Baby Love.

OMG! We have the most exciting, special news to share! I am pregnant with a sweet, little bun in the oven!!! It has been killing Daniel and I to have to keep it a secret, but we wanted to make sure everything was good before we yelled it from the mountain tops. Our sweet baby is due to arrive in September! I am 13 weeks right now, and about to enter the second trimester. Time has just been flying by. Only 6 more months to go! So crazy! Well we are just over the moon with this wonderful news! 

I am finally starting to feel like my usual self. Luckily I never really had any morning sickness, just some headaches and feeling extremely tired. I don't exactly have a real bump yet. It just looks like I went to town on some pizza or something. But I can't button my jeans anymore and even my usual leggings are starting to get a little uncomfortable. Most bumps pop out between 12-18 weeks, so I am sure you'll be able to tell soon. 

This is why I haven't been posting many photos of myself on here lately. Being pregnant is pretty strange. I don't know how to describe it, it's just something you have to experience. You're whole body changes. I feel like I am in someone else's body. I've been feeling so tired, bloated and my skin was broken out for a while there, among other stuff. But everything is feeling much better, and I am finally getting used to it all. And now that the cat's out of the bag I can finally start sharing some of maternity stuff and my LITTLES pinterest board that I have keeping secret. 

WE ARE JUST SO ECASTIC & DELIGHTED!!!!!

Casual Cool.

Life has been going full speed ahead lately. This has been my go to weekend look. It's so effortless and comfy. I go through phases where I live in Daniel's shirts. Which as you can tell from the photos, I am deep into one of those phases. This is one of my favorite of his shirts. He got this one from the Gap a couple years ago. I love the color and the plaid and it's just the right amount worn in. It's super soft and light and layers so well. Although it has been more like summer than winter here lately, but a girl can dream of layering. I have also been obsessed with my Modern Vice Frankie booties. I have been wearing them literally everyday. I love the detailing on them, especially the buckle. It adds a bit of a feminine touch to my otherwise very tomboy look. And they are super comfortable. I've already put some serious miles on them. The slouchy beanie is so easy to throw on. I have been super lazy about fixing my hair lately, and opting to just throw on a hat instead. I just love this low key weekend look. It's great for brunch, the farmer's market, the flea market, running errands or just general meandering.

Happy Friday!

Girl From North Country.

 I have been thoroughly enjoying my time here in Cape Cod. I am living out all of my Walden fantasies. Spending this week living out in the woods while I just focus on getting as much work done as possible. Unlike Thoreau, I have my sweet hubby Daniel with me. He has been spending his days editing videos, while I spend mine with pen in hand, writing, creating and generally living in my head. Taking breaks to wander out into the woods or walking along the shore.

I am feeling like the girl from the north country in this outfit. It's my favorite three fall pieces: my black/navy wool coat, my black lace up boots and my oxblood hat. It is hard not to wear all three every single day out here.

 "We need the tonic of the wildness...At the same time that we are earnest to explore and learn all things, we require that all things be mysterious and unexplorable, that land and sea be indefinitely wild, unsurveyed, and unfathomed by us because unfathomable. We can never have enough of nature."

- Henry David Thoreau, WALDEN

Wild Honey Pie.

 Happy Monday people!  I feel as cuddly as a teddy bear in this toasty sweater. I love the color of it, it's like a honey, carmel, bourbon, toffee color. It makes me want to have a warm drink to sip on. It was love at first sight when my eyes befell this H&M necklace. It's silver and gold, and so simple yet packs so much punch. I have a feeling I'm going to be wearing it everyday. This is the best Monday outfit, it's simple, effortless, comfy and cozy. Only one more full week of work until Thanksgiving. I cannot wait to be on the East Coast!

His Girl Friday.

 *Sigh* I just love Fridays. Who doesn't? It's the most relaxed of the weekdays, holding the promise of the weekend, staying up late tonight and sleeping in tomorrow. This is a pretty perfect outfit for today except the beanie will have to come off between the hours of 12 and 2. I love when I leave my hair in a bun overnight and it actually has body and waves the next day. Although we will see how long it lasts. Anyways, I swear any given day I am wearing at least one Free People item. Today is no exception with this Free People ONE Golden Age Top. I originally got for my honeymoon in Greece back in June but it transitions seamlessly into fall.  I kinda want another one in Midnight or Washed Black. I can't help myself with dark colors.
Anyways...HAPPY FRIDAY!

When Doves Cry.

I am so feeling like Prince today.  This velvet jacket and peasant top from H&M Fall 2013 collection transform me. A swipe of MAC's retro matte lipstick in Dangerous and some accessories and I feel like I might need to get to some karaoke and belt out some of my Prince faves. 

I have been really loving these round two tone sunnies this month. I've been wearing them constantly. I also re-purposed a necklace I never wear by turning it into a boot chain. All it took was a little shortening of the chain. It's so perfect with this look.

My nails are still done from a 1920's Murder Mystery party that I attended over the weekend. It was amazing. And somehow these art deco nails totally work with this look. This ensemble definitely puts a bit more swagger in my step than usual, as you can see in a couple of the photos. I may have gotten carried away....
