Notice the new branding? Well, it’s really only the beginning. I have a few more things up my sleeves… so stay tuned!!!
I have been kind of driving myself crazy about the pink and green thing. The damask? I was over it. Way, way… way over it. Actually, this post was the initial brainstorm behind what I wanted to do. I kind of whipped up that post as a trial run. (Like how people tell you to write what you want as a tattoo on a Post-It and put it on your mirror?) I’ve been pulling it up every now and then to see if I still like it. Yep.
The day I pulled the trigger, it was completely spur of the moment. It was particularly HOT outside and I was just… inspired to go for it.
Leading up to that post, I had been pulling images on a secret Pinterest board. Here’s ultimately what inspired the new look:
I love the new look! I've been working on new layouts and things for my blog as well, and I completely get you mean about being frustrated and just going for it! xx
I love this! When we (my husband and I) redesigned my blog recently we went with mint and grey. They're my favorite colors and I just think they look perfect together. I adore your redesign, it's gorgeous.
Love the rebranding! I've been inspired recently by turquoise and gold glitter and decided to give my blog a new look using that combo. I'll have to start a moodboard for it now too! Thanks for the tip!
so much better – actually I recently commented on your instagram that I wasn't particularly fond of the pink and green either. loving the pink, gold and tortoise inspriation
I can't wait for you to revamp the site! You're so talented, I think you should have your own design/clothing line one day LOL. I'll be your #1 fan!!! Your Friend, Jess
Nothing says summer to me like finally being able to have dinner outside with our friends. We are gearing up for al fresco dining with @mackenziechilds pieces in their iconic Royal Check– the blue and white pattern couldn’t be more “me” and fits in perfectly with my summertime aesthetic. I especially love that each #mackenziechilds handcrafted piece has a unique signature of its own and no two pieces are identical. Don’t forget to use my exclusive code CARLYROYAL15 to save 15% off for the next 48 hours. Valid once per shopper. #MCPartner #RoyalCheckCollection
Move over coastal grandmother, it’s going to be a red hot summer for me ❤️💃🏻🔥 I am love-love-loving red lately and I am incorporating the hue more and more into my everyday outfits. It’s a little bolder than I typically go for and, even though I’m three months postpartum, I’m feelin’ it! 👉🏻 Leave a comment saying “red” and I’ll send you the links to my outfits featured in the Reel!
My little roar-bear and I made it through the fourth trimester together 🧸 These past twelve weeks have flown by. I can’t wrap my head around the fact that we only just met- I feel like I have known Rory my whole life.
I have been calling myself a Chill Mom™️ since having Jack and now I’m realizing that I’m even chiller with Rory. (Like is birth order really less about sibling order and more about the version of mom you’re born to?) I’ve been just rolling with Rory’s infancy and I’m so much happier. Maybe it’s just that I’m more tired with a toddler too, or know that it’s going to go by so fast, or just have more confidence… probably a combination. I feel less obsessive and less stressed out by the details. I’m “making it” without having to fake it. As an example, today I noticed I hadn’t tracked a single nap- just watching sleepy cues and trying to get to a “good enough” pattern as Rory’s naps consolidate. Is he following a ~perfect~ nap schedule? No. Are we thriving? Frankly, yes!
(If you want to read my original Chill Mom post, comment “chill mom” and l’ll send it to you via DM!)
We came, we saw elephants, we ate ice cream 🐘🦒🦓 @ashleybrooke and I always talk about how we became FAST friends. Somehow we have been right there with each other during some of life’s worst moments… so it’s extra sweet that we now get to celebrate the good ones! Watching our boys play together, a little baby in a stroller, and another baby on the way… it’s everything we dreamed of.
I love it! I think this is so much more you. The pink and green was awesome then, but everything and everyone grows!
Keep up the amazing posts! 🙂

Adorable! I'm so jealous of how fabulous your branding works. I need to work on my own branding!
