Maternity Style Lookbook: Mixing Patterns

What I’m Wearing
J Crew Chambray Top – on sale!  The Perfect Shirt in dots is also really cute and on sale.
Forever 21 Dress – Love these kint dresses that are under $15, this grid pattern is also a great style.
Kate Spade Wedges – mine are from last year but adore these bow wedges and these ones too!
Marc Jacobs Bag – my go to cross body bag.  Love that it has wallet slots and tons of pockets built in, I never have to dig through this bag to look for anything, it’s all organized for me already!
t+j Designs Cuff and Necklace – it’s our 2 year anniversary and we’re celebrating with a free gift with $20 purchase!  Get my favorite tortoise bracelet for free!  We’ve got tons of new arrivals this week, I’m so in love with every style.

Thanks goodness for knit dresses!  I bought this dress early on in my pregnancy and it has been a go to in every trimester but especially in my third trimester when seriously nothing fits anymore.  I’m making things work like wearing my buttons downs as cardigans and staying away from anything with zippers.  I’ve been told that I’m “lucky” to be pregnant during the summer but I’ve also been told that I’m “unlucky”.  Either way I don’t think there’s a good season to be pregnant but since I typically just wear dresses during the summer it’s been an easy transition.  It’s just getting used to my gigantic belly which has been tough!

Lookbook: Bumpin’ it in shorts

 
What I’m Wearing
J Crew Sweater – on sale!  I love the little whales! 🙂  Also on sale in polka dots.
H&M Belly Band – I have to say I’m impressed with H&M’s maternity selection and that they have these belly bands in different patterns.  Got this one in a two pack with a red striped one too. 
J Crew Shorts – on sale in various colors.  Still have yet to find maternity shorts that don’t look atrocious on me, so still wearing my regular shorts despite that I have to keep them unbottoned to fit the bump.  Gotta love the invention of the belly band!
Kate Spade flats – mine are from last year but they have these updated ones with bows on them or these in a fun leopard print.
Marc Jacobs bag – there are a couple of Marc Jacobs bags that are on sale for Nordstrom Anniversary sale.  Love this clutch/crossbody and the Venetia is the perfect work bag.
t+j Designs Necklace | white bangle | gold and tortoise watch | green bangle

Lookbook: Neon Polka Dots

What I’m Wearing

Madewell Cardigan – Get an extra 40% off all sale at Madewell – ends tonight!  Lots of cute stuff like this mint polka dot tank and this peter pan collar tank on sale.

Marc Jacobs Bag – in black and a larger size.
t+j Designs Necklace | Bracelet | Watch

We took these photos right before we moved from our old neighborhood and I do miss seeing the view of the Space Needle all the time and being so close to downtown.  My husband and I are such city people and our new house is not in the suburbs (we couldn’t do that to ourselves) but we are a bit farther out from the city than we’re used to so it’s been quite the adjustment.  Don’t get me wrong, we love our new home and it would’ve been impossible to have a baby where we used to live but we certainly do miss it!

This is the 2nd of the Maternity styling collaboration that I’m doing with these gorgeous ladies, make sure to check out their outfits too!

Lookbook: Dots and Hearts

What I’m Wearing
Madewell Sweater – it’s on sale!  They also have a cute star print sweater on sale.
Zara Blouse – No longer available.  Love this dot blouse and it’s on sale and addt’l 40% off!
Rag & Bone Jeans – the corduroy version is 50% off!
Rag & Bone Booties – no longer available.  I love Rag & Bone boots, the Newbury boots and the Harrow booties are great alternatives to mine.
Marc Jacobs Cross Body Bag – you wouldn’t think this tiny bag gets as much use as it does but it really is a go to fave.  It carries just enough and since it has credit card slots I don’t need an extra wallet to lug around.  It’s gorgeous in this cobalt blue too.
t+j Designs Gem Chain bracelets – comes in 5 colors!  Also if you’ve been eyeing our pave link bracelets, they are on sale for a limited time only!  Get the gold or the red for only $74 + free shipping!
Rings: Love + Star

Patterns are my thing… I love anything with polka dots or hearts so this outfit is one of my faves!  And super comfy so an extra plus!  I’ve got so much going on with my business that life has been super crazy lately but in a good way!  I love pinning words of inspiration (you can see my entire board full of them here!) when I saw this one it made me smile so had to share. 

