Getting my suitcase packed

For some reason I've been slacking on getting my suitcase fully packed for the hospital.  From my last stay at the hospital I definitely made note that I need to buy some indoor/outdoor slippers.  I just ordered these cuties online today, so hopefully they'll be here before baby.  I've never owned a pair of furry slippers or shoes like these before but they're pretty cute, a good price, and since it's almost impossible to get my own socks on... they should work out great.

i also ordered this nursing lounge set.

*it finally arrived.  it's so incredibly soft.  i love it.  going back for more.

I'm 37weeks3days today and even though I'm so uncomfortable and achey all over, it's been so fun getting to experience all of this.  Being pregnant is such an amazing gift and I couldn't be more excited to hold my baby boy for the first time.  I could cry just thinking about it.  My friends and family have been so amazing through all of this.  Always willing to help out.  And my hubby... he had a little difficulty adjusting in the beginning and never knew what to say or do, but he's really pulled through and I couldn't have done this without him (well duh... obviously... lol... you know what I mean).  Yay for babies!!!

P.S.  This is on my Christmas wishlist.  My hubby and I always exchange lists.  Much less stressful.  I'm not even a big The North Face person, but I need a winter boot with good tread and that's still darn cute.  I think these nailed it!

*the grey ones in 6.5 are sold out everywhere.  i knew this was a good one when i saw it! 

i wonder if hubby bought up the last one.  crossing fingers.

Running out of titles...

I like seeing which celebrities are pregnant and due around the same time as me.  Keeps me informed on what kind of clothes or baby things I might want to keep an eye out for.  Ali Larter has the same due date as me!  She's in the new Resident Evil movie.  I love those movies. 

That's just super cool.

Here's a peek at our baby shower invitations.  Everybody seems to be going the technology route and sending shower invites to me via Evite.  Which is totally fine, but I think it's so much sweeter when you get something in the mail.  Plus, believe it or not, I still know people who don't use or check their email. 

Freaking cute baby shoes not included.  Those are for mommy and daddy's enjoyment.

Have you noticed that I love dresses?  Well, if you haven't... I do.  They're easy peasey, plus you can wear them year 'round.  Just add some tights and boots and you're set!  Here's a few I like.

Great for everyday wear.  Super cute with a big hoop earrings, simple cardi and brown boots!

lulu's | first impressions one shoulder dress

Pretty dress for dinner or a party.  Try it with gray or nude colored booties and a big cocktail ring.

lulu's | fruit cocktail one shoulder dress

I love colorful dresses.  You stand out.  Try it with simple nude or black pumps.  No jewelry.

Such a perfect dress for a bridal shower or baby shower.

asos | tfnc leopard print sash bandeau dress

I couldn't fit into this dress now, but it's hot!  Someone should get it.  Animal prints are big for fall.



Fall means boots, oh happy me

I LOVE boots.  I love brown boots.  I've been on this hunt for more great boots for a while now.  Seems like they're always out of my price range, too uncomfortable or the wrong color.  Here's a few from Delia's I think are pretty darn cute.  Great prices, plus FREE SHIPPING!!!  I really love mixing brown shoes & boots with black clothing.  Such a perfect color combo.

Alphabet Soup - Letter of the day is N

I had to think about N for a little while, but isn't N so pretty?! 

N is for nice.  N is for naughty.  N is for NOW!  I hope everyone had a great weekend.  We've been house hunting and let me tell you... it is very time consuming.  Well, I'm pleased to announce we put our first offer down on a house!  Yay!!!  It's really cute, but because it's a short sale, it needs some TLC.  My hubs found another one he loves and wants to put an offer on.  I think we're taking a look at it this weekend.  It's NOT a short sale, so this could be the one!!

P.S.  My little sister and her hubby are coming home tonight from Paris.  I haven't talked to her in weeks!  I'm picking them up at the airport and I'm just super excited.  My sis is one of my best friends and I talk to her just about every single day!  Btw... did I ever mention that my sister is Myra of Twigs & Honey?  If you haven't heard of her, you will.  She has a very successful bridal accessories and adornments shop.  You can see her items EVERYWHERE!  I'm so proud of her!!! 

Here's her links :

Can I please have more ruffles?

Can you tell I have summer on the brain?  I am enjoying all the good deals on spring/summer clothes right now.  Since I'm collecting such a nice array of cardigans, I've been on the lookout for tanks to wear underneath.  Here's one I just love from Delia's.  Two color options, white and black.

ooo Elsie Tank - $34.50

Here's another gorgeous one from Anthropologie.  I think the the belt helps it from looking too boxy.  This would look so cute with skinny black jeans, like my Paige Premium - Laurel Canyon Skinny Jeans in Black.
