fashion.boards
And just like that, February’s a memory. Goodbye skiing, another year gone by too soon.
But as Spring starts to make its annual emergence, I hear the call of sundresses, flirty skirts, sandals, Panama hats, and more. The days are getting longer, Daylight savings will soon give us light lovers an extra hour in the evening, and fashion trends are coming your way via my @fashionmeetsjess Insta page.
While it has been a busy winter for us, I am going to make it my mission to keep my fashion trend boards coming so that each week you have new inspiration. I plan to include women, mens, and kids so that inspiration for the whole family is present. Many of my boards are easily shop-able on my Amazon affiliate site – here – **reminder, as an Amazon affiliate I earn from qualifying purchases.
You can also shop my LTK (like to know it) page – here – for more inspiration across the web and across many fine retailers **another disclaimer – I may earn from qualifying purchases from this site as well.
Feel free to head over to @fashionmeetsjess and DM or comment to let me know what boards or inspirations you are looking for, and we’ll do our best to cover those topics in one of our weekly posts!
Today’s boards draw from Amazon and focus on dresses for Spring & Summer, along with coordinating favorites like necklaces, sunglasses, hats, and purses. I often wonder how there is ALWAYS new fashion available, and yet I am NEVER in want of finding new cute things to wear or shop – LUCKY us!

red.white.and glitter
So I am absolutely loving the new nails today! Bright, seasonal red flanked by festive patterns makes for a super cute, super fun pop of holiday magic.
Our tree is up, frosted (flocked), lit, and now decorated. I usually love to switch up our tree decorations, except for the family and kid keepsake ornaments. The green Christmas ball I’m holding is actually about 3 times the size of a normal glass ornament, and it’s sparkle helps provide a beautiful reflection when up against the white bulbs currently filling the spaces of the Fraser fir we now posess.

cyber monday fav.
With all the Cyber Monday deals, I wanted to call out my favorite site for matching kids/adults clothing and swimwear – Pat Pat. I discovered them years ago, and for some reason, their secret isn’t widely known, as literally every matching outfit we wear people stop to ask, and invariably no-one has ever heard of them.
This Cyber Monday, they are offering up to 70% off. Their prices are super reasonable, and it usually takes about 7-10 days for orders to arrive, so still time to get those matching jammies for Christmas for the whole family!

beach.coffee.mom.
Waves crashing. Kids laughing. Sand, sun, coffee, fun. This crazy life with busy schedules, activities, school, dance, trips, etc. means there isn’t much time to pause and reflect. Stealing a few moments on the inlet rocks to watch and take in the grandeur of it all was a welcome, albeit brief, respite from the daily circus.
Complementing my jeans by Stitch Fix is a simple, green knit sweater from Target. Gold rimmed Ray-Bans help mute the harsh late-day sun this time of year. Starbucks latte is a welcome companion and always a competent accessory to any cool weather outfit.
What is interesting as I reflect on this picture is how a brief instant snapped in digital form could represent someone’s entire day, gazing out into the ocean, or in my case, maybe a 60-second chance at a breather while Tom chases the kids around the beach. Even though warmer weather is in retreat, there is still much fun to be had being close to ocean, and days like today remind me to stop and smell the salty air more than once in a while.
Kids Christmas outfits are all from Target as well, with Mr. Grinch debuting his oh-so-mean green sweater, and the girls enjoying a festive frolic with coordinating holiday garb. Soon enough we will be trading ocean waves for snow flakes, and sandy beaches for snowy ski-lifts, but tomorrow will be here soon enough, and today is always enough for today.

black friday. red lipstick.
Black Friday. Red Lipstick. I felt it only fitting to do a beauty post with the boldest of color lipstick on a day when retailers only think about Black. And who doesn’t want to have some fun with bright red lips every now and again, especially during the holiday season.
When our family was just Tom & I, we used to line up early in the morning (or honestly, just after midnight) at the Tanger Outlets for a fun shopping experience for the two of us and some good doorbuster deals. Now that we have little ones, we don’t out shopping as long lines, lots of people, narrow aisles and double strollers don’t mix well.
Today we traded in the hustle and bustle of retail shopping with the relative calm and biting cold of the tree farm close to our home. We were able to pick out our annual tree despite the cold, and enjoyed a wagon ride with the kids and a quick visit with Santa and his workshop.

lv style.
Chic shoot with historic brick, urban streetscape, and classic LV handbag. Sweater from Target. Sheer black leggings. Patent leather pumps by Jimmy Choo. I don’t always go crazy spending money on clothes and shoes. I actually prefer a cute 15 dollar target sweater over other brands. Follow me to fashion and see all the places I have found some pretty awesome, very affordable clothing.

coodinating.outfits.
Matching. Coordinating. You name it, we have done it. Long before social media was filled with families doing their matchy matchy, I’ve been ordering and matching with my daughters, husband, and now son.
Over the past ten years, I have come to find that Pat Pat is my go-to site for matching family clothes at a great price. When matching at the beach, on the boardwalk, or just going out to dinner, I have countless people ask me where I got my outfit (or, quite honestly, a lot of them ask me if I sewed them…haha!) and not one of them has ever heard of Pat Pat.

nail.style.
You WILL always find me with my nails pampered and polished. One of my monthly addictions.

fashion.forward.
I have 3 girls so styling is a must for me. I have always been obsessed with the latest trends and beauty styles, sampling makeup and outfits and purses like there’s no tomorrow. I have an overwhelming amount of photos but they are mostly of my family and children (ask anyone who has followed my Facebook account for the last 10 years) . I am making it a goal of mine to include lots of fashion trends, outfits and more selfies as fashion is one of my biggest obsessions and Id like to portray some of those styles to everyone
