While the holidays are a time to dress up, they're also a great chance to sit back and relax with family at home. And when I'm lounging around at home, I don't want to be in anything that isn't supremely comfortable.
I was browsing one of my favorite new sites, Lyst.com, to look for comfy, fitted tunics I could wear with leggings during and after pregnancy. A suggestion for a site I'd never heard of called Tobi came up, and they had a great deal on the exact shirts I was looking for. I decided to give it a go, and I'm so glad I did! The shirts are exactly what I wanted - comfy, stretchy material and fitted in just the right places, at the forearms and hips. I'm so glad I bought them in all three colors! :)

Hello lovely readers!
I am now at 35 weeks!
The sweet folks over at Pink Blush Maternity sent me some maternity/nursing tops to review and feature on the blog. In these photos, I'm wearing their criss-cross draped knit maternity/nursing top (available here). You know how much I love this neckline for maternity - it's completely flattering during this time - and the cinched sides take in your waist while giving you extra belly support. If you're in the market for maternity or nursing clothes, be sure to check them out! They have a great range of basics. I'd noticed the sweaters were a bit snug, so I'd keep in mind to maybe order a size up. And if you have any Pink Blush outfits, be sure to share them with #PrettyinPinkBlush for your chance to win a $250 gift card to their site!
The skirt here is from Asos Maternity which has also been one of my favorite places to shop during pregnancy. While I've missed trying out cute new trends during this time, Asos has had some great, stylish pieces in their maternity section. This pencil skirt has a cool leather panel down the side that adds a little texture and style.

I don't know about you, but this wintry weather has got me thinking about coats! Here are some of my fave styles for every budget this season.
Hello there!
One of my favorite things to do in the fall is to go to nearby markets and check out local vendors. Recently I went to DC Meet Market in Logan Circle, where there were some great vendors selling their interesting designs! One vendor was selling gorgeous handknit pieces she sourced from Peru. Another created upcycled furniture pieces, and yet another had the cutest idea that converted a foodtruck into fashion and accessories boutique! You never know what you're gonna find when you go, which is half the adventure!
We finished up with snacks at Le Diplomate, which had the yummiest Vietnamese coffee ever!

Thanksgiving is just a day away! And if you're entertaining this year, you know table settings and decor are (almost!) just as important as food.
Here's some of my favorite table decor right now. You don't always have to go with orange and pumpkins. One of the best combinations is a chic mix of gold and silver, and you can throw in an elegant winter aubergine for some color.

Hello there lovely readers!
I'm at 30 weeks now (that's 7 1/2 months)... so the big day is approaching quickly! And I've started having dreams of meeting the little one. In the last one, she spoke perfect English at birth and was telling me, "Mommy, everything's gonna be OK!" :)
In the shots below, we took a coffee break at a cute corner bakery in Old Town Alexandria I'd been wanting to try out for a while called Bittersweet.

Adding ultra-feminine touches like an open collar shirt with dainty layered necklaces, patent leather pointy stilettos and a fitted waistcoat make the menswear trend look right for even the girliest girls.
