sweater cami + scuba leggings | fall style

sweater cami | cardigan, similar here | leggings | booties | purse

One of my favorite fall colors is this orangy, cognac, saddle color, and I love it combined with black. There's something about the look of a cami in the summertime, and I love this one that is made of sweater material, making it perfect for fall. I bought it in a size up to accomodate my baby bump, but I'll definitely still be able to wear it post bump, possibly with a little tuck in the front, or even tucked into a high-waisted skirt. 

I love these leggings (see this look here and this look here) and took a chance with them for this look, and the band was just thick enough to lay under my baby bump even though they're not maternity. They're from last season but are still available, and I've worn them a lot and they're still in good shape after multiple wears and washes. These booties were my birthday present to myself last year, and they brought them back this year which I'm so excited about because they're so much fun and they go with just about anything. I have a clutch very similar to this one that I bought several years ago, and it's gotten a lot of use and is showing some wear, so I was excited when I found the perfect replacement for it!

This week is a big one for me and the hubs because we close on our new house and will be slowly moving in the next couple weeks. I never in my life thought I'd be moving at 9 months pregnant, but I guess there's never a dull moment for the McClures! Now hopefully baby girl stays put a little longer! Thanks for reading! XO

maternity jeans | lc lauren conrad

tank top, also similar here | jeans (maternity), also love these (non-maternity) | shoes | purse | necklace, similar here | sunnies

I've been trying to soak up these last days of summer (and freedom) by getting out of the house and doing all the summer things. So yesterday the hubs and I went to the farmer's market in downtown Davenport and it was so much fun! They had roasted sweet corn (which is a must-have in Iowa!), craft beers, tons of pastries and live music. This August has been surprisingly mild in the weather department and it was nice to get out and soak up some sunshine without sweating profusely!

Let's talk denim. Since it has been somewhat cooler, I was getting nervous about what to do about jeans - I love my skinny jeans and clearly cannot currently fit into any of mine. Just the thought of sausage casing myself into a pair of skinny jeans makes me tired and out of breath, but I found these jeans from Lauren Conrad's maternity line at Kohl's and decided to give them a try - and I'm obsessed! They are stretchy, soft, SO comfortable and I love the distressed details. They fit true to the size you were pre-pregnancy and have a little stretch and a panel over the belly, and let's be honest, I'll probably still wear them post-pregnancy. I decided to keep it casual with jeans and a tank for the farmer's market - this tank top is not maternity but is still super comfy and covers the bump well. It also comes in several different colors! 

Hope you all had a great weekend! Thanks for reading! XO

embroidered maxi dress | summer style

dress (runs big - size down) | bag | earrings | sandals

Lauren Conrad just came out with a few festival inspired pieces from her line at Kohl's, and I'm obsessing over this embroidered maxi. I'm absolutely loving the silhouettes that are in for summer - long, lightweight, flowy, and capable of hiding the fact that I have not and will not be working on my summer body! There's always next year, right? 

I seriously wanted to sleep in this dress it was so comfy, and surprisingly it doesn't wrinkle as easy as it looks like it would! This bag was a splurge for me this summer - I just love the structured look of it and I want to pair it with just about everything in my closet. It will be a definite staple when I'm vacationing in Palm Springs in a couple of weeks! And I'm obsessing over these earrings from BaubleBar's Sugarfix collection at Target - they're not typically my style, but they're turning out to be very versatile and I think I'll get a lot of wear out of them! 

I hope you're enjoying your Memorial Day weekend! Be sure to check out this post here for some amazing picks from the Nordstrom Half Yearly Sale that's going on until June 4th, and this post here for some other must have summer styles! Thanks for reading! XO -

january wish list

1 // 2 // 3 // 4 // 5 // 6 // 7 // 8 // 9 // 10

You'd think that after the holidays I wouldn't be able to come up with a wish list, but it just never ends for me. Don't get me wrong, I got a lot of great things for Christmas and I absolutely do not need anything else, but that's why it's called a 'wish' list, right? In this digital age, new fun things are always popping up online and in my emails and I'm all, I NEED DIS.
