Happy Friday!
Today, I’m partnering with Nordstrom and ShopStyle to wrap up my week and share some Faves!
I don’t know about you, but this sums up my weekend…
…bahahahaha! I laugh every time I read this because IT’S SO TRUE!!!! The cozy winter weekends are over…we kick off tomorrow with a bright and early soccer game followed by two birthday parties and a baseball tournament. ‘Tis the season!
I hope you have a wonderful Friday, friends! As always, I’m linking up with my friends Andrea and Erika .
Happy weekend!
First up today? Swimsuits! I wore so many super cute swimsuits on our vacation that I bought at Nordstrom!
I feel like the easiest way to pack is wear a pair of white bikini bottoms (or maybe pink?!) and add a splashy top! I shared this with you before I left…
#1: Halter Bikini #2: Asymmetrical #3: Reversible Triangle Bikini #4: Bright Bandeau #5: Halter Bikini #6: Coral Floral
And when I got there, I loved wearing each and every one of them!
Take a look…
Top #1:
I loved this bikini top so much that after I wore it, I ordered it in a second color.
I wore…
…this super cute cover up and hat with it too!
Top #2:
On this day, I wore this bikini top with my super cute sandals (don’t forget to size down!) and hat.
Top #3:
On this day, I wore this asymmetrical top (which is a style I never wear but LOVED) along with this cover up that was so perfect that I also came home and bought it in a second color too. They worked perfectly with my flip flops.
Top #4:
For our day on the North Shore, this floral bikini top!
Top #5:
I wore this bandeau bikini top with this suuuuuper cute coverup that you can wear interchangeably by wearing it forwards or backwards. So cute!!

Nordstrom has been my go-to this year for my family’s Spring Break needs! As you know, I always love shopping there because not only do they have everything my family needs from beauty to shoes to home, clothes, bath and more, but they have impeccable service, free shipping, free returns and curbside pick up (all so handy for the busy vacation planning lady!). You can catch all of their services (including alterations, gift wrapping, style help and more HERE!).
Wow! Have you guys seen King Richard starring Will Smith? I watched this movie on the way to Honolulu and LOVED IT! I am not into tennis and even though I know who the Williams sisters are, I haven’t followed them…but now that I’ve watched the movie, I feel very interested in their story. I loved everything about this. It’s a movie about family, about faith, about putting your kids’ childhood ahead of kids sports…it’s about how we (the parents) are in charge and not coaches. I found it super inspiring, encouraging and uplifting. If you haven’t watched it, I give it two huge thumbs up!
My new winning combination! You ladies know that for years and years, I only used one eyeliner that I had originally purchased because it was waterproof, but then went on to buy it over and over and over again just because it was amazing…and then, it was discontinued, and I’ve been on the hunt ever since. I’ve tried several, but right before Hawaii, I purchased this one and LOVE IT!!!! It feels just like the original one going on, lasts all day, goes on smooth and in a straight line and is waterproof. I paired it with my tried and true waterproof mascara for the perfect combo.
Yesterday, we tried to make things extra fun and extra GREEN!
Anyone else?
We listened to this music for about two hours (it was so much fun!), but then I had to turn it off because it was not conducive to work…it was conducive to happy hour 😉 .
I also made my traditional green breakfast with…shamrock sprinkles. Sprinkles make any old Thursday more festive!
All six Shulls wore green, but these two were the only ones who humored mama with a pic. I love how they’re standing. #sisters
Okay, you guys! I shared this dress with you before I left…
…and I loved it even more once I wore it to dinner! But guess what?! Nordstrom just released it in even more colors! Woohoo!!!
I love it in the black, but now…you can buy it in bone, teal, or three different beachy patterns!
Prefer a maxi?
No worries!
I have you covered there too…
…it’s rayon, it’s light, it has pockets and this dress comes in several other colors. How perfect, right?! I am 5’3″, so I kept my shoes off so that you can see the length.
I wasn’t the only one wearing cute dresses from Nordstrom this trip…
…forgive the blur but Kensington, Ashby and Mades were too!
My new obsession…Cava.
All the praise!!!!
