 What goes into a blog shoot you ask? Well this particular day started out cold, hence the jacket. By shoot time it was roasting, my feet were numb, I was changing outfits in my car in a busy parking lot, and my hair full on frizzed. Nevertheless, I always love doing a blog shoot. 

When I saw this top in Target it was like I got the heart eyes emoji on my face. I'm so small busted that I normally shy away from any type of wrap top (even though I think they are beautiful) but as I was looking at this top, I didn't care. I was thinking about all the items in my own closet that this top would be amazing with, so apologies in advance if you see it lots! It's a flattering, not-too-low wrap, cropped, and a peplum so what's not to love?

Maternity Pictures

 

Dress: Altrd State (non-maternity), Sandals: Topshop, Flower Crown: Francesca's Collections

I can't beleive I'm 8 months preggo tomorrow! 

Nothing like some spur of the moment maternity pics on the Iphone! We were out for my dad's birthday and passed the gardens on the way home and decided the light was perfect for taking some pictures in my favorite place on earth. I just know that as my little guy grows up in these gardens, he will love them too. 

PS: how funny is my dad? He decided to photo-bomb a couple of my pics and I couldn't breathe with how hard I was laughing. Those moments make the best candid pics!

What a Marilyn moment I was having with that wind! It blew my dress up every time we went to shoot a picture, so sometimes, it works out!

One of the things I love most of Northeast Ohio is all the unique shopping areas. I always love this particular one due to the amazing flowers and landscapes they have. My flower slip dress fit right in!

Romping in the Gardens

What a beautiful weekend I had for my birthday. I celebrated it doing the things I love with the people I love. This was our visit to the Cleveland Botanical Gardens, one of my favorite places in University Circle. Of course lunch was in Little Italy after with a stop at Presti's to gorge on my favorite sweets. If you really know me then you know I feel most at peace in the woods, but the gardens have a special place in my heart too.

What I Wore Weekend: Feeling Groovy

 

Obviously this is the dreamiest summer mini ever. Get me in nature and my shoes come off and frolic I go. Ps, how cute are these gold metallic gladiators? I love a gold accent. The shoelaces that came with these actually were stiff raw-hide ones that probably wouldn't have laced well, but as soon as I got them, I switched out the dull pair for a rich brown suede lace to make them a little more S/S 2015 runway Chloe- inspired. I lace them up around my calves, and it gives the gold a pop for sure!

Life lately has been a whirlwind of busy plans, but I'm not complaining! This weekend (like the last) was super busy but the best part was seeing my best friend and her new fiancé on Friday for dinner. Andrea lives in New York (country not city) we were roommates in college. She is the funniest, outgoing, hardworking and loveable girl and I cannot wait to start the wedding festivities as one of her bridesmaids! The last time I saw her was in May TWO YEARS AGO which is a torturous amount of time to not see each other. I was definitely sad when they left!

I'm currently working on re-designing my office/blog space which I am super excited about, I'll give a sneak peek of my new space soon! Plus, Wednesday I have a all new style star I will be featuring on Stylin' & Profilin' so stay tuned for that as well!
