style, stories & everything in between
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. ...
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 ...
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 ...
