So it’s been a while, again. I know! I struggle with consistency when it comes to this blog. I’m constantly debating whether or not I should just close it up and never blog again. Comparison will do this. I can come up with a million reasons why mine is total crap compared to so many that I follow, including friends. I don’t have a good camera {I generally use my phone}, I don’t have any editing software or a fancy laptop, it’s just me sharing humble photos and thoughts. It’s the online journal I’ve never been good at keeping up with. But ya know what? I enjoy it when I do post. I love style, styling and helping others in any way that I can. That said, I’m not going to make promises I can’t keep and say I’ll be posting “x” amount of times a week, but I will say that I’m going to stick around for now. Even if it’s just for me and Emma to go back and look at down the road. If you do follow me when I post, thank you! I hope you’ve found some inspiration. Now here’s the latest. 🙂

I am 24 weeks pregnant…and feeling it! This baby boy never stops moving. Yep, we are having a BOY! Eek!!

Saturday I went out for lots of girly fun with one of my favorite babes. We started the day with coffee, doughnuts and badly needed pedicures; then met up again later for a delicious dinner at Josephine in 12 South, followed by Cinderella at the ballet. There isn’t much that beats a good girls night! It gets a little trickier to dress exactly how you want with a rapidly growing baby bump and swelling feet, especially in the Nashville heat. September is still a hot month here. I wanted to feel light and flowy for the ballet and this Who What Wear for Target dress allowed me that breathing room. At the end of the day I chose a short heel for comfort, but with a touch of leopard to keep the sass. My fashionista friend, Muna {aka @moonsies}, never disappoints and she rocked a red For Love & Lemons dress with some gorgeous YSL shoes.

I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend! X

Each year I get so excited for Spring! I take this amazing vintage coat out of storage and it just hangs in my closet, begging for a day that is actually cool enough to wear it. Nashville warms up quickly, so I feel like we have a fling with Spring each year. That said, we have had a few beautiful, cool days lately in Nash and I’m taking advantage of being outdoors as much as possible.

Last week we had a great time walking in 12 South {my favorite strip in Nash}. This cotton candy print coat finally got some sunshine, and Emma loved all of the color and texture at the flower market!

Since my coat is such a statement on its own, I kept the rest of my look pretty simple. I would normally slip on some nude pumps with this look, but with baby Em and the stroller, I opted for flats. Comfort has become key when we are out and about and Jack Rogers sandals are always chic and comfortable. The platinum color is my favorite since they match everything.

I hope everyone is having a beautiful Spring filled with walks in the sunshine, fragrant flowers and fun coats! X

Super in love with my second wall hanging from The Perfect Little Store, and the name {Fluffy Baby} couldn’t be more perfect since it’s hanging in Emma’s room! There were two framed prints in this spot when the wall hanging arrived. I was so excited to see how it looked in the space that I just took the prints down, hung up an extra bow hook on the top nail, and wallah!

If you read my last home post about another wall hanging from The Perfect Little Store, you’ll see there’s a trend starting. I get really excited to try the wall hanging in a space, and end up replacing prints. These light, fluffy, cheerful creations are handmade by Abbey {owner of TPLS} and they brighten up any space! Soon, there may be one in every room of my house!

Yesterday Emma turned 10 months old, and looking at these images from 5 months brings a flood of emotions. Her personality is evolving and she is almost a toddler…cue the tears!

Em is one cheeky little ham. She loves to eat, giggle, give open mouth grins & kisses, wave like Vanna White and pull herself up on anything she can reach. She is officially on the move and wants to be part of everything. She is bursting with joy and its contagious! I thank God for her everyday.
