style, stories & everything in between
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
2020 just might be the year of the baby with how many of my girlfriends are pregnant right now! the first of my fellow expectant mommas had her baby shower this weekend and with only a few weeks to go before her baby arrives, it made me so excited for her and all that is ...
i'm no stranger to a good monochromatic outfit, but i had yet to translate that into my maternity style. so for our recent wedding anniversary dinner, i decided to pair two unexpected items to create a groutfit (grey + outfit) of sorts. i bought this skirt when i was about 5-6 weeks pregnant with the ...

it may seem crazy to splurge on a t-shirt, but after adding two anine bing tees to my wardrobe over the last year, i can say they are worth every penny. they are well-made, machine washable, and, as evidenced by today's post, extremely versatile in terms of styling. last time i styled one of anine ...
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 ...
