What I Wore: Maternity Photo Details

I had such a fun time throwing together our maternity photo outfits! I knew I wanted one black and white outfit - because DUH black and white is our life, and then I also knew I wanted an outfit that showed off my ever growing belly but tastefully. 

I'm loving how they turned out and every piece I found was super affordable and can be worn time and time again!

I love Pinterest for all things fashion related. 

Usually, it's me dreaming of having all the pieces already in my closet, but sometimes I already do.

What I Wore - OOTD [4]

Some days it's hard finding cute things to wear when you have to wear business casual to work everyday. 

All your nice clothes tend to be work clothes, and then you aren't ever wanting to wear those clothes outside of work. 

Luckily, I found this beauty in the back of my closet. 

Blouse // Kohls

Bandeau // Kohls

Shoes // Gianni Bini - Dillards

Bracelets // Stella&Dot Namaste Body Central  

Earrings // Gift 

Some days you just feel pretty!

You know it's one of those days when the selfie comes out. =))

My Dream House: According to Pinterest [3]

Happy Hump Day ya'll!

Here is where I'll be linking up with Michelle to showcase some of my latest to die for Pinterest finds. 

 

Check out part 1 and part 2 of my future dream house. Unfortunately, at this time we have it too good paying only $300 a month for rent, that I can only 'pin' ideas for the future!

• For the space challenged outdoor areas, this vertical herb garden would be the perfect alternative. Think of how easy it would be to get out the kitchen shears and go around to the side of your house to pick some herbs for dinner. Love it!
•  This broken pot turned into a little fairy garden. Things like this confirm [God willing] that I have to have at least one girl! I need to make these things!!
• This kitchen looks like one you are only allowed to look at and walk through. It's too clean and too perfect. My favorite thing about this is the double bench pulled up beside the island.
• I am loving all this METALLIC I'm seeing these days! I just redid the decoration in our master bed room: black furniture, grey walls, and red and metallic decor. I am itching to paint something with this trendy metallic paint.
• Who doesn't love an over sized colored mirror? It would definitely help me with my OOTD posts!

Do we have any of the same tastes? 

Easter Weekend -- OOTD

I love holidays! What's not to love about tons of food and family.
It's crazy how fast each holiday comes and goes though. Before we know it, it will be my birthday (which is a major holiday in our household ;)), our wedding anniversary, and fourth of July (my favorite holiday). 
I'm already counting down the days.

I went shopping on Saturday morning and fell in love with this dress. The colors just scream 'spring' and I'm a little obsessed with the dresses and skirts that are short in the front and longer in the back. I have 3 of them!
 I already know this dress will get a lot of use, especially with wedding season coming up.

Besides shopping and spending time with family this weekend, I really didn't get much else done other than some reading. 
I broke my kindle a month after I got it and by the time I tried to fix it and use the warranty, it was to late. Bummer on my part. I added the kindle app on my phone and it works just as well as having the kindle! I was surprisingly shocked at how much I liked it. I am kind of over the massive amount of books I'm collecting. 

 
 

 I actually finished 2 books this weekend: Rush by Maya Banks and Romeo Romeo by Robin Kaye

Maya Banks is one of my favorite authors of the naughty books I read. Rush was the first in a trilogy, and the second one comes out this month which I'm super excited about.

Do you have any book recommendations? My next series is going to be the Blackstone Affair series. Has anyone read it?

I Will Do Better

Blogging. . . I will get better at it.

 It has been since June when I last blogged. How sad =(. Working 40+ hours a week is no excuse. There are many working women out here in the blog-world who are full time wives, moms, and working women who blog multiple times a week.

3 posts a week is my goal! 

Anyways, this past weekend we went up to KC for the 2nd round of the NCAA basketball tournament to watch a little RockChalk basketball.

A little snow, a little shopping, a little alcohol, and lots of bad food! 

 

Excited on the way up to KC! (We hardly do couple pictures. Another thing I need to do better at.)

 

 

 

  

Sporting our crimson and blue! 

OOTD. 

Royal Skinny jeans- Gordmans. Gold sparkly Toms. Arm candy- namaste bracelet. Honora pearl bracelet. Stella&Dot bracelt. Gold chained bracelet from Gordmans. Gold bauble necklace from Groopdealz.

 

 

What a fun eventful weekend! My daring husband spotted some open seats and made us sneak down passed the guys in the yellow checking tickets. "Act like you know what you are doing and don't make eye contact." The wise words from my husband. =)

 

 We ended up sitting in row 7 behind the opponents bench, as opposed to going up into the rafters where our purchased seats were. CT and I were getting blown up on FB and through text message all game because each possession we were in perfect view for all of TV land to see! 

 

A big shout out and thank you to the Ole Miss coaches wives. We apparently were sitting in their row, and they piled their kids on their laps so we could continue to sit their the remainder of the game. 

 

What do you know, there are still some good people in the world these days.
