Fall Shoe Favorites
If there is one thing I love, it's shoes. Of all the details an outfit incorporates, shoes are by far my favorite and usually what I start with when creating a certain look. Here are some favorites of mine that I'm swooning over for fall. Enjoy!

I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend! Mine has been filled with picnics, movies, breakfast dates, and even some personal styling help. The biggest sale of the year is going on right now, even bigger than Black Friday, and items are selling out quick! I've already missed a couple of things on my wishlist, but still was able to scoop up quite a few goodies. My wallet may not be happy, but my closet sure is. You know you're going to need some Fall items anyway so why not get them while they're on sale? Of course I'm talking about the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale that runs until August 2nd. The prices will automatically go back up on the 3rd. Do not hesitate to shop this sale! There are so many fabulous pieces that have me swooning. Above are some of my favorites and many of the pieces I already bought. Also I've listed some sizing info that may be helpful on the pieces I purchased.

Happy Friday loves! I teamed up again with Bumpstyle Box to bring you some more chic looks for any moma to be's out there. Even non pregnant women would be able to wear the fringe kimono that I'm completely obsessed with. See my previous post with Bumpstyle here. What I love about Bumpstyle is that they deliver straight to your door. It's a completely hassle free process, something all women can appreciate. Once you provide some basic style information in regards to what size you wear, what fashion or trends you prefer, a stylist then picks out certain pieces based upon your input. A credit card number is required to complete the process, but is not charged until you decide upon which pieces you would like to keep. Shipping to and from your house is prepaid by Bumpstyle Box. Another little convenience that makes life much easier. Bumpstyle Box takes the time to get to know you, picks out the perfect pieces, and then sends them straight to your door. Once you pick out what you like, you can send the rest back and start enjoying your new clothes!
Being in my 9th month with only 11 more days to go, I love the process and kind customer service Bumpstyle has. My first experience with them was fantastic and this second time around was no different. I received my UPS tracking number to inform me when my bump box would arrive. Within five business days, my perfect pieces were here and fit my personal style to a tee. The three looks above are perfect for the summer weather and can be styled so many different ways. The floral top with the fluttery sleeves is fantastic for your everyday wear. I felt so comfortable in it and loved the way it felt against my skin. The rose printed dress is great for a night out or even a nice daytime function. I wanted to dress it up a bit and added some strappy sandals. The fringe kimono has the prettiest boho vibe and is completely on trend right now.
I hope everyone enjoys their weekend!

Read MoreCape Cod Chic
Do you ever find yourself day dreaming about a vacation or an island paradise you wish you were at? Mine is Cape Cod, specifically the village of Hyannis. My dad and I traveled up there for a little weekend getaway, our last trip together before baby Ava arrives, which made it all the more special....
Read MoreNautical
Yay for Friday! I thought it would be appropriate to have some nautical/4th of July inspiration since I'll be in Cape Cod this weekend. I've been currently loving all things red, white and blue. I've always adored nautical styles, but especially during this time of the year......

Happy Thursday lovelies! I don't know about you, but this week is just flying by for me. I'm thinking that wonderful three day weekend has something to do with it. If only every weekend could be like that!
Today I wanted to share a fabulous fashion and lifestyle illustrator Mayandree Michel of M. Michel Illustration. She recently created this beautiful fashion portrait of me from one of my most favorite outfits that I wore for Easter. It's a bit hard to tell, but I was five months pregnant at the time with little Ava. She's now making more of an appearance with the bump. I had the best time talking with Mayandree through the entire creative process and I could not be more thrilled with the results! As soon as I saw the completed art, I smiled so wide and instantly showed my husband and dad who thought the illustration was so beautifully done. The attention to details and coloring is spot on. I cannot stop looking at how lovely her artwork is and feel so honored to have found not only a beautiful illustrator, but also someone who is kind and sweet to work with.
Please take a look at some of Mayandree's other designs and custom illustrations here at her Etsy shop. Let me tell you too, for any other bloggers reading this, having a custom illustration done in one of your favorite outfits is an absolute must. It's something you can hang in your home and also have on your blog.
You can also reach M. Michel Illustration on facebook, on her Instragram, or on twitter.
Thank you to M. Michel Illustration for sponsoring this post.

Date Night Inspirtaion
I've been having a big crush on polka dots lately. Can you blame me?? This adorable print got me thinking about my weekly inspiration post which quickly became a date night outfit idea. This even has a kind of grown up Minnie Mouse appeal to it. I love pairing black and white together with a pop of red and a hint of gold. It feels so very parisian chic. Shop the outfit details above. Enjoy your Wednesday everyone!
High Tea
Happy Wednesday loves! As usual, Wednesday is always devoted to inspiration and today I chose High Tea for the theme. One of my favorite memories is having tea with my mom while we watched Murder She Wrote or just chatted about life. Also, while on vacation in Rehoboth Beach, we would always go for high tea at the Plaza Hotel. She absolutely adored it. Everything is available to shop with the links above.
Spring Time Wants
Happy Wednesday! This spring I'm craving all of these pretty prints and flowy pieces. All of the jewelry is from the Pink Peonies Collection and is simply divine. I'm really crushing on the blush scattered ring right now and at a price point of only $45, I think it might just be my next purchase! Shop all of the pieces above. Enjoy!
Spring Time Bags and Shoes
Inspiration
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!

You Had Me At Pastel
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!

Sweet Dreams
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!
