About a month ago (yeah- that’s how behind on blog posts I am) Jade and I went to the beach on the day that was the warmest of 2015 (I would say the high was like 80). We were beyond thrilled and since Jade has a car, we drove down to Fort Tilden with swimsuits on and all. Once we got there, it was pretty damn cold. I seem to always get so hopeful and forget that near the water it’s about 10 degrees cooler. Despite it being pretty cool though, we committed to our journey (that’s the kind of girls Jade and I are) and had a damn blast! We took some photos, drank Pampelonne that I snuck onto the beach, and talked about old times. When I first moved to New York with Jade, we had a similar beach day where we went a little prematurely and froze our butts off at the beach! It’s these memories that I truly cherish with Jade. She’s down for any journey and together we always make the most of any situation. Love this babe for life.

After our little trip, we went to Calexico in Greenpoint to grab some Mexican on their porch outside and enjoy some drinks! It was the perfect ending to the day.

Now to talk about my outfit here. I am wearing a dress I thrifted from Crossroads trading. I love getting summer dresses at Crossroads because there are typically SO many! I’m also buying everything white this past month! I’m not sure why.. I’m typically scared of ruining it,but I’ve been all about it lately! I wore this huge hat I thrifted recently in Williamsburg with these perfect Boden flats. I mean C’MON. These flats are perfection and such a good mixup from the usual flats!

I wore this pineapple swimsuit (finally!) made by Kortni Jeane! Her swimsuits are mix and match with so many flattering shapes. She also had a scale-mermaid-y one that I’m dying for! If you’re looking for a good, flattering new suit, check her stuff out!

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 

No purchase necessary. Open to all 50 US & DC residents, 18+ (19+ in AL/NE). Ends 10/31/23. Rules, eligibility & entry deadlines: www.PureLeaf.com/NoGrants.
