Red. Red. Red.

Happy Friday Everyone!!!!!

I feel like I am getting more pregnant by the day haha. I am 24 weeks today!!! Only four more weeks until the third trimester!!!!! I am so excited it's the weekend. It's two of my favorite people's birthdays!!!! I love celebrating the people I love and am so thankful they are a part of my life. I seem to have a think for Geminis, not only are my mom and brother both Geminis but also a few of my closest friends. Funny how that works. 

Well I am loving this Asos Maternity Dress. I ordered it back when I was in my first trimester and my bump is finally getting the right size for it. I really love the bright oxblood color. The modest cut of the dress makes me feel so motherly but the accessories make me feel very cool and hip. It's a nice balance. The shoes definitely play up the edge. It's weird becoming mother. It definitely makes me think more about what I wear and what message it's sending. It makes me want to make small adjustments to my style. Nothing too short or too low cut anymore. My love for sky high shoes is dwindling and my need for comfortable boots and sneakers is growing. I will still always have a place in my heart for heels but they are becoming more for special occasions and less for everyday. My achy feet just can't handle them anymore. And the last thing I want is damaged feet that will keep me from running and playing with my little one. 

Overall I will say it feels good to grow and change and mature. And I am really enjoying discovering new facets in myself and parts of me that I have never known. 

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!!!

Come As You Are.

A lovely Sunday Funday to everyone! It's a nice 70 degrees today but this next week is supposed to be in the 90s!!! I opted to get in a wear of my TOPSHOP Plaid maternity pants. I adore these pants. They bring me back to 7th grade listening to Nirvana and No Doubt, when my closet was only full of various colored Converse. I really do feel like the modern love child of Kurt Cobain and Gwen Stefani in this outfit. These pants are just so comfortable. So is this super soft Splendid heather grey top. I feel like I am wearing pajamas. I haven't been super into wearing any shoe with a heel on it lately, I blame my growing belly and achy feet. I have a feeling I am going to be living in these Modern Vice boots all summer long. They are sleek, a bit badass and the cut outs make them very breathable. I look forward to wearing them with feminine frocks. I got this Rebecca Minkoff bag last year for my honeymoon. I loved the size of it and the silvery finish. It has a great balance of glamour and edginess that I just love. 

Well I am off on Sunday adventure with the husband. I hope you all have a wonderful day!

Blackbird.

Feeling like a blackbird today. This capey shirt and all black ensemble makes me feel like I may grow feathers and fly away. If I could I would fly somewhere colder than sunny L.A. I can't take anymore eighty degree weather. I dream of grey skies, a chill in the air and a fall breeze. Wearing all black is really keeping me sane until I can finally sport sweaters, beanies and thick, wooly socks. All black is a regular thing for me, especially during the fall and winter seasons. I don't know why exactly. I always find that I feel like my true self in a colorless look and a bold lip with edgy accessories. Today I was feeling like a minimalist and went light on the jewelry, well, light for me. I figured in case I did grow some wings I wouldn't want a wristful of bangles to weigh me down.

This top I got in Greece in Oia on my honeymoon, it was on the mannequin and I was like yes I will have that please. It's a Greek designer called Moutaki. These skinnies I got in D.C. at a random Barney's outlet that we stumbled across. They're The Cameron by Genetic Denim in Raven. They're pretty much the best motorcycle inspired jean I have come across. They're super stretchy and comfortable with great detailing and cut.  Paired with my Sam Edelman Zoe Booties (they are my faves I have worn these so much I may need another pair) - it's the perfect day to night look for this transitional weather. Especially when I toss in my quilted, silver Rebecca Minkoff bag. 

Now I am really ready to grow some wings and fly away...

 

"Blackbird singing in the dead of night,

Take these broken wings and learn to fly...."

 

"All your life, you were only waiting

for this moment to arise..."

 

"Blackbird fly, blackbird fly, 

into the light of the dark, black night..."

Flowing Like The Sea.

The second half of summer is always a weird time for me. I can only take the heat for so long. Too much sunshine makes me withdrawn. I love the seasons, I feel their impact on me. Autumn is my favorite, I get anxious waiting for it to come. Literally sweating it out. I got this Free People New Romantics High Noon tee back in May or so to take to Greece. It's so breezy and effortless, which definitely what I have been feeling the past few weeks. I love the blue color of it, it reminds me of the Mediterranean. And it looks great paired with Nars Heat Wave lipstick.
