Today’s all about reflecting on the winter fashion that made dressing for this season fun. I love winter and fall fashion because it’s all about layers, and last year was no exception. I love that I got out of my comfort zone, and embraced mixing it up when I could. Embracing being a mommy, and being fashionable has had it’s ups and down, but I think I have finally found my style voice. It’s still growing and evolving, but I’m happier than I’ve been in a long time about the balance I’ve found for being a mom and a stylish woman. It took some trial and error. Somedays outfits were not wins, and didn’t work at all for the role of momma. Hello, open back shirts are not a good idea for bending down to pick up babies. I learned this the hard way, and I had some laughs at the oops moments. These are my favorites from Winter 2016.

In the spirit of reflecting, and wanting to give y’all things you’d like to see I would love to know more about what you all would like to see for winter and spring 2017. Thank you so much for all your support over the last year!! It’s means so much to me to share what I love most style, beauty, and my babies!! Hope y’all have a fabulous weekend!!

Perfect Homebody Outfit

January 11, 2017

1 / 2 /3 /4 / 5

The last few weeks have been a blur of long nights, and early mornings with my son. One of the things that has helped keep me stay sane besides coffee is changing out of my pajamas every morning. I don’t care if I’m only half out of them. As long as I have a top or bottoms on that I didn’t sleep in I feel like some variation of normal. Since my daughter hasn’t had her first big round of vaccinations I’m at home a lot. It’s only natural to get cabin fever. Since I’m home with my kiddos during the day I am all about some loungewear.

Thankfully lounge ware has come a long way since I was a kid. Hello cute slim fit sweat pants. I like shirts with cute messages on them, and this one is right up my alley. Since I’m keeping up with a newborn and a toddler I opted for a slip on that has a back to it. Traditional slippers are too easy to fall in. I’m a little on the clumsy side, and anything that helps me not fall on my face is great. Ohh and we all need our nails to have a little color on them. I love this new OPI line. It really looks great, and last longer than the traditional nail polish. I might do a tutorial on the new OPI Infinite Shine line if y’all are interested. Let me know if that’s something you’d like to see.

Hope y’all have a great Wednesday!! Woo hoo to just a few more days till the weekend!!

Everyone Needs This Carseat Baby Pillow

January 8, 2017

Baby Sofia:Carseat:UppaBaby | Ellie Ears c/o | Hat:Baby Gap | Blanket:Pottery Barn Kids (sold out, but similar style and message!! On sale too!!), Pottery Barn Kids sold out (similar style)

Happy New Year!! I hope everyone had a fantastic holiday season. I enjoyed lots of time with my hubby, and our family. My daughter, Sofia, is 6 weeks old, and she is starting to show her personality a little bit more. Which my hubby and I love!! This was Manny Jr.’s second Christmas, and he was really excited to open boxes, and push them around the house. It’s so true what people says about toddlers and gifts. Give them an empty box, and they really will be in heaven for days with it.

The past week the temps have been the chilliest I have felt in Houston in a long time. I had planned on taking Sofia on a walk the day we took these photos, but with the chilly temps we decided to stay close to home. We did get outside for a little fresh air, and so my son could play outside. He loves exploring the outdoors. I brought Sofie out in her carseat, and Ellie Ears. These are an amazing new baby product from Modern Barn that every new baby needs. I ran across them while looking at Jillian Harris’s Instagram. Yep I love me some celebrity new mommas!! So I got really lucky when I found the Ellie Ears because I had literally been looking every where for something that would keep the new babies head centered and supported. With my son I tried using the newborn insert I had bought for my carseat, but that only worked for about 2 weeks because a week later the lower half of my sons body was too big for the newborn insert. The problem was his head still needed something to help support, and keep him centered in his carseat. So when I found these in month seven of my pregnancy I emailed the Ellie Ears company to make sure these were the right fit for what I needed. Thankfully they checked all the boxes for keeping the new babes head centered and supported. The next best thing is they come in couple different patterns, and they even have matching blankets you can order. Modern Barn By Acres Of Memories is generously giving my readers 15% off with Coupon Code PRETTY15!! This Code will run till January 2017!! As a new mom for the second time around, I would love to know what your must have baby product were.

Since I haven’t completely lost all the baby weight I have been living in these stretchy comfy dresses, and of course some of my favorite loungewear. Not being back to my post baby size has been an adjustment. I promised myself I’m not going to be hard on myself. I try to remind myself Angela it took 9 months to put this baby weight on, and it’s going to take sometime to lose it the healthy way. So I’m staying positive, loving the new me, and what my body has made. It’s pretty crazy to think a little over 6 weeks ago she was hanging out in my tummy, and now she is here. Now back to the outfit. I promise I won’t be so long winded on every blog post. I thought since we were going to be outside I might as well dress up a little bit. Plus I’m guessing my neighbors have seen me enough in my pajamas getting the mail. This is a non maternity dress that I wore while I was pregnant. I have to say it is really comfortable on. I added this long BP cardigan that I’ve basically been living in, and this necklace that I made myself. I did a tutorial all about how to make it here. It’s one of my favorite necklaces because it brings back memories of being a kid at camp doing arts and crafts. That was seriously one of my favorite parts of camp. You can never be too careful with your little one, my friend recently had an accident on the sidewalk because of construction works and was so glad she had slip and fall lawyer in florida at hand! Their legal knowledge is second to none!

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope y’all have a fabulous Monday!! Don’t forget to take advantage of the 15% coupon code for your Ellie Ears!!
