Striped Skirt

April 13, 2015 in fashion, photography

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! I spent mine with family and friends antiquing, getting dinner and ice cream, taking hikes, baby showers, and of course catching up on some reading and t.v. shows. One rule I had was to "unplug" whenever I was with my loved ones so I could give them my undivided attention instead of having my face glued to my phone. I caught up with as many people as I could on Sunday when I re-plugged myself, and I am always amazed by the lovely inspiration I see, so I did feel better about that since I consider so many on IG to be friends as well! Also, the weather was starting to warm up which meant going outside without a coat was possible. Definitely a win in my book.

This outfit started with the striped skirt, which is stretchy and great for still fitting, being comfortable and totally wearable for anyone. The polka dot shoes gave this some pizazz and a cute little twist. I've been wearing them non-stop lately. My little baby bump is starting to really show too. She's been quite the little kicker lately.

Happy Friday all! Nothing excites me more than a tulle skirt, especially one that is Disney inspired! The sweatshirt, skirt, and heels are all from Lauren Conrad's Cinderella collection for Kohls. Everything fits true to size and is so comfortable. Unfortunetly the sweatshirt is sold out, but the t-shirt with the same print is still available and the blue skirt is sold out, but the green floral pattern that I wore a few posts back for "Garden Party" is still available and linked above. LC also just announced her next Disney collection inspired by none other than Minnie Mouse! I am so looking forward to this one and hoping there are some stretchy pieces for me to wear! Enjoy your weekend loves!

Blush Trench

Blush Trench

Blush has always been a favorite color of mine and even more so now that we found out we're having a baby girl. I've always been drawn to its softness and how romantic it feels. As soon as I saw this trench coat my heart fluttered with happiness. Not only is the color beautiful with the black piping, but it is an amazing transitional piece being just heavy enough for the cooler weather, but not overwhelming for when it gets a bit warmer. On a side note, it's been raining non-stop here so this is coming in very handy!

Sprin Time Bags and Shoes by amandabrezovsky on Polyvore

Now that Spring has sprung, I've been thinking about bright colors along with soft pastel ones. Both are so perfect for spring as well as the upcoming summer season. Here's some pretty accessories I've been eying up lately. The white clutch and floral heels I already bought and absolutely love. Enjoy this inspiration!

Citrus Cutie

I hope everyone had the most wonderful Easter with their family and loved ones. I had a lovely day spent with my family beginning at church and then going to brunch to relax and enjoy the day. I picked up this Target shirt last week and fell in love with its bright sunny yellow color. These Shoedazzle heels also caught my eye with their sparkly embellishment and pretty floral details. I also got the blue/pink shade they come in. How could you resist?! Lately the weather has been starting to warm up, but we've been having some major cloud cover. Whenever the weather seems dreary, I always try to wear something bright and colorful.

Garden Party

Happy Friday loves! Nothing says spring to me like pastel colors and I cannot seem to stop wearing them! This skirt reminds me of a beautiful garden blooming with the loveliest of flowers . I wanted to keep the look soft and feminine with colors from the skirt. This would be another great option for an Easter outfit. Speaking of, I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

White Lace with Blush

Can you believe Easter is right around the corner this Sunday?!? Time really does fly by, but with this spring holiday comes (hopefully) warmer weather, sunshine, blooming buds, and pretty outfits with a lighter feel. I always tend to lean towards a white dress for Easter and this lacy one could not be more perfect, though it was a bit tight with this growing belly of mine! Blush tones compliment this perfectly and feel oh so lovely for spring. I cannot wait to see what everyone else will be wearing for their Easter outfits! Enjoy your holiday.

Happy Wednesday all! Here is another collection of inspiration for you. To me, Easter always means pastel colors or white dresses. I love how dreamy everything feels. Enjoy!

Spring Fling

While it may be officially spring, it certainly still does not feel like it in PA. I'm determined to not wear any more winter clothing though and instead opt for cheery spring colors and fabrics. The snow is finally starting to melt so that is always a plus. It was also very windy when I photographed this outfit so my hair was going everywhere! Nothing says spring to me quite like florals do and this tired chiffon skirt fits the bill perfectly. The polka dot bow buckle and daisy adorned clutch really add to the light hearted happiness spring always offers.

Dad's Birthday Party

Ever since my mom passed we have been celebrating my dad's birthday at my house. I love having the chance to host the party and getting to entertain everyone. This year my dad turned 61 and we planned on treating him to dinner and then having cake and coffee back at my house. Angel food cake has always been the staple in my family and I love serving fresh strawberries with it. My brother's girlfriend also made an amazing apple strudel, she'll be a famous chef one day mark my words!, along with the coffee. I used happy birthday confetti to decorate the tables and cake plate, balloons by the fireplace, and banners placed along the walls and fireplace as well. It was such a fun night to enjoy with the family and show my dad how much he is loved.

