It happened – the greatest thing to ever happen to Maternity clothing! Madewell made MATERNITY JEANS, and just in time for the upcoming Fall, when I just so happen to be preggers. Let’s just say I yelped when I found out… and I’m here to give you the scoop on the different styles, and how they fit. The great thing about these jeans are that…
This jumpsuit is everything. It’s chic, comfortable, stylish and best of all, I can still wear it. I wish I could have it in a ton of colors and patterns, because it’s the closest piece to perfection that I’ve found in a while! NYC has been hot, and I can’t lie, I am excited for the temps to drop a bit. 65 degrees sounds…
There is nothing worse than saying goodbye to your favorite brands during pregnancy (except maybe saying goodbye to high waisted skirts & jeans). But, you guys, I found a loophole! There is, in fact a way to keep wearing your favorite brands while pregnant. ENTER MADEWELL. Seriously, at 6.5 months pregnant, I am still shopping at my favorite store, and feeling a tiny morsel more…
It’s wild how much changes every year (and how quickly the years fly by!) Last year I had a different home, a different job and I had no clue that I would be pregnant this year! But 28 was a wonderful year filled with all extremely positive changes in my life! We finally moved to a home we’re going to stay in for a while,…
I was pretty devastated at the thought of going through a summer being unable to wear my high waisted favorites. That is, until I realized you can still wear a high waist during pregnancy! Of course I had to give up my high waisted jeans and vintage levi’s cut-offs, but high waisted skirts with elastic waistlines are amazing to wear during pregnancy! Here’s a few…
There’s two things that never fail to make me smile – going on a bike ride, and eating things with a spoon (like cereal, and yogurt.. and ice cream, of course!) I’ve been thinking a lot about how to try to translate that calm feeling of biking, wind in my hair and grin on my face, into the rest of my existence. I know that…
The most difficult part of pregnancy, for me (aside from the discomforts, of course) is putting on this new hat that I am not 100% comfortable with yet. Do I show the world my bump?? Do I let them know?! To be honest, I felt the same way when we first got married. Saying “my husband” and being A WIFE was pretty frightening. But with…
We snapped these in Brooklyn the other evening, before we ate noodles at King Noodle and went to see my friends band, Such Hounds, play at a local venue! We’ve been taking full advantage of these date nights, because I know they will be really hard to enjoy once the baby is around (and lets be honest, I’m sure we won’t want to leave him…
NY is finally HOT, and I couldn’t be more excited about it. I am so thankful that I get to be pregnant during the summertime when I can wear light and flowy dresses like this one! We’ve been spending most of our days on the beach or in Brooklyn! Here’s some photos from Clinton Hill, our new favorite place in Brooklyn to hangout. One of…
Pregnancy does interesting things to the way we view ourselves. Some days I look at my 1000 times more curvy body and I cringe at myself, and others I am proud of it and I want to wear a dress like this to show the world. I (of course) knew that my body would grow, and part of that is SO exciting. Every morning matt…
Traveling upstate to Beacon, New Paltz, Cold Spring and all the cute little surrounding towns is one of our favorite things to do in Spring/ Summer / Fall. The vibe was SO different from the last time we went in the Fall! The blooms are unreal, and we finally upgraded to a 6-person tent for more room, which we named the “tent-mahal” because it’s so…
Spring came and went, or never really fully arrived. I was a bit bummed because I got amazing sandals from Frye that I’ve been dying to wear with a maxi dress, but instead I got to take these Frye Jackie Zip Short boots from HauteLook out for a spin, and they’re just as wonderful! I usually lean toward boots with skinnier ankles, but for some…
Since it’s been warmer outside, it’s been fun to put on fancier dresses for date night with Matt! I’ve been all about Mexican food lately, so we went out to Panchos which is a few minutes from our house. I felt so fancy, it made me feel like twirling! I found this perfect Spring outfit at Ted Baker, I always love how feminine their pieces…
Teddy Roosevelt loved Sagamore Hill and spent most of his life there, and since he is one of Matt’s favorite presidents we toured his home a few weeks back and fell in love. The property surrounding his home is beautiful. We saw it covered in snow, and we were lucky enough to see it in bloom! There’s a mile hiking trail which leads into this…
So excited to call today my “Friday.” It’s Matt’s birthday tomorrow, so we’re spending the day together in Brooklyn. He’s going to get my weenie tattoo (if he can get a walk-in appointment) so we match, and then we’re going to grab lunch at Katz deli. We pretty much never spend weekdays just exploring Brooklyn/ NYC so it will be a blast. Then we’re having…
Matt and I are off to Portland, Oregon today! We’re flying after work this evening, and luckily because of the time difference we arrive in time to wander around and grab some dinner! Thank you all so much for your incredible suggestions of things to do on instagram, we’re going to tackle as many of them as we can (with Voodoo donuts as #1)! I’ll…
I have to admit, when I created this blog 6 years ago, I didn’t quite know what I was getting myself into (or that marketing would blossom into my career). It’s brought me SO many incredible opportunities that I didn’t even think I ever deserved (and still don’t think I deserve), and I am forever grateful for that. But, it comes with a trade-off. It…
UO Jacket | UO bag | UO tee Spring is HERE, which means… (aside from blooms and warmer weather) FESTIVALS! Last year we went to shaky knees fest, and this year we are in for SXSW, and still figuring out the rest! hey! festivals are the perfect time to be spontaneous and book a ticket randomly, right? Aside from looking for the perfect spring denim jacket, i…
Spring is (basically) here, and we’ve been outside soaking in the gorgeous warm[er] weather. Every time the seasons change, I always like to add a few “new” staples to freshen up my closet, but it’s definitely not the most affordable hobby a gal can have. I was so excited to find thredUP this season. They sell women’s and kids secondhand clothes from brands like Madewell…
Similar overall dress | J.Crew turtleneck It has been grey out, and quite warm which I am a HUGE fan of! I’ve been busy over here between working, styling blog shoots and figuring out how to find time to travel with matt and tag along on some of his fun journeys. He is headed to South Africa for work (I couldn’t make that one 🙁…
