- Catalina Island – Like I said, I was gone on a work trip over the weekend and the first half of this week. We go to Catalina Island often because our organization owns a campground there. We stay in cabins with no electricity, but it’s beautiful as we are surrounded by the ocean! (See pic below.) My family was able to come for the weekend portion, and then I stayed on the island with all other staff for Monday and Tuesday for more work meetings. Our family is still recovering from the travel as well as me being apart from them for a couple of days. Even though I’ve been apart from Addie many times before, she was really feeling it this time, so I took off work Wednesday and kept her home from daycare the whole day. Poor sweet child!
- Casual Outfits from Camp, anyone? On the note, I wore very simple, casual, and kid and dirt friendly outfits with sneakers while at Catalina Island. Anyone interested in seeing them? I’ll work on taking pics of them after I do laundry, haha!
- How to Style Colorful Shoes – Haven’t started this post yet, but I hope to soon! I received a really cute pair of mustard colored heels from Sole Society (HERE) and while they did not require that I post about them, they got me really excited and inspired to write a post about styling colorful shoes! (They’re also HERE if you’re looking for free return shipping.)
- Sunscreen – I’ve mentioned a couple of different sunscreen brands on Instastories–just once or twice–but I got questions about them days and weeks later after the stories disappeared. I don’t have a TON to say on the subject, but I think having a blog post that doesn’t disappear can’t hurt. 😛
Here’s what’s been happening lately on Instagram (@puttingmetogether) and Facebook. If you don’t follow in either of those places, you can see the outfits as they’re posted (instead of waiting for these roundups) here on the blog over on the righthand sidebar. If you click those images, you can also shop the outfits–no need to sign up for @liketoknow.it!
I post many outfits on Instagram and Facebook that never make it to the blog apart from these roundups. And often by the time I post them here, the sales aren’t happening or they’re sold out. So, make sure to glance over to the righthand sidebar every once in a while!
For sizing reference, I’m 5’6″ with a short torso, and normally size S/M or 6/8.
I posted this pic on Instagram on Wednesday, and they sold out in every size except one. Yesterday they got restocked, and they’re currently 20% off with code SWEET! Add them to your cart, enter the code, and the discount should show through June 11th.
I get asked about these shoes all the stinking time, but they are from Old Navy last year and haven’t been back since. There is a pretty darn expensive similar pair from TOMS HERE. They’re expensive, but I guess the consolation is that TOMS tend to be fairly comfortable. I linked to a much more affordable but not as similar pair from Amazon below also.
