Happy Wednesday everyone! Still enjoying a few days off with Beckam. Totally being cheesy for a second but being a new mom has been better than I ever imagined. So thankful for this sweet boy.
I just can’t get enough of his little face 🙂
I recently found a new line at Nordstrom, Chelsea28, and it has become one of my favorites. I have been looking for a versatile lace piece for Spring and this top was the perfect find. This lace coat is another item I got for Spring I’m excited to wear. I just love all their classic neutral tone pieces.
Hope you all have a great weekend!

PS. Don’t forget to come by and say Hi this weekend! I would love to meet you at the Fashion Blogger Market in downtown Salt Lake at Studio Elevn. I will selling a ton of my clothes (trying to dejunk before the baby). There will be brands like: Equipment, Jbrand, J. Crew, Forever 21, Nordstrom, Target, ASOS, H&M, basically everything I wear on my blog. Sadly some of this stuff is brand new I just missed the time frame to return it. I will also be selling some kids clothes (toddler 2t-5t). Hope to see you there 🙂

I feel like my style is becoming more and more casual as I get closer to my due date. Only 2 and half more weeks until my official due, which really means this little guy could come at any time. I feel like as I transition into a full time mom comfortable layers will become more of my daily style.
I have been eyeing this drape cardigan every time I go in Nordstrom and finally caved in and ordered it. I love the loose look of a long oversized sweater. This grey heathered one is a super cute budget buy. Below are a few more of favorites:
You can’t help but feel happy when your in neons 🙂 I started wearing work out clothes a lot the second half of my pregnancy because they are just so comfortable. A lot of you have asked about staying fit while pregnant and for me it was learning to create a balanced diet.
1. Drinking tons of water
I kept a case of water in my trunk so I could I always be drinking water. I’m on the road a lot so it was convenient for me to just have it in my car. A lot of my friends just got cute big water bottles they just kept filled for the day.
2. Eating fruits and veggies
Fruits never tasted so good! Especially at the end I can’t get enough, but at the beginning I made sure to get my servings. Oranges and apples are really easy on the go and for other fruits like berries and grapes I’d separate into like 5 little baggies in the fridge so it was easy to grab on the go for the week.
3. Greek Yogurt
Greek Yogurt and granola was another daily snack. I’d have it almost every morning a couple hours after breakfast. It is rich in proteins and calcium which are great for the baby and has probiotics which are good for your digestive system.
4. Limit Caffeine
I had about 3-4 caffeine drinks a week [doctors say 16 ounces a day is okay but I just tried to do a little less] Probably one of the most random things I craved, which I never liked before I was pregnant, was Mountain Dew. Talk about caffeine! If I had Mountain Dew I would try to space out my next caffeine drink as long as possible.
5. Dessert
100% I still enjoyed a good sweet! Don’t let yourself feel guilty for a little indulging!
6. Vitamins
At the beginning of my pregnancy regular prenatal vitamins made me sick, so I took the gummies. Gummie Prenatal’s are a great alternative if you get nauseous, just make sure you have a iron supplement with it because most of the gummies don’t have the iron you need for you and the baby.
Being pregnant is so different for everyone, so find what works best for you. My biggest piece of advice is enjoy it and embrace the changes your body is taking! It goes by so fast 🙂

Last week we had a couple days I actually got warm wearing my blazer. Sunsets and tank tops – I admit I fully have Spring fever.

Shoes are usually one of the first things that catch my eye in an outfit. Lace up heels and strappy details have always been my favorite. You can’t help but feel confident and chic when you’re walking in a new pair of shoes 🙂 I had been searching for a good navy pair of heels for Spring, when I stumbled upon these ones from Sole Society. I was really impressed at the comfort and quality for the price. I’m excited to pair them with some white distressed denim for Spring.
I think my next pair will be these cute flats (yes I’m slowly accepting the fact that life with a new baby will probably be more flats than heels 🙂
