Stretchy pants.

I never thought I'd say this, but I'm tired of my stretchy pants.  I really do think maternity clothes are an amazing invention, but I'm longing for zippers and buttons.  And I'm sick of pulling my pants up every few minutes.  And I don't know how to deal with all my shirts getting shorter (aka my belly getting bigger)...my height has never allowed me that problem.  And I think it's further spurred by the fact that I'm dying to wear some brightly colored tights (like these)...why do they only have maternity tights in black?  Maternity land tends to lack color all around...Bummer.  That said, though, I wanted to put up some of my favorites so far (here was my first set of faves).  There is some cute stuff.  The type of stuff that has made me feel better, especially during these past few weeks of exponential growth.  :)  Here they are:




Gap Maternity Always Skinny Jeans.


Gap Maternity Embellished Tee.


Gap Maternity Stretch Crewneck Tee.




Gap Maternity Cowlneck Dress.


Liz Lange for Target Jacket.


A Pea in the Pod 3/4 Tee.

And to get in a pop of color or pizzaz, I've been attempting to add cardigans from Ann Taylor Loft (side note: check this coat out...and this cardi while you're at it) or J. Crew, some jewelry from Anthropologie, and my animal print flats.

Another Chewbeads Giveaway - Open until 6/11.

YAY!   Another Chewbeads Necklace Giveaway – the Turquoise Hudson !   Giveaway will close on Monday, 6/11 at 10pm – winner will be announced by Wednesday evening. So, this go around, the necklace is a gift from me as a thank you for reading or visiting this tiny little blog.  Also, because it’s really fun to give stuff away.   So, I’ll be giving away one specific necklace, the Turquoise Hudson , since it seemed to be the overall favorite last time!   Chewbeads have actually even improved since the last giveaway - they're now lighter weight and don't snag on long hair! You all know I’m a little obsessed with them , and I still wear them, even with E at 16 months.   Actually, she was just chewing on them the other day (same day as the pic above– I swear she chews on them, I just never catch it).   And – she cries for the Charles bangles when I wear them.   She’s convinced they are hers, I assume.   So...Who c...

Land of Nod Giveaway!!! (CLOSED)

Giveaway is CLOSED. Giveaway, it's a giveaway!!! $50 Land of Nod Gift Card! I'm obsessed with The Land of Nod .  I'm sure this is no surprise.  As you know, a whole lot of Eloise's room came from there.  And we continue to loooove, love, love their products.  SO, just recently, they came out with some amazing and adorable new products .  I can't get over how cute the new beddings are...these would have seriously been in the running for EA had they existed then.  And the blue Jenny Lind bed is the perfect shade of aqua, all funky and polished at the same time.  In love.  And, if you happen to like poufs, too, a faux leather (and somewhat cheaper) version of one for kids (or adults).  Oh, yes, and the rugs...seriously amazing...  I need to stop.   Anyways, these sweet people at the Land of Nod have offered to give one lucky reader a 50 dollar gift card .  Yep, that's right.  I'm pretty stinking excited.  I ...
