By this point in the summer you’re probably being inundated with fall looks, but I’m keeping it real and dressing for the current season. I grabbed this colorful romper while shopping the other day and wanted to wear it in a summer-y way so I paired it with this straw bag and these slides.

Summer isn’t really winding down around here… our hottest months are usually September and October. Even though we still have awhile before we’ll be breaking out the boots and jackets, I wanted to end the week by sharing some of my favorite summer finds. These are by no means limited to warm weather, just the little things I’ve been loving this season.

Now that we’re in the second week of August I’m starting to experience the same sadness I did as a kid when the summer was wrapping up and it was time to go back to school. Only instead of school, I’m getting ready to go back to work after almost 7 months off!

This summer is flying by! I think time drastically speeds up when you have a baby – I find myself looking at pictures of things that happened months ago and feel like they were just yesterday. And now that we’re in August summer days are really numbered. Although in Southern California it will still be warm til Thanksgiving.

It’s been so long since I posted a bump-date, I thought I was due for one. I’m 27 weeks along now which I believe translates to 7 months. It’s crazy to think I’ve been pregnant for over half the year and even crazier that she’ll be here in less than 3 months!

I can’t believe it’s Christmas week and I can’t believe I’m six and a half months pregnant. Soon it will be 2017 and a little after that I’ll have a baby! Every year flies by faster than the last but I’m trying to slow down a little and enjoy the holiday season. Sometimes it’s fun to get a little dressed up and go check out holiday decorations. My favorite new little area near our house, Lido Marina Village, is so cute right now. They have Christmas trees and lights and wreaths all over. I want to set up camp there and never leave.
