Got Chucks On...

 

Dress:  Leith {not a maternity dress}, Jacket:  Madewell, Sneakers:  Converse, Bag:  Mansur Gavriel (also here), Sunnies:  Ray-Ban

 

...with no Saint Laurent (sorry Bruno!)

Before my pregnancy, you would probably catch me in sneakers maybe once a year. 

Now that I'm well into my third trimester, sneakers are my best friend. 

These classic Cons do the trick ~ comfortable and they add the perfect pop of color.

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!

My Baby Shower

Sharing some pictures today from my baby shower which was this past Saturday. I can't thank my mother, mother-in-law, sister-in-laws, and nieces enough for throwing the most beautiful shower I've ever seen. 

It was the perfect day, and I feel so blessed that my closest family and friends were there to shower my baby girl {who officially has a better wardrobe and shoe game than I do}.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful week!

Blue Picket Fence

Dress:  c/o Sheinside, Bag:  C.Wonder (love this similar option), Shoes:  J.Crew (old, similar here), Bracelets:  c/o Gold & Gray, Sunnies:  Forever 21 (similar)

I couldn't resist snapping some pictures in front of this blue picket fence in Folly Beach.

Such a great take on the traditional white picket fence.

You'll have to excuse my severely swollen ankles ~ the heat + walking around the Folly Beach festival for an hour did my poor puppies in!

Happy Monday everyone!

Southern Nights

Dress:  c/o Sheinside, Bag:  C.Wonder (old, LOVE this similar alternative), Sandals:  J.Crew, Bracelet:  c/o Sorrelli, Nails:  OPI "Cajun Shrimp"

 

Happy Monday readers! I'm back and feeling refreshed, lightly tanned, and ready to face the work week.

 

 

My husband and I spent the week in Folly Beach, South Carolina with his family ~ a beach community about 25 minutes outside of Charleston. It was our last getaway before our little girl comes, so I guess you could consider it our 'babymoon'.

 

 

The weather was absolutely perfect ~ 85 and sunny every day ~ so hopefully we brought some warmer temps home with us to NJ.

 

Just two months before baby Royle arrives, and although I have a LOT to do in preparation, I couldn't be more eager to meet her!

 

Hope everyone has a wonderful week!

A Marilyn Moment

Dress:  Nordstrom (under $50 and it's not a maternity dress), Necklace:  Anthropologie x BaubleBar (old, loving this similar option ~ on sale!), Shoes:  c/o Isaac Mizrahi, Clutch:  c/o GiGi New York

In anticipation of my daughters arrival {now less than 10 or so weeks away!!!}, I've been loving all things pink. 

This swingy frock was a shower contender when I purchased it a month ago ~ however ~ I realized that by the time the big day comes {still three weeks away} this "dress" would be a tunic, courtesy of my rapidly growing bump.

I decided to wear it for Easter dinner instead {no, I did not wear this to church}. My family was kind enough not to pass judgement, and since there was no breeze inside I faired just fine {outside was a different story}.

Happy Monday everyone!

Spring Sparkle In My Step

Coat:  J.Crew (old, similar here, also here), Dress (non-maternity):  c/o Nora Gardner, Bag:  Etsy (old, similar here), Shoes:  Zara (old, loving this similar option), Earrings, Ring, and Bracelet:  c/o Sorrelli ~ use code CLASSCOUT20 for 20% off of their entire site now through 4/30/15!

I'm back and getting bigger by the week! We are now in the home stretch (I'm 28 weeks), and I couldn't be more excited for my beautiful baby girl to arrive.

Dressing is becoming quite the challenge these days as now ALL of my regular tops are cropped, and my non-maternity bottoms do not have a prayer. 

I was thrilled to receive this simple, sophisticated dress from Nora Gardner. It's perfect for work and any upcoming events that I have to attend. Best part is it's not a maternity dress so I'll definitely be able to wear it post-pregnancy! 

{Although Nora will be adding some baby bump friendly styles to her store at 47th and Lexington coming in April}.

I jazzed up my look with these gorgeous earrings, ring and bracelet thanks to Sorrelli ~ accessories are my best friends these days because they work no matter how big the belly gets! 

If all of the above weren't exciting enough, the polar vortex known as NJ is finally beginning to thaw. I've seen grass (and by grass I mean lifeless muddy patches of ground) for the first time in months!

Hope everyone has a wonderful week!
