document this

i’ve got a few ocd-isms. (don’t we all?!) my most dangerous…the obsession to document the day to day. i’ve instilled the fear that i’m going to forget and adding a tiny human to my life has only heightened the issue. time is flying, and as much as i want to capture and hold onto it all, i need to live in the moment and enjoy today no matter what i may or may not remember tomorrow. it’s asking too much to not document the daily, however i’m making it a goal to obsess more about the present. this is my warning to you. i’m about to get more personal. this being a blog and all, a place to look back on…what did you expect?

spring fever

1 essie, a crewed interest 2 maya brenner, asymmetrical mini letter necklace 3 foley + corinna, mid city tote 4 gap, 1969 mid-weight legging jeans 5 madewell, striped telltale tank 6 madewell, biltmore overdye fedora 7 anthropologie, otero scarf 8 kiehl’s, ultra facial tinted moisturizer 9 benefit, they’re real! mascara 10 steve madden, boardwalk cognac leather sandal

my burgeoning belly left my wardrobe to be less than desired the past couple of months. logan’s here, i’m feeling semi back to normal and i’ve got a major itch for a spring makeover. bring on the skinnies!

photo a day

unlike my counterparts (ugh hum), i’m still committed to and going strong on the photo challenge a day. i’m determined to post all 365 images this year. this is my daily interpretation of april’s topics…

a mini introduction

so are you curious where i’ve been lately? we’ve been busy staring at our new girlfriend. it’s true what they say, there’s nothing more amazing than adding to your unit and spreading the love. we haven’t had time for much these days, other than holding, kissing and smelling. i’m gonna soak it up while i can, and when i find the strength to put her down i’ll share her with all of you.

we’re smitten…for like ever!

life lately

new reading material. sweet bakery. mint chocolate chip. farewell to the vespa. coloring eggs. painting project. baby bump. strawberry shake. tiny feet. april doodle…trying to stay as busy as possible ; )

38 weeks

since paul and i usually end up throwing a tantrum at the fence each week, i called in an old friend to take some professional belly shots. adrienne came prepared as she knows how awkward i feel in front of the camera.  she threw on a goofy face, loosened us up and captured some great images. i’m glad we’ll have these forever to look back on. for more, check out the work of arte vitae here and here.

i’ve always admired style icon iris apfel, but it wasn’t until watching her today show interview yesterday that i fell in love with this adorably sweet woman. aside from the fact that she takes up modeling in her spare time, she’s just like any other soft spoken woman of 90. iris prides herself on ’embracing the authenticity of aging’ and made a statement of herself this past january when she became the face of mac cosmetics launching a collection of bird-inspired bold lipsticks which flew off the shelves. we should all take a page out of iris’s book and become ‘our own beauty icon’.

‘if you’re lucky enough to get old, you should celebrate it’…and that she sure does. those glasses. i die! 

no he didn’t

ahhhhh! anyone else out there devote two hours of frustration on the bachelor every week? swear to never tune in again? and then find themselves in the same position next monday at eight pm? yeah, that’s me! every single week. every single season. what’s up with this obsession for more!? and what’s up with the horrible decisions these people make?! they hardly ever get it right and then they kill you while they awkwardly rekindle their romance live on a sofa with chris harrison and a crowd of bitter old ladies. silly! i can’t wait to watch emily in may! 

34 weeks

i started off the week feeling hot as a 34 week pregnant chick…ending the week, not so much so. this rapidly growing appendage is starting to get the best of me. in other words, i’m quickly losing my cool. when the  anxiety’s heavy i wish i could rip this belly off and jump around like my old self. unfortunately that’s probably not an option. and what’s up with all the head colds?! it’s like they’re going out of style! i’m ready to meet this miniature lady already. although maybe she could just magically appear, cause after last weeks 7 hour birth prep class, i’m petrified of whats to come. eh, enough whining. until i’m feeling better, i’m out. have a happy weekend!
