Holiday Dressing: Merry & Bright

Merry & Bright.  I had recently purchased this extra bright pink coat & randomly came across this sweatshirt featured on insta.  A brand I had never heard of, but instantly pictured this sweatshirt paired with that perfect pink coat & bought it on the spot.  I've been really good about over-thinking purchases & not just buying all the trendy items.  This? This I could not resist. To be fair, it's a cozy sweatshirt with a holiday phrase...win, win.  I love the way this outfit turned out!

Make Me Blush

Wow, time is flying...it’s hard to believe it’s been a few weeks since I’ve shared anything fashion-related! We’ve been soaking up all these newborn snuggles & making sure these big sisters of his are still being spoiled. I have a few posts left with this bump of mine, which I already miss.

These sneakers are one of my favs, especially for spring. The color is perfect & im excited to get more use out of them now that the swelling in my feet/ankles has disapated. This tunic? Also a huge hit post-partum due to its coverage & it’s light weight fabric. Popped on my new fav earrings for the season & some white denim to finish off this look...

Kiss, Kiss

This tunic was my Valentine's gift from the Mr. (I totally buy my own gifts & he wraps them...anyone else do this?) & I've gotten a ton of use out of it so far, especially lately with the weather settling down. It's sold out a few times, but I happened to track it down on eBay for about half the price! I quickly paired this with my new fav taupe ankle booties & these perfect white tassel earrings I picked up on our last Target trip.

Today marks 38 weeks prego for this mama-of-three-to-be & I'm just playing the waiting game...jk, we're trying to just locate everything we're going to need for baby & anything we'll need to keep sane once he's here! We're getting down to the wire & I'm getting so excited to meet this peanut...

Goodbye To The Way Things Were

Phew, another crazy morning in the books! Switching utilities over between two different cities that are hours apart requires a little more legwork than I previously estimated.  All done & ready to go for this weekend though, so I have at least accomplished something today.  I have been saying some goodbyes to the way things were already more than anticipated, but I'm still left feeling oh so excited for this move.  Most of all, us girls are excited to see the Mr. each & every night!

I discovered this sweater while packing up my closet & was thrilled! It has been tough to find items long enough to cover the bump & it was a happy surprise.  I cannot wait to 'shop' in my own closet again after baby boy makes his appearance & style more rediscovered pieces I too found packing...

Recapping 2018: December

The last & final month to recap from 2018. We've come so far this year, it's insane to see how much our family has changed.  We had a very busy, memorable December.  We jumped through hoops to get our first home on the market & keep it clean for showings, we've mastered this long-distance schedule (that doesn't make it any easier however), & we had a few weeks of uninterrupted family of four time that we'll never get back.  We visited Santa, we Christmas shopped, we made Santa cupcakes because mom can't master cookies (hello, goal for 2019), we drove through a holiday light display (that was on my list for the past few years now), made an epic Christmas Eve feast, got to play Santa for toddlers who were so excited for Christmas morning, & watched loads of football games.  I turned 33, wrapped up work for 2018, attended the Noon Year's Eve party for the second year in a row (and probably the last with the upcoming move), whipped up a surf 'n turf dinner in sparkly sequin leggings, drank a bottle of sparkling grape juice, let the girls do sparklers (for the first time) & set-off confetti poppers in the house.  We did not make it to midnight & spent new years day in pj's, refusing to leave the house even for a minute until we had to on the 2nd.

Thank you to everyone who has followed along & continues to follow along, I'm grateful to have a space to serve as my creative outlet!
