about

I'm a wife, toddler mama, retired lawyer, and non-retired smartass who believes that classic style and motherhood are not mutually exclusive.

I'm a stay-at-home-mom attempting to keep my style and my sense of humor while on a budget (for the clothes, that is - the humor is free and frequently terrible).

I'm trying to be the best parent, wife, friend, and retail enabler I can be. I write here to figure out all of that and also to show how my Ralph Lauren ad-style family is cuter than yours.

When not plotting my next accessory acquisition, I love to read, travel, bake, and track the every fashion move of Princess Shinylocks, a.k.a Kate Middleton. I still look for a pony under the Christmas tree and want to be Grace Kelly when I grow up.

I'd love to hear from you, unless you're a serial killer or want to complain about my Princess Shinylocks fangirl-ism; either way, you can reach me at ipickpretty@gmail.com.
