Summer Wishlist - Maternity Edition | Fashion & Beauty

What is up my friends?! How is the beginning of your summer going? Mine is filled with lots of work. And feeling my little girls kicking, which is super exciting. I'm in the process of redefining and changing up this blog, so slowly you'll see changes. I will be a mother come September/October so my mindset has changed, therefore, this blog will change. But it will still be about all the things that make me happy.

Like clothes.

For today's #FashionFriday I have made my summer clothing wishlist! Now, these are all maternity clothes, so if you're not pregnant, I'm sorry to not cater to you too. Next year you'll get your shot. All of these are shoppable if you click on them and all are under $50 (which is kind of difficult to do, but it's been done).

So enjoy shopping some of my summer maternity favorites!

My Favorite Winter Accessories

I found it so beautifully ironic that during a photo shoot for winter accessories it began to snow. Going through the pictures you can see the snow slowly getting heavier. So sorry for the random white blurs, but I personally love it.

Let's go through each detail one by one. Everything was bought years ago (except one item) so there aren't any direct links to products, but I'll do the best I can to find matches.

RED HAT: Given by a friend

RED STRIPED GLOVES: Rue 21

EAR HAT: Pac Sun (Similar)

BLACK AND GRAY GLOVES: Rue 21

HEADPHONE HAT: Old Navy

I love all my winter hats but I'm particularly fond of the ear one. I had been asking for it and Chris gave it to me for Christmas! It's new, but I've worn it a lot. I also love the one with headphones. I was listening to the Heroes & Villains playlist on my Spotify account. A new song was added to that playlist this week in honor of tomorrow's story so go check it out! 

I loved creating this post, I love winter accessories even if I don't always love winter, and I hope you all loved it as well. Don't forget to shop for your own winter accessories below, because if you live in Utah, like me, we still have cold weather for a while. I included a cow hat below because I do own a cow hat, and I'm a huge fan of it.

Christmas Wishlist

Happy Fashion Friday y'all! It's officially after Thanksgiving so we can start thinking about Christmas. Shoutout to all my friends who started putting up their Christmas trees after Halloween, you should all be ashamed of yourselves.

Anyways...

Clothes are always at the top of my wishlists for any gift giving situation. Whether I'm given money, gift cards, or actual clothes, it's probably the smartest gift to give me. So today I'm doing an unconventional Fashion Friday post to show off the clothes I'm wanting at the moment.

I've never really known how to define my style, but recently I've been working on it. These are all items that I think would fit into my current wardrobe while also helping me transition into a new wardrobe. Defining your own style is difficult, but I'm trying my best. Most my inspiration is coming from my Pinterest board.

Feel free to shop from this list as well (Affiliate Links). Like all my fashion posts, the following items are all under $50. (And, you know, you're always welcome to buy these products for me, you know, if you want. Wink wink.)

If you thought my wishlist would be colorful... then you don't know me at all.

Winter Is Coming...

Just because of the title, I'm curious how many of my blog readers are Game of Thrones fans. Let me know in the comment section below. Personally, I've never watched it, but I've read the majority of the first book and I have a husband who is in love with it and talks about it non-stop. So I do know the majority of what happens, without having to watch nudity or violence, because I'm not a fan of either. 

So winter is coming. Maybe it's here. I'm writing this on Tuesday. Forecast says it's supposed to snow on Thursday, so when you're reading this on Friday there's a good chance there's snow in my hometown. Probably check out my Twitter or Instagram and I'll be talking all about it. 

I'm so in love with this sweater, I have worn it at least once a week since buying it, and that was over a month ago. Literally obsessed. I saw a sweater like this on New Girl and knew I needed one so I found this one. It's a love story. 

There's still time to enter my Zak Detox Deodorant giveaway! Don't forget to enter before the end of the month.

It's Windy On Top Of Cache Valley

I have some terrible photos coming your way!!

So we took these photos at Morty's on their top balcony. Morty's is an amazing burger place. It's on campus and it's all unique and healthy so it's where all the hipster college students hang out, but luckily for us it's now summer, so Cache Valley's supply of hipster college students has depleted.

