Blue Teddy Coat (sold out at press time) similar // Gray Dress // GGB Sneakers // Sunglasses

It’s no secret, I’m loving teddy coats and this one in baby blue is no exception. Although it sold out, I’m hoping they’re re-stock, but no worries, I included similar. I ordered this robe for the hospital, it will get dirty so $35 is right up my alley. The dress I’m wearing is only $56 and worth every penny. These sneakers are worth the splurge but I had to size up. And just may wear them to today’s doctor appointment. You need sneakers when you have 4 little people with you at all times. Can you say momlife? And when in doubt, I pull out an ice roller for puffy eyes and Chloe sunnies!

Happy Friday EVE!

I love a wrap that doubles as a nursing cover! Yes, I’m thinking ahead! This one is flattering and an awesome fit. At press time, it was temporarily sold out. I gave additional options. Check them out and my $40 denim!

 

leopard coat I’m wearing here available in all sizes (yeah!) // dress (I’m wearing a small here)

TEDDY COATS (check out this one under $65!)

PLAID COATS

 

LEOPARD COATS I love how a leopard coat can give an LBD or simple gray dress a chic edge

 

 

Whether you’re a leopard, plaid, or teddy coat type of girl, get them while your size is in stock and available. And if you don’t already know, my shop page is open 24/7. Happy weekend!

 

I’ve been asked to round up my favorite kimonos and what I’ve been wearing on repeat! It’s challenging to dress the bump, so here are some ways I do it simply but with a chic edge. Which are your favorites? As an FYI, follow me on Pinterest, check my shop my Instagrams page and sign up for my newsletter so you don’t miss anything. I still can’t believe we are weeks away from meeting baby boy!

Founded in 2011 by Ariane Goldman, mother of two, Hatch designs clothes that flatter your body, no matter the stage. Pregnant or not. I had the privilege of shooting some of my favorite HATCH maternity clothes in LA with photographer Alexa for the HATCH blog. It was fun picking out pieces I know I’d wear now and later for what they call the 4th trimester.  What I love most about Hatch pieces is not only the fit but that one can tell its a curated collection. The pieces aren’t loud, they’re useful, never too many ruffles bows or ties, but a couple that flatter, and only the highest quality fabrics are used. I’m currently obsessed with their “body-con” collection. Its ALWAYS good to show off that beautiful belly and these dresses do just that:

I’d like to leave you with this — my advice at the end of the interview if you don’t have a chance to read it (which I hope you will!)

SAVOR IT. It’s so easy to grind through your pregnancy complaining, but it goes by so fast and then you forget it all. I love writing things down for the kids to read when they’re older. Also, accept your body’s limitations. You can’t do everything; you’re not an octopus. You have two arms, two legs, and you’re growing a human being. know your limits. I tell myself this daily.

Don’t forget to check my feature on THEIR BLOG!

Thank you Hatch for the feature and clothes that make women feel beautiful!

 

I have some very exciting news today! I’m giving away an Ann Howell Bag! All you have to do to enter is . . .
1. Follow me and @annhowellbullard on IG,
2. Tag a friend on Instagram
3. Comment below on this post which bag you’d like. I worked with Ann back when I was living in Chicago and she had just started her business. I fell in love with her bold graphics. See my first post with her here. Such a fun flashback!
She now sells them at Anthropologie and I’ll admit, it was hard to find a favorite because they’re all so beautiful. Here I styled her circular stripe bag with a black maxi, stripe top knotted as a crop top, pink duster and pink loafers. See 8 of her styles below.
How would you style yours?
Thank you Ann Howell Bullard for sponsoring this post!

I recently had a conversation with a follower on instagram about maternity jeans, nothing fitting right and how to find her maternity style groove. I quickly rounded up some maternity faves that I have found I KEEP going back to to feel chic and confident, even at 33 weeks in my pregnancy.

If you have a favorite, I’d love to hear!

Bella Band!

These jeans rips and skinny jeans 

Maxi skirt (love this one from Legoe Heritage)

Kimono under $70

Tunic (the length is perfect over the bum, and fits large, so a small worked fine for me)

$19 leggings(need I say more?)

Maxi Dress (also like this one )

Ribbed off the shoulder top in black (if you scroll my IG feed, you’ll see this top won over and again. It’s that good!)

Something Leopard!(because why not? It’s Fall’s must have and super cute on the bump)

BP tank (only $12)// One Teaspoon Skirt similar // Adidas trainers (only $67!) // Chloe sunnies // hat similar // bag WHOWHATWEAR // sweater cardigan (from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale)// Gucci belt 

I learned in my 31 weeks into my fifth pregnancy, that in order to achieve that pregnancy chic you long to achieve, you need a couple comfy basics you can easily dress up. And dress up to the tune of a Gucci belt, stripe weekender and chic lil black and white trainers. Oh, and don’t forget the hat. I wear a TON of black and realized its really the most flattering at this point. Let’s face it, I really feel the weight of this extra 20 lbs, and feel all of my weight and width especially when I find myself stuck in between two car doors. Yikes! No wonder my back hurts! I recently tried on a light gray maxi dress and hubby even acknowledged I looked bigger in it. Complaints aside, I’m starting to think about buying more boy clothes, aka nesting, and excited to set up his room! Very exciting things to come. Don’t forget you can shop all my instagrams here on the blog – no app or sign ups required. What’s your go-to comfy basic?

Happy Wednesday!

If you know me well, I gravitate to some of the same favorites: a tee shirt dress and booties being among them. This cardigan and booties are on the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale and I’m hooked! This cardigan will also look great with jeans and comes in ivory and gray. Size down since it runs large. Off to Lake Arrowhead for a long weekend. Hoping to get some rest after a long week!

Happy Saturday!

Tee shirt dress // Booties // Cardigan Sweater // Sunglasses

 

my suit (I also like this one) // necklace // mustard flats

Personally, I’ve been stumped with what swimsuit to buy at 27 weeks! I wore one to a friends pool and it was downright embarrassing. It was a non-maternity one piece that my belly was pulling down and I kept pulling up during insecure conversations and I told myself, I need to find a suit, stat! So I did some research and found some ones worth sharing. Whether you’re a one or two-piece girl, I’ve got you covered. No pun intended! I still have a J-crew one piece from 2013 that still fits so good. I wear it to swim lessons with the kids. Any excuse to get in the water and relieve my back you know?

I also like these high waisted tied bottoms for only $36 and this top
