Benny is officially ready for adoption; she is spayed, microchipped & ready for her forever home! She is believed to be around 2 years old. Once she is acclimated to her new home, purring & rubbing against you will be here primary ways of showing affection (the video is her first day with us) 🥰 Benny was the most amazing mama to 4 babies while we've had her. Extremely sweet with a strong streak of independence sums up this gorgeous girl!

Furry Friends Refuge is our adoption agency. For adoption details, please visit their website: www.furryfriendsrefuge.org

As of today, all of these amazing babies are officially adopted 🥰

It was a journey (a beautiful one at that). From witnessing them being born to watching them grow into their own little personalities was not only fun but our hearts could not have been more full while raising them alongside their amazing mama Benny.

Don’t get us wrong, there are most certainly the ups & downs throughout the journey while making sure everyone is OK (including mama). Making sure babies weights are on track every night we weighed them, the temperature in the room was always set to avoid hypothermia, comforting mama throughout the weaning process as she wonders where her babies are, temporary health scares & not crying too hard as they leave (yes, there have been some tears)...

People have asked, “would you do it again?”
Our answer, “yes, we absolutely would.”

There is a beauty & importance in being able to give an animal a chance; giving them all the love & care possible then transitioning them into their forever homes where they & their new family will experience a love just as great as we have ❤️

Absolutely loving these ruched strap sandals; they are the perfect combo of comfy meets cute & a great option to throw on when you want to elevate your denim a bit!

I am wearing the pale pink & they also come in ivory, black & yellow which I have linked for you 💖

Facial expression translation: I see you snake skin on our patio (and I’m not talking about fashion). Typically, I’m all good with the 🐍 scene BUT when there’s ZERO idea where they are... feelings/vibes change a bit (a.k.a. trying to smile on the outside while freaking on the inside) Who else is with me?? 🙋🏼‍♀️

Any who 😅 wanted to share one of my favorite versatile looks with a hat that can be styled many ways (swipe to view band details) 🤍

Style tip: When you are transitioning seasons, having neutral options in your wardrobe is key; not only do they work in the current season, but can be worked into the upcoming season as well. And remember, the more versatile your wardrobe is, the easier it is to get dressed every day (ok, & more 💵 in the wallet) 👏🏼

Look is linked on my LIKEtoKNOW.it page (you can also access via my Instagram page via Bio) 🤍

This top had me at textured. Then it had me at puff sleeve. And then really had me at 50% off! 😊

Fun lil’ fashion fabric fact (ok, or at least I think it is 😃) The texture of the fabric (Jacquard) in this top is created by weaving the pattern directly into the material instead of embroidered, printed or stamped into the fabric.

A French weaver, Joseph-Marie Jacquard invented the technology for this technique in 1803.
