With the start of NYFW on everyone’s timeline, the SoP team thought now would be a great time to share the fall trends that we’re loving for the season- and that we’re certain you’ll be seeing for months. We’re all lovers of all things fashion around here, so we find it sooo fun to keep up with whats trending. We’d love to know if you’re loving (or hating) any of these trends and which ones you’ll actually try.

Nine months in to motherhood and I swear I learn something new every  single day. Lately, it’s been how many great children’s clothing brands exist that I’d never even heard of. So, I felt like August’s 10 Things was a great opportunity to (hopefully) introduce you and your kiddos to a few new brands as you start you thinking about back to school shopping!

Worth noting that he’s wearing Bambini Fashion in the pic above and you can save an additional 30% off sale items at BAMBINIFASHION with code MEGP through the end of July.

One of my most visited blog posts from last year was my 2021 Summer Reading List! I received soo many messages from you telling me how many you had read, which ones were your faves, and even what they made you think about.

After careful consideration, I’ve compiled another Summer Reading List for you! This one is a mix of books I’ve read and loved, but also books I’m looking forward to reading.

In honor of Black History Month, I wanted to highlight some of the women who didn’t just directly impact my personal style but impacted the style of our nation. Oftentimes, these women weren’t given the recognition or accolades that they deserved simply because of the color of their skin, but it is hard to deny how influential they are on today’s trends.

I’ve been a mom for just over two weeks now, so in no way am I going to pretend like I’m some sort of expert. I’ve met several challenges over this short period of time, though, and have had to find my way out of each of them . With intuition and a few key baby products that I’ve been using on repeat,  I’ve managed almost every sticky situation. So, for this month’s 10 things, I’m going to share the 10 things I couldn’t live without for my newborn.

Crazy to think my baby boy will be here literally at any moment. I know I’ve said it before, but my pregnancy has seriously flown by and I just cannot believe I’m this close to the finish line. While I’ve been doing my best to prepare mentally + physically, I’d be lying if I didn’t say my nerves sometimes get the best of me.  Everyone says I’ll be fine and learn as I go because at the end of the day, no one really knows what they’re doing.

It’s hard to believe that in a few short weeks I’ll be holding my baby boy in my arms! I’d be lying if I said my pregnancy hasn’t flown by. I swear it feels like I just found out we were expecting and now, we’re just over 5 weeks out!

In the past 8 months, I’ve added several new products to my life. Some of which I’ve loved, others not so much. But there have been a handful that have truly changed my pregnancy and made such a difference in my journey.

It’s official– my favorite season of the year is here! 

Ok, sure maybe the actual start of summer isn’t until later this month, but the start of June just feels like summer to me. The sun doesn’t set until nearly 9pm, work has relaxed hours, people are having BBQs, and any day has the potential to turn into an endless beach/pool/lake day! I honestly couldn’t ask for anything more. 

I’m currently prepping to head back to Miami to celebrate my 30th birthday, and I’m sure the entire weekend will end up feeling like one long beach day.

It’s hard to believe that this past January Shades of Pinck turned SEVEN years old. Feels like just yesterday I was stuck at home, with cabin fever during a snowstorm, when I mustered up the courage to finally start a blog. But Shades of Pinck, LLC won’t turn two until later this fall. That’s because it took me a really long time to not only value my content, and what I provided to companies, but also a long time to fully grasp the concept of what a non-traditional business could look like.
