My current obsession...

I just have to rave about a website I recently discovered. I've had a hard time finding cute boy clothes. Yes I know there is plenty of cute clothes for boys, but I went on a hunt because I want a certain style for my baby boy. I came across Next Direct and I went crazy! I instantly fell in love! They have a great selection, and it's so stylish. My little boy will be looking extra cute this spring. This website is based in the U.K. but they do ship worldwide. If you spend over $40 it's FAST FREE shipping! How awesome is this??! I received my order within 3 days! I have no complaints.The prices are reasonable and the quality is great. Check it out and let me know what you think. Here are a couple items that I purchased for my little man. Have a fabulous day!

SHOE SALE!

If you haven't heard by now Bakers is going out of business. I am honestly saddened by this not only did I love working for this company, but I met amazing people. The only really exciting news is that they have HUGE sales! I stopped by last week and was able to find a few items. I went shopping with my boyfriend and 2 month year old, which didn't let me shop around very long. I'm excited to wear what I bought. Stop by your local Bakers and shop before your size is gone! Everything that is not on sale is an additional 40% OFF and everything on sale is 20% OFF. Thanks for stopping by! Toodles.

I'm a MOM!!!

I know I keep saying that I'll post more often, but these last two months have been hectic! I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy on November 16th. He weighed 8 pounds and was 20 3/4 inches long. I was in labor for 22 hours, 20 of those hours I was in crucial pain until I finally gave in and asked for the epidural. I was so against it, but now I'm completely for it. Giving birth should be a beautiful experience and you shouldn't have to go thru the pain. We named him Evan Ray. E represent the first letter of his dads name and Van represents the first three letters of my name. Ray was just a name my boyfriend really liked and made my baby's name perfect. Just leaving a quick update, but I hope I have more time on my hands so I can post on my lovely blog. Meanwhile, I'm enjoying this holiday season with my lovely family. I thank God everyday for such a magical year. Hope you're enjoying your holiday season as well! Have a beautiful day!

P.s. Keep the victims from Sandy Hook Elementary School and their families in your prayers.

Make Room For Baby!

It's crazy how fast these past nine months have gone by! I'd thought I would share a couple pictures from my baby shower last week. I had so much fun, the decor and photography was amazing. Wish me luck my due date is basically here. I'm psyched yet nervous, but I know I'm ready!

ASOS Maternity

To be completely honest I refuse to purchase maternity clothes. I just haven't found anything that's my style. Before I was pregnant I had purchased a couple of tops from ASOS, but had no idea that they had a maternity line. I was browsing through their website to see what new products they were getting in for fall and came across the word maternity! I'm so excited to place an order. I'm in love with everything. I picked out my favorite pieces and thought I'd share. I know for pregnant women it is harder to find fashionable clothes that suits our body. Also we don't want to spend so much on something that we won't wear again. ASOS has great prices and I know for a fact I would wear their pieces after pregnancy. Check it out and let me know what you think. Thanks so much for reading!

MY top 10 pregnancy must haves!!

1. BIO-OILl: MUST HAVE! This product works magic on my skin. Stretch marks were my number one concern when I found out I was pregnant, and this product has saved my life. I was only able to find it at CVS, but you can always purchase it online if you have trouble finding it where you live. I apply it every morning and night. I am 8 months pregnant and stretch mark free! 

 2. TUMS: It doesn't matter what I eat I have guaranteed heartburn everyday! I pop tums like crazy. I carry tums with me everywhere. I seriously don't know what I would do without them. They contain calcium and are yummy which is a plus in my book. 

3. NAIL FILER: Thanks to my prenatal vitamins my nails grow extremely fast. I am really enjoying this because I normally have short nails, but I don't like my nails to be extra long either so I'm constantly filing my nails down. One thing is for sure my nails are always looking cute! 

4. BRIGHT LIPSTICK: I think that makeup is the best accessory for any girl especially if you're pregnant. I am always wearing red lips but pink tones are my favorite. Just because I'm pregnant doesn't mean I can't look pretty. 

5. ELASTIC BELT: I had a pencil skirt that came with an elastic belt and it's my best friend! I can wear my pants or shorts without having to buckle them up and still be comfortable. The best part is that I didn't have to buy any maternity pants thanks to this belt. You can find these anywhere. It doesn't necessarily have to be a maternity belt as long as it's extra stretchy. 

6. PILLOW: I didn't buy a body pillow because I can sleep very good at night. I did however have to buy a pillow to support my back. My back pains are no joke, and when I'm watching TV or just relaxing this pillow makes my back feel amazing. Whether it be a body pillow or just a fluffy pillow get one! It will help you immensely. 

7. COMFORTABLE SHOES: During summer I would wear sandals, but now that fall is basically here and so is my due date I bought a comfy pair of boots that I can wear outside of work and to work. They have an elastic going up the back of the boot which is a plus because my legs feel swollen as well as my feet. I am all about being comfortable, but still looking cute.

8. JEGGINGS/ LEGGINGS: I have so many of these. I absolutely love them. I feel comfortable and cute all day long! No need to buy maternity clothes! 

9. PREGNANCY APP/ BOOK: My boyfriend and I are always keeping each other updated on my pregnancy. This is our first baby so we have no idea what it's going to be like. Reading about giving birth and having a baby really helps us get an idea of what to expect. I like to keep myself informed, otherwise I don't know what I would do. 

10. SUPPORTIVE BRA: My breast grew so big so I had to invest on a good/comfortable bra. I need as much support as I can get. My number one rule be comfortable and look pretty. 

Thanks for reading. Hope this helps if you are ever pregnant. I am enjoying every minute of my pregnancy, and will be updating frequently. Posting outfits and much more. Have a fabulous day!
