What day is it? Is anyone else in a post-Christmas fog? The days between Christmas and New Years always seem to blend into a weird haze and I never really know what to do with myself. This year I’m being lazy and productive… the best of both worlds. Jeff’s been cleaning out the garage and once he finishes that we’ll be tackling the guest room. But let’s move on to what I’m wearing.

I wore this gorgeous Cleobella maxi dress to an event at their store a couple weeks ago. Jeff and Crosby tagged along and we were able to shoot it at their pretty space. The dress is not maternity, but I went up a size and it fit perfectly with my bump. I was 22 weeks pregnant here (I’m 24 now) and seem to be getting bigger by the day. The holiday indulging I’m sure doesn’t hurt that… ha.

There are some really great post-holiday sales happening now and I wanted to share my favorite items that I own all on sale. This dress is 45% off making it just over $50. Perfect for NYE. I have this top in a few different colors and it continues to be a fav in my closet. Currently on sale for $34. This fun striped sleeve sweater is on major sale with code GOBIG. This square neck sweater is marked down to $30, it’s such a great basic. I love this coat, it’s so pretty and a fun statement and currently 50% off.  My favorite metallic silver moto jacket is 55% off, making it just over $150. Another fun piece for NYE. This pretty duster is currently under $40. And lastly, these booties are currently under $70.

Thank you so much for reading – hope you’re having a relaxing week!

My go-to outfit lately has been a sweater and jeans. It keeps me warm and it’s comfortable enough to work with my bump at the stage I’m in right now. I’ve been loving Madewell’s sweater selection this winter. This one is especially fun with the striped balloon sleeves. It has a slight boxy fit and I went one size up to make it work with my bump.

Speaking of Madewell sweaters, here are some more that are catching my eye right now. I love the colors and thick stripes on this one. And the description says it’s made of the coziest yarn – what more can you ask for? I’m not normally a lavender girl but I think this one looks so soft and pretty… and also comes in ivory. Another cute striped sweater in a similar color palette to the one I’m wearing. Lastly, you can never go wrong with classic cable knit. Love this ivory option that comes in two other colors as well.

I cannot believe this is the last weekend before Christmas. I took Crosby to the Newport Beach boat parade the other night and we’re going to go again with Jeff this weekend. We went last year but she was too young to care. This year it was so cute watching her, she loved the lit up boats and saying bye bye to them as they passed.

The last few months I’ve been really into teddy jackets… but I haven’t really worn them, until now. I’ve tracked down 5 that I think are the best of the season, plus 3 more for babies/toddlers. Breaking them all down below.

Outfit details 

on me: jacket c/o, top c/o, sunglasses, jeans, bag c/o, shoes c/o

on Crosby: jacket, top, jeans, shoes c/o

1. Let’s start with the jacket I’m wearing in the photos. Mine is from Sanctuary Clothing and it’s so cozy. It hits me right at the waist so it’s not a super long jacket. It’s kind of hard to tell in these photos but it has a light champagne hint to it. I think it’s a great winter staple and would be just as cute over a dress for something fancier.
2. This one is possibly my favorite teddy jacket of the season and it’s only $40. My friend Ashley has been wearing it for a few months and I finally asked her where she got it. OF course I had to order one right away and have been wearing it non-stop since I got it. The fit is slightly oversized (I got a small) but perfect.
3. Another favorite of mine has been this blush one. I’ve worn it several times since I got it a few months ago. It’s another one that can be dressed up with a few easy tweaks and I love the soft blush color.
4. This jacket looks so chic and comes in three different colors, my favorite is the tan. Great price point!
5. This cropped leopard jacket is so fun! Would be really cute over a black or brown dress.

And for the toddlers/babies…

1. I found Crosby’s coat (from the photos) while I was doing some online shopping on Cyber Monday. It’s so cute to see a toddler in a coat, I feel like she looks so much more grown up! Her’s is so fuzzy and comfortable. Again it can work with a casual or fancy outfit and the price is great.
2. I found this really cute leopard print fuzzy jacket for toddlers and think it might need to make it’s way to Crosby’s closet soon. It has a hood with cute little ears on it. This one for babies is super similar and just as cute.
3. I saw this coat on a friends baby and it was the cutest thing. The color is perfect for the rest of the winter.

