Well here I am!!! Nine months pregnant, anxiously waiting for this babe to arrive. I can't begin to explain to you how crazy the last month of pregnancy is. First of all, it totally drags! You start to panic!!! I NEED THIS BABY OUT NOW! So then you google... castor oil, sex, bouncing balls, walking, squats, running (if you can manage), stripping membranes, begging doc for induction... anything to make you feel less of a Humpty Dumpty, especially when you need to be pulled off the couch and pushed out of bed or a car.What I wore: Jumpsuit: Séraphine similar HERE and cool 70's version HERE // Eye Clutch: SHEin similar HERE and adorable back pack versions HERE and HERE // Pumps: MIU MIU similar and a style steal HERE // Sunnies: Chloé similar style steal options HERE, HERE and HERE // Cuff: Hermés similar style steal version HERE // Earrings: Forever21
Read MoreAs I'm gearing closer to the birth of my third child, my anxiety levels are at an all-time high! It's crazy! You'd think that doing this for the third time would be a breeze, but somehow knowing exactly what a child means and what this transition does to a family, makes it all that much harder to process. The unknown of the delivery, the baby's ultimate health and bringing a newborn home with all the ups and downs and the sleepless nights, all while trying to balance my other babes, career, home life and friendships is a bit of a mind f*ck if you ask me!
So I decided I needed a "ME" moment and some time to unwind and beautify! I know that there won't be much time for sleep, beauty, or really "ME" time the first few months. The whole notion of you sleep when baby sleeps doesn't really apply to mothers of multiple kids with an entrepreneurial type of job. So I'm being realistic all while getting facials, spray tans (I'm obsessed with my girl DEENA who comes to your house), manis, pedis and lash extensions!

Read MoreWell, I'm finally at the home stretch... which means that my body is quickly expanding and my organs are being kicked and punched by little hands and feet that I'm already so in love with.
I will admit, this whole not buying maternity clothing and staying fabulous is getting a bit harder, but I'm not giving up! I'm almost done, and with last trimester being one of the hardest in any pregnancy, I have to say, dressing somehow has made me feel better.
This dress by SheIn is first of all a steal. It's only $19 and is perfect for when you want to look great without breaking the bank. It's super stretchy, and I love the gold weaving detail. Makes me feel so Studio54! By the way, I found these gorgeous dresses with similar fabric. Love this style HERE and HERE, all on sale and all so fabulous!

Read MoreWell hello 2016! It's crazy to think that 2015 just flew right by and I'm excited and anxious to see what this year has in store. This is "my year"! I was born in the year of the Monkey and I hope that this year is filled with health, happiness, hope and love... oh and a healthy little bébé!
This post isn't about New Years however, it's about not losing myself during this pregnancy. Everyone always talks about pregnant women and comfort, well, screw that. I wasn't always comfortable while I'm not incubating a human, why do I have to change now?!

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 MoreOne thing's for certain... this growing belly is getting harder and harder to dress. My previous two pregnancies I was getting larger in the summer and therefore my wardrobe consisted of jersey fabric maxi dresses, bandage skirts and tees. Now I'm preggo in a completely different season, mind you, I live in Chicago and therefore getting bigger as the weather gets colder has proven to be a bit more difficult.
However, I'm up for the challenge and as I've previously stated, I don't believe in wearing majority maternity wear. I mean who wants to spend all that money on six months of your life?! I say six because technically you don't start showing till month three. My goal is to only buy pieces that will transition with my body and that I can still wear post the bump.
So this is where the cape comes in!

Read MoreAlthough the last few leaves are quickly blowing off the trees and we are in the final days of fall, don't pack away your summer dresses just yet. The key layering piece in your wardrobe this year is the turtleneck and it's the key to keep your favorite summer staples in rotation this season. I personally love this Wolford version that I've had for years but there are plenty of other wonderful options out there for a bargain.

Read MoreI used to say, I would never be caught dead in sweats and a tee walking down the street. I also said I would never live in the burbs after living in the city majority of my life, fast forward to this suburban-urban living in the North Shore of Chicago and rocking her sweats down the streets! Perhaps there's a life lesson there! Never say... NEVER!What I wore: Tee: The Boyfriend V Neck similar HERE Pants: Eversoft Slouchy Pants similar HERE Jacket: Zara similar HERE Sunnies: AJ Morgan Booties: Pedro Garcia similar HERE Backpack: SheIn similar HERE Earrings: Forever21
