Well here I am!!! Nine months pregnant, anxiously waiting for this babe to arrive. I can't begin to explain to you how crazy the last month of pregnancy is. First of all, it totally drags! You start to panic!!! I NEED THIS BABY OUT NOW! So then you google... castor oil, sex, bouncing balls, walking, squats, running (if you can manage), stripping membranes, begging doc for induction... anything to make you feel less of a Humpty Dumpty, especially when you need to be pulled off the couch and pushed out of bed or a car.What I wore: Jumpsuit: Séraphine similar HERE and cool 70's version HERE // Eye Clutch: SHEin similar HERE and adorable back pack versions HERE and HERE // Pumps: MIU MIU similar and a style steal HERE // Sunnies: Chloé similar style steal options HERE, HERE and HERE // Cuff: Hermés similar style steal version HERE // Earrings: Forever21
Read MoreHappy sunny Wednesday everyone!!! So I wanted to chat about wearing jeans while preggo. I actually only bought one pair of maternity jeans this pregnancy from TARGET. They have some awesome inexpensive options. I also did a little trick and wore my jeans throughout. I'm currently nine months preggo and these baggy boyfriend jeans (which are much tighter then usual now) still fit with the help of a little rubber band trick and a longer tee to cover it all up!
See below....

Even though we're still in February, and Chicago is on a winter storm watch... I can't help but think about spring and the "MUST HAVE ITEM" that will transform your look this season! Welcome back to the BOMBER!
I have quite the connection to the bomber jacket. I grew up in the 90's and used to have a black and an olive one with neon orange lining. I'd go to the Army Surplus store on Belmont and buy these out, paired with Dr Martens and cut-off shorts...I thought I was beyond cool! The look is back and way more familiar and nostalgic to me then you can ever imagine!

Read MoreWell, I'm finally at the home stretch... which means that my body is quickly expanding and my organs are being kicked and punched by little hands and feet that I'm already so in love with.
I will admit, this whole not buying maternity clothing and staying fabulous is getting a bit harder, but I'm not giving up! I'm almost done, and with last trimester being one of the hardest in any pregnancy, I have to say, dressing somehow has made me feel better.
This dress by SheIn is first of all a steal. It's only $19 and is perfect for when you want to look great without breaking the bank. It's super stretchy, and I love the gold weaving detail. Makes me feel so Studio54! By the way, I found these gorgeous dresses with similar fabric. Love this style HERE and HERE, all on sale and all so fabulous!

Read MoreWell hello 2016! It's crazy to think that 2015 just flew right by and I'm excited and anxious to see what this year has in store. This is "my year"! I was born in the year of the Monkey and I hope that this year is filled with health, happiness, hope and love... oh and a healthy little bébé!
This post isn't about New Years however, it's about not losing myself during this pregnancy. Everyone always talks about pregnant women and comfort, well, screw that. I wasn't always comfortable while I'm not incubating a human, why do I have to change now?!

Read MoreOne thing's for certain... this growing belly is getting harder and harder to dress. My previous two pregnancies I was getting larger in the summer and therefore my wardrobe consisted of jersey fabric maxi dresses, bandage skirts and tees. Now I'm preggo in a completely different season, mind you, I live in Chicago and therefore getting bigger as the weather gets colder has proven to be a bit more difficult.
However, I'm up for the challenge and as I've previously stated, I don't believe in wearing majority maternity wear. I mean who wants to spend all that money on six months of your life?! I say six because technically you don't start showing till month three. My goal is to only buy pieces that will transition with my body and that I can still wear post the bump.
So this is where the cape comes in!
