I have such a tough time finding the perfect pair of high waisted denim (don’t we all?!) I have a small waist, with hips so they usually either make me look wide, or fit awkwardly. When I found this pair, I felt like they were heaven sent! Let’s just say I am having to hold myself back from buying every single style that Urban Outfitters…
It feels so good to throw on my old favorites, these overalls! They were my go-to staple when I lived in Florida, and years later they’re still so easy to throw on. Having a baby totally strips my time to myself in the morning, so I’ve learned to minimize my wardrobe and make it easy to grab my favorite staples. In my opinion, everyone should…
We finally made it to Florida! We spent our New Years Eve at our best friends home – they live in the woods of a gorgeous state park in Jensen Beach, Florida. We sat around a bonfire, and were in bed by 12:01 after playing a game of Yahtzee… are we old?! haha. I think we are… I’ll be sharing more photos from Miami soon!…
Hello from Asheville, NC! We’ve been making our way down to Florida for a New Years Eve bonfire at our best friends’ house, with a few fun stops along the way. We spent a night in this adorable “moonbeam” cabin, cozied up by the fire. I absolutely love road trips, but the toughest part for me is packing light for the journey. I always want…
It doesn’t seem like it’s going to be a white Christmas, but luckily we did get to see some snow before we leave for Miami for a month! It was glorious, and we snapped these on the short walk into the diner (don’t worry, I didn’t freeze because I was not outside for too long!) By the way, yes we are heading to Miami right…
1 & 2. The Holiday Party: Sometimes you just need a classic red dress. It works every year, at every holiday party! I’ve worn this one to a few already. !function(d,s,id){var e, p = /^http:/.test(d.location) ? ‘http’ : ‘https’;if(!d.getElementById(id)) {e = d.createElement(s);e.id = id;e.src = p + ‘://’ + ‘widgets.rewardstyle.com’ + ‘/js/shopthepost.js’;d.body.appendChild(e);}if(typeof window.__stp === ‘object’) if(d.readyState === ‘complete’) {window.__stp.init();}}(document, ‘script’, ‘shopthepost-script’); JavaScript is currently…
It feels so great to be able to get dressed up and head out for a night on the town again, after being uncomfortable and pregnant for what felt like forever! I’ve become a pro at wearing Hudson out, so we can still enjoy holiday parties & events, and he LOVES it and sleeps the entire time on me. The noise is so soothing for…
Bringing Hudson home from the hospital is a day I will never ever forget. I get teary eyed just thinking about it. It was November 9th, the morning after the presidential election results were announced. The sky was overcast, but the trees were beautiful fall colors outside of our hospital room window. As we drove home, my eyes were peeled on Hudson as I sat…
One of the toughest parts of being a first time mom is figuring out everything you need, and what will work best in your lifestyle. Matt and I are do-ers – we like to travel light, and get out of the house as much as we can, so we knew our baby gear would have to reflect this. Here’s a list of the things that…
Last year we cut our own tree in upstate NY, but this year we wanted to find somewhere a bit closer to bring Hudson! We stumbled upon Mike’s cut your own tree farm out East, and it was perfect for a day of festive Christmas decorating! Hudson slept through the entire thing, but we’ll make sure to show him the pictures as proof that he…
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 I am not a huge fan of crowds, so i’ve been loving shopping all of these sales from my bed! Here’s a few of my favorite promotions, and some of my top finds for less! Hope this helps you with some holiday shopping! J.Crew: Everything is 40% off!…
Everything becomes more challenging to accomplish with a newborn. There’s certain things I just know we’ll have to skip this year, like visiting the tree in Rockefeller center because of the crowds, but I am feeling super accomplished after tackling some holiday shopping with Hudson in tow! It was his first time in NYC, and we couldn’t have done it without the help of UberX.…
I’ve been feeling comfortable enough to whip out the boob and adventure into the world with our baby boy. We changed him in the trunk of the car, I fed him on a bench in a park looking out at the statue of liberty, and this whole parenting thing is starting to get a little easier. Red Hook is one of our favorite places in…
Thanks to Zappos.com and Rockport for partnering on this post! One of my biggest priorities after labor was to take care of myself and find the time to get dressed every day, and get out of the house. I know, maybe I am crazy for being unable to sit still in PJ’s, but I love this time of the year, and I hate the feeling…
It is hard to put the experience of laboring a baby into words, and while I am usually not sappy or overly maternal, the experience changed me. It changed my marriage. It changed my body. It changed my entire life. It’s something that was so difficult, but so worth it, and I couldn’t imagine living life not experiencing it. Here goes, here is my birth…
Pregnancy is weird. I wasn’t ever the kind of person who felt like I had maternal instincts, or like my life would revolve around becoming a mom, but I admit I did wonder how my own story would be written, and how I would look with this belly on me. Would we find out we were expecting out of the blue, or would we plan…
We said we wanted to be Team Zissou all year, so I had to make it happen! One of my favorite things is DIY halloween costumes (see other years here, here, here and here) and this one probably took the longest of any I’ve made. I thrifted the actual clothing, and then made the patches with felt & puffy paint. All of the blue detailing…
Tomorrow is my due date, and here we are still waiting. We went to the doctor on Thursday, and I was told if I was having contractions they would send me to labor & delivery (and I knew that I was having some, just was not sure if they were Braxton Hicks or the real thing). Turns out it was false labor. I had my…
It’s OFFICIALLY Halloween week! I pretty much wait for this week for the entire year, and I am so excited it’s here. Who knows where I’ll be (possibly in labor & delivery) but I still took a day to make a costume for Matt, baby and I and I’ll be sharing it soon. The leaves are in full swing, and I’ve been wearing all of…
Thanks to Zappos.com and Kamik for partnering on this post! With beautiful Fall in full swing, and Winter right around the corner, it’s my favorite time of the year to step outside! The weather is BEAUTIFUL, and there’s leaves everywhere. It’s pure heaven, especially since i’m pretty uncomfortable and super pregnant (39 weeks!) I was definitely in the market for a stylish pair of boots…
