Cropped Trench Coat

CROPPED TRENCH COAT similar | MAMA LEGGINGS | TOP | SNEAKERS

Casual days 4-LIFE! This cropped trench coat is giving this casual outfit of the day some major flair, and I love it. As I get into the second trimester, things are most definitely getting tighter. So today I’m wearing my first pair of maternity leggings by H&M. They are so comfortable, lightweight, and soft. Paired with a non-maternity, peplum top, the cropped coat and leggings make the perfect casual look. Not to mention, I just picked up these affordable sneakers, and I can’t take them off. Don’t you guys love casual days too?!

Baby Nursery Planning

When we found out we were expecting, one of the first things that excited me was planning the baby nursery. I’ve always dreamed of designing the perfect little space, and now I finally have the opportunity. I spent hours skimming Pinterest for the right decor inspiration, and once I knew I had it, I started visual planning.

Laying out my ideas in several different collages allowed Evan to clearly see the direction of the design. I knew I wanted to keep things very gender neutral, clean, and green. I love a modern meets bohemian vibe, and these were the original ideas behind my nursery design.

Since adopting the official concept, it’s been full steam ahead. We’ve picked out our crib, crib sheet, accent pillows, a rug and a few small accents. Slowly but surely it’s coming together just how I envisioned it.

Once I had a few key items, I knew I needed to bring some “natural” green elements to the space. I needed some plants, but with the number of animals we have, it’s important I look for artificial plants that are so good, they look real and natural. That’s when my search for the perfect, palm tree plant began. I found this gorgeous natural, golden cane palm tree, read the reviews, hit purchase, and had it delivered. It is truly the best looking artificial plant I have ever seen.

Now that I have most of my major items purchased, plus a few storage pieces, book shelves, and artwork, I am ready to stock my baby registry with all of the other baby essentials. I clearly can’t wait for the remainder of the pregnancy process, as I’ve had so much fun in the first trimester alone.

Any special requests for content that you guys want to see during my pregnancy? I also love sharing this with you guys, so ask away. Next up, once we know the gender, I will start sharing some wardrobe building articles. Cheers to BABY SHARP!

Snake Print Jacket

Give me ALL the animal prints this season! I have been a huge fan of animal prints, in a mild fashion, this winter and I plan to incorporate more this spring. Today’s star of the show is of course, this snake print bomber jacket. It’s so fun, I’ve already worn it 3 times since receiving it. It’s not just fun either, it’s comfy and easy to wear with a growing baby bump. I will be able to wear this piece well into my pregnancy this spring and summer.
A snake print piece is the perfect way to jazz up any basics hiding in your wardrobe. For instance, I threw my jacket on with a simple black tee, black jeans, and booties. For spring, you can pair this snake print with a midi dress or a tee and skirt combo. Your styling options are almost endless.
Every now and then you find a trendy piece that gives you a lot of bang for your buck. This snake print jacket is one of them. I always say to be careful with trends, because you don’t know their longevity. This piece is not a concern for me, because I know it will be worn, time and time again.
PS – should I mention I am WILDLY afraid of snakes? It doesn’t make this jacket any less special, but damn, this is as close as I’ll get to the real deal.

Bohemian Florals

BLOUSE | DENIM | BOOTIES

Bohemian floral prints are the BEST floral prints. This affordable top is UNDER $20 and is so cute for regular wear, or maternity wear. This flowing blouse has plenty of room for a growing bump, or can be worn tucked in with high waisted jeans for my non pregnant friends. I have a feeling I’ll be wearing a lot of non-maternity pieces during my pregnancy, so stay tuned for how I incorporate those styles into my every day outfits. For now, I’ll be sporting this bohemian floral print blouse for many spring days ahead.
