Now and Then

Skirt (Dress) & Brooch: Vintage // Thrifted
Hat: Borrowed from the Mr.
Top: Modcloth
Shoes: Seychelles







Oh hello there darlings, 

I'm finally back to my home front and getting settled once again into this glorious little thing called a daily routine...trust me, I couldn't be happier!  Living out of a suitcase is not necessarily ideal especially when you are 33 weeks along - but no complaints here, it's always nice to get out of town if just for a bit and visit family and the hometown, and the city of Philly of course.

So now that I am home and kicking my feet back is in order, I'd still say I'm doing a good job of making my closet work for me during this pregnancy.  To date, I only purchased 3 maternity pieces from Asos - which were on sale - not really because I needed them, but because I thought they were especially adorable.  Vintage pieces like this little tent shaped sundress are really where it's at.  This time around, I'm very thankful to be carrying mostly in my belly (and boobs) and not my whole body like my last pregnancy.  Truth be told though, I am eating much healthier now - a lot of fruits and veggies in contrast to the Dunkin Donuts and mocha frappuccinos which I pretty much so ate five days a week while carrying Keane....haha.  My my how things change when you are a few years older :-).

So that's about it.  If you are here on the middle east coast like me, keep warm and cuddly and survive this cold front we are having.  30 - some degrees and freeze warnings?  Spring, where did you go?  Cheers to hot tea and tights and blankets.

Love bunches,

  10. I love that you're making your wardrobe work during pregnancy. I definitely want to do that too! I can't believe you're having a cold snap. We are currently experiencing a heat wave. It's been 104 for the last few days :(

  12. Totally agree that sometimes there is nothing better than to have some routine! When I was in the US I slept for the first time in years in the same bed for six weeks in a row! That was so good!
    Its really great that you can do without buying a bunch of maternity clothes! I hope it will be the same for me, when its time... :)
    You look adorable and I love the picutres! Very artistic :)

  14. You look so adorable - and these photos with your reflection in the water - beautiful! You should be getting a package from me this week! :) We are lucky here in MN to be having a warm spell - 95 yesterday! It's been amazing! I cannot wait to lounge barefoot this weekend and just soak in the sun! Sending you love and sunshine!

  18. I love this so much! It looks so comfy but super stylish. I was thinking how much I loved your striped top with the dress and then you turned around and the top is even cuter! That's great that you really made your closet work for you. You have the best locations for your photos too. I can't believe you are in a cold spell- that is crazy for May. Stay warm!

  19. It's so great that you have so many vintage dresses that work for pregnancy! This one is fantastic and I just adore how the knotted T-shirt looks over it. Such a great stylish, but comfortable touch!

  22. Perfect shots of you and my favourite with your reflection. It's nice to get away, but yes, living out of a suitcase is not the most fun, especially after more than a week. I know! Wonderful dose of colour and printed mix in your outfit! Enjoy your weekend. :-) xo/Madison

    Hope it's way warmer now! We're with the AC full blast right now; it's so hot!
