Happy Monday babes! I hope all the mamas had a wonderful Mother’s Day! Dang this weekend went by WAY too fast! It was nice to get dressed up for Mother’s Day yesterday and enjoy some brunch with family. I have been obsessing with summer dresses lately and this red floral wrap dress is so dang good! The pattern is so pretty and you know how much I love a good wrap dress! They are also perfect for nursing mamas! I added a little pizzazz with some black studded sandals and then finished the look with round sunnies. I hope you all have a wonderful start to your week! <3

Bright Florals

Shannon Jenkins of Upbeat Soles styles a spring boho maxi dress from Chicwish with Dolce Vita wedges and Quay black sunglasses

Happy Monday loves! I hope you all had wonderful weekend! Is it me or do weekends go by way too fast when staying at home?! Yesterday was the first day in feels like forever I did my hair, makeup, and got dressed since I wanted to stop slacking and take some blog pictures! Of course it has been beautiful out for weeks and as soon as I got ready it started to rain ha! That’s what I get for trying to be productive right ;) I sucked it up and ran out there in the light rain and snapped some quick pics since I couldn’t let this rare moment go undocumented! I also could not wait to wear this gorgeous floral boho maxi from Chicwish! The colorful design just makes me so happy and so excited for spring! I also wanted to do something a little different with my hair so I pulled out my 3 barrel iron that I used to use ALL the time in college. I’ve been seeing so many other bloggers doing tutorials with it now so I think it’s funny that I just knew this style would make a come back! Or that’s what I am telling myself for keeping my iron for all these years ha! But I forgot how much I love this style and it will be perfect for the beach! #mermaidhair I hope you all have a wonderful start to your week! <3

Happy Friday Eve loves! Can you believe the weekend is almost here?! This week flew! Florida is finally getting some cooler weather and I could not be more excited! It is finally starting to feel like fall! I am loving this wine and leather combo with this gorgeous flowy maxi skirt! Chicwish has the BEST flowy maxi skirts and they pretty much have every color and print you can think of! I am in love!

Dark Florals

Shannon Jenkins of Upbeat Soles styles a fall maxi dress with a Chicwish long sleeve floral dress, lace up block heel sandals, and straw hat

Happy Friday Eve loves! The hurricane has officially passed and we were so fortunate it decided to stay off the coast and spare us! My heart just breaks for the Bahamas since they were not so lucky! Seeing the videos of the islands is just devastating and gut wrenching! Please if you are able to donate (even if it is bottles of water please do!). They have a long road to recovery! On a more cheery note I cannot get enough of this floral boho maxi! The long sleeves and the dark colors make it so perfect for fall! Also I am a sucker for a good button down detailing! I paired it with some lace up sandals and straw hat. I hope you all have an amazing weekend! <3

Family Pictures 2019

Shannon Jenkins of Upbeat Soles posts her family beach pictures with a baby and beach nursing pictures with Chicwish mustard maxi dress

Happy Monday friends! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Our’s was pretty uneventful, which was kind of nice! Last weekend we took some family pictures and I just love how they came out! So sorry in advance for the major oversharing haha! My friend was kind of enough to snap the ones of the whole family for us and then ones with just us and Sawyer we took of each other. I have taken so many pictures for clients at this spot that I couldn’t wait to finally snap some of my own family here now that we are a family of 3! We got a beautiful sunset too! This pleated mustard dress was perfect and had just the perfect amount of flow. I always suggest maxi dresses to clients for their pictures because they give them so much more movement! I hope you all have a wonderful start to your week! <3

I love the cute embroidery and tassel details! Also the cut is super flattering! I wanted to make this look super summery so I threw on some platform espadrille sandals and white hat.

Edgy Leopard

Shannon Jenkins of Upbeat Soles styles an edgy summer outfit with Chicwish leopard maxi skirt, band tee, and Sam Edelman studded sandals

Happy Monday babes! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! Ours was pretty laid back since we are still sleep training Sawyer. We did venture out of the house to celebrate my brother’s birthday and to go to dinner with some friends. Sleep training has been making me stir crazy but I know it will be worth it when we get him on a good routine and get him sleeping like a champ! So today’s look may be one of my favorites from this year! I am dying over this leopard maxi skirt! It is so flowy and fun! I paired it with a knotted black band tee to edge up the skirt and give it a casual vibe, but it would be so pretty dressed up too! To  keep things casual I threw on my studded sandals and black hat. Also today through tomorrow is Prime Day!! Check out my tab above or here to see all of my favorite items from the sale! Happy Shopping! <3

Coral Floral

Shannon Jenkins of Upbeat Soles styles a cute summer vacation outfit with a floral maxi dress with Dolce Vita espadrille wedges and pearl Amazon hair clip

Happy Monday babes! I hope you all had an amazing weekend! Ours was a little bit rough since Sawyer got the sniffles and has been sleeping horrible! I’m hoping it is related to his stuffy nose and not a regression! Praying he gets better soon so mom and dad can get some rest haha! On to today’s outfit! How gorgeous is the coral maxi dress?! I am obsessed with the mix of pattern and button detailing, which makes it a great nursing option! Also the colors are just too pretty! I paired it with some espadrille wedges, making this a perfect summer vacation outfit! I wanted to dress it up a tad so I threw in a pearl hair clip. I hope you all have a fabulous start to your week! <3

Eyelet Maxi

Shannon Jenkins of Upbeat Soles styles a summer vacation outfit with eyelet maxi dress from Chicwish, Dolce Vita wedges, and pearl hair clips

Happy Monday loves! Seriously did this weekend fly by or what! I think we need a re-do, do you agree?! If you follow my IG stories you saw I got my hair done and went a lot blonder! These pictures were taken before getting my hair done, but if you missed my stories I will show you later this week! It is definitely a fun change! How gorgeous is this white eyelet maxi dress?! I am so in love with it for summer! All the detailing is so gorgeous and I love that you can throw it on for a casual day with flat sandals or dress it up with some chunky wedges, like I did here. It would also be the perfect dress for a sunny vacation! I wanted to dress it up a little bit so I added some pearl hair clips. I think this trend is so cute and I found the best deal on Amazon for a 12 pack for only $10! There is such a great variety so you can mix and match them! To finish the look I threw on some round sunnies and my favorite crossbody bag. I hope you all have a wonderful week ahead! <3

Spring Colors

Shannon Jenkins of Upbeat Soles styles a cute brunch outfit for spring with rainbow maxi dress, lace up wedges, and AU-Rate initial necklace

Happy Monday babes! I hope you all had a fabulous weekend! We had a fun weekend celebrating my cousin’s daughters 2nd birthday and getting to spend time with family! I think Sawyer had fun at his first kids birthday party ;) So one of the big trends this spring is rainbow and I love that this dress has the rainbow feel without being too loud. It’s perfect for a causal brunch, beach vacation, or even could be dressed up with a pair of heels! The slits make it super flowy and add a little bit of sexiness! I accessorized with my new S necklace, for Sawyer not for Shannon ;) and layered it with a choker. AU-Rate has the most amazing dainty necklaces perfect for layering! I wanted to dress this look up a bit but also keep it pretty casual so I paired it with some lace up wedges. I love a good wedge or block heel because they help achieve that ‘I look really put together but didn’t try too hard’ look ;p! I hope you all have a fabulous start to your week! <3
