Baby: Diaper Bag + Stroller Essentials

Diaper Bags: Goyard {from Barneys New York's Beverly Hills Location}, Jonathan Adler For Skip Hop Dash Diaper Bag in Chevron Blue and Jonathan Adler For Skip Hop Pronto Changer in Chevron Blue.

Inside The Goyard Bag: Apple + Bee Organic Elephant Changing Pad, Apple + Bee Organic Elephant Pouch, Aden + Anais Bamboo Swaddling Blanket, Aden + Anais Burp Bib, Jellycat Elephant Lovie, Wubbanub Giraffe Pacifier and Extra Change of Clothes {Baby Gap Onesie + Socks}.

Inside The Apple + Bee Organic Elephant Pouch: Diapers, Baby Wipes, Dapple Pacifier Wipes, Dapple Toy + Surface Wipes, Arm + Hammer Disposable Bags, Avent Pacifiers, The Honest Company Hand Sanitizer and Aquaphor Baby.

Stroller: Bugaboo Bee in Special Edition All Black with Infant Cocoon, Organizer, Cup Holder and The Mommy Hook.

I got a few requests to see inside baby's diaper bag and thought it'd be helpful to give a full checklist of everything I packed for when we are out and on the go. Obviously this list might change once baby is here so I'll be sure to post an update. I plan on primarily using the Goyard bag and will keep the Pronto Changer in my car at all times for emergencies. The Jonathan Adler For Skip Hop Diaper Bag will double as baby's travel bag for clothes to the hospital and on quick weekend trips. Is there anything I missed that you'd suggest I keep in the bags? Would love any suggestions or feedback! I'll post a nursery tour and my hospital bag checklist soon too. XOXO

P.S. If anyone has a Homegoods store near them I found the Jonathan Adler For Skip Hop Diaper Bag for 50% off and they also had the black/red and yellow/grey versions.

Shop Now: Neiman Marcus + Target

Neiman Marcus + Target recently paired up with 24 designers to launch a collection on December 1st just in time for the holidays. In comparison to previous collaborations, most of it is surprising still in stores and online! I think they were a little off the mark in regards to prices but there are some reasonable and cute items that are worth looking at. My favorite pieces were the DVF yoga mat, Tory Burch thermos and matching lunchbox {could be used as a makeup or toiletry case too}. I also got the Proenza Schouler sweatshirt which was reasonably priced, especially compared to other clothing in the collection, at $29.99. Other great pieces I saw included the Altuzarra bar tray, cocktail shaker and bar glasses {really nice quality.. I'd love to get them if they get marked down} and the cream Marchesa little girls' dress {I wish they made this in grown up sizes!}. Did you get anything from the collection? Check it out on Neiman's website here and on Target here. XOXO

How I Spent My... Weekend

{clockwise from top left}

1. Belated anniversary chocolate covered strawberries at The Langham. 2. The view of them setting up for The Bachelorette wedding from our room. 3. Rainy day Essie Beyond Cozy manicure. 4. The Bachelorette wedding site close up. 

This past weekend we stayed at the hotel where we got married and coincidentally they were filming The Bachelorette wedding which is set to air on December 16th. We got to see some of the previous cast members around the hotel including host Chris Harrison and we saw both the ceremony and reception areas as they were setting up. Looking forward to seeing it all come together on TV especially since we celebrated our special day there too! Saturday we took a childbirth class {eek} and then had our shower on Sunday {such a great day!}. Can't wait for this little guy to get here within the next few weeks! XOXO

Baby: Tailgate Shower

Last weekend our friends threw us an amazing couples tailgate shower, it was a blast! They put so much time and effort into all the little details to make it such a special day. Everyone dressed in their favorite team's apparel, we had a faux sports tattoo station, I refereed a few games of flip cup and then we played a corn hole tournament! My husband loves the Chicago Bears so our friends built and painted us the corn hole boards above to take home and got baby boy his own personalized jersey with my hubby's high school football number on it!  

Today marks 35 weeks and 35 days or less to go! I can't believe how close we are to meeting our little one {who still needs a name btw!}. Tomorrow we go to a childbirth class at our hospital and then my mother-in-law and sister-in-law are throwing us a final shower on Sunday. Hope you have a great weekend! XOXO
