Another bump look 🙂 These pictures are pretty funny, we took them about 24 hours before I went into labor after a weekend of relaxing and lots of walking. I had no idea I’d have the baby that early and still thought I had at least a week if not more to go.

Happy Thursday! Today I’m sharing another amazing budget friendly dress. This one is also under $20, can you believe it? The quality is great and it’s super soft. I’ve really been loving these finds at the end of my pregnancy and think I’ll be wearing this one after too (it’s not maternity).

I’ve had this dress for way too long without wearing it. I almost wore it to a baby shower but decided at the last-minute to wear something else. But I knew I had to get it photographed while I’m still pregnant. It’s not maternity but another one of those tight, stretchy, affordable (under $20!) pieces you don’t mind buying when you have a bump. And if it gets a little stretched out, no big deal.

How crazy is it that it’s already April?! I always love doing spring cleaning this time of year and really getting organized. We’re still settling into our new house, so I’m doing a lot of purging and organizing right now. My beauty favorites this month are a mixture of new finds as well as some old that I’m enjoying re-discovering as I unpack.

Rodan + Fields Redifine products: Recently I had the opportunity to try the Daily Cleansing Mask and the Triple Defense Treatment. The mask is for morning and night for just two minutes. I’ve been putting it on when I have a little extra time in the morning before I get ready and have already noticed a difference in my skin. I’ve been using the cream before bed and love how gentle but effective it seems so far.

Marrakesh Oil – I’ve always been a little unsure about using Morrocan oil in my hair. I thought it would weigh it down or make it greasy. But the last time I got my hair done I asked my stylist what she put in it to make it so shiny and soft and was so surprised that she’d been using morrocan oil. I’ve been loving this Marrakesh oil I  recently got in a gift bag.

Loree Rodkin Perfume Oil– If I had a signature scent it would be Coco Chanel. I’ve been wearing it since high school and never get sick of it. Sometimes I’ll buy a new scent and want to love it, but nothing really compared to my beloved Coco. Then I tried this and fell in love. I love that it’s a rollerball and apply it in the morning. The scent is light and fresh so it’s perfect for day time.

Mally Face Defender – I’m obsessed with this stuff. I’ve mentioned it before, but last summer a makeup artist at work turned me on to it. You smooth it onto your face with a sponge and it leaves you looking poreless and keeps you shine free all day.

Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray – I never knew I needed a face setting spray before I tried this product. This is the first one I’ve used and it’s amazing. I spray it on my face once I finish my makeup and it seems to lock it in place all day, or night.

I always love trying new products, let me know if they are there any  you can’t live without?! Thanks for reading!

My lace/crochet obsession has officially crossed over to spring and it won’t be stopping anytime soon. This dress is a little different, I love the shape and obviously the color. Is it a surprise that pink is one of my favorite colors?

I wanted to wear this on Easter, but it’s since it’s a little on the short side I saved it for a different day. The length is fine when paired with flats, or even a low heel like I did here. I think it really cute for a bridal shower or brunch. I might pull it back out for one. I found these heels from a few years back while unpacking my closet after our move. I’d forgotten all about them so it’s like having a new pair of shoes. 🙂 They’re obviously sold out but J. Crew came out with a really similar/updated option that might be even cuter.

Hope you have a great last day of March – How is that even possible?! Thanks for reading. XO

I love a festive holiday, and even though I’m not Irish I think St. Patrick’s Day is a fun one to celebrate. When I was in elementary school my mom used to paint a shamrock on my cheek and I always thought that was so cool. This year I’ll be celebrating in a bikini and cannot wait!

Maybe the most fun part about the day is finding something green to wear. I love green and there are so many shades to choose from. Whether you go all out leprechaun or just add a dash, I thought I’d share some of my current favorite green pieces so you don’t get pinched!
