Happy Monday babes! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Ours was pretty busy with photoshoots and my niece’s 5th birthday party, I can’t believe she’s 5 already, but still had a lot of fun! She had a super hero party and looked adorable in her little Wonder Woman outfit! So today I have the cutest summer dress! You know how much I love yellow and this one with the flowy fit is just too cute! The tiered ruffles are so fun and give it the perfect amount of boho! I paired it with some lace up sandals and accessorized with a fringe bag. I finished the look with my round sunnies and choker. I hope you all have a great start to the week! <3

Blushing

Shannon Jenkins of Upbeat Soles styles a cute summer maternity outfit with blush Chicwish midi dress, Dolce Vita block heels, and straw hat

Happy Friday Eve everyone! I did a double take before writing that because I thought there is no way it is Thursday already! This week flew! Also I just want to say Happy birthday to my mama!! She reads my blog every day (and usually tells me all my typos ;p), but she’s amazing and one of my biggest supporters so of course I have to give her a shout out on her day! So today I am wearing one of my favorite dresses right now! I wore this for our gender reveal party and got so many compliments! The blush color is to die for and I love the little bow details on the sleeves. Also the button up front gives it a cute boho feel. I paired it with some chunky heel suede sandals making this look perfect for brunch and a straw hat. I finished the look with a layered necklace and sunnies. I hope you all have an amazing weekend! <3

1st Trimester Bump Update

Shannon Jenkins of Upbeat Soles gives a first trimester bump update and talks about craving, moods, and food aversions

Happy hump day loves, or should I say bump day! I am excited to be sharing my very first bump update with you all! I am going to get into all about my first trimester, but honestly I was a bit lucky and it wasn’t all that eventful! When I first found out around 4 weeks my very first and only symptom was sore breasts and boy did they keep getting soarer and soarer as the weeks went on! I couldn’t stand to wear bras! Then came the fatigue! Ugh after going to the store made me feel like I needed a nap! Then around week 6 a bit of nausea started to kick in. Mine kind of came in waves but it was pretty mild. I never got to the point where I felt like I was going to vomit, thank goodness! I more had the feeling that everything, especially smells, made me want to gag! Going to the grocery store was awful smelling the mix of food. I would literally start gagging walking down the aisles. So cute right?! Along with that fabulous gagging feeling came major food aversions. For about 2 weeks the only things I could eat were carbs! That is all I wanted. Don’t bring anything else near me! I am lucky I only had 2 really bad weeks of feeling like that and as I hit around 9 weeks each week increasingly became better and I felt more like myself. Now that I hit my second trimester I have to remind myself that I am pregnant because I feel completely normal! They say your second trimester is a breeze and I am lucky mine has been so far, knock on wood! I will update you though once I get half way through the second trimester!

Embroidery and Fringe

Happy Monday loves! I hope you all had a fabulous weekend! Griffin and I celebrated our 6 year anniversary and kept it low key this year but still had lots of fun! We checked out some places we have been wanting to try locally and then went to our favorite Italian restaurant Saturday and it was just what I needed! One of my biggest cravings so far has been cheese ravioli and this place has cheese ravioli with bolognese sauce and it’s to die for!! I almost wanted to order an extra plate so I could eat it again this week haha! Ok now on to today’s look! How adorable is this embroidered babydoll top?! You know how much I love embroidery and I love the flowy bottom! It’s also perfect for disguising the awkward bump phase I am now in where it just looks like I ate too much haha! I paired it with some boyfriend jeans that are super comfy and peep toe fringe booties. I finished the look with a fringe bag and favorite hat. I hope you all have a fabulous start to your week! <3

Happy almost Friday loves!! Griffin and I are soooooo excited to announce Baby J is a BOY!!!! We are so excited to finally be able to start planning and everything is now feeling so real!! I am already going boy clothes and nursery crazy! If you are a boy mom send me all the cute boy clothes stores!! Griffin is also super pumped for a little boy to play golf with haha! Now we just need to figure out his name! We had a lot of potential girl names lined up but for some reason boy names have been really tough for us! Hoping to narrow one down soon! As for my dress I don’t think I have ever seen a prettier dress! The ruffles are so gorgeous, fun, and unique! It is also currently on sale fully stocked! We have an exciting weekend ahead and doing a mini staycation for our 6 year anniversary. We decided to just do fun things around town and skip the trip this year to save money towards all the baby stuff we will be getting the next few months. I cannot believe it has been 6 years already! We have so much to celebrate this year and I cannot wait to see Griffin become a father! He is going to be the best daddy in the universe! I am beyond lucky! I am praying our son is just like him! Because if he’s like me we may be in a bit of trouble ;p I hope you all have the best weekend! <3

Happy Hump day babes! We are in the home stretch to the weekend! Over the weekend we went over to one of our favorite parts of New Smyrna for a bite to eat at Outriggers. The place has such a fun atmosphere and has the cutest rental houses close by that make you feel like you’re in Key West! I wore this adorable blue eyelet dress that was perfect for the scorching weather! I love the embroidered eyelet and scalloped hemline. It is also flowy enough for a growing bump! I paired it with my favorite studded block heel sandals and accessorized with my round sunnies and ring bag. I hope you all have a fabulous Wednesday! <3

Summer Camo

This post is sponsored by Kohl’s. I was paid for this post and received the included shoes as compensation.

Happy Monday loves! I hope everyone had a great weekend! One pair of shoes I don’t think you can ever have too many of are sandals! They are also so comfortable, easy to slide on, and go with pretty much any outfit! I just love these ones from Kohl’s madden NYC brand! They come in so many different colors too! Of course I had to scoop up the camo print ones and the classic taupe suede! I also love that the suede can be great for fall transition for those warmer fall days. They would be so cute with a pair of cropped jeans and long cozy cardigan! They are also having a Fall Sale right now where most sandals are under $40 (originally $49!)! For my look today I paired my camo sandals with a denim mini skirt and mockneck bodysuit. To add a bit of edge I accessorized with a double buckle belt and black hat. I hope you all have a wonderful Monday!<3

Patio Decor

Shannon Jenkins of Upbeat soles talks about the must have patio decor for summer 2018

Happy Tuesday babes! I hope you all are having a fabulous start to your week! One of our summer house projects was to redo our patio/pool area so I have been in major patio decor mode! If you all saw my IG stories from last week you saw I scored this patio set on major sale! It is beautiful and by far the best deal I could find! I went with a bit of a boho look outdoors and definitely want to add lots of potted plants. I just love these hanging pots and they would look so cute with some draped plants! Another one of my purchases was this outdoor rug. I love the color and print and it looks great with the white cushions! I’ve been dying for a swinging chair forever but unfortunately I don’t think we will have enough room for it. Maybe at our next house! I hope you all have a great Tuesday! <3
