Current clothing faves.

Regular blogging, she said, right?  Whoops.  Seriously...I'm trying.  I swear I'll get more consistent.  Anyways...  

Madewell is killing me right now.  The idea of spending more on maternity clothes that won't fit in three months is too much to stand, but I am still running out of stuff to wear, so I decided to try some things on the in the store recently (Holla - store close to home!) and holy cow, they are winning this season.  Madewell is one of those brands that I find doesn't look as cute on the website or hangers as it does in person.  Here were my favorites...Some outer layers to wear over maternity tanks and tees and then a few other tops that can expand. 


This long cardigan.  I typically don't wear long cardigans because of my height, but this one seems to work - I think it must be the weight.  


Look at this you guys.  You are wearing a sweatshirt.  But you look like you are wearing a structured jacket.  BOOM. 


This shirt is incredible. Works with a belly, but would have bought without.  I sized up one size and am looking forward to wearing it after pregnancy as well.  I basically want it in every color.


Resisted this baby for now.  But it's so stinking cute.  It'd be a tunic with the bump for sure, but a dress otherwise.  :)


Also, here are those maternity jeans I keep talking about and wear them the majority of the week.   This was actually my first pair of madewell jeans.  Looking forward to trying some real ones postpartum.

Other non-maternity clothing that works with the bump or otherwise (some of these are the ones I have posted on IG stories). Also, let's be honest - if it works with a bump, it will work with a mom belly (mom bellies unite!)...
- Caslon sweatshirt and peplum tee (long-sleeve version available now, too!) 
- Basically all of my work shirts have been from The Loft and most of them actually work the first 6- 7 months of pregnancy.  But, again, my favorites otherwise because mom belly and no ironing.  Ain't nobody got time for that. 

Also, for those specifically wanting maternity clothing ideas...
- My favorite maternity tees and tanks hands down from The Gap
- J Brand Mama J Jeans 
- Anything hatch collection - obsessed with their fall collection (but love this top specifically)
-Bodycon dresses from Target

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 ...
