Phew, it’s been a whirlwind of a month and I just want to say ‘thank you’ for hanging in there while I’m not as active on IGS and everything else. I know everyone understands, but there’s definitely a part of this job that makes you feel out of it if you’re not working and posting, even on maternity leave.

I’m excited to take most of June off to be with Charlie and the fam and to rest up before taking on more work in July. Until then, I’ll be sharing glimpses of newborn life and can’t wait to be back in action.

TOP 10 ITEMS SHOPPED AND LOVED BY TTD READERS IN THE MONTH OF APRIL:

1. Tennis Graphic Sweatshirt

I have been living in a combination of oversized sweatshirts, biker shorts, and comfy sneakers, and this sweatshirt is in heavy rotation. I shared what I’ve been wearing postpartum in this blog post if you’re interested.

2. High Waist Bike Shorts

Biker shorts in general have been my saving grace throughout maternity + postpartum. Now that I’m out of my maternity biker shorts, this is by far my favorite pair.

3. Nightstand

We honestly love our nightstands and have been really happy with them! For all the details on our bedroom + bedding, head to this blog post.

4. Studded Huggies

I’ve had these for almost a year now and they’re holding up nicely. You can see how I style them on my ear stack here.

5. Sandal Flip Flops

These are pretty low stock in the tan color I have, but I’m hopeful they’ll restock popular sizes soon.

6. Round Sunglasses

Can’t beat the price on these $17 round sunnies. It’s nice that you don’t have to be so precious with more budget-friendly sunglasses.

7. Long Sleeve Coverup

If we’re headed to the beach, pool, or lake, chances are I’m in this cover-up. It also looks cute with a bodysuit and denim shorts (I’m eyeing this pair btw).

8. Reanna Slide Sandal

A repeat top seller this month and I understand why. Love these for the square toe sandal trend and they come in several colors.

9. Clear Pouches

I feel like a broken record talking about these water-proof bags but I use them every day. I have my beauty essentials in them (see here) and I move them from bag to bag, I use them in the diaper bag, when traveling, etc.

10. Padded Cassette Bag

This luxe-inspired bag made it to the Top 10 the last few months and I’m still reaching for mine often. The quality is great and you can’t beat the price of $99. I have a whole blog post on luxe-inspired accessories if you’re looking for more.
