Happy May! I was making an appointment today for “the end of May” and I realized we’re already in May and it blew my mind. This year is going by even faster than normal but I guess that’s what happens as you get older. I’m currently trying to map out our summer, mainly Crosby’s activity calendar, and can’t believe it’s right around the corner. Today I want to share my top five sellers from April.

Forever 21 Quilted Jacket – I purchased this in black at the end of March and then it sold out. They brought it back in April in a few pretty spring colors and every time I mentioned it I saw how quickly they were selling. It’s super soft (like a heavier sweatshirt), comfy, warm and looks like a much more expensive version. They’re running a promo right now – 25% off when you spend $85+ with code BMSM25 // 20% off when you spend $60 with code BMSM20 // 10% off when you spend $50 with code BMSM10

Seagrass Glasses – I purchased these last year and used them so much. They’re glass but I love them for outdoor. The seagrass part comes off making them easy to wash. They also come in a low ball version.

Agolde Jamie Jeans – One of my favorite pairs of distressed jeans that seem to get better with wear. I’ve had these for a few years now and wear them all the time. They’re more of a splurge but Agolde is one of my favorite denim brands – plus I wear them all the time which makes the cost per wear much lower.

Peixoto Pom Pom Dress – Such a cute and fun coverup with the pom pom details and open back. There’s even a version for little girls so you can twin!

Abercrombie Crochet Square Neck Tank – Love this for spring and summer. The square neckline is on trend and the crochet is so pretty. It’s lined almost all the way to the bottom so you don’t have to worry about it being see through.

It’s Way Day – AKA Wayfair’s biggest sale of the year. I actually didn’t know this was a thing until a few years ago when I got an email from them about it. I took advantage and made some of my very favorite purchases that year and have loved the sale ever since. Today I want to share items I personally own and love available on Wayfair.

Black outdoor bar stools – We purchased these for our outdoor bar addition last summer. They’re durable, easy to clean and I love the style.

White tulip dining table – A simple but classic dining table that seats four.

Faux hide rug – We’ve had this for years – I love the colors.

Mid-century inspired arm chair – A newer addition to our den. Love the style of these chairs and they’re pretty comfy too.

Babyletto Hudson crib – I fell in love with this crib when I was pregnant with Crosby and knew it was the one for her. It converts into a toddler bed and she slept in it until last summer.

Nuloom Moroccan rug – We have this in our bedroom – it’s cozy and goes with everything.

Navy and white striped umbrella – There’s something about navy and white stripes that remind me of summer. They’re classic, clean and never go out of style.

Outdoor lounge chairs – This was one of the purchases I mentioned I made a few years ago on Way Day. My favorite place to lounge in our backyard. They are so comfortable.

Babyleto Gelato crib – I wanted a different style crib for Wilder but knew it had to be Babyleto. Love the light wood and style of this one.

Round jute rug – Purchased this last summer to go under the lounge chairs. It really brings the space together.

Nursery Works rocking chair – I’ve rocked both babies in this chair and it’s still in Wilder’s room. I’ll be sad when the time comes where we don’t need it anymore.

Brown leather pouf – This was purchased with the rocker for a foot rest. It’s classic and will be in Wilder’s room for years.

Sputnik chandelier – When we first bought our house I couldn’t wait to install a sputnik in our dining room and was so happy the day this one went up.

Tribal area rug – We’ve gone through two other rugs in our living room but this one has been my favorite. I love the pattern, texture and way it brightens the space .

Light tan leather pouf – These are the same style as the darker brown one in Wilder’s room but in a lighter softer shade I love for our living room.

I just got some cute new things in for spring and summer from Judith March and wanted to share! They also gave me a discount code – ASHNFASHN gets you 20% off anything on their site. 🙂

Wilder turned two the weekend before last and I’m still in shock! With everything that has happened in the world over the last year it feels like an extra blur. He is non-stop and so much fun. He loves singing, dancing, doing whatever “Sissy” is doing and any kind of ball. Plays hard and loves hard and as much as I want to keep him a baby, he’s growing everyday and turning more into a toddler.

We did a family party at home for his birthday with our parents and I wanted to decorate with beach balls. Jeff and I DIY’ed the decorations a couple of hours before everyone came over and everything was so simple. The theme was “2 much fun” and that describes Wilder perfectly. I linked everything at the bottom of this post.

Shopbop’s big sale started yesterday and I always head into the sale with the same motive and that’s to snag any of the higher end pieces I’ve been eying. It’s a buy more, save more sale so the more you buy, the more you save. I like to invest in staple items like high end denim, swimsuits, sunglasses, a nice dress, etc. You get free shipping and free returns so if you don’t love something in person you can easily send it back. Today I want to share items I own and love as well as a few things I’m eying in the sale.

Somehow the first week of April has flown by and gotten away from me. Between all the Easter fun and planning for Wilder’s Birthday (Saturday) it’s been a little hectic. I couldn’t let too much time pass without sharing my March top five sellers. As usual the list is a mixed bag – a few home items, accessories and clothing. I’ll break it all down below!

Fire pit – We’ve had this fire pit for a few years and have been so happy with it. It’s not huge but still a good size. It also comes in gray and i almost wish we went with that color.

Lounge chairs – One of my backyard favorites. I purchased these on sale three years ago and love lounging on them when we’re in the backyard… or when I sneak back there while the kids are napping.

Sunglasses – Jeff and I both got a pair of these a few years ago and still wear them all the time. I think they’re so versatile and flattering on everyone. I love the hexagon shape and they seem to go with everything!

Quilted jacket – This is a hot item. It keeps selling out but they’ve been restocking it here and there. I do want to note it runs really oversized, I purchased a small because xs was not available and it’s very roomy.

Round straw tote – I used this quite a bit on our desert weekend last month. It’s lightweight and a great size for all your sun essentials – would even work if I was with the kids and was lugging their things around.
