Mary

My gorgeous little sister came to town again a couple of weeks ago and I have been meaning to post these pictures ever since. It's always fun to raid her suitcase and see what goodness I can find. Mary has an amazing sense of style and a true passion for shopping! Seriously, the girl LOVES to shop! Lucky for her Med Student husband, she is determined to stay on budget, find great deals and save for the more expense pieces she can not live without. She is a smart shopper!

Above are some shots of the her new pieces for Spring. Her current favorite shops include: Zara and Nordstrom/Nordstrom Rack. She picks up most of her skinny jeans at the Gap. In Atlanta she found those adorable lace shorts in Fabrik, and that first dress and the big turquoise pieces at H&M. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to squeeze into those tiny things?! Oh to have that body, sigh!

The good news is that Mary is considering starting a blog, yay! I have been putting off starting a regular outfit post here, and it will sure motivate me get it done. The even better news is that Mary is moving to Nashville in just a few months. Her sweet hubby will be going to Vanderbilt and doing his residency, so I expect Mary will have lots of time to spend with her sisters. I am BEYOND excited about it!

On the adoption front, the Home visit seemed to be a great success. Aside from the teepee collapsing on me moments before our Social Worker arrived, all went smoothly. I am thankful to have that part behind us! Now we spend the next few weeks getting the remaining paperwork finished and turned in, and complete our profile. I am so ready to begin the search!

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for all of the sweet notes and comments. It is so amazing to hear such nice things from friends and family, and incredibly kind coming from my new blogging friends and community. There is something really touching about people I have never met in person taking the time to support and encourage me! I am eternally grateful!

This is my little sister Mary.

And she's .........pretty cool!
She is smart, funny, incredibly kind, insanely beautiful, very driven and successful........the list goes on and on. She just came to Atlanta for a girls weekend, and I thought that it might be fun to dig through her suitcase and see what hip 20 something, pre-baby girls are wearing these days.

She arrives, hooray! Traveling attire: skinny jeans, v-neck tee, a long cardi, flats, and a scarf.

Baggage: a suprisingly large suitcase for a weekender and a great cross body Coach bag. Contents: various nursing literature (the girl never stops!), iPod, iPhone, Marc sunnies, Tory wallet, a million lip glosses, pretty eyeshadow duo, and a handful of hair accessories.

Mary's new obsession in the accessories category, fabric and embellished hairbands. So fun!

Chunky cuffs, gold bangles, and a rose gold Michael Kors Runway Watch. (I'm totally jealous of the watch, it's pretty gorgeous!)

Pretty earrings, all shapes and sizes.

Obviously loves the long and layered look when it comes to necklaces.

Daytime option: cute denim pleated shorts, flowy romantic top, and some woven sandals.

Other daytime options: stripes!!!! skinnies, color block tee, long cardi and flats. Pleated shorts, washed silk tee, and gladiator espadrilles.

Nighttime option: flared jeans, doleman long sleeve, ombre scarf, and nude patent platforms.


Other nighttime options: dark denim skinnies with silk asymmetrical top. Grey super skinnies, cotton tank with peplum, and super cute Tory clutch with chain strap.

Workout gear: soft and sustainable tee, Nike shorts, and sneaks.

Amy and me: the big sisters. (Technically I am the oldest, for the record....Amy, ha.) I got lucky when I moved back to Atlanta! My sister was here, yay. We hang at least once a week at the insistence of Carson.....she loves her Mamy!!!

Amy and Mary: the blondies. Check out Amy's new JCrew necklaces layered on Mary, we were obsessed with them all night!


Due to the fact that the three of us rarely get to be together, and that we have a lot of fun when we do, we were basically a love fest all weekend. So, for the people that noticed us hugging on each other and asked, we would reply proudly:
"We are sisters."

When further explanation was needed:
"When we were both five my dad married her mom, and together they made Mary."

Common response:
"Awe!"

We miss you Mary!
