Father’s Day Gift Guide

I’ve been on the search for the best father’s day gift ideas out there and have come up with some any dad would love!

I’ve been on the search for the best father’s day gift ideas out there and have come up with some any dad would love!

Technically last year was Trey’s first time year celebrating Father’s Day, but G was only a month old and we didn’t really understood the significance of being a parent yet. Now that he is 13 months, it seems more real that we are responsible for this tiny human. Seeing Trey interact with G just melts my heart. They have such a sweet bond. Georgie babbles “da da” all day long. Whenever he leaves for work, there’s always a small meltdown that follows. He will even sit at the back door and hold his shoes. Then when he walks back in the door after work, G will get the biggest smile on his face and go to him as fast as his chunky little thighs will allow.

I bet there was once a day that people would bet against Trey as ever being a father (he had his wild moments…) but he sure is killing the dad game! He looks up articles on what we should be doing with him at each stage, gets up and makes middle of the night bottles, gets on the floor and plays with him, and shows him love and patience. You can’t ask for more than that!

So…. I wanted to make this Father’s Day really special and get him a bunch of things I know he needs/wants. I hope these Father’s Day Gift ideas give you some inspiration on what to get the special father (or father figure) in your life!

5 Father’s Day Gifts Ideas:

1. Tecovas Boots – I have had a pair of these for a little over a year now, and was so impressed with the quality for the price. Tecovas has removed the “middle man” from the process, bringing the price down and keeping the quality high. He has been asking for a pair of these for awhile… so what better time than now!

2. Framebridge Custom Framed Pieces I recently talked about Framebridge in detail, because I got him some concert tickets framed. You can read all about that process HERE. He’s been wanting to frame some of his client’s show posters and photography from meaningful shows. I couldn’t be happier with how these turned out! I used the designers help option… it sure makes life easier!

If you want to make sure you get your custom piece in time here are the deadlines to do so. My pieces were both “mail-in” items.

Mail-in deadline: June 5th 12am PST (i.e. Sunday night)

Upload deadline: June 12th 12am PST (i.e. Sunday night)

Designer’s choice reminder/deadline: June 14th 12am PST

3. Dagne Dover Travel Bags

Trey has had to travel a lot of 1 and 2 day trips lately, and has been in need of a good carry on bag. I found this carryall and must admit I’m pretty obsessed with it. I might just have to borrow this one. It’s made from 100% neoprene so it’s versatile and durable. It comes with several interior pockets, a shoe bag, a key leash, removable mesh pocket, a laptop pocket, and an exterior phone/ID pocket. I was so impressed with it’s functionality. This is the size large in the dark moss color.

I also got him the matching toiletry bag.

4. Craft + Foster Candle These come in several manly scents like “whiskey and cola and tonic and talc”. The packaging is also “manly”. I’ve lovingly nicknames these his “mandles.”

5. Comfy Tees/ Grahpic Shirts- Ya’ll probably know by now I have an infatuation with Chaser brand. Well… they have guys now too. You can find that reflected moto baseball shirt HERE. I’ve also linked some other of my favorite Chaser mens tees below. Did you know Revolve has men’s fashion too!? This has been one of my go to sites to shop for awhile now, and they also have great stuff for the guys.

I’ve also added father’s day gift guide ideas on the “Shop Nordstrom Sale”.

Cactus Blouse | Flare Skirt | Boots | Hat | Fringe Bag (Jennifer Haley- available at Bluefly..your first order is 10% off!) Necklace: Gold & Stone Jewelry

Mom life is hard. It’s not too often that I get out and about these days. However, every now and again it feels good to put on a little lipgloss and a skirt to run my errands and grab a coffee with some friends.  (With Georgie in tow!) I’m obsessed with Jennifer Haley bags, and this large fringe one is big enough for G’s essentials. It’s also easy to carry the car seat and not have to carry a bag. Bonus!

I was feeling all the western vibes in this look! A great hat is a must in Nashville. This one is a nice quality and inexpensive! This flare skirt is one of my favorite basics. It really has a great shape to it that is universally flattering.  I jumped on the cactus trend with this cute knot blouse. Some sizes are available at Revolve Clothing and the rest are available at Shopbop.

Easter Dress

Lace Bell Sleeve Dress | Booties

After a wonderful mountain trip with my husband’s family, I’m back in sunny Nashville and prepping for my family to come down for Easter. I found this beautiful blue dress to wear for Easter Sunday, and I just love it! Revolve Clothing for the win, again! It’s currently on sale for under $70 in the blue color. It also comes in blush and wine. I ordered a size small, (I’m normally an XS when not pregnant in this brand) and it managed to fit over my 8 month baby bump. It’s shift style so it should work post baby too. (I always try to find things I can wear post baby as well.)

We had such an amazing trip in Colorado. We had a big house with plenty of room for us all to stay under the same roof, and cook dinners on our own some nights too. I did miss partaking in the skiing, hot tubing, and wine drinking that I would normally enjoy not pregnant. However, it was great R&R. I always say I like breathing in the air up there. It’s just so clean and there’s something majestic in the mountains. Tip for any pregnant ladies traveling to high altitudes….drink PLENTY of water!

Getting back from Denver after they had the biggest blizzard in 10 years proved to be a bit of a challenge, but after several hours and delays we made it back to sunny Nashville.

I’ll be prepping for my parents arrival and working on some baby prep. (Time is really ticking these days!) Hope everyone has a wonderful Easter and gets to spend some QT with their loved ones.

Baddest boots in the game

I’ve been back on the grind after my getaway last week. It’s creeping up on ACM time, so I’ve been working with my bestie, Brit, on lots of fun styling projects and prepping for baby! Being pregnant and running around like a chicken with my head cut off equates to lots of comfy outfits. When I say I found my “sole mate” with these Tecovas boots, I’m not exaggerating in the slightest. They are handmade, and the craftsmanship is superior! (I was shocked at how great the price point was for such amazing quality!) Anyway, been rocking them a ton to add a little edge to my graphic tee uniform lately.
