Hi Guys!
Hope you all have had a wonderful week! The beginning of the week was a little stressful because Chase had a huge trial and he was working super late.. But it was all worth it because his firm won! I actually went to the trial on Monday morning to observe – which was really cool.
I had my 35-week checkup yesterday and I gained three pounds in two weeks which puts me at exactly one pound over what I was weighing when I was pregnant with Jake. The doc took the swab for the Group B Stress infection which was super fast and not painful and then he checked for heartbeat and blood pressure … the usual. I got the Whooping Cough shot because you’re supposed to get it I believe from 30-36 weeks. So everything is going well – I’m just starting to feel slightly uncomfortable and large! Of course the doctor has no idea when I’ll have this baby.. I am hoping for 38.5- 39 weeks!
Anyways onto the outfit – I am obsessed with this top from Helmut Lang with the open sides, I clearly can’t show the sides since my high-waist maternity jeans and belly aren’t the most flattering at the moment. BUT after I have this baby girl I’ll be wearing this top NON stop. I’m obsessed because it’s sexy yet reserved at the same time .. because it’s a high neck more of a tunic tee. It’s a little on the on the pricey side but I have already worn it about five times and plan on wearing it so much more! I paired it with my black maternity jeans and silver Common Projects along with my over-sized denim jacket.
If you haven’t found a denim jacket I highly recommend this one from Seven Jeans. Yes it’s pricey but you can get it for 25% off this weekend at Splendid in Aventura Mall on Saturday from 12-4! Come and see me at the store from 12-2. I’ll be showing you my favorite spring pieces and style you in what’s flattering for your body type. If you don’t live in Miami you can always call the store during the time I’m there.
Hey Guys!
Hope you all had a fabulous weekend! We went to Blue Ribbon Sushi in South Beach which was super yummy on Friday night, the only problem was that all of the sushi looked DELIC and I couldn’t eat any of it:( I stuck with the corn on the cobb, fried rice, and fried chicken. I would totally recommend it.. Miami is getting super cool- we’re getting really great restaurants and not to mention the expansion in Aventura Mall! We are getting a Zara and Topshop. I always love Zara because they have such high fashion pieces at a fraction of the cost.
Onto the outfit. I am wearing the most comfy grey tee that actually fits because it’s maternity. It’s called the short sleeve Drape top by Ingrid & Isabel and has the comfiest fabric. I’m wearing a size xs so it runs pretty large. I’m having such a hard time these days finding stuff to wear since I really haven’t bought any maternity tops. What I have in my closet that used to be oversize are tiny now! What i’m wearing a lot of these days are the Splendid tanks with maternity jeans and of course athleisure wear. PS- i’m doing an event at Splendid in Aventura Mall this Saturday from 12-2, come and be styled by me!
I wanted to dress up the tee so I added Aquazzura biege heels that are so comfy along with my Iro jacket and red Chanel bag. You can shop the similar look below and please let me know if there is something in particular you would like me to blog about in the next couple of weeks.
Hope you are all having a great week. Yay for Friday- it’s kind off been the longest week ever! We have a baby naming on Saturday morning and keeping it pretty much low key for the rest of the weekend. Chase has a trial on Monday so I’ll be chilling with Jake most of the weekend! I can’t believe I am 34 weeks preggers! I somehow got bit by a mosquito on Wednesday so now I have to get my 5th Zika test – so over it! I have to wait until next Wednesday to get tested as it takes about one week to get into your system. Anyways onto the outfit:
When Isabella Oliver reached out to me I immediately was drawn to this white button down top because if you’ve been following along my blog you will have noticed that every button down top I’m currently wearing has to be left open since it doesn’t fit closed. So I was super excited to wear this top and the fact that I could actually close the buttons was a PLUS:) The tie back option in the back is good to have because it can give you a more fitted look + makes it more feminine.
I styled the button down with a beautiful crystal choker from Baublebar that is such a great piece to have in your wardrobe. It really goes with almost everything- depending on the vibe you want to go with. The leopard Golden Goose were a must-wear since the outfit is plain, the print gives it a pop! I also linked a similar pair for less.
Happy Friday! So happy it’s the weekend, it’s been quite the week, so excited to be able to hang this weekend and celebrate Purim with Jakey. For those of you who don’t know Purim is one of the most fun Jewish holidays because everyone gets to dress up and drink and celebrate! It’s like another Halloween for the kids.. Jake is going to be a cowboy because for Halloween I bought him a costume and he REFUSED to wear it, so going for simple this time!
On to the outfit – When you’re pregnant and far along the only thing comfortable to wear all day are leggings… These leggings in particular that I’m wearing are the ultimate best because they don’t fit too tight on your waist. They also have so much stretch that you can get your regular size, which means after having the baby you can wear them.
They are high-rise so they feel like they are sucking you in but in reality they aren’t! I am always a size 2 in Lululemon and I am currently wearing the size 2 at 32 weeks pregnant. PS – I can’t believe how close it’s getting – it’s starting to feel more real.. I thankfully feel great and have been able to still walk on a treadmill for exercise (when I get around to it) and to go to Pilates. I think it’s really important to keep on moving if you can, it’s good to just stay active.
This muscle tee is my favorite and so flattering, and it looks good on all body types. I added a denim jacket to the look because I have to keep covered living in Miami with Zika – but I love the way this over-sized denim jacket looks. The leopard sneakers add a fun and flirty element.
Hope you all had a great weekend! We had such a nice time hanging out with my sister, brother-in-law and nieces. Our 9 month-old niece started saying momma for the first time this weekend. It was so sweet to see! Jake had the time of his life and it gave me a glimpse of how cute he will be with a baby sister.. We went to Jerry Seinfeld on Saturday night and I was seriously laughing so hard it hurt! I highly recommend going to see him, it’s a must!
Now onto the outfit – when I saw this bomber jacket at Splendid I fell in LOVE! It’s such a cute statement piece and super versatile + the color variations are my fav: grey and black! This is such a good transition piece to incorporate into your wardrobe into Spring. You can throw it over your shoulders and it matches with everything…
The white denim are AG maternity (don’t be scared to wear white when you’re preggers) they are super flattering!
The lace-up Iro top I bought a long time ago and it’s still one of my favorite tops because it can be dressed-up and down, in this case I dressed it down. It’s super pricey but worth it – I promise!
The sneakers are so so cute and I know they are pricey but I linked a similar pair from Dolce Vita that my sister bought and was wearing them all weekend. They are seriously just as cute as the Golden Goose.
Hope you all have a great week!

There are so many options when it comes to maternity jeans at so many different price points! When buying maternity clothes I believe that denim is the most important piece because with today’s fashion you really don’t need to be buying maternity tops. So my take is spend money on good denim and if you need actual maternity tops opt for H&M type stores at lower price points.
When I was pregnant with Jake I only bought one pair of maternity jeans, but since I have to deal with Zika in Miami- I live in long pants! Of course Yoga pants are my everydays- but when I want to get dressed up I wear maternity jeans.
When purchasing the right pair there are two different fits-
1) Denim with high waist belly band- highly reccomend this because it will fit throughout entire pregnancy.
2) Denim that has the stretch on the sides (elastic belly panels)
I personally love them both for different styling reasons. The long belly band jeans are good for when you don’t want to tuck in a top and I feel like it makes your belly look tighter. They are also a lot more comfortable and you don’t feel like they are cutting your stomach.
The low rise jeans are great for showing off that belly and half tucking tops in. In this picture I am wearing the AG Jeans with the belly band and I get complemented each time I wear them! In all of my maternity jeans I am the same size as I am in regular jeans.. Shop some of my favorite maternity jeans here:
