Ash’s obsessions

Pink Lace Dress.  Thinking ahead to Easter or just craving a spring dress?  This pink lace dress is perfect!

Wildflower Fields Tunic.  Really loving the florals here.  This top is super versatile too!  Button it up for a more modest office-friendly outfit, or leave unbuttoned and pair with jeans and heels for a perfect date look.

Lilibet Dress.  Another fun pick for spring!  The color-blocking on this dress adds height and the ruffles are totes on trend.  Oh – and there are pockets!!  Love.

Aj’s obsessions

Sephora Collection Ultra Shine Lip Gel. These have become my new go-to for an inexpensive lip gloss. There are so many colors and at only $12 each, I love to buy a bunch and have many to choose from! I have 3 new ones in my purse right now!

Vesper Midi Pencil Dress. How pretty of an Easter dress would this be!? Love the pale pink (obviously we are in to that color right now!), the great sleeves, and the midi length.

Adidas Originals in Dusty Pink. Let’s just keep with the pink theme, shall we? The ‘dusty pink’ color mixed with them being ‘pearlescent’ has me sold! Plus, let’s be honest – the only day I’m probably not wearing some form of a sneaker is on Sunday’s when I’m at church. The more the merrier!

pj packing for hospital

At 8 months pregnant, my feet are swollen and my belly is getting bigger by the day.  Comfort is key, but I still want to look cute – even in my pjs!  So I started looking for some lounge wear to get me through these last couple months and have me delivering in style.

 And if you’re looking for a gift for a mom-to-be, I highly recommend a beautiful robe from Pink Blush!  The two I bought are linked below.

Ash’s obsessions

T Tahari Wool Coat.  Belted wool wrap coat is perfect for transitioning from winter to spring.  Versatile color and length– I want it now!

Pink Suede Slides.  Just got these!  I’m pregs to the point that bending down to put on shoes is super annoying, so when I saw these beauties I had to have them!  PS.  I recommend sizing up half a size to keep them from looking too short.

Topshop Ruffle Dress.  Super cute dress!  Girlie and flirty, but the color keeps it grounded.  If I weren’t pregnant this would be in my closet now.

 

Aj’s obsessions

Perforated Platform Sneaker.   I don’t know how many shoes I own in this style (too many) but there is a reason! They are comfy and cute- and these with the laser cut outs are no exception! Did I mention they come in metallic? Swoon.

Cutout Side Swimsuit.  I’m obsessed. Mara Hoffman always nails it with her swimsuits. Love the colors, pattern, and cutouts! Perfect for any pool or beach occasion.

Sweatpants.  I’m in the middle of moving, so let’s be honest- unless it’s a pair of sweatpants or workout gear, I’m not wearing it right now! These are under $30 and come in 3 great colors. I love the grey and the pale pink!

OOTD: the maxi

Now at 32 weeks, my baby bump and bust have grown to the point where dressing is becoming increasingly difficult.  Maxi dresses are a current fave because they are easy to put on, super comfy, and still feminine.  Here are two recent finds that I’m super excited about – and I’m hoping to still wear them after the baby is born since
NEITHER ARE ‘MATERNITY’ DRESSES!

Madrid Maxi Dress by Ghost London.  If the dress is sold out online, check the sale room of your local Anthro store!  There were several in the sale room when I picked mine up earlier this week.  The dress seems to run a bit big IMO, so you may want to consider sizing down.  I mean, I’m wearing my normal anthro size here at 8 months pregnant… just sayin’.

The Aquazzura Wild Fringed Suede Sandal were a an obsession of mine that I had to have.  Different retailers carry different colors like these cognac ones here, pomegranate ones here and (currently on sale!!) here, gray ones (currently on sale!!) here, black ones here, and beige ones here.

I love love LOVE these shoes!  The block heel makes them sturdy, and the adjustable straps allow me to get them laced up even when my feet and ankles are at their most swollen.  Give up heels? Never!

Another recent maxi find is this great Billabong Maxi Dress, also available here, and (currently on sale!!) here.  This one I had to size up 2 sizes from my non-pregnant size in order to accommodate the baby bump and expanded bust (seriously boobs… enough already!?!).

And these booties have been GREAT during pregnancy.  Easy to slip on and off and super comfy.

They are also super versatile, pairing great with maxi dresses, shifts, and cropped jeans.

OOTD: denim dress

A couple years ago I picked up a chambray shirtdress on sale at Anthropologie and I have worn and loved it many times since.

Here I wore it to Tamber Bey Vineyards.  As an aside, if you’re looking for a beautiful winery in Calistoga (Napa), Tamber Bey has great wine, horses, and a spacious patio!

And here I wore it to Chateau Montelena Winery, another great winery in Calistoga (Napa).  Before visiting Chateau Montelena though, I highly recommend watching Bottle Shock – a comedy/drama that tells the story of Chateau Montelena and California wines.

Don’t yet have a denim dress, or feel like you’re ready for a new one?  There are so many options this season!  Here are jut a few —

Farryn Laced-Back Shirtdress |  Fringed Chambray Button Down  |  Luna Denim Shift

Open-Shoulder Chambray Shift  |  Open Sky Denim Dress  |  Ruffled Denim Shift Dress

DV Sam Bootie  |  Harrow Suede Bootie  |  Vince Camuto Bootie

Calhoun Cutout Bootie  |  Star Studded Bootie  |  Iris Fringe Bootie

And while we’re on the subject, who could forget the denim on denim sported by Britney and Justin at the AMAs over 15 years ago.  (Has it really been that long?!!)
