Oh JCrew, you did it again

I'd say 80% of my wardrobe hails from JCrew. It fits my lifestyle and they sucker me in with their glossy catalog and personal shoppers. Oh, and superior quality and design too.

When I was pregnant with Carsyn I literally had about 5 JCrew sundresses that I lived in.

Thank goodness this spring I see a few growing belly friendly pieces also.



I love that they brought back the Amie dress. I had it last summer and its so versatile. I think you could wear this now with a denim jacket and sperrys.



The Villa dress also look like a wardrobe staple for me. The kelly green color is so vibrant!



I think I could live in this cute little tiered number!




I see this raglan dress with a leather jacket and boots for March and simple ballet flats for Spring.



JCrew features this little shell in their catalog with terry shorts and a cardigan-perfect for the beach!

I purchased a few maternity bathing suits with Carsyn and they were awful. They bunched in the water and never fit correctly. My favorite swim suit was my tankini from JCrew. I think its the perfect amount of coverage without making you feel like a cow. My pick this season is the rosette swing top.



So, do you love their Spring stuff as much as I do?

Its Baaack!

Back in the fall when I posted this a few of you commented on the dress I was wearing and the fact it was slenderizing...especially for stripes!
Thanks JCrew (and mom) for bringing it back into my life. I'm sure it won't be that flattering this go round, but I couldn't pass it up.

Its the JCrew Maritime Dress (and if KY blue isn't your thing it comes in black stripe too).

Vacation by jenhts featuring louis vuitton bags

I'm so excited we finally got our first vacation of the year booked. We are staying here:





Have y'all been here before? Where do we dine, where do I shop?
Any tips are greatly appreciated!

Let the countdown begin..



(and yes that's a jumperoo you see in the background-baby girl has officially taken over the house)

A little obsession of mine

For some reason I always get a little giddy when I see a celebrity (or pseudo celebrity as the case may be) wearing an outfit I'm familiar with. I'll usually be on the phone with my mom or sister and blurt "Did you see what Sharon had on today on Y & R? That was totally that Anthropologie caplet!) My mom and sister are quite better at it than I and given the fact that I live in the sticks its excusable that my fashion expertise is often lacking. After watching the Bachelor Monday night I became a little obsessed with the beautiful tweed skirt Michelle was wearing. After much googling I stumbled upon this site. Love this girl!! I will definitely be checking her out more often. How could I have overlooked this JCrew lovely?



I quickly went to their site and found the skirt ON SALE! I added it to my cart and figured I'd purchase it the next morning... Only to be disappointed that it had magically disappeared (I hate when you do this to me JCrew). Luckily, JCrew personal shopper extraordinaire, Cindy, scored it for me and it should arrive shortly. Ah Michelle, your personality was a little sketchy, but your wardrobe was always on point.

Do you have a celebrity or reality tv star who's look you like to mimic?

Fashion!

Confession- I'm not the fashionista I once thought I was. I've loved clothes and getting dressed up from the minute I entered this world. I considered myself to be stylish even throughout college. Now don't get me wrong- I definitely attended a few classes in pjs, but for the most part I still got dressed up to go to class... Pathetic maybe, but it made me happy. Once I entered the working world (working with dad from his home) I realized I could wear whatever I wanted-rarely did I see anyone besides family. Several days I could just wear my running clothes so I could head straight to the lake upon leaving. Then I became pregnant and really tried to look cute and stylish, but honestly I had about 5 sundresses that I rotated every week-I just didn't want to waste money on maternity clothes! Skip to post baby and my look has completely gone to the dogs- I wear makeup most days, but my hair is in a messy pony 85% of the time.. To quote an Atlanta housewife the baby came and I'm looking like a hag with my clothes all busted. Most days are the blogger mommy beloved black yoga pants.. Today I mixed it up and wore charcoal. A tank and hoodie and I'm out the door. See...






On days I stay at home it's about the same unless I just remain in my pjs-(don't judge, you know you love pj days). On weekends I'm actually a lot better, but weekdays are a struggle. I find myself making sure Carsyn looks cute because no one cares what I have on anyway. That said, I would just feel better if I were a little more pulled together.

So here's my question- What's your secret for looking good?

Now, that we've established the fact I'm going to try to get my style back on are you as ready for Spring clothes as I am? I received my Lilly mag in the mail today...swoon.







I also have my eye on this JCrew lovely..I'm just not sure its worth the price tag



Since it's Wedding Wednesday I figured I'd share some of my new favorites. Have you checked out BHLDN?? Omg... Amazing!



If anyone would like to include me in their wedding as a bridesmaid I'd be happy to oblige and wear this.

Pajama Day

So after my rant that I was tired of sitting at the house things got busy and all I wanted to do was sit at the house. Tuesday was Carsyn's appt with the pediatrician..8 lbs 2 oz!!! Wednesday I went to work. Yesterday I declared girls pajama day. Its a good thing because Carsyn was extra fussy and momma found herself cuddling her all day long.. Finally this happened...




and I got to do a little online shopping..

JCrew post pregnancy outfit....golly I hope it fits




I know I'm probably "drinking the koolaid" but QVC really has me wanting an instyler..I finally brokedown and ordered it-I promise to do a post whether I like the results or not ;)



And finally a picture of baby girl all dressed up for her Dr appt..



Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Random Things

Don't you just love coming home to something on your doorstep you totally forgot you ordered?!? My goodies from Ashley Brooke Designs arrived today and everything is so cute! I cannot wait to see the design she comes up with after my little one arrives.



Also, sadly I think I might have purchased my last dress before the dreaded maternity clothes are needed..I am hoping this dress will last me another month or two. Thanks goodness for J Crew!! Lots of their dresses and tops are loose fitting and I have been living in their sundresses on sunny days. Hopefully the rain will go away and I'll have a chance to wear this one. Anyone who knows where I can get cute maternity clothes please let me know!!



I have to give props to Miley Cyrus! (I hope I get this story right). Miley funds a program at a local school called Blessings in a Backpack which provides food for students to take home on weekends. Today she showed up at the school to bag the lunches herself! I'm sure the kids were so happy to see her.



I know I'm probably the only one who watches Real Housewives New York, but the last episodes of the ladies on vacation has got me super envious! The place they stayed was so beautiful I can't believe they couldn't find a way to get along.
