Maternity Fall Lookbook [Pink Blush + Giveaway]

Hello friends!

Today I have teamed up with Pink Blush to feature a few items that are perfect for pregnancy and well as the transition after that sweet baby gets here. The two items that I choose are both loose, flowy pieces that can be layered for the cooler months.

I love shopping on Pink Blush because they offer maternity and non maternity items. I own quite a few things from this brand and I have never been disappointed with the quality.  They have a very large selection and are always offering a coupon code or discount.

The first item I choose was the Grey Crochet Detail Bohemian Maternity Dress. I fell in love with the dress as soon as I saw it on the website!

It’s perfect for a casual day out shopping or lunch. I paired mine with cowboy boots that I have been obsessing over lately.

I feel like this dress will be a great transition piece from pregnancy to mom life!

For my second item I choose the Mocha Open Crochet Accent Linen Maternity Tunic. I absolutely love tunics. They are so versatile and comfortable.

I paired this tunic with leggings, boots and my favorite floppy hat. This is my go to look for comfort and I am sure this will be a staple “mom uniform” after Lily gets here.

 

Now for the exciting part!

Pink Blush has been kind enough to offer one of my followers a $75 gift card! All you have to do head over to my Instagram to complete your entry. Click here to be taken to the picture with all the details.

Lily’s First Baby Shower

Happy Sunday!

Anyone else excited that it’s finally fall?! It is actually starting to cool down here!

Today I wanted to share some of the pictures and my outfit from our first baby shower. It was absolutely beautiful thanks to my besties Whitley, Ambria and Ashleigh.

All of the details were gorgeous!

Pink and gold were the perfect choice for the colors. This sign was my favorite. It is hanging in Lily’s nursery now.

How gorgeous is this cake?!

I decided to wear this dress from Pink Blush for the shower. It paired perfectly with all of the décor. I also wore a flower crown which was a first for me! I did love the way it looked.

Maternity Style featuring Kimi + Kai

Happy Sunday sweet friends!

Can you believe we are already half way through September?! As much as I want to get our my blanket scarves and boots, it still in the high 80s or 90s here in Georgia.

Today I wanted to feature this gorgeous dress from Kimi and Kai Maternity. It is the perfect fit and color for this time of year and I can’t get over how much I love it. I decided to dress it up for a date night, but you’ll see later in the post that it was easily dressed down for a more casual event.

I am wearing a medium and it fits perfectly. My pre-pregnancy size was an 8 and I am currently 30 weeks pregnant. The material is very soft and stretchy. For reference on the length, I am 5’3″ and it hits me right below my knee.

Dress: Kimi + Kai “Demi” Ruched Dress // Wedges: Target // Necklace: Rugged Warehouse // Bracelets: Rue 21 //

I also wore this dress to a friend’s wedding shower. I layered it with a kimono and paired the outfit with gold sandals.

This week the Xhilaration brand is BOGO 50% off and Merona is 20% off if you use your cartwheel app.

The first item I picked up as part of my BOGO 50% off deal was this dress! I absolutely love the colors! It is perfect for the summer to fall transition.

I bought a size large and it fits over my baby bump but I can pair it with boots and leggings if it gets too short.

Kat Von D Lock It VOXBOX Review

Hello Friends!

Today I’m sharing my favorite way to get free products! Influenster! If you haven’t signed up, I highly recommend you do so if you like to get free stuff.

Influenster is a site that allows you to review products and that qualifies you for a VOXBOX every few months. It learns what you like and what you are interested in by the products you review! The service is completely free, all you are required to do is complete a short list of tasks for each box you receive.

This month I received the Kat Von D Lock It VOXBOX. Included were two shades of the Lock-It concealer creme, the Lock-It edge concealer brush, the Lock-It Setting Powder and the Lock-It Setting Powder Brush.

I received two concealer shades. One in L1 Neutral and one is L3 Warm. The L1 shade is very light, I think it maybe the lightest shade. I can’t use it at all right now because of how light it is on me.  L3 is also very light but it works as an under eye brightener on my skin tone. I will get more use when I lose some of my summer color in the fall/winter.

The application is very smooth and the product doesn’t crease and lasts all day when paired with the setting powder. The product is very creamy so be careful if you have fine lines and wrinkles. I would recommend setting it with a powder so it doesn’t settle.

The setting powder is my favorite product! It gives a flawless finish on the skin. It looks so natural and never gets cakey. I will purchase this when I run out!

