Dressing The Bump

Happy Monday readers!!!  I got some fb messages after my post on Saturday about dressing your pregnancy bump.  It isn't easy and it is sometimes hard to be stylish but it can be done. I also think it's important to buy pieces you can wear even after you are pregnant and working to get your body back.  Below are some of my go to pieces to dress the bump in style!

1.  J.Crew Cut-offs

 J.Crew has dipped their toe in the maternity pond and I am so happy about it.  I really like the cut of their maternity pants and shorts.  I got a J.Crew gift card for my birthday and immediately snapped up the white cut-offs and the minnie pant.  

 This weekend I scored the denim cut-offs on super sale!  I highly recommend J.Crew pants while prego and I know the minnie pants will be perfect for wearing home from the hospital.

 2.  V-Neck Tops

 I really love a v-neck top even when I'm not pregnant.  I think they are a flattering fit, great for layering and are super comfy.  I am wearing some right now that are maternity and some that are not and I have been super pleased with both options.  I will wear these with black pants and a blazer for work or shorts on the weekend.  Either way they are by far my favorite!

3.  Comfy Bras

 During and after pregnancy comfy bras are a must!  I normally hit up intimacy for my bras but read an awesome article about Chantelle bras.  I took a chance and ordered one online and I am hooked.  I warn you they are pricey!  However, being comfortable right now is super important to me so I was willing to pay extra.  :)

4.  Fun Flats

 Right now I'm still able to rock a heel or wedge pretty well but I know those days are coming to a close.  However, if I'm going to wear flats I want it to be fun and stylish.  I am loving the options below!!  A few may have to make there way into my closet.....but don't tell the hubs.

5.  Gap/Old Navy

 For everything else I might need in my maternity wardrobe I hit up Gap and Old Navy.  They have very reasonably priced pieces that stand the test of time.  I also really like that they have the basics you need at a great price!

The Truth, The Whole Truth and Nothing But The Truth

I don't really want to write this post.  I want to crawl in my bed, with the covers over my head and watch the real housewives of nyc seasons 1 and 2 (before Jill and Bethenny hate each other).  I don't want to talk to anyone, see anyone or answer my phone.  In fact it's been on silent for the past three days.   I am writing this post because I started this blog as a living, breathing diary.  It is a fluid documentation of my life and what is going on right now.  Unfortunately what is going on right now isn't a fun trip, a great product recommendation or a great style entry... it is real life.   This week something sad happened to me and the hubs, we had a miscarriage.  I will tell you that I hate the word miscarriage it seems clinical to me.  What I have said is we lost the baby because that is how it feels to me.   Without boring you or scaring you with too many details I knew something wasn't exactly right.  I started bleeding and was away from home and my

At Home Facial Favs

Image
Happy Monday!  I hope you and yours had a great weekend.   On Sunday I gave myself an at home facial and documented some of it on my instastories and got 100 questions, ha!  So I figured I would share what I used here.   The first question I got was the frequency in which I do at home facials and I don't do them as much as I want to or probably should.  I aim for once a week but it's probably every other week.  I love going to a spa and getting a kick ass facial but there isn't always time and sometimes they can be pricey so I've developed an at home routine for myself. I will say as I get older my skin is changing so I'm having to investigate new and different products.  My skin is sensitive, prone to breakouts and can be super dry and super oily so it's a constant juggle for me to find products that actually work for me.  Recently I've been using a ton of philosophy products and I have loved every, single one of them so far!  I also love that you get

A Sad Season

I have to tell you that these past few months and perhaps this year have been hard and yes sad.  My mother told me when we were talking about it that I was experiencing "a sad season" and I have to agree. Now this doesn't mean that everything has been awful, sad and terrible.  I haven't been in bed for weeks at a time with the covers over my head watching trash tv.  Instead I feel like it has been one of those times were the hits just keep on coming.  The bad news just keeps rolling in like ocean waves.  It has been a time of tremendous loss and sadness.  The events that have occurred aren't the same but it felt like every time I would get my ahead above water something else would happen.   It has been difficult because there are happy times mixed in to all of the sad.  In those times of happiness I have genuinely tried to be in the moment but my heart wasn't in the right place.  My heart has not felt happy and there has been an undercurrent of sadness tha
