NDM Style : The Perfect Cross Body Purse

Since becoming a mom of two I have been all about the cross body purse.  It keeps your hands free when trying to tend to two kiddos.  I usually carry a cross body and then have a tote bag filled with diapers and such for Frances in my car.  Ever since purchasing my clutches from the Gigi New York sale, I have been smitten with them and the quality.  This Gigi New York Elle cross body bag is no exception.  It is from their new pebbled leather collection and it is amazing, not to mention the perfect shade of blue- although it comes in many different colors if blue isn't your favorite.  I also really loved the tan color.

Elle Cross Body Bag

For my birthday last weekend I carried it to the Firefly Distillery.  I went neutral with the rest of my outfit because I was feeling springy and felt like it really made the blue pop.

and excuse my serious face, I prefer to smile but was feeling silly after my wine.  I was channeling my inner Tyra Banks.  This at least gives you a close up of my outfit.

The shoes are my Dolce Vita Daffodil Sandals.  I am telling you they are the best color tan sandals and comfortable. If you live locally stop in Thera M they carry these other Dolce Vita styles.  They are comfy and go with everything. and love my Rag and Bone blush colored jeans.  A must for Spring!

But back to the purse it is truly awesome if you need a cross body bag.   The inside is big, I can fit my big wallet, phone, sunglasses case, keys, lipsticks and there is still room. 

It is a great everyday to night purse!

Tuna + Prosciutto Quiche

I have said it before but I love a quiche.  It is such an easy week night dinner to whip together plus it is filled with protein and healthy.

This quiche came about as way to clean out our fridge and it was really tasty.  The Prosciutto really made the quiche pop and gave it great flavor so don't skip it!  You could easily sub bacon if that is what you have on hand.  Also if you aren't a fan of tuna you could use canned Atlantic salmon or chicken.  Really any meat would work.  The combo of the veggies and meat in this quiche was really tasty!

Enjoy!

Obsessions

|| ALEXANDER McQUEEN TEE SHIRT DRESS ||

Loving this simple tee shirt dress, the pattern is so fun.  It would be awesome for everyday wear.

|| PIM AND LARKIN IKAT SHORTS ||

I just love a fun printed short for the Summer.  They are so effortlessly chic.  These would look so cute with a white tee and sandals.  Best part they are only $49!

|| SAM EDLEMAN GENETTE SANDALS ||

I have been finding so many fabulous summer sandals lately.  Love these SE ones, the gold cuff makes such a statement.

|| EIGHT SIXTY ROSE SNAKE SKIN DRESS ||

I have been all about some phython print lately.  This is the perfect summer dress and it is a steal under $100!

|| ZELLA PARADISE TEE ||

I love a loose fitting tee for exercise. Clingy shirts make me uncomfortable.  This zella one is perfect for pilates, yoga, running, or just casual wear (because you all know I love to wear workout clothes even when I don't have intentions of working out).

|| BB DAKOTA CAMILLA SHORTS ||

I am huge fan of jean shorts in the summer.  Love this lighter wash from BB Dakota and the higher waisted style.

|| GORJANA V NECK LACE ||

This is such a great everyday necklace you could wear it alone or layer it with other pieces.

 || MARA HOFFMAN ONE PIECE ||

Such a stunning one piece.  Mara Hoffman always does the most amazing prints.  The back of this suit is equally stunning!

|| GAP SMOCKED BOW DRESS ||

I love dressing girls in blue.  This dress from Gap is so precious. I love the modern spin on smocking and the bow details.  Use code DEALFORU to get 35% off your purchase.  Also love this camo jacket for Sterling.

Scenes From Our Weekend

Happy Monday!  Thank you all for all the awesome comments from my post Friday!  I felt a little vulnerable sharing all that stuff but loved reading every single comment I got!  You know how to make a girl feel loved on her Birthday.  Today marks my first day as a 34 year old and I am ready to embrace this age and have a fantastic year!

I have been wanting to go do a tasting at the Firefly Distillery forever and finally talked Matt into going for my Birthday weekend.  We went with Caycee and Todd and had the best time.  They do vodka and wine tastings for only $6.  It was fun to taste the different vodkas and wine they make out there and see where it was made.  Such a fun thing to do if you are a local.

Afterwards we all bought a bottle of wine and sat outside and enjoyed it!  It really is gorgeous out there!

Afterwards we hit the Fat Hen for the most delish jalapeno margaritas, fried pickles and burgers.

My mom and sister surprised me with a camera for my Birthday.  I seriously use my iphone for all my pictures.  I never wanted to invest in a big camera because I knew I wouldn't take it anywhere with me.  This camera is small, has incredible zoom features and you can upload right to instgram, fb and the web straight from the camera.  It kicks ass.  A great camera if you are looking for a new one.

The weather was so warm this weekend I was finally able to wear my new Lauren Lail Library Josie Shorts.  Her shorts are my favorite because they are comfy and can be dressed up or down!  I love the new floral pattern this year.

 The kids were so adorable this weekend.  I love now that Frances is getting older she recognizes Sterling and just loves him so much.   She gazes at him and just giggles when he talks it melts my heart.

 

My in-laws gave me a vase of the prettiest azaleas from their yard.  I just love azaleas.

Ended the weekend with alot of snuggles with these two.

Have a fantastic week!
