while i have always been a homebody, this quarantine has certainly taken that characteristic to a whole new level! throw in the fact that i'm nearly 30 weeks pregnant with twins and the desire to put on anything but my husband's old t-shirt and a pair of baggy pajama shorts has dwindled significantly. but with ...
my favorite pregnancy essentials
hey all you cool cats and kittens (if you know, you know)! i hope you're all staying safe and healthy amidst this quarantine. we're sheltering in place at casa de rivera and i'm doing my best to stay busy with daily studio barre workouts, loads of laundry, and plenty of bravo tv. if you follow ...
target spring dress haul
well, we're in the home stretch, guys! can you believe it?! to keep me outfitted during these final weeks before the twins' arrival, my mom and i did a little shopping at a cute french boutique you may have heard of -tar-jay. it's very fancy, ha! in all seriousness though, target is really stepping up ...
layering the bump
i have been waiting for it to be cool enough to finally wear the coatigan that has taken the style blogging world by storm. i swear this knit has gone in and out of stock a handful of times on mango's website and thankfully i was able to snag it during one of their restocks. ...
non-maternity denim dress
as the days get longer and the weather starts to warm up (yay!), i find myself a bit bored of my current maternity capsule wardrobe. while it may feel as though we're approaching the finish line of this pregnancy, the truth is, we still have at least 12 weeks left. and over the course of ...
something blue
it's wild to think that some of the maternity pieces i ordered when i was first expecting (and barely showing) are finally starting to fit. after seeing this dress on kathleen barnes last fall, i ordered it for myself with the intention of sporting it once my bump was big enough to showcase. at nearly ...
cool mom
whenever i wear this outfit (or some form of it), i always think of that quote from the movie mean girls --"i'm not a regular mom, i'm a cool mom." there's just something about a band tee and faux leather that makes me feel like i'm way hipper than i know myself to be. to ...
what i wore on our babymooon
when it came to booking a little getaway in honor of our last few months as a family of two, there was no questions where we'd be heading -our favorite place in the world, la quinta resort! as you know, we were just there over the thanksgiving holiday and had a wonderful time (we shot ...
maternity style: LBD
after a very chilly winter, we got the first signs of spring yesterday. at nearly 80-degrees at our house, it was the perfect opportunity to test out if my sleeveless LBD could accommodate my growing bump. thankfully the swing silhouette was very kind to my curvier shape and with a couple of straw accessories, i ...
currently crushing: faux leather
someone recently dm'ed me to tell me that faux leather is a mom's best friend. if anything spills on it (which is bound to happen), you can just wipe it clean! brilliant. you already know i've become obsessed with my spanx maternity faux leather leggings (shown above), but i've also started thinking about how i'll ...