Both of the brushes were very soft. The powder brush is amazing for applying powder and contouring. The concealer brush is best if you use it to blend out product in places that are hard to reach with a bigger brush or your finger like under the eyes and around the nose.

I am wearing the L3 concealer and the powder paired with my Maybelline Fit me foundation.

If you want to sign up for Influenster click here. It is absolutely free!

I just got an email that I am already getting another box!!

XOXO

Lily’s Nursery Update

Hello sweet friends! 

Today I wanted to share with you a quick update on Lily’s nursery! I know a few people have enjoyed seeing the progress so I’m gonna share a recap for everything that’s done so far!

If you know me, I don’t pay full price for anything. Everything in the room was thrifted, DIYed, on major sale or given to us!  

Our theme has changed a little because we found this amazing rug at Target (on super sale + a gift card) and it inspired the whole room! We were going with just a color scheme but now I’ve decided to lean towards a tribal/boho feel.

The changing table area has actually changed quite a bit. Originally I had a different changing table all together. My husband’s boss was getting rid of this furniture and asked if we wanted it. Uhh yeah! 

We are still looking for a cover for the pad but I’m thinking a light pink one will work. The pictures above the table were all DIYed by yours truly. I just used my Cricut Explore and some scrapbook paper! I purchased the frames from Ikea for less than $15. 

This pillow was also a quick DIY with an extra case I had and some iron on vinyl that was left over from another project. 

The pillows will not stay in her crib but they look cute for now! The will probably end up on the floor if we’re being honest. 

This chandelier is probably my favorite thing in the entire room! Ryan found it for her and it is so gorgeous! 

I am tackling this big wall as we speak! I have decided to do a canopy over the bed and  I bought all the supplies yesterday for around $20. I am also changing her bedding, I’m not loving the white crib skirt, I think cream would look better. 

There are into a few things we are missing in here. When the room is finished, I will give y’all a video tour! 

I hope you enjoyed this quick update! I am so excited that it is coming together!

DIY Animal Mason Jars [Lily’s Nursery]

Hello friends!

I have another quick, DIY for you today! I saw these adorable animal topped mason jars on Pinterest and I knew I had to make my own!

I haven’t decided exactly what I am going to do with these or where I am going to put them, but I’m sure I will think of something!

For this DIY, you will need:

Mason jars, I used two different sizes

Animals, I found these adorable elephants from Goodwill

Paint Brush

Modge Podge

Glitter

Paint

Tape

Hot Glue Gun

I started off by painting the jars to my liking. I taped off the bottom portion of both. I used the mint green on one and put glitter on the other.

To make the glitter stay and not flake off, you will want to layer 2-3 coats of modge podge and glitter. Make sure you allow it to dry in between coats and that your final layer is modge podge.

Next, I hot glued my elephants to the lids of the mason jars and painted them with my desired colors!

Once everything is dry, screw the lids on the jars and you are done! So simple but so cute!

I can’t wait to show you everything else I have planned! Her nursery is slowly coming together and I am so excited to do a full nursery tour!

Thank you so much for all of your love and support!

DIY Fabric Banner [Lily’s Nursery]

 

Hello Friends!

I am super excited about this post and some futures posts because they are all DIY decor for my baby girl’s room!

This post is going to show you how I made this adorable fabric banner! It is so simple but makes a great addition to any room! I am thinking of making another one to go above our bed!

For a medium sized banner like mine, you will need:

4-5 half yards of fabric

scissors

ribbon/lace

 3 yards jute cord/ twine

All of my supplies were purchased at Hobby Lobby and Walmart.

First, you want to fold your fabric in half. I folded mine horizontally so I had long strips of fabric.

Make small cuts every 1/2 inch or so on your fabric and rip down to the bottom. This does not make perfect strips and there will be strings. If you want a more clean look, cut all the way down for each strip.

To add your fabric to the twine, the first thing you want to do is fold one strip in half creating a loop in the middle.

Lay the jute/twine over the loop and then pull the two ends of fabric through the loop. Pull until the knot around the twin is tight.

Knotting your fabric this way ensures that the front of the fabric is what you see when your banner is hanging.

 

After about an hour worth of work here it is! I am so in love with how it looks and its a perfect addition to Lily’s room!

Her changing table is still a work in progress. I m hoping to find some more baskets and the perfect pad cover.

Thank you so much for reading! I hope you enjoyed!

XOXO
