I just got back from a weekend in Dallas for the Reward Style Conference and it was a total blast and loved seeing all my friends, but I have to say it feels good to be back and out of the humidity! If I stood for more than ten minutes I could feel my whole body swelling up like a balloon! Haha but it was good food and good company so all worth it :) plus our hotel had milk and cookies every night - why doesn't every hotel do that?!
So I wore this dress to the Kate Spade party (luckily it was cooler that night so I got away with wearing long sleeves!) and I love the bohemian feel of this dress! It isn't maternity but with a belt it can be made maternity in no time. I also am soo in love with these sunglasses! I got them during the sale and to be honest when they came in the mail I was thinking they looked a little thick (if you see them in person you know what I am talking about) and different from online and then I tried them on and was absolutely obsessed! They are my new favorite sunglasses! I actually love how thick they are now and love the band across the top.
Anyways, I hope you all had a great weekend! xoxo
PS my tutorial for this hair style can be watched, here! It is a really old tutorial and my voice is painfully annoying to listen to in it haha but at least you can get the picture right? :) I actually had to watch my own tutorial to remember exactly how I did this style!
Hi (:
I totally agree with you, these sunglasses are amazing! Very stylish

This print of this dress reminds me of the infamous JLo versace dress. I think it looks absolutely fabulous on you. Preggars or not!
I will have to look up that dress now! And thanks so much!!
I love that pattern, gorgeous! I’m definitely going to have to revisit your blog when I’m pregnant. I’m so impressed with your maternity fashion.
Aw thanks Erin!! xoxo
The humidity IS so gross there. I used to live in Austin, but now I live in Denver. A billion times better!!! Do you mind if I ask how tall you are? I’m in love with this dress, but I’m super short, so I’m a little concerned about having to get an ungodly amount taken off the bottom. (You don’t have to answer if you are uncomfortable answering that!)

Yes I can’t stand the humidity!! No point in even curling my hair haha. And I don’t mind at all, I am 5’10 and it is a few inches off the ground for me so I am guessing if you were 5’7 it would hit the ground exactly! 🙂
Ha I’m 5’1…..soooooooo yeah it’s going to be dragging!!!!! And yeah curled is not happening there!! I have yet to curl my hair and I’ve lived in Denver for almost a year! I guess I’m still afraid all that work will go to waste. But now I have a ton of awesome tutorials to watch and try, don’t I? 😉 :*
Beautiful as always. Thank you for your reply. Congratulations on having a boy! Lots of love xoxo

Spectacular maternity style. The bag in a cooler hue than the dress gives it just the extra notch to make it even more interesting.

LOVE the toe polish!! what color/brand is that? (:
I was also wondering what color Polish is on your toes? Love the outfit!
Honestly I don’t even know!! It was just a random color from the nail salon, I always forget to check the color!! Sorry about that!
