I’m obviously super into stripes right now. I (happily) blame the summer. But while I’m seriously considering getting this striped bathing suit as my next striped purchase, I think I need to move away from the stripes for a bit. I tend to fixate on patterns and then I end up with a bunch of the same looking things in my closet. (Like how I went on that polka dot binge?)
Well, my friends, after visiting the new 789 Madison Kate Spade store a handful of times… I’m feeling myself just absolutely gravitating towards bows. #OmgBows
Some of my favorite things with bows that I’ve spotted online:
I love bows! I've been in love with them since I was … born, actually. I've cut back on wearing them because I start teaching high school this fall and it's hard enough to get high schoolers to take a 5'2" 22-year-old seriously without me wearing lots of bows. My favorite item, though, is a dress I got from Anthropologie yesterday – it's a navy-and-mint-striped dress, but on the back there are 3 bows! Striped and bows – can't go wrong.
basically my whole closet is stripes and polka dots. almost all navy and white. and i love bows for accessories. i have the kate spade bow earrings and i love them. and i have 4 bow belts. at least i'm easy to shop for?
Just found your page today! I've been into bows for a couple months now. It's kind of a problem haha. They're super cute though. On the hunt for a nice bow belt.
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.
you look GREAT *-*
good idea with the bow tie, I might try it out 😉

Love them! Wish I was in flashy NYC I might sport some KAte Spade, too 🙂
Love bows too! I have this gold bow necklace that I wish I could wear 24/7, but I'd cry if it broke so I try to refrain from constantly wearing it. 🙂

carelessly graceful
I too have an obsession with stripes. Bows are adorable and super fun for summer!
Happy Friday!
