Happy Tuesday, lovelies! Today, I’m wearing H&M’s 2011 Conscious Collection Dress (which is made from 100 percent recycled polyester) on this sunny day! As part of H&M’s ongoing focus on sustainability, the Swedish fashion giant introduced the Conscious Collection back in April of 2011, a line of apparel for women, men and children, made from environmentally-adapted and greener materials such as organic cotton, Tencel® and recycled polyester. Honestly, I’m obsessed with this dress, it creates such a beautiful and romantic feel due to it’s lace and broderie anglaise.

PS: How fab is this sun hat? I purchased it at Target and I’m in love with it!

As always, thanks for stopping by and have fabulous day! See you back here on Thursday!

Happy Tuesday! I’m happy to be back in Chicagoland! If you’re following me on Instagram you probably know that I just returned from my trip in Dallas, Texas. It was a special ‘Mommy-Son’ adventure (daddy stayed home). Kingston and I had a lot fun but we’re very happy to be back home, as well. We missed daddy a lot! And while we’re back… we’ll be enjoying this 70 degree weather right now (it was over 90 degrees in Dallas!) – hence I’m wearing a soft, light-weight sweater paired with my all-time favorite leather pants I’ve purchased a while back at H&M.

Have a great week & as always, thanks for stopping by, lovelies!
