Inspiration: Holiday Card Outfits

Davis Knit Hat + Booties: Misha + Puff | Romper: Zara Nicole Dress: Zara | Shoes: Rag & Bone Newbury Booties Matt Shirt: J.Crew | Tie: J.Crew | Pants: J.Crew Hudson Sweater: Zara Cashmere | Shirt: Crew Cuts | Shoes: Freshly Picked Hard Soles

We are gearing up to take pictures for our holiday card this weekend and I thought I'd share what we are wearing for them. We usually are in white for most of our family photos so I thought we'd switch it up a little this time with a mostly black, charcoal and tan color palette. Will share the final outcome soon ... can't wait to kick off the holiday season in just a few weeks! XOXO

Baby: What's In My Diaper Bag

Saint Laurent Tote | EllandEmm Purse Charm | Samorga Purse Organizer | One Truffle Large Clarity Pouch | Let's Playground Micro Changing Mat in Metallic Platinum | Modern Burlap Organic Swaddle | Mitani Designs Organic Burp Cloth | Comotomo Bottle | WubbaNub Pacifier | Freshly Picked Crib Moccasins in Ivory | The Honest Company Wipes, Hand Sanitizer, Organic Healing Balm + Diapers | Munchkin Arm + Hammer Pacifier Wipes + Disposable Bags

I recently packed up my new diaper bag with all the newborn essentials and thought it'd be helpful for new moms to see what I included! Since this isn't a traditional diaper bag, I ordered a custom organizer insert from Samorga and a One Truffle Clarity Pouch for diaper products to keep everything in place. With Hudson I learned that you really don't need that much - a helpful tip is to leave a change of clothes, extra diapers + wipes and some bottled water in your car so you don't have to keep them in the diaper bag as well [and because you'd most likely have your car near by if you are out]. Any day now and our second baby boy will be here, we are so excited! XOXO

Birthday breakfast at Joan's On Third with my girlfriends

I turned 29 on the 23rd of July and finished up some celebrating this past weekend with my girlfriends ... saving my bday date with the hubby for after baby boy's arrival! On my actual day I woke up to a sweet breakfast made by my boys and then had lunch at Freds at Barney's and did a little shopping. On Saturday, I went to breakfast with my besties at my favorite, Joan's On Third, which was such a treat! Hope you had a great weekend ... a What's In My Diaper Bag post coming up this week along with a little review of the Louis Vuitton Pochette Metis. XOXO

How I Spent My... Weekend

Outfit Dress: Zara [on sale in stores] | Shoes: Christian Louboutin | Necklace: Jennifer Meyer 

This past weekend I got to celebrate baby boy a second time with some of my best friends at a tea party shower at The Langham [where we got married], it was such a treat and so much fun to spend time a relaxing afternoon together! Currently 35 1/2 weeks pregnant and tomorrow I turn 29 [eek last year before the big 3-0!] - can't believe our little guy will be here in a month or less! XOXO

Fabulous Friday

TGIF! The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale opened up to the public today, just in time for some weekend shopping!

Shop all the deals here or check out some more of my picks below ... Have a great weekend! XOXO

Beauty: Recent Buys

Tom Ford Eye Quad in Nude Dip | Oribe Gold Lust Conditioner | Oribe Gold Lust Shampoo | Dry Bar Detox Dry Shampoo | Tata Harper Resurfacing Mask | Tom Ford Lip Shine in Nubile | Tata Harper Hydrating Floral Essence 

Happy Monday! I ran out of pretty much all of my beauty products this past month [seems like it always happens all at once!] and picked up these replacements, some old + some new - reviews below! Don't forgot to browse the Nordstrom Anniversary sale if you haven't already, see all my picks from Friday's post here. XOXO

Tom Ford Eye Quad in Nude Dip: This is my first time trying his eyeshadow but I've read many rave reviews for the consistency and pigmentation of this quads. I picked this palette because it looked easy to wear but was also tempted by the Cocoa Mirage colors.

Oribe Gold Lust Shampoo + Conditioner: I love the Oribe Texturizing Spray and these were recommended after a recent haircut. I'm excited to try them out, they both smell amazing!

Dry Bar Detox Dry Shampoo: I've bought this dry shampoo multiple times - it is great at making blow outs last and adds a lot of volume. I also use it in place of hairspray when I curl my hair.

Tata Harper Resurfacing Mask: This has an interesting jelly like consistency but was I was really impressed with the results from the sample I had - I've been loving all the products I've bought from her line so far.

Tom Ford Lip Shine in Nubile: Unfortunately this ended up being a little browner than I would have liked but I think it would love great on someone with a tan or darker hair. Hoping with a lip gloss on top I can make it work!

Tata Harper Hydrating Floral Essence: This spray is super refreshing and has a great scent, I also love that it's full of antioxidants and is all natural. I use it after washing my face before putting on sunscreen and serums for the day and before my lotion at night time.

Baby: Baby Gear Picks

Ubbi Diaper Pail | Bugaboo Donkey Stroller | Nuna Leaf Baby Bouncer | Beco Gemini 4 in 1 Baby Carrier | Freshly Picked Moccasins | Lexy Pexy Wooden Teethers | Maxi-Cosi Pria Convertible Car Seat | Crane Cool Mist Drop Humidifier | Nook Pebble 'Lilypad' Play Mat | Beaba Babycook Pro Baby Food Maker

As follow up to my Baby: Diaper Bag Alternatives + Baby: Diaper Bag Essentials posts, here are a few of my favorite baby gear picks that I either used with Hudson or plan to use with Baby Boy #2 in just a few weeks! We really loved our Bugaboo Bee Stroller the first time around so we decided to go with their Donkey Double Stroller so that both boys would have a place to sit - I love that it can be used in single mode as well [and has a nice storage basket to attach when doing so]. I always rave about Freshly Picked Moccasins - they were especially great for when Hudson was learning how to walk because of their soft soles. We are also big fans of Maxi-Cosi for car seats - we have used both the infant and convertible seats and love their safety features. Feel free to share any of you must have essentials in the comments, I'd love to hear your favorites! XOXO
