Hey dolls! This evening I have some older photos for you as I play catch up while the little one is sleeping. That’s right, if you don’t follow me on Instagram, you may have missed that Baby R&P arrived three weeks ago hence the sporadic posting. Motherhood has been quite amazing so far!

Hubby tried to capture most weeks of my pregnancy and this was week 37, I would’ve preferred the early signs of pregnancy being captures. Due to the heat, I declared the latter half of my pregnancy a pants free zone! Of course, I was all about still looking fashionable. Thankfully, I was able to wear most of my regular clothes for the long haul, but Target was one of my go to places for the maternity items I ended up purchasing due to the great discounts on Cartwheel. I picked up several of these maternity Liz Lange sleeveless jersey dresses from Target because of the price point ($24.99), how comfortable they were and they fit as I continued to get bigger. I’ve noticed that the pattern you mostly see on maternity clothing is stripes, so I grabbed this black and white print that wasn’t a solid stripe as soon as I saw it.

My Firmoo black to clear glasses went perfectly with this look! I’ve been searching for a pair of trendy black frames, so I was excited to see these added to the site (currently available only in tortoise and clear for $29). These work well with the shape of my face and were comfortable, without having to be pushed up continually.

Recently, I’ve fallen in love with Keep Collective after being introduced by one of my dear sorority sisters. If you haven’t heard of this company, it’s owned by Stella & Dot and allows you to personalize jewelry pieces by choosing each item separately. I love the versatility of the bands and how the keys (they function as charms) can be mixed and matched. They have personal designers, who can provide you with ideas as all of the options can be overwhelming. I highly recommend this site, and my personal Keep Collective designer, if you’re looking for a unique gift for someone or even yourself. Below is a close up of my first piece (I’ve since ordered a second band).

So many great pieces in this post from Target, Firmoo, and Keep Collective! For all of my nail fanatics who are mothers out there, where did you get most of your maternity pieces?
