I absolutely LOVE these two tunics I purchased recently from Anthro and had to share them with you…I have been pairing them with colorful shorts and some old [and new] accessories. Both are so comfy and perfect for my day-to-day routine. :)

Introducing my NEW favorite nail polishes, "Jumpin Jade" and "Lively Lilac" ! ! ! ! I'm totally digging the Insta-Dri formula. A requirement for new mom's [or anyone in a HURRY] desiring a manicure. Thanks Sally H. :)
And I must say, this Sparkly Spruce green is perfect for the winter months…especially for the HOLIDAYS. It's so festive and gorgeous. I'm sporting it now and absolutely love it as an alternative to my normal deep Burgundy polish.
Oh and I can't forget to tell you, the polish comes with this great contoured brush…why don't all polishes come with this????
Ok, now that my life revolves around the C•L•O•C•K, I really need a watch [like sooo yesterday]. I find myself constantly searching for the time, and for some bizarre reason we only have two clocks in the whole house. And they are never in the room where I need them.
So here are a few watches I'm currently digging and think would make an excellent birthday/christmas/just-for-the-heck-of-it "gift" this year [hint, hint] … maybe Santa is reading … a fairy godmother … or maybe a certain someone [not that I'm trying put anyone on the spot]??
I know a couple of these are ridiculous in $$, but a girl can dream, right?

I'm lovin’ these ladybug wedges by Tory B. You can get yours here and remember to check Willow's blog often for their monthly giveaways. Free = fab F U N.
**Nail polish is a Chanel Jade knock off by Revlon called "Minted".
Not sure if anyone else out there in the blogosphere is preggers, but I thought I'd share with you some of my recent fashion purchases that have taken me through my entire pregnancy.
I found that it's pretty challenging to a.) find affordable maternity clothes, b.) find stylish clothes that don't scream "HEY, I'm pregnant!, and c.) find affordable stylish clothes that don't make me want to put a bag over my head. So here's a peek into my NEW wardrobe…
Stock up on LONG TANKS + TEES with cute details similar to those found in your pre-preggo closet:
Michael Stars pocket tee
Chiarakrura Top with gathered sleeves [found at Ebay]
Michael Stars shine scoop neck Top also found at Ebay
…Ebay is definitely a great resource for affordable fashions.
Liz Lange Zipper flower top
Be Maternity Tank found at Target
Great layering tank…a wardrobe staple. And note that the Target version is 1/2 the price of ingrid & isabel's version. Also available in a cami. In my opinion I opted for these styles vs. the Bella Band knock-off found also at Target.
Drape Vest that looks great layered over the Be Maternity Tank, pair with skinnies.
Beaded Top at Old Navy on sale now for under $10.
Must have STYLISH DENIM with under-belly waistband :
Paige denim Jeggins
Plan on wearing these this fall, before & after B A B Y. So I guess that helped me justify the $$$??
Olian Capris
Maternal America ankle cropped jeans, also bought the capri version, shown here.
I would wear these almost every day if I could. They are great for work or play, especially if you don't won't to wear dark denim in the summer months [cause it's 100 degrees outside]. And I could so get used to the elastic waist idea, even if I wasn't "expecting".
American Apparel leggings with button detailing, found at Overstock for under $20.
Boyfriend Shorts
MATERNITY SWIMWEAR :
Swimwear by Maternal America
So maybe this one doesn't fall into the "affordable" category, but HEY we do live at the beach. Would suggest if you are going to splurge on something, this would be the purchase. You'll thank me later! And it's mid-summer, which means it's super hot and humid.
Embrace LOOSE FLOWY DRESSES :
Tunic/Dress by F.E.M. T Bags
…another Ebay find. Super cute when paired with leggings.
Maxi Dresses found here and here.
Kimono Sleeve Maxi Dress & Short Tiered Dress
OK, so maybe these aren't actually found in the maternity section, but because of its empire waist and flowy style, you can totally pull this one off.

[great colour combo]
[chunky gem earrings add instant glam]
[love the ruffling]
[MUST have this puckered gingham top in this breezy blue]
[great dotty shorts]
[love this geometric pattern, retro colour combo]
Love these looks from DVF. No wonder she's a sytle ICON!!! So classic and feminine, totally wearable.
