Posting only once a week is really working out for me since my life is pretty uninteresting and I only put make-up on/ get out of lounge wear about once a week. For example: Yesterday I put on red lipstick and went to a hair appointment. (It’s always awful staring at yourself with wet hair […]
Clothes
Still in Elastic-Waist Pants
Heck yes I am. Just because I don’t have an eight lb baby in my stomach anymore does not mean I’m jumping back into pants with actual buttons and zippers. This has become one of those outfits that I feel “me” in. I tried to wear heels last night and remembered why that is NEVER […]

The Day Two Sisters Went Shopping
Hey everyone! This week’s post comes to you from Kendra, whom I’ve known for many years. Read more about her below! ******** Last week, my sister and I took a shopping trip together. It’s an annual thing in our sisterhood and we take it pretty seriously–good food, bargain hunting, and above average quoting from The […]
Keeping it cas(ual) on my due date…
Sunday was August 2. Kind of a nothing day for most people, but for us it is THE DAY. The day the doctor told me in November would be the due date. It feels like a million years ago. “August second” had become like some fictional character in my life, that I dreamed of, but […]
Vintage Sunday
This has been such a weird day. I started this day at 3:45am, wide awake. Darn you, pregnancy hormones!! At 5:15am I was marking and cutting holes in the knees of my jeans. By 10:45am, my phone only had 20% power left. (That’s when you know you woke up early.) At six am, Dan was […]
When in Rome…(or Dumbo)
There is a street one block from our building that, at any given time of day, has people standing in it to get a picture. I’ve gotten used to it (hopefully not too used to it, if you know what I mean), but at first it was super weird to me to see brides and […]
Baby Got Black
I think I figured out why New Yorkers wear black all the time- because they can’t compete with the amazing graffiti! Don’t want to clash with Mr. Owl Warrior! This dress is one of my “stretchy-but-not-maternity” clothes that I have collected since being pregnant. I wear it way too much. (I’m literally […]
Serious and Southwestern
I don’t know why, but it feels like there are so many tragedies happening. Everytime I get on facebook, I learn of something devastating. I can’t stand it. I’ve cried so much this past week over two different tragedies that have happened to people I barely know or don’t know, but still. They are people. […]
Culottes and Suburbs
Some things get a bad reputation, and, yet, are awesome in some ways. Take the awkard culotte, for instance. Please tell me that I am not the only one who had to wear these to church functions for modesty’s sake. Are they a skirt? Are they shorts? Are they pants? They are all these things […]
mother’s day in dumbo
Happy Monday! I had a successful time dressing in non-maternity clothes! That always feels like a “win”. It’s so sweet to have people tell me “Happy Mother’s Day!” Someone in my sewing class even gave me a rose doughnut that blew my mind. (A little obsessed with good doughnuts lately.) My friend gave me these […]