If you live near the USU campus I highly recommend checking out this place. This trip I had their Sunny Side burger which included a fried egg. It was delicious. They also have amazing French fries... and if you know me I can't resist French fries. But they also have scone fries, which are basically just scones in a dippable format, it's delicious. And another bonus, if you're a fan of the Dole Whips from Disneyland like my husband is, they have them there!! This restaurant is just a big win.

I am obsessed with my shirt in these pictures as well as this jacket. This jacket is old, I got it before I got married, but it's still great and I never want to let it go! The pictures aren't great though because it was cold and windy and we just wanted to go back inside, but the view was amazing!

Shirt: Down East

Jacket: Target

Pants: Walmart

Shoes: Ross

Business Casual

Today's look is one of my typical work outfits. I'm obsessed with this shirt right now. A few weeks ago I wore it, washed it that night, and wore it again the next day... making sure I didn't see all the same people. Still, totally obsessed.

Fun fact, these are actually maternity pants. My mom got them for me back in October (thanks again mom!) when I was pregnant. What's nice is that they aren't your typical maternity pants with the giant band that goes over your pregnant belly, these pants just have a thin elastic band. I love it because then I can wear them anytime, pregnant or not, and nobody knows that they're really maternity pants and they're nice so I can wear them to work, so people think I'm in those uncomfortable dress pants, but in reality I'm in comfy elastic waistband pants.

Holy giant sentence...

Anyways, I hope you enjoy today's Fashion Friday post. Don't forget to follow me on the social medias to always know when a new blog post is up. I love you all, I consider you some of my greatest friends, and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Do you need nice dress pants for work too? Here's some great ones under $50... that aren't maternity pants. Ha ha.

Spring Is For Flowers

This shirt I got out of the plus size section. I saw it and fell in love so I tried it on and decided I could get away with wearing it. But I'll be honest, there was a moment of fear and regret that I was potentially taking such a cute shirt away from someone who would fit into it better than I do. I genuinely feel bad if I think about it too much. 

Also to all of those people out there (mainly my coworkers) who haven't noticed I dyed my hair red... can you tell now? 

I really want Fashion Fridays to be a thing. Something that stays. So I'm going to do my best to keep up with these types of posts every Friday, but please don't be expecting one every week, we all know it won't happen. 

It's Springtime now! I love Spring! The weather isn't too cold, it has been super rainy though. It rained most of the day I took these pictures, I was lucky to get out at a dry moment, but it was rather chilly. I love this season. I love that it means flowers are here. So I love wearing my new favorite shirt with the floral details! 

At the end of this post you can find some of my other favorite floral print shirts available for purchase, so keep reading to see more of my pictures and to shop for some other great floral print shirts and dresses!

Glasses And Flannel -Blogtober Day 2

There are a lot of crows near our apartment and in the first picture I was looking up at a crow as it made a noise I didn't know crows were capable of. Anyone who knows me well knows that birds terrify me, so you would think my face would be more scared, but the sound was so Jurassic Park-ish that I was just amazed by it. 

I love glasses. Ever since my sister got glasses in elementary school I have wanted glasses. And yet, I am the only one in my family who does not need them (although I feel my job of staring at a computer all day has a been deteriorating my eyesight). So for years and years, even before it was a fad, I occasionally wore fake glasses because I wanted them so badly. I think I look good in them and they make me happy, although these ones are meant to help in sunlight, meaning they have an annoying yellowish tint and make looking at a computer screen painful, so I can't even wear these to work. So lame. 

Last weekend I went to Ross and bought six shirts that were almost all flannel. They are so cute though and I can't wait to show you the rest of them, but heads up, you may get sick of seeing me in plaid. I also bought this boots that I'm notw in love with and the week before bought these leggings, but I am slightly disappointed by them. I bought them because my other leggings of this brand are ridiculously comfortable and stay in place. These ones are too tight, with not as comfortable fabric, and slide down too much. Oh well. They still look great. 

Glasses: Claire's

Shirt: Ross

Leggings: June & Daisy

Boots: Ross

Heads up! I have a haul video coming up this month so you can see the other shirts I got from Ross last week! But for now, enjoy some other cute ones I found online:
