Baby Shower Dresses for the Mama-to-Be

If you are expecting, congratulations! Between the excitement (and anxiety if we're being honest), you probably have thought about your baby shower. "When is the best time to have my shower?", "What do I register for?",  "What should I wear?" are just a few of the questions that have already popped into your head. I honestly went back and forth on if I even wanted one, but after Katey, my Mom and my Grandma strongly encouraged me to agree and let my friends throw me one, it started to make me really excited. ...

Introducing My Spring Style Guide

Ah, I am so excited to finally share this little spring style guide with you. I always look forward to sharing new content with you and although this season has been a little tricky with shooting projects and still "taking it easy", I really love how this turned out. Even if we did have to take little breaks between each dress. Ha. I've had so many requests for maternity dresses, maternity workwear, non-maternity dresses etc. that I wanted to compile a small list of spring dresses I love, wear often and can check the box of both maternity and non-maternity. Are you out of breath from just from reading that? No, just me?  ...

Rent The Runway Unlimited — Here’s My Honest Review

Back in college, Rent the Runway was my go-to for formals or social events. I could rent a gown or cocktail dress without having to commit to a hefty price tag and still wear the designer dress of my dreams. And though I've been out of college for a little while, I still find this service to be effective. About a year ago, I was introduced to Rent the Runway Unlimited. And it changed the way I shop for clothing. Basically, this service lets you choose up to 4 designer items at a time. And the best part, you can keep them for as long as you'd like or swap them out for something new. PS: To clear the air, this is something I've paid for, no discounts, just a fan who loves this service. Thankfully they took note and I've done a couple of partnerships with RTR throughout the year, but the subscription is something I purchase and keep up with on my own. I've talked about it a lot on my Instagram Stories and had several questions pop up regarding how this works. Hopefully answering these questions helps you decide if this service is right for you! And be sure to keep reading because I'm sharing a special promo for TTD readers.  ...

Cozy Spring Wrap

It's been a rather chilly spring in Dallas and I've been using every opportunity to wrap up in this soft poncho. I originally bought this wrap to use while traveling with my maternity leggings. It reminds me so much of this Alpaca Wrap  (but a fraction of the cost). ...

Where I’m Shopping for Maternity Jeans

Although many women might tell you the last thing they want to wear while pregnant is jeans, I have to disagree. Being someone who wears denim all the time, I knew I wanted to find a few pairs that would be staples throughout my pregnancy. I tried several brands, styles and found 5 that I considered the most versatile, comfortable and ideal for those with growing bumps. ...

My Ruffle One-Piece Swimsuit I Wore in Palm Springs

I was so excited to get a glimpse of warmer weather on our babymoon but had a little trouble when it came to swimsuits. I've mentioned before that I'm not really a fan of "maternity fashion" and that was certainly true when it came time to shop for swimsuits. I made it my goal to find a few options that were bump-friendly without being too cheeky or revealing (that post is coming soon) and really lucked out with a few. After all, this is your time to proudly show off your bump and not worry about sucking in at the pool. Win-win. ...

The White Lace Tunic You Can Wear Now and Later This Summer

Each spring I always find a lace tunic that I wear non-stop. You know, the blouse you can throw on for an easy weekend outfit or that's comfy enough to wear to the airport. This tunic from Free People has been that for me. I honestly think it might be a dress (?), but for me being pregnant and almost 5'7, that wasn't an option. ...
