Accessorizing for Fall

It’s that time of year when we start slowly easing into fall. Pumpkin spice everything (+ everywhere!), cute bomber jackets, suede boots, and cooler weather! I am having fun creating new ways to style my 25 week baby bump, but I am not going to lie – sometimes it is really challenging! I am used to throwing on my ripped skinny jeans and a huge chunky knit for fall. Somehow I just don’t see myself squeezing into those same skinny jeans this year ;) Although I am seriously DYING to get my little paws on this pair by Lovers + Friends. I am considering buying them to have for post baby – they can be like my motivation to get my pre-pregnancy body back asap. Good idea, right?!

Because fitting into all of my normal clothes isn’t something that is going to happen right now, I love dressing up simple outfits with fun accessories. My dress is non-maternity and under $60, such a great deal – it also comes in a deep burgundy color, perfect for fall! Also, as you can see my choker obsession is still going strong! I have been obsessing over this one in my post – anything with onyx and gold and I am game!

Oh, and I can't forget - one of my favorite ways to accessorize now that I am pregnant is with an ORGANIC Spray Tan! Yes, I said ORGANIC. I am super careful about what I put on my body now that I am pregnant and love that I can get a glow and keep it organic at the same time. For my local babes – Blush Tan in La Jolla offers this service and I have seriously been obsessed. It is the perfect way to make me feel just a little bit better on those days I am feeling especially pasty (if ya know what I mean?!). Check ‘em out and give them code ‘BLAMEITONBARNEYS20’ to get 20% off your spray tan – you won’t regret it!

Hope you are all getting through the week okay, only 2 more days till the weekend!

A Saturday Well Spent

I woke up today feeling motivated which is why I love the weekends. It gives me time to wind down from a busy work week and focus on things in my life that I really love spending time on. I spent time this morning baking muffins - omg so domesticated. But I am LITERALLY obsessed with these dark chocolate cherry muffins! Cherries are out of season so today I switched it up - fingers crossed they turn out good.

My new thing lately while doing tasks such as baking, driving, getting ready, etc. is to listen to podcasts. I have become addicted! I have to have a good podcast if I am going to be in the car for more than 30 minutes. It is a great way to gain knowledge while otherwise doing something you do on a daily basis. Today I listened to the most recent episode of Girlboss Radio with Sophia Amoruso from Nasty Gal. Each week she interviews a badass girl in business and it never fails to motivate me!

Anyhow, hope you are all enjoying your weekend. I wanted to share this post with you before too long. I bought this double-buckle belt recently and love that I can wear it over top of my bump now and at my true waist in the future. I got a size small and it fits great - for now ;)

Pink Blush Giveaway

Happy Monday! This week is kind of a fresh start for me. As some of you may know I work a 9-5 job during the week and am starting a new team with new hours – working 6am – 3pm! Eeek! Yes, it is going to take just a little getting used to, but I figure with our upcoming new addition it will be nice to be able to get off work early to go home and spend time with him.

In more exciting news I have partnered with Pink BlushMaternity to give one of my lucky readers a $75 gift card for their online shop! They have THE cutest maternity clothes, I am seriously obsessed. I received this dress about a week and a half ago and have already worn it more times than I would like to admit! And, even better – they are actually affordable. I don’t mind spending a little bit more money on something that is quality but sometimes the prices of maternity clothes really surprise me. I mean, if you are only planning on wearing it for a few months it is hard to justify spending LOADS of cash on one item!
