Recreating Pinterest Spring/Summer Outfits - Part 2

So much Pinterest inspo...I'm doing a Part 2!   To catch up, here's Part 1

I wish I had this backdrop and a glass of wine!

I switched out the jeans for cropped black pants in this look.

Classic summer beachy style. I don't have light jeans that roll up so these had to do.

This may not look like Spring/Summer but we had quite a few cold, windy and rainy days and the vest came in handy.

I tried this look with just the vest too.

I wouldn't have thought of this one myself.

I tried this combo in both shorts and jeans.

This feels very beachy.

I did my best with this one.

Kind of cute!

This one feels perfect for running around NYC.

Mother's Day Weekend 2026

Mother's Day feels so long ago but it was only last weekend.

I started with a much needed pedicure during the week.

I discovered this naughty (but extremely cute) groundhog helping herself to my cilantro, lettuce and zucchini plants.   RIP veggie garden.

City Girl #2 came home on Saturday and attended Mr. Click's gig at Porchfest.  It was fun, despite the rainy weather.

It cleared up and we walked on the boardwalk after dinner.  There was a peek of a rainbow but I can't see it in this photo.

On Sunday, City Girl #1 came in on the train. We all went out for coffee at a local spot.  I had mint tea.

We went out for brunch at a boardwalk restaurant.

I ordered something different and got the cinnamon crunch French toast. We ordered a few appetizers too.

It was so foggy but also sunny on the boardwalk.

We stopped at the trinket swap so I could show the girls.  We left a trinket and got a sticker.

After brunch the girls and I went to a cat lounge to visit with adoptable kitties.

I think there were 17 kitties and they were so cute.

Some were very sleepy

but we got to interact with some playful babies too!

I hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day!

{Thrifting} April Thrifting

 I think March was a total bust for thrifting for me. I went out a few times and didn't find anything worth bringing home. I was disappointed with my local Goodwill (the national chain is being nicknamed Greedwill these days).  

I ventured out to some different thrift stores in April and started finding things again (and renewed my faith in thrifting).  This was my haul from three stores on the same day.  One store was a bust so I did pretty well with the other two.

I've been trying to do more "analogue" hobbies and I'm loving this adult coloring book.    You can see Willow approves, of course.

I found three tops, three mini vases (one is a shot glass but I'm using it as a vase) and a brand new with tags Anthropologie Natalie Lété Christmas mug.

A close up of the tops. The shirt on the left has a subtle Minnie and Mickey theme. Perfect for Disney!

I really wanted some little vases for single or tiny blooms.  This is one of my favorites in action.

The GAP blue top.

The vintage white blouse with ruffle sleeves. I almost bought a similar one at JCrew but this one buttons so it's more versatile.  The cashier was oohing and ahing over it.

Here's the Minnie & Mickey top. I'll probably only wear this in Disney.

I tried it on with a black skirt and liked it too.

The wooden crate looks brand new and from the Home Edit line at Walmart.

It's been a great addition to our newly organized Linen Closet.

This mug is so special. I love this Anthro line of products.  They are selling online for way more than I paid so I've listed it on Poshmark but if it doesn't sell. I'll use it in my own Christmas kitchen decor.

See ya next month with more thrifts!

Easter at The Brooklyn Bonatic Garden

 We were heading back to Brooklyn for Easter this year.

I got in the spirit with some bunny ears.

Willow was not amused.

Getting a few pics before we left.

This tree only blooms for a few days so I like to get a photo of it in bloom. I had Easter baskets for the girls.  It was fun to put some together this year.

We had a little moving to do with City Girl 2 at her old place .  

Of course we stopped for coffee.

I got an iced tea.

We had tickets for the Booklyn Botanic Garden and it was our first visit.

It was beautiful even in early Spring.

Tulips!

It's sure to be even prettier in a few weeks.

I loved these soft yellow flowers.

Of course there were daffodils...

some forget-me-nots...

More daffodils..

The cherry blossoms were in full bloom.

We stopped at the Terrain gift shop on the way out.  We went to brunch afterwards but it was pouring so I didn't get any more photos.
 I can't wait to go back!

Have you ever been to a botanic or botanical garden?