You can buy the print here.

Lookbook: Cozy Sweater and Heart Dress

 What I’m Wearing
Chicwish Sweater – Also comes in orange & navy.
OASAP Dress – How cute is this Peplum Heart Dress?!  I want it.
Dior pumps – They also have them in the higher platform style too.  I like the extra height 🙂 My other
Marc Jacobs Deluxe Wallet – the clutch wallet is slightly cheaper, I love the bubblegum pink. And love that this Marc Jacobs wallet comes with a chain so it’s a crossbody bag too!
t+j Designs Bracelets Gold Love Charm | Red Crystal | Gold Chain | Black and Gold Chain (new!)
Gold Double Chain Necklace (new! also in silver)

I love the big cardigans like this that you can wrap around yourself and
cozy up in.  It’s like the most acceptable way to wear a blanket out in public! I couldn’t resist wearing a dress without tights before temps dropped
too low (it’s totally too low now!) love how this is a bit summery but
also the colors work great for the fall.

New chain styles and colors in the store now! And for those of you that requested silver, we finally have them in.  Everything is priced under $34, check it out!  Plus for this week only, if you spend over $40, you get one of our Pop of Color chain bracelets for FREE! use code FREECHAIN at checkout. 

More heart print dress options…

Lookbook: Mint + Polka Dots

What I’m Wearing
J Crew Blythe Blouse – I found that Old Navy has a great, much cheaper alternative to the Blythe Blouse.  It comes in lots of colors too.
American Eagle Jeans – They also have these cute floral print jeans now.  Both are on sale now for $29.99.  Since this is a junior brand I went one size up and they fit great.
YSL Tribute pumps – I’m thinking about getting these in nude as well.  I love these pumps and although they are really tall, the platform in front just makes them much more comfy to wear.
Marc Jacobs bag – it also comes in a larger size.  I also like the newer design of this bag too.  The pink is adorable!
t+j Designs Minty Luxe Necklace – Get free shipping on your order when you purchase any of our new arrivals.  Use code: NEWNEW expires Friday 11/9

I’ve been super sick these past couple of days and can’t seem to function properly.  My head is in a complete fog.  Good thing I took these photos awhile ago as my outfits lately are definitely not blog worthy.  Haven’t been able to get much rest lately so hoping to get rested up as my anniversary is coming up on Friday and want to enjoy some time with my husband.  I hope you guys are having a good week!

Lookbook: Striped Casual

What I’m Wearing
H&M Blazer – similar at Forever 21
J Crew Boyfriend Jeans – similar
J Crew Silk Bow Cami – also in floral and solid
YSL TribToo Pumps – I love these so much, I think I’m going to get another pair in nude.
Marc Jacobs Single Quilting bag – my favorite crossbody!  The pink one is on sale!  Get the larger size here.
t+j Designs Matte Gold Luxe Crystal Bangle Set, the other bracelet is an antique.

I did an office look with this blouse last time so thought I’d dress it down for a casual look.  It’s quickly becoming that shirt that I want to wear with everything! 

And sale alert! I went back to J Crew and they had this top marked down to $29.99 + 30% off making it a whole $20.99!  And they also had these cute bright pink skinny jeans (and other colors) marked down to $59.99 + 30% off.  I got lucky I found both in my size!  (If you are buying online – I sized down for the jeans as I find J Crew jeans fit a tad bigger than other brands).  It looks like the extra 30% off hasn’t made it to the online sale yet so if you can, get to your store to see if they have your size left!
