I’ve really been on an organization kick lately, maybe it’s the pregnant “nesting.” When I found a bucket bag where function meets fashion I couldn’t deny it! While pregnant with George I truly had that strong “nesting” feeling. We spent hours and hours organizing his nursery. This time around I’m so busy chasing him around most of the time, I haven’t really prepped in the same way. That “nesting” feeling has still been prevalent though, so I’m trying to calm it in manageable ways. First, was the planner. Now, keeping my purse more organized.
The bucket bag has been on trend for awhile now, but I never found one that had everything I was looking for to pull the trigger. This leather bag was a great neutral color, but the functionality is what sold me. The inside has a removable key leash, ID slots, lipgloss/pen loops, phone pockets, and various other pockets to keep everything organized. As you may recall from previous post, I’m NOT organized by nature. I need all the help I can get. This makes finding things in my bag so easy.
These jeans are not maternity, but I’ve been wearing them this whole pregnancy thus far. They sit below the bump and have lots of strech. Gotta keep it comfy these days. I pretty much wear a graphic tee or one of these ($20) v-neck tees everyday. They are easy and comfortable.
P.S. I’ve never worn these rose applique studded booties and not gotten complimented on them. I love that they cut low so they are cooler for summer.
P.P.S. Makeup was done by Chels Rey Makeup She does such a great job if you are looking for someone in Nashville!

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
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.
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”.