Last week I posted a photo of Crosby and I in mommy and me matching pj’s on instagram and this week we’re back with more. Our cute pajamas are from PJ  Salvage and you know I love the mommy and me matching prints. I sized up to a 2T on Crosby’s jammies and even got a cute little one piece matching romper for baby boy. They’re a little big on her this year but hopefully they’ll both fit into them next year and we can match again.

When Crosby and I got ready for photos, Mackie jumped in too! I didn’t even have to bribe her. Last year we did matching family pajamas for our Christmas cards (see them here) and I squeezed Mackie into a toddler size 12 month top so she’d match us too. This year a few different brands have come out with family matching jammies that have a pair for dogs too. Look at how cute the dog is matching with it’s family in these… but where were they last year?! Another cute set for everyone + the dog. And this set in the cute red and black plaid.

Can I keep fairy lights up all year long? Crosby loves them and I think they just make everything more fun! I ordered these on Amazon and have been moving them all around the house/with me when I take photos. Currently I have them strung around our Christmas tree. I got the idea from Anthropologie… they always have the prettiest decorated trees. It’s so simple and adds a little more sparkle.

Happy Monday! After today there are only 4 more Monday’s in 2018. How insane is that?! A couple weeks ago I noticed the trees in our neighborhood dropping leaves like crazy. And obviously this is something to get excited about since we live in Orange County and aren’t that used to seeing. Crosby and I put on our coziest sweaters and headed out to play in the leaves. My pink cowl neck sweater from BB Dakota is under $100 and also comes in black. It’s so soft and kind of feels like wearing a bathrobe… not mad at that.

Crosby recently went through a growth spurt, a lot of her pants were too short. I got her a few pairs of leggings from Cotton On Kids. Toddler clothing sizing is all over the place, a lot of times the waist is too big, or they’re too short. But she fits perfectly into their size 1 right now. I also got her fuzzy sweatshirt there. And this is the outfit she wore on Thanksgiving. 🙂

Crosby’s not the only one going through a growth spurt… I think my bump has doubled in size the past couple of weeks. I always heard you show faster with your second – I think my bump is as big as it was when I was 7 or 8 months pregnant with Crosby. I’m stocking up all things comfortable to get me through this winter pregnant. Roomy sweaters, joggers, long cardigans, etc. I’m a little scared to see how big I am in April!

Some of my new closet additions… this velvet jumpsuit that I thought would be fun for a holiday party, I went up one size. This soft pullover that’s perfect for everyday. Pretty black blouse for when I want to dress up a bit. The most comfortable leggings that actually aren’t maternity but work perfectly if you’re pregnant and go over the bump. And this sherpa draped jacket that is perfect for the chillier weather we’ve been having.

After the last week I need all the relaxed, comfy sweaters I can get. Love this one from BB Dakota, the fringe detailing on the sleeves is what really won me over. It’s loose enough to hide all the pie I ate and my baby bump! Although from the side there’s really no hiding it.

OK, we have to talk about my slides. I tried them on at Rebecca Minkoff’s store a couple of weeks ago and got SO MANY DM’s about them. Both good and bad. You either love them or hate them, but I LOVE THEM. Who knew fuzzy mules could stir up this much of a controversy. I’m just a little worried about them getting dirty when I wear them outside.

Let’s move on to my jeans. These are not maternity and pretty much carried me through my whole pregnancy with Crosby. They didn’t even stretch out and I was able to wear them again when I lose the baby weight. Crazy, right? I’m convinced they are magic. And they’re a steal. I do have to unbuckle them after a large meal… again, that’s where a roomy sweater comes in handy.

Another pair of jeans I’m loving but aren’t maternity is this pair from Free People. I have them in a couple different washes and they’re still stretchy enough that they’re still comfortable to wear. I didn’t have them when I was pregnant with Crosby, so I can’t tell you if they’ll hold up or stretch out. Fingers crossed!

Speaking of crazy, I’m now over halfway through this pregnancy. I might regret saying this down the road but I’m kind of hoping time slows down a bit. There’s just so much to do!
