This past Thursday, December 18th, was my twenty-third birthday. It’s always so bittersweet becoming a year older.. you think back on the past year and feel happy,but also sad that a year has passed. It’s such an odd feeling,but perhaps it’s just me who feels this way! But you guys, my amazing readers, wished me the sweetest happy birthdays! I got so many Facebook and Instagram birthday wishes that it made me remember how truly grateful I am to have you out there who just happen to be a fan of my personal style and taste. I remember being in high school and reading all of my favorite fashion blogs. These girls felt like my dear friends.. but I only knew their lives because of the internet. When their birthdays would roll around, I would feel so excited and happy for them on their special day. It dawned on me that I have readers who are in the same place that I was in before (and still am with my favorite bloggers!) and it made me feel really special. Thank you guys so much for keeping up with my posts and for being so kind. You are a huge part of what made my birthday special and make me so happy for starting my blog! I cannot thank you enough.

Now on a style note: this outfit was styled around this amazing blouse by of course Family Affairs! It’s also like the dress I posted, apart of their special holiday treats! So today they will announce a special sale on this blouse and be sure to follow their Instagram here to see. The perfect crystal blue is what I love most about this blouse. It’s so vintage! I paired it with a plaid skirt (you know how I love mixing patterns), black tights, and my Samantha Pleet boots. Finished it off with one last pattern from this Miss Patina coat! A perfect birthday outfit.

More posts from Rachel and I’s birthday party (yes, her birthday is the day after mine!) coming very shortly!

Love,

Noelle

My very first Mother’s Day as your mom my sweet My very first Mother’s Day as your mom my sweet Evergreen 🤍 you’ve changed my life forever & being your mom is always going to be the thing I am most proud of in my life 🤍 I remember right after she was born (this first photo) she was crying & I just kept saying “it’s okay baby, it’s okay” and I can’t even explain how surreal it was to be holding my baby in my arms. It’s hard for me sometimes to not feel like I’m counting down the Mother’s days my mom had with me.. thinking I only have 6 more. It reminds me constantly to be more present and make allllll the memories & don’t hold back. Being a mom is one of the hardest things I’ve ever done & also one of the absolute best, beautiful, meaningful things I’ve ever done. 🤍

A little love letter to this @sezane floral shirt A little love letter to this @sezane floral shirt of my dreams 💕🌷 this weekend is my first Mother’s Day and it has me thinking a lot about being a mom and weird little details. I used to think when you loved someone it meant you had every part of them memorized- you could pick out their hand in a line up or their lips. But with Ever I’ve realized it’s not like that- every single day she’s growing and every single day she wakes up a little bit different. It may sound silly but it’s been on my heart lately about how weirdly this feels like such an emotional part of motherhood that seems so simple but is something I never really thought about. #sezanelovers #sezanepartner
Motherhood is often seen as the ultimate balancing Motherhood is often seen as the ultimate balancing act - managing a career, maintaining a home, and raising children. But what if saying “no” could actually be empowering and give mothers the chance to say “yes”? #pureleafpartner 💕

That’s where the “No” Grants partnership with @pureleaf comes in. This program is designed to provide a little extra financial support to mothers who want to say “no” to the pressures and expectations that come with motherhood and “yes” to simplicity. With the “No” Grants partnership, Pure Leaf is empowering mothers to say “no” to doing it all and “yes” to simplifying life.

To learn more and apply for a “No” Grant, visit the link in my bio! #noisbeautiful
