If you don’t follow me over on Instagram you are probably wondering about the radio silence these past few weeks. My sweet baby Eli Garrett Barlow was born on the 6th of August and I have been loving every moment of this sweet newborn heaven. He is better than anything I could have dreamed of and he is the perfect addition to our family!

I hope to get his birth story up on the blog soon, but I did want to pop in and share my very last maternity look. This one I shot 3 days before I gave birth, so its as close to full term as you’re gonna get! This dress is one of the few maternity dresses I purchased during this pregnancy and I love love it.  I wore it to my birthday dinner with some of my girlfriends. The material is thick scuba-like fabric and I love the florals. I am really going to miss being able to wear it now that I’m not pregnant!  A lot of the sizes are already sold out, but there is an almost identical dress in plenty of sizes here, and one very similar that is non-maternity here!

Thank you for all of your kind words and congratulations. I am soaking up these first few precious weeks as much as I can!

DRAPED

DRESS: RACHEL ZOE FOR A PEA IN THE POD | KIMONO: MADE BY ME (TUTORIAL HERE) SIMILAR HERE AND HERE | SHOES: STEVE MADDEN | HAT: J.CREW | BAG: STELLA & DOT | NECKLACE: SIMILAR | SUNGLASSES: URBAN OUTFITTERS | WRISTS: MICHAEL KORS, SIMILAR
And just like that it’s April. It’s been crazy hot around these parts lately and I can already tell that this is going to be another summer filled to the brim with sundresses and maxis. This dress from the Rachel Zoe collection for A Pea in the Pod is spot on. It’s made of a high quality knit and has an extra drapey detail that makes it extra Rachel-esque. Pile it right on top of my summer wardrobe please.

MIRRORED

Dress: Asos | Shoes: Nordstrom | Bag Tory Burch (Similar here and here) | Necklace: Baublebar | Sunglasses: Chicwish (similar) | Watch: Michael Kors | Earrings: Gorjana
Welcome to November!  I hope you all had a great Halloween.  We trick-or-treated through the dreamiest neighborhood with some of our closest friends and then let the kids pass out candy.  The night ended with 15 little sugar rushes bouncing off the wall.  Such a fun night!
It’s no secret how much I am loving floral print lately.  I fell in love with this mirrored pattern right away, and the embossed fabric is fantastic!

This jacket is one of my favorites pieces ever.  With such a loud show-stopper, I opted for muted blacks and blues to keep that jacket as the center of attention.  Happy Monday!
