| A WOVEN OBSESSION: |

i swear the bump looks way bigger in these pics than it actually is (insert emoji laugh/cry face).  that plaid sure does a number on a blooming bump. ;-)

the woven and jeans are a recent purchase from old navy--- the jeans are maternity and i really like the fit, the top is not.  hope you are all having a good tuesday. xx

| i love siena |

we took a day trip to siena (which wasn't really planned) after a friend told us how amazing it was.  holy moly. if you are visiting tuscany, umbria or florence you must see siena.  we parked outside the walls in a public parking area and walked into the square; the first view you get of siena is simple- pure beauty.  we grabbed lunch at a local deli and sat on their balcony--more like an embellished windowsill and had a birds eye view of the square.  there was something so peaceful about sipping on a light beer and noshing away on a delicious veggie sandwich- you felt like you belonged; like in that moment you felt at home. i'm so happy we got ourselves there, it was so memorable. enjoy siena. xx

| exploring london |

happy tuesday!! london was so awesome!  it reminded me of boston which obviously makes me happy :).  on our last day there we explored hyde park, the kensington palace and just wandered the streets.  Later in the day my sis and brother-in-law got into town so we saw big ben, the buckingham palace and all the other fun sites all over again.  We've been in rome for a few days and it's been absolutely dreamy. in the meantime enjoy london! arrivederci!!

| bold leopard |

happy monday!  this weekend we were up in utah for business: i always get overwhelmed when it comes to packing for a convention- what is comfy, yet chic? what is really appropriate? how do i accessorize? etc...etc...etc... day 1 i opted for a very bold topshop leopard dress: it had a fun cut and pattern but also, it was so comfy.  i paired it with my favorite calvin klein heel and went easy on the accessories.  i can't tell you how many compliments i got: although it was a bit loud, it was fun, comfortable and still read as young business casual look.  hope you all had a great weekend!

| pretty in pink + balloons |

On monday i continued my spring trend favs with all things pink.  this vince dress has such an amazing silhouette- it' so timeless and makes me feel so feminine...and really, how perfect is it for the big 28? This is a great dress for a wedding or function, it could even be paired with a flat sandal to dress it down a bit.

| spring trend: matching sets |

happy thursday! i talked about my obsession with matching sets for spring on monday: this trend is so fun and daring. I paired the j crew flower patch peasant top and 3" chinos with hot pink accessories to make it even more fun!  Both of the flower patch pieces are going to be amazing by themselves but together they are too right for Spring.  Are you guys feeling the matching set trend for spring?!
