Right before we left for Mom 2.0, Jenny gave me a hard time about getting a spray tan, which gave her the opportunity to express to all of you the shock she’s experienced since Christmas about the fact that I’ve been getting a little more into accessories as of late. I would like to point out, though, that it’s not that I didn’t like accessories before, it’s more that I was not confident in my ability to do accessories right. I’m still not, actually, but I am trying to get better. Fortunately, for Mom 2.0, I turned to Lands’ End’s website to tell me what to do! They have really cute accessories, shoes and bags right now… take a look at the ones we wore in Florida.
Let’s start with handbags, because they’re my favorite.
This is the Canvas and Leather Stripe Medium Tote.
I love this bag so much! I just love the look and style, and I also love the functionality – the sides unzip to provide more space if needed. I took this when Kate and I went to Portland, and it held my iPad and everything I needed for our flights.
Jenny and I also both carried the Linen and Leather Totes.
Here’s Jenny carrying it in red.
Those last two bags are also currently on sale, in case you need a late Mother’s Day present for yourself!
This Straw Market Tote was my traveling bag – it was perfect for the flights, as well as for the conference… plenty of room for my iPad, conference book, notes, etc. And it is so cute!
Ok, let’s move on… how about some shoes??
When we were waiting in the airport for our first flight, I texted this picture to my friend Gina, with the message “I am sort of obsessed with these shoes.” She immediately responded “Adorbs!! I can see why!!”
Those are the Parker Mid Wedge Knotted Espadrilles and they are also on sale right now! I may have to order the gingham ones.
We both wore the Hadley Linen Mid Wedge Quarter Strap Sandals, Jenny in Classic Navy and me in Natural (with red accents).
Gorgeous, and so comfortable.
Another one of my favorites was the Trista Mid Wedge Leather Slingback Espadrilles.
I think I will probably wear these just about every day all summer. They are perfect for work because they are dressy, cute, and extremely comfortable.
Let’s see… what else.
We also both wore the Amelia Embroidered Closed-back Braided Thongs – Jenny wore the white ones and I wore the Luggage Tan ones to the White Party, and I wore the Cayenne to the Friday night beach party. They also come in Gunmetal and Algae, both of which are lovely as well.
We also wore pearls!! Here’s me with the Pearl Torsade Necklace and Jenny with the Fresh Water Pearl Endless Strand Necklace.
And finally… bathing suits. I think you all know how we feel about Lands’ End bathing suits, but if it’s possible I think we love them even more now than we did before.
Here’s a picture of us on the beach!
Sorry, but that’s as close to you’re getting of pictures of us in bathing suits! But here are the ones we wore.
Jenny went with the Floral Beach Print Tankini, with this cute matching Shadow Floral Chiffon Cover-up Pareo.
I went with the new Lands’ End Swim Mates, and I loooooooooove it. It might be my favorite suit ever. Here’s the deal with Swim Mates, as described by our new friend Nicole Feliciano from MomTrends.
Mix and match swim wear – Love it.
There you have it… how we accessorized for Mom 2.0. Lands’ End had absolutely everything we needed to look and feel great all weekend long!
first of all the swim mates were awesome and you should include a picture!!
second of all – I am ordering the espadrille wedges. you know – I need another pair of shoes…preferably one that I don’t have to walk home barefoot in…R
Maybe you should ride a bus with espadrilles on.
Love all the accessories! And being featured on the blog…
