Knotted Camo

Shannon Jenkins of Upbeat Soles styles a cute spring transition outfit with knotted camo shirt, Levi's wedgie jeans, and suede Sam Edelman booties

Happy Friday Eve babes! Is it me or did this week just fly by?! Although we got another cold front today the beginning of this week was super warm and felt like spring! This look is perfect for the warmer spring transition days! I scored this super fun knotted camo tee at a local boutique. I love a good tee with a little twist (no pun intended ;)) I paired it with my favorite pair of distressed Levi’s and suede booties. As for the accessories, I threw on a straw hat and round sunnies. I feel like a straw hat is just a must for spring and this one is so good! I hope you all have an awesome weekend! <3

Spring Sunnies

Happy Hump Day and Ash Wednesday babes! Can you believe spring is right around the corner?! I am so excited for future beach days and with beach days means cute sunglasses! You know how much I love my Ray Bans and I love these black and metal aviators! I love a good retro look and these ones are giving me all the 70s vibes and are under $20! Speaking of an amazing deal these Celine dupes are so good! They look just like the real deal that are $500 but for under $15! If you are looking for more of a statement pair of sunnies I love these two tone ones! I hope you all have a fabulous Wednesday! <3

Happy Monday loves! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Our’s was fun but super busy! We had a Mardi Gras party, went to a local Porchfest (where a bunch of local bands play on porches in Historic Downtown Sanford), and got together with family from out of town. Hopefully we have a pretty easy week ahead to recoup since Sawyer is pooped haha! I wore this outfit to Porchfest since it was pretty chilly! I am obsessed with this Rolling Stones tee! The leopard tongue is so unique and I love that the leopard detailing is velvet! So cute! I paired it with this a leather moto jacket to up the rock and roll vibes and threw on some black ripped skinnies and studded booties. I hope you all have a wonderful week ahead! <3

Happy Friday Eve ya’ll! I cannot believe it is almost the weekend! This week has been super warm but we are supposed to get a cold snap tomorrow! Since the weather has been so warm I got a chance to wear this adorable dress I scored at a boutique while we were in Charleston. I love the dark florals and pops of orange! I wanted to keep this look super casual so I threw on my studded combat boots, which are also super comfy and perfect for the weekend! I just love how they look with dresses too! As for the accessories I threw on a back hat and my favorite sunnies. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! <3

Currently Craving Jewelry

Happy Hump Day babes! I hope you all are having a fabulous week! I really have been keeping my jewelry pretty minimal lately, especially because Sawyer loves to tug on it and almost ripped out an earring once, (yikes!) but I have been craving some new jewelry lately! I may just have to keep it for date night haha! I actually just got these new hoops form the Kendra Scott Spring collection and I am obsessed!! They are the perfect size, not too big, not too small, and I love the drop hoop look! I love a good dainty bracelet and I need this cute evil eye one! I’ve been all about the cute ear climbers lately (especially because Sawyer can’t rip them out ha!) and how fun are these ones?! I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday! <3

Leopard & Suede

Shannon Jenkins of Upbeat Soles styles an easy winter weekend outfit with leopard wrap top, high waisted jeans, and Sam Edelman suede slouchy boots

Happy Monday babes! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend or hopefully your weekend is still going for President’s Day! Our’s was a lot of fun! We took Sawyer to the aquarium which he LOVED, had a movie night, and then yesterday got some house work done. Griffin has off today too so we will probably do some much needed relaxing! The weather has been crazy here, cool one day warm the other, but I have been taking advantage of the cooler days to get a few more wears out of my boots before spring! I just love my slouchy suede boots paired with this fun, wrap leopard top! The smaller print is super cute and a little more subtle if you are just getting into the trend. I kept things simple by finishing the look with a crossbody and sunnies. I hope you all have an amazing start to your week! <3

Sawyer’s Rockin’ First Birthday

Shannon Jenkins of Upbeat Soles talks about her son's rock and roll first birthday with rock and roll cake and cookies and photobooth

Happy Friday Eve ya’ll! We had the most amazing time Sunday celebrating Sawyer’s first birthday! I did so much planning and crafting and it was so fun to see it finally come together! We did a rock and roll theme since Sawyer is obsessed with the guitar and music. My favorite part was definitely the dessert table with the most amazing cake from Nat Just Cakes and cookies by A Peace of Cake by Taryn. They are both local ladies that bake out of their homes and I can’t believe how talented they are! We also set up a photo booth with lots of fun props! A big guest favorite (and not just by the kids) was the tattoo station. I got a bunch of temporary tattoos and everyone had the best time getting inked! Some even went a little crazy ha! As for the guest book I had everyone sign some records for a keepsake. I was so happy how everything turned out and everyone, including Sawyer if you can’t tell by his picture, had a great time! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! <3

6-12 Month Must Haves

Shannon Jenkins of Upbeat Soles talks about 6-12 month baby must haves with best baby push walker, best sleep sack, and best baby sippy cup

1 // 2 // 3 // 4 // 5 // 6 // 7 // 8

Happy Hump Day babes! We’re almost to the weekend! Sorry I was MIA Monday. We were SO busy prepping for Sawyer’s party and then so busy the day of we didn’t get a chance to shoot any outfit photos but I will be sharing all about his party tomorrow! It was definitely so much fun! Now that Sawyer is 12 months I thought I would do a post on some of our must haves for babies 6-12 months aka some of Sawyer’s favorite things for the past months! Scout has been one of Sawyer’s favorite toys since the beginning! When he was littler he would love to listen to the songs and look at the flashing collar. Now that he is older he loves to push his paws to play the songs over and over again and dance haha! If you all follow me on Instagram you know Sawyer is OBSESSED with his walker. He pushes it all over the house all day long! One of my absolute must haves once your baby is sitting independently is this hook on chair for going out to dinner. I am a bit of a germaphobe so thinking of putting my baby in public high chair kind of freaks me out so this is so handy! I pair it with this silicone mat and you don’t have to worry about them touching the table either. If there were a number one item it would have to be books! Sawyer LOVES looking at books and could do it all day haha! One of his favorites is his First 100 Words book because of all the fun colors and pictures. He loves to point to all the babies! I hope you all have an amazing Wednesday! <3

Paisley & Suede

Happy Friday Eve loves! Thank goodness it is almost Friday! This week has been a week! Sawyer has been sick AND his big birthday party is Sunday! I am praying he starts to feel better soon and it is a short lived cold! I got some fresh elderberry that I have been giving him and I’ve been trying to get him to rest as much as possible, which is easier said than done ha! Also praying Griffin and I don’t catch it! Although I am so excited for his first birthday party! I have been planing it for months now and I am excited for it to come together! You only tune one once! ;) Today I have the perfect spring transition outfit! This boho paisley dress is just so good and you will never believe the price! I paired it with my slouchy suede boots and finished the look with some round sunnies. I hope you all have a fantastic weekend! <3

Living in Florida and it being warm 90% of the year I basically live in sandals and can never have too many!
