DRESS: Zimmerman (Less expensive here) // SANDALS: Joie // SUNGLASSES: PRADA // BAG: Chanel via Fashionphile // LIPSTICK: MAC Sweet Experience // Atticus - SHIRT: ILY Couture
Hope everyone is having a good week! We're in Utah and all of David's family is town. I feel like I have finally recovered from our red eye here... Atticus cried for probably 3 of the 5 hours, it was horrible. We have gotten really spoiled with him never crying and being so good on all of our flights but he was just having an off night and it was so so rough. I started just crying on the plane because I didn't know what to do, nothing we did helped him and he was just so sad! People were coming up to us after saying "Its a good thing he is cute...." and I felt so bad :( it is so stressful knowing everyone on the plane is trying to sleep and your baby is crying. A crying baby is stressful enough!
But I am sooo excited for the Fourth! David's family always has a big slip n' slide in his parents back yard so it's going to be so fun to see Atticus go down it:) It's SO hot but at least it's dry. Fourth of July also reminds me of last year when Atticus got sick because it was the night of the Fourth that I started realizing something was off. He was in his little Fourth of July onesie when we took him to the hospital. If you remember my New Years post I shared the story with you of when that all happened :/ It was almost exactly a year ago today and it was such a sad time. At the hospital every night volunteers came and made dinner for the parents and families of patients and we thought it was the coolest/sweetest thing so tonight we are hosting the dinner and making everyone food. We are super excited!
I fell in love with this dress a while ago and snagged it on sale online - it is the perfect flowy dress for summer and I love that the waste band still works with a pregnant belly. I don't like to wear "nice" things with Atticus for too long since I like to be able to pick him up if he is muddy or has food all over him so I usually will wear my nicer dresses for lunch dates/dinner dates or when we are doing something special. I had a lunch date that day I wore this and we went to run some errands beforehand but luckily Atticus stayed clean :)
Hope you all have a fun and safe 4th of July!

These photos are beautiful! I have always dreamed of living in NYC. My hubby and I visit as often as we can. It is such a magical place. Your dress is gorgeous and your son is adorable. My hubby and I have been trying for kids for about a year now and as much as everyone tells me I would be great with a little girl, my heart tells me differently and I really want a boy. (But of course, I would love either) 😉
I LOVE how you made dinner for people as a way to give back. Hope your son is doing well now (I will have to read the blog post)
Thank you for sharing. <3
Thank you Jenny!! It was always a dream of mine as well!! I am glad you and your husband are able to visit 🙂 And aww you are so sweet!! Thanks love!! I bet you will a fabulous mommy someday!! Boy or girl.. 🙂 Thanks for reading!! xoxo

Hi Amber,
I started following you on Instagram a few months ago because of your hair posts (I’ve been a hairstylist for a little over 7 years)and have gained so much more from your blog than just that. I also have a son who is just a couple weeks older than Atticus. I get so much inspiration from you whether its ideas to do with my little boy or hairstyles for my clients.
Just wanted to leave you a little note to say thank you and keep doing more of the same 🙂
Thank you so much Kelly!! I love the positive feedback 🙂 I am so happy you are following along!! I bet your little one is adorable! xoxo
Happy 4th weekend Amber! Thank you for also posting less expensive versions on your posts!! The similar Free People piece is simply divine. You rock girlfriend!!

Poor little A! And poor you! It’s so stressful being on a flight with a crying baby and it’s heartbreaking when nothing you do makes it better. Hope you have a great 4th of July to make up for it xxx
I know it!! I felt so sad for him!! Hopefully our next flight will be better 🙂 And yes! We had a great weekend!! I hope yours was also fabulous!! xoxo

Beautiful dress!
Thank you!! xo
I love that dress! It looks so cute with you beautiful little bump. I totally understand how it feels to have a crying baby on a plane. My little 9 month old boy had an epic melt down on a recent flight from Chicago. I felt like the whole plane hated me! Love that my son is so loud and chatty and happy but when he is upset it’s just crazy! Hopefully Atticus’ next flight is much better.
Aww thank you Sarah!! That is so nice of you!! And no way?! It is the worst feeling huh?? I am glad you can relate!! We are just glad to have that flight behind us haha! xo
Love the dress!!

Your hair is so pretty like that! Sorry about little A. It sucks not knowing what to do when a baby is crying plus it’s just so heartbreaking!Luckily Atticus is quite most of the time! Have a great time in Utah. I love the celebrations of the 4th of July but we don’t have that in Greece 🙁
Thank you Monica!! I am so glad you like the hairstyle 🙂 We had a great weekend in Utah, it was a blast! And I know!! It was so frustrating not knowing how to calm him 🙁 Have a lovely day!! xo
Oh the dress is so lovely! Especially the material and color is perfect for summer! x

Hi! Is that braided updo featured in one of your youtube videos? I’ve tried looking through them but couldn’t find it right away. If not could you make one showing how to do it? I’m in LOVE!
Thanks!

So sorry to hear Atticus had such a rough flight! Trying to comfort a crying baby can be so disheartening sometimes. As for the dress-you look like a NYC boho goddess! I love it girl!!!
I know 🙁 It was such a hard flight!! I am glad it is behind us now haha 🙂 And wow thank you!! You are too kind!! xoxo
Such a gorgeous look and I love how it billows in the wind! Sounds like a rough flight and some rough memories, but I love that you are contributing to the feeding the hospital families. That’s wonderful!

Thank you!! 🙂
Hi Amber, Love this dress and esp. in the peachy colour so pretty on you ! Beautiful boho yet refined elegant and chic ! Trust you to have your eye on whats current and find the perfect romantic summer dress… this one by Zimmerman is perfect ! And the brand is so hot right now since the duchess chose an eyelet one for her Australia visit. A little while back I’d commented that I’d love to find a pretty lacy white dress for summer and wondered if you might show some on your blog. Thank-you so much, this comes on an ivory white too . The caftan is a great vacation / hostess piece too.
Hope you all have a Happy Healthy 4th of July ! So kind of you to be giving back with the dinners on this holiday.

Sick babies are the absolute worst! I’m so sorry about the bad flight 🙁 I’m glad that you get to spend your 4th of July with family though. And yes Utah is so hot right now! I feel like I need to be inside or in water all of the time when I am outside ha. Have a great weekend!

What a wonderful idea – cooking dinner for families at the hospital. The things you’d never even think about until someone does it for you! 🙂 I’m sure you will bring a smile to many. Happy Fourth!

Thanks so much Emma!! I hope your 4th was amazing!! xo
Aww! Hopefully the 4th will become a happy memory for you guys again 🙂 I don’t mind when babies cry on planes because it’s just so uncontrollable, they really cant help it. I wish I could cry on planes sometimes too, flying more than 2 hours makes me crazy, but I’m supposed to be an adult so I cant cry and I’m jealous of those babies who just get to let it all out. I wouldn’t even worry about it though seriously. I’m convinced that they should start making planes with little rooms or a blocked off row or something for situations like that. Hey, I should pitch that to Delta 😉 haha
Enjoy your time in Utah! You have to share that slip-n-slide! x. Morgan / http://www.morningappleblog.com
We had a great 4th of July this year so from here on out it will good memories 🙂 And that is so nice that you don’t care!! Unfortunately some people do!! But for the most part people are very nice and don’t say anything haha 😉 But flying in general is just rough!! Even for us adults ha! Thanks for your comment Morgan!! Love ya!! xoxo
Love the color of the dress it compliments you so nicely! Have a great 4th of July weekend with your family!
