Trending Now: Velvet

What do you guys think about the resurgence of the velvet trend for this fall/winter season? I feel like every where I look and everything I see is VELVET! Personally, velvet has always been a staple in my closet and something I love to style for fall. It can come off as super luxurious when done right. From runways to street style it is hard to miss the fact that velvet is trending hard right now! 

Finding an item that looks expensive but doesn't break the bank is always what I am looking for when shopping for anything velvet. A lot of the items this season seem to be on the pricier side but I've come up with a list of some of my favorites in a variation of price points!  Check out my picks below! 

Trending Now: Blush Tones

1. Lack of Color hat | 2. Sunday Somewhere Sunglasses | 3. Mansur Gavriel Bag | 4. Stella McCartney Sweater | 5. Adidas Sneakers

Alright, so I know it's fall and all. I am supposed to be into all the maroon, navy, and olive colors that are being seen everywhere I look. But no. For some reason the trend I am drawn to the most right now is BLUSH. Blush everything! Maybe I am a little late on the bandwagon? I mean, yeah, it is a great color for spring and summer - but something about this shade just has a hold on me right now. That Mansur Gavriel bag above - ugh! Too good. Shop some of my favorite blush moments below!

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!

Fall’s Most Wanted | Black Boots

Fall is finally almost upon us and one of fall’s most wanted staples this year (and every year really, right?!) is a great pair of little black booties. For me, I look for something that won’t break the bank – especially these days with a little babe on the way. And something that will be versatile. I want to know if I can wear these booties with black skinny jeans, cut off shorts, little dresses, blue jeans, and more? If the answer is yes I know I am on the right track. Another thing I personally look for is comfort. I tend to go for more of a Chelsea Boot which usually is designed with a lower heel so that I can wear them all day long and multiple days in a row without having to bandage up my feet afterwards. I’ve done the leg work and narrowed down the best options in stores right now. Click below to shop!
