side Up)

{AFTER}

Hello singing angels. I’ve missed you. :)  So much better right!? I only kept dresses I really LOVE and wear often. If I wasn’t sure I asked myself “If I had an event to go to tonight (RIGHT NOW!) would I be excited to put on this dress?” With a lot of my dresses my answer was no. We keep so many clothes because they look cute or were expensive or will hopefully fit again when we lose weight. It’s crazy! If you aren’t excited to put something on right now because it’s not comfortable or doesn’t fit right or you just don’t love it anymore, you won’t wear it and it’s just taking up precious space in your closet. And by “you” I mean me! I’ll be honest.. keeping my master closet organized is really hard for me! Clothes spark major joy and I need to do a better job of donating items more often. The best way to stay organized is to have LESS to organize. Understanding and admitting my problem is the first step and I’m determined to really edit each section of my closet and only keep clothes I absolutely love to wear!

Just in time to add a few new “needs” in from the N sale. ;)

4th of July (Sunny Side Up)

{denim side tie dress/red gingham romper}

A few more pics from our 4th! I shared these pics in stories and had questions about our clothes. My sister’s outfit is sold out and so is my denim dress in most sizes, but the red gingham romper my sister in law is wearing is still in stock! It comes in black too.. so cute! Love these two. Thanks for the crowns Car. ;)

{coffee table}

My sister’s beautiful home. I love her clean modern style!

4th of July (Sunny Side Up)

She broke a bone in her hand playing tennis and has to have surgery but still managed to cook a huge feast for us all and keep the kids entertained with treat bags, games and a piñata. Superwoman! I’m so grateful she does this every year! It’s the best all being together and the kids all agree that the 4th of July at Aunt Carly’s house is hands down their favorite vacation.

4th of July (Sunny Side Up)

I’m just in it for this dip. ;)

{wood place card holders}

She used these cute place card holders to hold pictures of past 4th of Julys along the table for dinner. Such a cute and creative idea right!?

Happy July!

Favorites & Sales (Sunny Side Up)

{patriotic table}

I hope your month is off to a good start! I love July. For me July is the month that represents TRUE summer. June starts off a little hectic with the school year ending and then it’s always such a cold and cloudy month in San Diego! By July our sun is back and we are starting to really enjoy family and friend time with both vacations and lazy days at the beach or pool. August brings all things back to school with it so July is the month I try to really cherish and enjoy. It always goes by too quickly!

Favorites & Sales (Sunny Side Up)

{black ruffled bowl/white ruffled bowl/rattan bowl/black trinket dish}

I have so many fun favorites and sales to share today! First up these beautiful ruffled bowls came in that I mentioned I ordered in this post. Perfect for adding design and texture to anything you are styling! I’m still patiently waiting for this version to come and I’ll share the difference in white bowls when it gets here. This rattan bowl is another recent favorite. So pretty and perfect to hold fruit in the kitchen! I also adore this black trinket dish.

Favorites & Sales (Sunny Side Up)

{black trinket dish}

It will not only add style to your coffee table, console table or shelf, but it’s also a perfect size to hide random objects like the remote control! I love the textured handle too.

{puff sleeve top}

This cute blue top is another favorite that has been on repeat lately!

Favorites & Sales (Sunny Side Up)

I have it in cream and last summer it was hands down my most worn top so when I saw that this year they came out with it in blue and black I had to get the blue. I get so many compliments every time I wear this top in either color! I would have bought it in black too except I’m organizing my closet at the moment and trying to take clothes OUT vs. add more in.

This is why I struggle with closet organization. I love clothes too much!

{puff sleeve top/pilcro flare jeans/slide sandal}

Date night with my babe – picture taken by our 13 year old son. Door is a little crooked but I was just impressed we were still in the frame so I’ll take it. Ha. We were not trying to match the porch and look patriotic, but it happened so I’ll take that too. ;)

*sidenote on the top.. true to size but I’m wearing my size in petite. I like it better because the length of the top and the sleeves are a little shorter. If you want a longer fit go with standard or tall. 

Favorites & Sales (Sunny Side Up)

{travel bottles}

I’m excited about these cute travel bottles I recently ordered! The set I’ve been using leaked on me last time (hate that when something spills all over in your make-up bag!) so I’m trying this set. They are supposed to be leak free! Plus I love the size and color.

Travel Make Up Bag (Sunny Side Up)

Perfect addition for this beloved travel bag!

Amazon is killing it in home decor aren’t they!? You can find so many beautiful items and have them at your house the next day. It’s down right dangerous isn’t it!?

I know my husband thinks so. Ha. I have several items in the collage above and want everything else!

Favorites & Sales (Sunny Side Up)

{woven leather tote/ramona slide sandals}

I have loved this bag this summer and it’s on sale with so many other fun items from Madewell! It’s their big summer sale and many items are 30-60% off. Here are a few favorites. I’m really wanting one of the pairs of sneakers!


1- floor lamp   2- metal sconce

3- striped throw blanket   4-wall baskets   5- tray

Beautiful new arrivals at Pottery Barn and some are marked down!

Favorites & Sales (Sunny Side Up)

Because most of July is spent in the pool with friends over I always order several pool floats and games for the kids. A few arrived last week and started taking over my house before they were even blown up. Ha.

Am I the only one with a large inflatable duck and watermelon raft on their kitchen floor?

These were the two Kole picked out in case you were wondering. :)

Favorites & Sales (Sunny Side Up)

This full face snorkel mask is a long time favorite that Kole still loves in the pool. I don’t know that I would recommend this for real snorkeling, but for a pool toy the kids love it!

Favorites & Sales (Sunny Side Up)

Favorites & Sales (Sunny Side Up)

We had to order two because friends always want to wear one too!

Favorites & Sales (Sunny Side Up)

This ball catch set has also been a hit with the boys. Easy to use in or out of the pool! Below are all of our Amazon pool/yard favorites if you need something fun for the kids! The only item below that we haven’t tried yet is the pool wheel. We ordered that one and will report back. :)
