Graphic Band Tee


Loving graphic tees lately, they're so easy to throw on and make any outfit look "edgy" although of I'm being completely honest, I'm such a poser considering I've never actually listened to any band. 🙈 But they're still super cute and I wanted to share this one that is currently 60% off making it only $9!!! Rounding up a couple other favorites on sale at the moment.

Olive Moto Jacket and transitioning into Maternity Jeans

 Jacket: Vici Dolls | Jeans: here

It's safe to say my latest obsession is jackets. With sooo many sales going on, it makes you wanna snag every item that's 50% off. This faux suede jacket is super soft and lightweight, making it ideal for our "winter" weather in SoCal. I paired it with these skinnies, that just so happen to be maternity, can't even tell right? My whole pregnancy with Sebastian I refused, I used to think "pregnant lady clothes" were for older ladies and just not cute, so I practically only wore dresses and would go 1 size up or stick to my normal size if they were stretchy. It was easy because I was pregnant over summer and no one wants to wear jeans during that time of year anyways. This pregnancy, I noticed myself not fitting into my jeans way earlier, I'm talking 16 weeks early. I was at work one day and when I went to the bathroom to pull my pants down I saw the concealed hook hanging and the fabric had ripped. That night I went online and ordered maternity jeans, pants, shirts and leggings. To my surprise everything I found was super cute and on trend. I literally want to wear these jeans even after the baby comes, I just love the cut and color they're exactly what I've been looking for before I even got pregnant. What I also really liked is that they only have the side panel technically making them wearable post baby until I can fit into my old jeans again.

Button up flowy dress & a Leather Jacket



| Dress: Zara | Booties: Vince Camuto  | Jacket: BCBG

Happy Saturday!! The sun is out and it seems as if everyone is back to functioning normally again, myself included. I wanted to share this dress I got at the Zara sale, can you guys believe it was only $19! I sized up to make it work with the growing bump but I kinda feel like it wasn't necessary, the fit alone is very lose. A lot of their sizes are sold out online but I would definitely recommend heading to the store if you don't mind searching through the racks. About my leather jacket, I just got it for Christmas! I wanted it since I was working at Bloomingdales, but since I was there during spring/summer seasons, I really had no need for it at that time. I had somehow forgotten all about this one until I started looking online last month, some are just outrageously priced! I seriously wouldn't spend over $500 on a jacket, designer shoes or a bag yesss all the way, but I don't feel that a clothing item is justifiable when you can get a similar quality piece for a couple hundred less. Not to mention when you buy it full price and see it on sale a couple months later. Anyways, this jacket is a really good investment piece, the price isn't too bad and it's even 30% off right now! I also linked some more affordable options I'm currently loving. Hope you have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by.

Winter Neutrals

Coat: Zara | Bag: Neverfull MM | Shoes: Louboutin | Turtleneck: Express | Jeans: Charlotte

It's been constantly raining for the past week already, and I couldn't be more over it. You know the drill, new year, new plans to be more productive and get sh*t done. Although I haven't been able to shoot any outfits, I've utilized my time at home to start decluttering. I started watching "Tidying Up" on Netflix and that's finally what it took to get me motivated to go through literally everything. I'm the biggest hoarder, I still owned clothes from over 10 years ago, that I'm most likely never going to wear again. And don't even get me started with Sebastian's clothes, from the time he was born, whenever he'd run out of space in his closet I'd just go through it, put everything in a bag, and have Irven store it in the attic. Baby clothes are so much more special though, and with the second baby coming, I'm kinda glad I still have all his things. I realized I don't need to hold on to every single one of his onesies and have started purging his stuff as well. I also got rid of my tv stand that was used to store even more of my clothes, and now I get to order a new one and keep it strictly for decor. Fast forward to almost a week now, I'm still not done, but our place is already looking so much better and organized. I now know where everything is and it feels sooo good not having to spend 10 minutes looking for one thing. 

While going through my clothes I realized out of most of the things I own, coats are probably the one article of clothing I didn't have to get rid of. If you invest in a good classic piece, it's never going to go out of style and you'll be able to get so much wear out of it. I really loved this structured masculine coat. I paired it with my new shoes and bag that have been at the top of my wish list for years now. I first wanted the leopard So Kates back about 3 years ago, but wasn't sure if they were worth the investment. This year that leopard made a comeback, I was like I have to get them! It's the perfect neutral. After they arrived, I was debating whether or not I should keep them or resell them since they're pretty much sold out everywhere. I couldn't help but feel buyers remorse but decided they looked way prettier in my closet and can't wait to style them endlessly.

Ruffled Dress

Surprise!!!



What better way to welcome the New Year than by sharing the very exciting news that we're expecting baby #2 this Spring in late May!!!! We couldn't be more thrilled about the new addition to our family. I really wanted to take some time off right after I found out, hence why I wasn't really posting on here and Instagram. I was lucky enough to leave a job and have a one month break in between.  This pregnancy has been nothing like when I was pregnant with Sebastian, I had it so easy with him! I've been having the worst migraines, nausea, and insomnia. Nevertheless, I couldn't be feeling any more grateful and happy to be able to experience this again. Being a mother is such a blessing and while the thought of 2 scares me, I also can't wait to have both of my babies here! Sebastian is definitely sensing the changes, he feels my growing belly and when I tell him "baby" he leans in and kisses it, he's seriously the sweetest little boy!! I'm so thrilled to share more of my journey this time around and would also like to include more of motherhood on the blog.
