I was so excited when Chicago, Aqua Mermaid reached out and asked me to try out the newest and hottest aquafitness classes! I've always felt I was part mermaid - so when the word 'MERMAID' was mentioned I was sold immediately! Initially the class was supposed to be for me only, but I had get my bestie Baby K involved and asked if it was possible to bring kiddos as well.CLICK READ MORE to see our fun Mermaid gallery as well as a video of our amazing day!!!

Read MoreIf you follow me on social media then you know I gave birth to a little girl two weeks ago. Thalia (Taaah-Lee-Yaa) Sky was born on March 21st, 2016 at 10:46am. Thalia, is named after one of the nine muses, Zeus's daughter and the Godess of Comedy, let's hope she's funny!
She's a perfectly beautiful little peanut that I'm not quite ready to share her with the world just yet, although I did post this photo of us at our seven day shoot.
I'm enjoying this little babe so much and if I could bottle up her beautiful baby smell into a vile I would probably make gazillions! I can't believe that I'm a mama of three... I was anxious and terrified of the thought, yet the transition has become seamlessly natural.

Read MoreHappy sunny Wednesday everyone!!! So I wanted to chat about wearing jeans while preggo. I actually only bought one pair of maternity jeans this pregnancy from TARGET. They have some awesome inexpensive options. I also did a little trick and wore my jeans throughout. I'm currently nine months preggo and these baggy boyfriend jeans (which are much tighter then usual now) still fit with the help of a little rubber band trick and a longer tee to cover it all up!

Read MoreThere are only a few days left in 2015 and I can't help but reflect on this year as it quickly passes us by. This year hasn't been the easiest one, my family has gone through some difficult times but it's with smiles, optimistic views on life, strength and bond, that we've been able to get through it all...
Read MoreOne of my favorite times of the year is now!!! We've actually had a super crazy warm front in Chicago... obviously El Niño in full swing! However every year around this time most of us, especially peeps that live in cold climates, plan vacations, trips, escapes, and for me this year baby moons!
So today's post will be all about my favorite, swim and resort wear. This is part one of my Miami getaway, I'll have part two and all my outfit details along with shopping guides in the next post. So for now, sit back, relax, and read all about Wala Swim my favorite in all beach/resort wear!

Read MoreLast week was one of those super insane weeks with shoots, styling gigs and a ton of events! It's been getting a bit harder with this pregnancy to be on my feet all day, (I wear heels to work a lot and may be on my feet anywhere from 10 to 12 hours), then heading over to work parties/events...it's been a bit wacky for one human making lady to handle!
However there was one celebration I simply couldn't miss. I've been so excited for the Elina Casell by Mia Bossi handbag line collab. Ok so I'm a bit biased...part of my so called 'Girl Squad' is the creator of Mia Bossi, Janet Mandel. So of course I wanted to support her, even if it meant wobbling my preggo ass to her Blackhawks (yes you'll love this sports fans) Star-Studded Event!

Read MoreI used to say, I would never be caught dead in sweats and a tee walking down the street.
