Kiehl’s eye treatment.  I started using this cream about a month ago and I love it!  My skin became super dry during pregnancy and I tried tons of moisturizing products.  This one is great.  Plus, I’ve got pretty sensitive skin and eyes, and I have had no issues with this cream.

Bisou sneakers.  “Bisou” is french word that means “kiss”, and it is the name of my little pug.  So needless to say, j’adore these sneaks!

Lace dress.  Sweet lace skater dress for less than $60?!?!!  I love a little white dress for spring and summer.

14k Gold Initial Disc Necklace. I have a necklace/charms very similar to these, but they are Helena Ficora  . These are a super cute alternative from Nordstrom! I have a charm for the initials of my kiddos!

Wayf Lace Midi Dress. Need a last minute Easter dress? This gorgeous dress is perfect! Lace, ruffles, and a pretty  spring color- also, under $100!

Chelsea28 Tiered Lace Midi Skirt. Going along with my girl, lace, ruffle trend- this skirt is GORGEOUS! It looks way more expensive than $99!

Coconut skin smoothie.  It’s a priming moisturizer that brightens, smooths, and visibly blurs pores and imperfections.  And it smells like summer!  I got a sample size of this a couple weeks ago and I’ve been trying it out.  So far I’m loving it!  I’m trying to get my skin happy and go makeup-free more, and I find myself reaching for this moisturizer.  Only bummer is that it doesn’t have sunscreen built in.

Tie side sweater.  This little number is perfect to throw on over a bikini for beach days when the wind picks up, or layer over a flowy blouse.  Loving the cute tie detail.

Studded slide sandals.  Again, at 9 months pregnant, I am loving any shoe I can slide my feet into without the need to bend over.  And the studded detail on these sides are on trend.  Just check out Christian Louboutin’s spring lineup… studs, studs, and more studs!  ps.  these slides are way more affordable though 😉

Topshop origami top. I love how different this top is! Plus the pretty spring color.

Zella workout tee. It’s no secret I love some workout clothes! I may need to add this fun top to my collection.

Melika one piece. How gorgeous is the back on this one piece suit?! I’m always looking for a unique one piece – and this one foots the bill.

Endless Rose blouse.  Feminine and flirty.  How I wish I could fit into this right now.

BareMinerals Bareskin.  I have 2 different concealers in my makeup arsenal these days, and this is one of them.  It’s perfect for a lighter coverage, particularly under eyes and around the nose.

Starla flats.  In love with the little stars and metallic leather.  Yasss!!!

Aj’s obsessions

See by Chloe Espadrilles. I’m loving these for spring. I’m craving all things sun, sand, and beach related- and these take me right to that positive space!

Free People top. I love Free People. They will forever be one of my favorites. This top is perfect in so many ways- especially the I’m about to eat way too much at dinner and don’t want to suck it in look 😉

Carrie Tie-waist Dress. Love this flirty, fun colored dress! Perfect for spring!

Not sure if it’s the current festival season vibe coming through, or the fact that I’m 8 months pregs and loving everything loose, flowy, and easy to slip on — but I am feeling a boho chic vibe this week.

Free People maxi dress.  Great dress to slip into whether you’re pregs or not!  It’s got a simple black slip underlay, but can be paired with leggings if you are nervous about the side slit.

Free People shift dress.  Wear it as a dress or a tunic, the florals on this are perfect for spring.

Birkenstock ‘Boston’.  Also available here.  I haven’t owned a pair of Birks since college, but I’m desperate for some wide comfy clogs that I can slip on and go.  I love what the Birkenstock marketing folks did pairing the Boston clog with a sleek all black ensemble topped with a city chic camel coat.  I applaud the effort to spread beyond the brand’s nature loving tree hugger reputation.

Aj’s obsessions

 Anthro Lace Top. I’m loving the lace on this! It’s heavier than normal, which I like. Plus, the detail on the sleeves and edges is so pretty!

 Rolling Stones 94 Tee. I love a good t shirt. I have more than I can count and I keep adding to the collection. Make it a vintage band tee and I’m doubly sold.

Religion Frill Maxi Dress.  Love the ruffling added to this dress- Plus, it’s a floral but the colors make it less in your face than a lot I’ve seen lately. Love.

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.