Do you guys have these where you live? Sheaffer insisted she go with me the first time I tried it (she IS our food expert), and I’m so glad she did because she knew exactly what I should get, add, drizzle and order. I’m not exaggerating, I bet there are at least 15 different “things” in this bowl. It’s like a Greek version of Chipotle, and now, I can’t quit going.
Finally, this weekend it is officially SPRING! Today, I’m sharing 18 Spring Suppers on the 18th!
That wraps up my week! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!! xx
Erika Slaughter says
This is the third time I’ve heard about that movie! I need to watch now!
Melissa says
Okay, Cava has been here in the DC area since 2006, but WOW your bowl looks amazing. Please deconstruct it a bit. Is the salad version or rice version. I love me some Cava too. Also, what color are your H flip flops? Have a great weekend and successful kickoff with spring sports.
Mix and Match Mama says
Listen, Sheaffer just points and I add…but I have lentils, rice, their power salad mix, chicken, falafel, three of those dip things, two different sauces, like 5 different veggies/pickled things and pita chips. AMAZING!!
Elspeth says
What a fun list of favorites!! Have a great weekend!

Sheaffer says
Such cute cover ups. p.s. Cava is life.
Rebecca says
Our son, just got his first job at…CAVA!!!
We love it!!
Mix and Match Mama says
Good for him!!! We love it too!
grace says
Happy Spring Shay! I just caught up on reading all of last week’s posts this morning and what a brightness to start my day! Thank you so much for this beautiful space on the internet.
And thanks for the photo of the dress without shoes! I’m 5’3″ too and dresses like that are always too long!
Laurie S says
Happy Friday Shay…. In your IG stories you requested suggestions why your dog Frenchie won’t go UP the stairs but does everything else normally. As a dog mom, my first thought is that she may have tweaked a back muscle – going up stairs aggravates it/causes her pain. She’s ok going down and staying on flat surfaces (different set of muscles). Stand Frenchie on the ground and gently run your hand over her spine and the surrounding tissue and muscles … do you feel or see a bump or does she flinch? Please see your vet – they can give her anti-inflammatory and pain meds. Dogs cannot take human ibuprofen or Aleve. This happened to my dog last week…
Mix and Match Mama says
Yesterday, I went through the comments and tried many of the suggestions. When Kensington came home, she bounced right up the stairs after K. I think she likes me taking her up there and because I did it a few times, she just cries and expects me to do it. I’m going to see what she does today. Thank you for this suggestion too! I’m going to check her back now!
Julie says
I wrote on Instagram too, but try putting a piece of kibble on each step as you go up. I would be surprised if she didn’t eat her way up and forget all about being carried!
Thanks for the CAVA tip, who knew we had it in Boston!!! “Lettuce” know your order when you can so we can all try the secret ingredients 🙂
Joanne says
We do not have Cava here; I have never heard of it but that bowl looks yummy!
Alison says
Is Kensington wearing your shoes?! I feel like you posted about those at one point. Haha. She is growing up right before our reader eyes. 🙂
Mix and Match Mama says
She’s wearing a new pair I bought for her. It’s very similar to the pair I bought last summer!! Good eye! Her heel is a touch lower.
Laci Murray says
I want the maxi dress! So cute!
kristen says
Ok, I need to know exactly what is in your Cava bowl, because that looks absolutely scrumptious #drool
Sandra Blackwell says
OMG, Cava looks amazing! And, it is here in San Diego where I live. I want to run out right now and get it but we already have diner plans. You can bet I’ll be there this weekend! Thanks!
Michele says
Please tell me you got the crazy feta when you went to Cava!?! Feta with EVOO, onions, and jalapeños. I crave it! Sometimes I will run over and just get the falafel, crazy feta, kalamata olives, and pickles. So simple but the flavors mix together and become greatness!
Mix and Match Mama says
Yes, yes, yes!!!!! The crazy feta is so delish!! The pickles are so delish too!
Jessica says
Does M&M Travel agency book trips to Universal in Orlando?
Mix and Match Mama says
We do only as an extension of a Walt Disney World vacation.
Jess says
I’m not going to any beachy location anytime soon, and yet now I really want a bright, fun new bathing suit! 🙂
CampDallas says
I just bought the La Blanca floral bandeau top. Love! What bottoms do you like to wear with it?
Mix and Match Mama says
Solid white or pink!
