Ankle bootie.  Little bit country, little bit girlie, lotta cute!  Love the color and style of these booties to transition from summer to fall.

Drapey jacket.  Another great transition piece.  I love that the sleeves can be rolled up, and there’s also a tie belt to wrap up in cooler temps.

Basic striped dress.  A simple dress for running errands around town.  Just add a blazer and you’re office ready.

Pencil Skirt Postcard Print. This is a fun pencil skirt! What I look for in a pencil skirt is that it hits BELOW the knee- it is so much more flattering than one that hits at the knee or right above it.

Ribbed Midi Dress. Now clearly I won’t be able to wear this anytime soon with my 34wk belly- but you should buy it and rock it! So cute, and for only $51. Wear it casual with flats or dress it up with heels.

Adidas Originals Midi Dress. Love this!! Adidas originals is amazing and a cute, comfy, casual dress is always a good idea.

BFHU – photo project

Our house has been undergoing a renovation for the past 6 months (ughhhh… be done already!).  While our home has come a long way from when we bought it 4 years ago (see original pics here!), it is still a ways from being finished and decorated.  I have once again started working on some budget friendly house updates, or BFHUs.  A recent project being inexpensive wall art.

First I found some photos on my iPhone from various urban hikes around San Francisco that I liked.  Then using my phone I cropped the images, turned them black and white, and ordered some prints at my local Walgreens.

I wanted simple frames with clean lines and white matting.  I ended up going with a couple of CB2 frames for the living room.  They come in various sizes and prices range from $25 to $70.  And I picked up some similar frames from Target for the dining room for $17 each.

And voila!

Inexpensive and meaningful artwork all over the house 🙂

Workout pick-me-up

Alright- the honest truth- this week, I am now 34weeks pregnant and I’m lacking motivation. Motivation to shower, get myself dressed, and definitely to work out. The fatigue has set back in, I’m not sleeping well, and let’s face it- around 4:30 every day it’s like I’m suddenly hauling around an incredibly heavy cinder block. Gravity wins by that point every day and my muscles and ligaments just seem to give up.

BUT, I’ve told myself, as of today, GET OVER IT! 6 more weeks and I’ve done so well up to this point maintaining a healthy-ish, fit-ish pregnancy so I can’t stop now! What have I said before about one of the ways to get your motivation back when you’ve lost it with working out/running?

New gear! 🙂

Here are some of my favorites right now that are sure to get you motivated if you’ve lost your UMPH like I have!

Self-Portrait floral lace dress.  In love with Self-Portrait dresses lately.  I’m headed to a wedding in September and on the look out for a fun dress.  I stumbled upon this one and I’m in love!  It’s not right for late September, but it’s perfect for right now!

Charlotte Tilbury makeup palette.  I just ordered this and I can’t wait to try it out!  I wanted an all-in-one makeup palette to take on trips and stash in my bag for touch-ups.  And this one has it all!  Also available here.

Vince cashmere cardigan coat.  On sale at Nordstrom now!! A super soft and cozy transition piece for early fall.

Tunic Dress. Anthro for the win- as usual. Love this throw on dress.

Callalily Kimono Dress. I guess I am in a dress phase. Maybe because they are comfy and cool for this hot summer weather! Love the bold pattern and colors of this one.

Velvet Pleated Midi Skirt. I love velvet and anything in a metallic. This skirt is so pretty. Oh, and it’s under $40.
