A Look Back: Here's To 2017

2017 personally was one for the books. It has been a milestone year for me, from announcing that we are expanding our little family in March 2018 to finishing grad school. Plus, the pure luck of getting to vacation in Hawaii twice and visiting DC as a grown up during the cherry blossom season. We also finally made it back to Chicago to visit my best friend. This year politically has been a rough one, especially when it feels like everyday might be dooms day. But 2017 has personally been a sweet little blessing. And I know that 2018 will just be something truly magical when we have Baby C in our arms.
I hope everyone has a Happy and Healthy New Year! CHEERS!

Maternity Style: Winter Coat
Functional, practical, and pricing have been my three main focuses when buying maternity clothes. Though I may think of expanding our family again, you never know when you'll actually be pregnant so to be spending a lot of money on clothes you'll only end up wearing for a few months didn't make sense. I knew one item I had to spend money on was a new winter coat. I did a lot of searching and waiting until I came across the right jacket. I wanted something that will keep me warm but still was fully functional post baby. I came across a few designs that had removable extended panels for pregnancy. Then I am across the Kimi + Kai Arlo Jacket which came with a cover insert for baby carrier. I loved this because Baby C is due in late March, and as any New York knows March and April are pretty unpredictable months. We always seem to get our last bout of snowstorms in March. With that thought I knew that a cover insert for me would be ideal. I was hesitant on the whole puffer, down jacket thing. I haven't worn a puffer jacket since college...though after last winter I've been saying I should really get one. So I did. I snagged the Kimi + Kai jacket as a birthday present. Though I came close to getting this ASOS one.

I look forward to this time of year, not only because of all the goodies but my husband and I have started our own little family traditions which include over decorating our apartment, trimming the tree while listening to xmas music and drinking hot apple cider, and having an at home Christmas Eve dinner. I can't wait to start new ones with Baby C. On Black Friday I found the cutest plate and glass set for Santa. I can't wait to have Baby C leave cookies out for Santa on it.
What are your favorite Holiday traditions?

Maternity Style: Holiday Look from Day to Night
Tis the season for dressing the bump! Just because you're carrying doesn't mean you can't get festive. And there's no better way to get all festive then with a flowy skirt. These skirts are perfect for any occasion from dressy to more relaxed. Plus, I love that skirt from ASOS is perfect work day to party skirt. Since I'm the type of girl that just like to go from work to party pairing this skirt with a turtleneck and booties for a workday look was perfect. Opt for a slinky tank top and strappy heels for a dresser occasion.

Outfit Post: In Everything Give Thanks
This year I have a lot to be thankful for. The biggest thing I'm thankful for is the little bean that I'm growing inside of me. I can not begin to tell you the joy in my heart that I already feel for this little boy. I feel very blessed to have a loving and caring husband as well as a network of supportive and loving friends and family. As well as a those who connect with me through this blog. Even though I feel a bit crazed right now with my graduate school coming to an end (trying to finish my Capstone and other projects) and prepping for Baby C, I still can't help but feel very thankful and lucky for where I am right now.

Maternity Wear Must Have: Leggings
Jacket: William Rast | Sweater: c/o Poof Apparel | Leggings: H&M | Boots: Olukai | Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs |
Sunglasses: H&M
I've always been a huge fan of leggings, especially on the weekends. Now that I'm four months pregnant I have fully embraced leggings into my wardrobe full time. I have a couple pairs of maternity jeans but there is nothing like a good pair of soft leggings. I'm a fan of the over the belly panels, which isn't surprising since pre pregnancy I was a high waist junkie. I love the extra lift and comfort they give to a growing belly.
I love pairing a long tunic top with a pair of leggings for a work day look and on the weekends a quick throw on and go sweater. I'm not one for spending a lot of money on maternity wear so I have turned to H&M, Old Navy, and ASOS as my go to for maternity clothes.

Weekend Wear: Oversized Sweaters and Hot Coco
Sweater: Free People | Leggings: Old Navy | Boots: c/o Duo Boots | Socks: Loft | Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs | Hat: Zara | Sunglasses: NYC street vendor
It's been super cold here in NYC and my body is in shock. Nothing like coming back from 80 degree weather to 30 degree weather. And since now it feels more like winter than it does fall all I want is hot coco. Also might be Baby C talking as well. So on Saturday before we hit up Buy Buy Baby I made the husband make a mandatory pit stop at Colson Pastries for some hot coco. It was exactly what I had been craving all week. Nothing like a cozy oversized knit and hot coco on a cold Saturday.
