Spring stylin'

Spring is here! Which for Portland usually means lots and lots of rain (though we've been having plenty of sunny days too). Shopping for clothes when spring comes is like hitting the jackpot for me. I feel so stifled by huge jackets all winter and in spring I feel like I'm finally wearing clothes again... maybe thats just me ;)

I cleaned out my closet (hello spring cleaning) then picked out some springy staples from Zappos a couple weeks ago and here's what I ended up with. Of course, some might not consider an all-black ensemble very springy but its totally "in" and I love it so I'm going with it. You'll find me in all-black most days of the week, its how I roll!

High-waisted jeans // Free People - I've been eyeing some like this for ages and I love these ones! They come in petite too which is perfect for my shrimpy self!
Crop-ish Top // Free People - I love a good swingy top and I wanted one that shows of the high-waisted jeans!
Nude D'orsay flats // Chinese Laundry - These are my favorite flats in the world (I own them in two colors). They literally go with everything!
I also got these no-show socks to wear with booties. Must-have for sure!

And for Beck I snagged a pair of baby hunter boots because they are SO stinkin adorable and extremely practical for the wet weather round here.

Zappos strikes again! Seriously, I love this company, especially how much thought and care they put into customer service. I hopped on their live chat service a couple weeks ago to ask a question and the guy I talked to was a rockstar. So helpful and nice and talked to me like a real person (not the overly formal, robotic crap).

And yes... I changed my hair big time. More on that later...

A few of my favorite things: Munchkin Diaper Pail

Babies + stinky diapers. It's a thing and it happens every day (or multiple times a day if you're Beck) and the older they get, the worse it gets you know? So if I had to pick the most practical and best baby gear item in Beck's room right now the Munchkin arm & hammer diaper pail would always win.
I am forever amazed that this thing can be full of diapers and even when you're standing directly over it there is no smell wafting out. It self-seals, sprinkles baking soda on top each time it closes and it actually works like its supposed to, which makes my life as a mom incredibly easier. 15+ months later and I'm still impressed with this thing!

I also love that its super plain and sleek, because lets be real, baby stuff can be pretty hideous and the more you have in the room it can feel crowded and cluttered. The simple design fits perfectly into any room and I've never felt like it needed to be hidden or something.

If you've got kiddos in diapers or one on the way, get yourself one! They are da best!