Last year we had a big celebration since it was my dad's 60th. I really wanted go all out for him and he truly deserves it. We all went out to dinner on his birthday and then hosted a similar dessert party back at my house. Then, a few days later, we drove down to Hotel Hershey for a fabulous Sunday brunch. This had to be the best brunch I have ever had and seen. What a beautiful setting to relax and enjoy. They had every kind of food and dessert you could imagine. I'm glad we were able to do it and make his birthday so special. This happened right before I started this blog last year and never had a chance to share so what better time then when celebrating his birthday this year.

Happy Spring

First Day of Spring

This is technically a few days late, but these photos were taken on the first day of spring and surprise! It snowed 3-5 inches in North Eastern Pennsylvania, which if you live here is really no surprise at all. Winter lasts a minimum of seven months, sometimes longer. Sigh. I could really use some of that California sunshine right about now! I refused to dress for winter on the first day of spring so I pulled out my rain boots, rain jacket, a punchy peach colored dress, and my new satchel from Target. They have so many colorful purses right now that are absolutely wonderful. I would highly recommend stopping in at your local store to check out a few pieces. The only winter item I put on was my vintage hat because it was a bit frigid outside!

A Day at the Zoo

I took a much needed break yesterday since I've been battling this cold, which took a slight turn for the worse, and could not be happier that I did. Nothing like a little rest to help heal the body. This is a bitter sweet post since it is my last California outfit, but oh what a fun day we had at the San Diego zoo! I wanted something that was comfortable since I knew we would be walking around the whole day. I picked up these espadrilles at a Target in San Diego, that has two floors!, and absolutely fell in love with the tropical print and comfort of them! You will not be disappointed with these. The tote was great for storing anything we bought and even my camera when I did not want to lug it around my neck anymore. Let me just say also that tunics are absolutely perfect for pregnancy. I was so comfy in this and adore that I can wear it afterwards as well. A win-win situation in my book.

Since sleep and relaxation have been on my mind quite a bit this past week, I thought it would be fitting to have a little sweet dream inspiration. After all, we spend 1/3 of our life sleeping! Might as well make it as lovely as possible. Enjoy!

I hope everyone had a lovely weekend! I'm been trying to get over this never ending cold I picked up in California so needless to say, I've been very tired and worn out lately. With all of that aside, this fun Spring time look is so cheery with its pretty pink flamingo and candy colored bag, it simply makes me smile. Navy blue was the base color for my tank and skirt with pops of playful pink to brighten up the look and a light weight blazer to pull it all together. The hat I purchased the day before in Coronado at the French Room quickly became a favorite I wore everywhere. I also fell in love with these cute little beaded bracelets I got at the French Room with their stunning blue colors and romantic wording of "love."

Coronado Island

Happy Friday everyone! Nothing makes me happier than getting closer to the weekend and Friday night takes the cake. This look was all about cool minty and blues hues as we spent our day at the beach and bike riding around Coronado Island. My little slice of paradise. Of course, some shopping was done as you can see in the first picture, which is where I scored this beautiful hat at the French Room on the island. It's a beautiful boutique filled with charming treasures sure to please every fashion palette.

This day was all about lounging on the beach. We went to La Jolla Shores and spent the whole day laying on the beach watching the ocean until sunset when we packed the car back up and then went back down to the beach to see the sun dip down into the ocean. It was a wonderfully relaxing day and just what I wanted. I used this LC Lauren Conrad sweater as a swim suit cover up. I love the lacy details and white colors. So fresh and romantic for the beach. The stripped dress is actually a maternity one from Target. It's the only maternity piece of clothing I own currently. It was so comfortable to wear, especially on a low key day.

Nautical

This was one of my most favorite outfits that I wore on the trip. I had envisioned the nautical look and then hunted down the perfect pieces to create it. After staying with our friends over night, we traveled down the Pacific Coast Highway and eventually reached San Diego. This was our first day actually being in San Diego and we spent it on Coronado Island, my new paradise. We rode bikes around the island and watched the sunset on the beach. All of these pieces fit so perfectly together and I absolutely adore anything that has a nautical theme to it. I also love how all of these pieces can be worn with different outfits to create a completely new look.

Happy Monday. Today is an exciting post since it starts my vacation outfits, but also because my sweet husband is making an appearance! Justin really wanted to have a California feel for this trip and bought so many new clothes for it. I was so proud of him! I wanted to have a beachy relaxed feel to most of my outfits since I was traveling pregnant and did not know if I would suddenly get bigger or stay relatively the same size. We started the day off in Santa Monica and then traveled up to L.A. to see the Hollywood sign and visit Grauman's Chinese Theater. It was truly a dream come true for me seeing as how I adore classic Hollywood and so many artifacts still remain from those days. I was seeing stars in my eyes. Also note the tiniest bit of a baby bump showing. We went on this trip specifically as a baby moon.

Happy Friday! Another end to the work week and the beginning of a fabulous weekend ahead. The color combination of black, white, and red has always had me swooning and feeling very chic. If there is one color that would count as a show stopper, it most certainly would be red. Enjoy your weekend lovelies!
