I hope you guys love today’s blog post because I do!!!! I do for a few reasons. One reason is that these photos of me and Molly are some of my favorite photos ever! I just think she is irresistibly cute in them and I can’t help but share them with all of you! Secondly, I love Børn shoes. And I just love my look in general in all of these photos. So I’m excited to tell you guys about it. Third, I hope you love the shoes as much as I do because I’m so excited to share they also bring awareness to a great cause they are part of. Which brings me to the last and most important reason that I’m excited about today’s post. It’s because I get to tell you guys about the amazing partnership between Børn shoes and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and how you can get involved just by buying a cute pair of shoes for yourself

So let’s start with that! Today is March 1st and for the entire month of March, Børn is donating 15% of sales from this collection of shoes to St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital (up to $10,000!!!!!) And the pink shoes I’m wearing in these pics are part of that collection. So if you buy these Børn CAMEO slip-on shoes in pink you can feel pretty dang awesome about the fact that 15% of your purchase will go directly to helping children battling pediatric cancer and other life threatening diseases. If you read my blog regularly then you know that I have worked with Born shoes many times in the past and it just makes me so happy to support a company that gives back. It’s so important to do, and every company and person should do it whenever possible! So here’s your chance to get a beautiful pair of shoes for yourself and help a child in need in the process.
I truly cannot imagine what I would do if Molly or Riley ever got sick and needed to go to St. Jude. St. Jude treats approximately 7,500 patients annually at zero cost to the families and treatments invented at St. Jude have contributed to the overall childhood cancer survival rate increasing from 20% to more than 80%. What they do there is truly remarkable. And I want to help them in any way I can. And I’m sure many of you do too.

So let’s help! While doing something nice for yourself too. Let me start by telling you a little bit about these CAMEO shoes. They are the perfect transition shoe from spring to summer. You could wear them out and about running errands, and they are also a great shoe to wear to the beach. One of the biggest reasons I started wearing Born shoes was because I read that they’re super comfortable! And after getting my very first pair, I realized that what I read was absolutely true! These shoes are so well-made and they leave your feet very happy! And I was so excited when I saw their spring collection because the styles are so cute! If you saw my post about them last month, you know that I have the DATIL shoes too. And if you scroll to the bottom of this post I attached a few photos of me in the DAMPNEY shoes too. I love all my Born shoes so much I honestly can’t pick a favorite. The DATIL and DAMPNEY are both part of the collection benefiting St Jude so snag a pair of those too!

In the pics with Molly I paired the pink shoe with a pair of white stretchy jeans. I love wearing white jeans! And every time I get something on them I just throw them in the washer with some bleach and they’re good as new! And I think the blue in my button up shirt looks so “spring-ish” and fresh with the white pant and pink shoe. I also wear this top every week so I’m sure you’ve seen me wearing it a bunch on insta story. This outfit, head-to-toe, might be one of my favorites ever. I definitely plan on wearing it all spring and summer long!

With the DAMPNEY shoe, (picture below) I’m wearing the same white jeans and a chambray button up shirt. Most of you probably have both of those things in your closet already and if you don’t I highly recommend them (this one is one sale for 40% off!)! But if you do already have them, all you need to do is snatch up a pair of the shoes and you can rock this exact look!

And btw, if you have a little girl she will LOVE these unicorn sneakers. Molly thinks they are MAGIC! As you can see from her smile below 🙂
I hope you guys love these shoes as much as I do and I hope you feel AMAZING wearing them knowing you are helping others.
Oh my gosh! Those photos of you and Molly are so ADORABLE!! I love your outfit! I want to buy that striped shirt for sure! And I love the Dampney Shoes, might have to get those for myself for spring 🙂
I am framing one or two for sure! And the Dampney go with EVERYTHING! You’ll LOVE!!!!
Omg Ali those pink shoes are adorable. 💖 You and Molly are so cute in these photos.
So far I’ve only really worn them arond the house because they are soooo comfy! But I can’t wait for Spring to wear them outside!!!!

So glad you love!
Oh my goodness!!! First and foremost these pics of you and Molly are just the cutest!!! She is getting to such a fun age. It will be challenging as well but very fun watching her really develop her little/big personality with all of her new language skills. I miss that so much! Secondly these shoes are too cute! I’m getting at least two pair! Thanks so much! Have a great weekend!!!

Thanks love!
I love them all. Such cute clothes and shoes. Following you is so much fun. You are doing such a great job balancing Momhood and work. It’s not easy. Good luck with the potty training. Lots of patience. Love you all
Thank you Linda! So far she is resisting more than I thought she would so we will see how it goes!
Oh, I love so much you’re raising money for childhood cancers and diseases! My younger brother lost his life to cancer 22 years ago at the age of 6. My family is forever changed and we miss him tremendously. Over the years, I’ve come to understand how important community was to our family while my brother fought (from bringing us food to helping care for me and my sister to making sure our family’s bills were paid on time so my parents could focus on being with my brother) and my gratitude to those who gave has only grown. Your and your followers contributions through this fundraiser will be greatly appreciated by families fighting and will be remembered for years to come. A community giving (in many shapes and forms) toward the fight for these littles lives doesn’t go unnoticed!
Thank you for sharing your story Kimberly. I’m saddened to hear of your families loss but so grateful to hear that your community supported you. xoxo
She isn’t a handful is she, with a mind of her own. Before long she’ll be in school all day, that’ll be tough on mom
She’s a character for sure!
Hi, Ali. Could you tell me what kind of filters or apps you used to enhanced your photos? Thank you so much.
My photographer Ashley took these photos. But I use Lightroom, Pic Tap Go and Filmborn for my iphone pics
Hi Ali! What a cute pair of shoes for an amazing cause! Can you comment on the sizing? I noticed the only run in whole sizes, so I am curious if I should size up or down. Thanks!
Where did you find Molly’s play camera?
Darling pictures of you and Molly! I don’t do Instagram so I didn’t know you are working on potty training with Molly. She seems (from your posts) to be a very bright, strong-willed, confident little girl. I’m guessing that she understands the one-one attention the whole diaper-wearing affords both she and Riley and she’s not ready to give that up. I am betting that in the not-to-distant future, she’ll just decide she’s ready and be done with diapers.❤️
Hi Ali,
I absolutely love the outfits on both you and Molly!! You are definitely inspiring my spring wardrobe! Sending much love to you and your beautiful family xo
OMG, I can’t with these photos! Holy cuteness ❤️. This made my day. You can see the love between you too, priceless.
Really would like to know the blouse you wore March 5th on home and family
Ali,
Molly’s and Riley’s personalities are so joyful! Your videos just make me smile! Thank you for sharing!
Ali…..I love these jeans and I’ve seen the money you in a few pics so I decided to buy a pair. They were so tight on me! Do these run small? Do you need to buy a size or two larger than you normally wear? Made me so sad because they look so super cute on you!
So sorry they don’t fit right. But YES, they run small (I believe it say so on Nordstrom’s site) so you’ll wanna size up! I should have said that in the copy. Sorry!!! Good thing is Nordstrom makes it so easy to return! And you can get the size up!
