Our Life: Tate Gets Stitches

We had a rude awakening this weekend - literally. As Tate was on his way to crawl in our bed (something he does every night) he tripped and hit the bridge of his nose on the cheap metal bed frame that holds the box spring.

It was the scariest thing I have ever experienced. Head wounds bleed so much and at first I couldn't tell what the source was. I put pressure on it immediately while Steve rushed around getting ready to the hospital - which is when my body decided it was too much and almost gave out on me. My hearing went and my muscle pressure followed. It was all I could do to stay conscious. Somehow we made it to the car & rushed to the small local emergency room. We were the only people waiting (our first good luck). They stitched him up quickly and we were on our way home an hour later.

He is handling it like a champ, but I still get teary eyed thinking about that perfect face with a scar.

I know it's cliche, but parenting really is like having your heart walking around in the world. This kid is the best thing to ever happen to us, and I am just so relieved it wasn't something worse.

We'll be taking this week slow, but don't forget that today is a great day to find good deals in the retail world.

Spied: Asos Floral Wiggle Dress

I'm a huge fan of Asos dresses. I am especially fond of the wiggle style dress. The vintage inspired cut reminds me of something Jackie Kennedy would wear. I was so excited to see that two of my favorite prints are on sale right now.

Inspired: J.Crew First Look at Spring

January is a mighty strange time for fashion inspiration. After the holidays are over, all the retail companies gear up for spring. But seeing as there will be snow on the ground for several months more, it gets tricky. Even in my sub tropical climate, January & February are the chilliest months and are better suited to boots and sweaters than sandals and shorts.

This, in no way, changes my excitement for bright hues & spring styles. Here are the latest inspiration looks over at J.Crew.

That polka dot blouse? Forget about it!

Since we are talking J.Crew, I should mention that they are offering 30% off of their clearance section with coupon code STYLEFIND. Here are a few notable finds (all under $30):

Café capri in wool

Circle lace top

Peplum stripe top

Tissue turtleneck tee

Look for Less: J.Crew Jewel Teardrop Earrings

Long time reader, Tamara, sent me this fabulous look for less over the break.

Jewel Teardrop Earrings - J.Crew
Tang Floral Drops - Bauble Bar

The listed price at the Bauble Bar is $24, but if when you sign up for your first order, they give you $10 off.

I think these would be a pretty fabulous addition to a jewelry collection. Would you wear them?

Spied: Contrast Trim Button Front Cardigan

Did you all have a fabulous holiday? I sure hope so. I laid low and it was refreshing to have the break.

I was doing some shopping over the break and saw this adorable sweater and wanted to share.

Button-Front Stretch Cardis - Old Navy - $24.94

I think the green is especially fetching. It totally reminds me of this sweater from Kate Spade.
