style, stories & everything in between
while i'd say i'm more top 40 (boy bander for life!) than rock n' roll, i have found a recent love for band tees during this pregnancy. perhaps i've been influenced by my sweet husband who is an avid foo fighters fan? whatever the reason, i can't stop collecting them for my maternity wardrobe. my ...
once i started gaining weight from this pregnancy, the first thing i found no longer fit were my jeans (they gave up around week 9). truthfully, the idea of wearing buttoned pants sounded terrible so i wasn't completely heartbroken, but i figured it might be nice to own at least one pair of bump-friendly denim ...
the further i get into this pregnancy, the more comfort becomes a top priority. if it doesn't feel good on my body, most likely this momma isn't going to wear it. as part of our christmas present this year, natalie gifted team natalie borton a pair of birdies flats. i opted for the taupe leather since ...
i am beyond thrilled to share today's post. after admiring her designs for years, i can't believe i'm actually wearing a sonnet james dress! the sweet team at sonnet james gifted me two of their signature 'reese' dresses soon after we found out i was pregnant and i've been anxiously waiting to wear one to ...
in all honesty, i've wanted to do a capsule wardrobe forever and it looks like it only took getting pregnant to finally make it happen! though it may feel like 134967 years, pregnancy is only 40 weeks (most likely less for us since twins tend to arrive earlier than single babies) so i knew i ...
in anticipation of my upcoming maternity capsule wardrobe post (coming monday!), i wanted to showcase one of the outfits i'm excited to put on repeat this winter (weather permitting). i initially saw this skirt on one of my style crushes -shannon of @itstybitsyindulgences. funnily enough i had tried it on months before in the store ...
it feels SO good to have our big secret out in the open! a) because i was having a tough time hiding my growing bump (and boobs!) anymore and b) i have a few fun maternity purchases that i've been dying to wear and feature on the blog. today's post features the very first piece ...
it still feels absolutely surreal typing that sentence. but we have the sonogram on our fridge to prove it -i'm growing human life inside of my belly (technically uterus, duh)! after a long two-year process of ups and downs on our fertility journey, i can shout it from the rooftops --WE'RE PREGNANT! let's back up 2.5 ...
after hearing the praises of these spanx leggings sung for YEARS, i finally decided this winter to be the season i would invest in a pair. and i've never felt cooler. while i'd never describe my personal style as 'edgy,' i will say that i feel like my style has evolved a bit over the ...
two years ago my parents had the novel idea of celebrating my favorite holiday in the desert at the la quinta resort and after an amazing experience, this year we're back for round two. this time we've upgraded our rooms and plan on truly relaxing in style (especially since this is really the only other ...
