Cozy Sweaters for Post Baby

HAT:: Club Monaco (old, similar here) // SCARF:: Hat Attack // SWEATER:: Vince (on major sale!) // JEANS:: Citizens // SHOES:: Madewell // BAG:: Celine

Happy Friday Thursday! I actually tried to get this post up on Monday and it just did not happen. Tomorrow I have to go back to the city to see my doctor. My incision from my section just hasn't healed like it should have and I unfortunately have to get one part of it restitched (😫). So this will be my Friday post!

Dressing after you've had a baby is always tricky. Lila asked if I had another baby in my tummy the other day and I had to explain that it takes some time for a mom's tummy to go away after she has a baby. I've been living in longer cut and loose fitting sweaters (which seem to be hard to find these days..) My favorite Vince sweater from last year is on major sale right now and it's one of the most comfortable sweaters I own.  Saks Off 5th and Neiman Marcus Last Call are my favorite sites to shop Vince sweaters on sale. I wore this one all last winter and it is also on major sale with an extra $100 off with code TAKE100! I also love this Vince blouse that's on sale- perfect length and cut for dressing post baby.

Also because of my incision, I haven't been able to wear jeans. I've thrown them on for a few blog pictures (unzipped!). As a result, I've been living in leggings and sweatpants which is hard for someone who enjoys getting dressed and putting on real clothes every now and then. I decided to order these leggings (had them in black but they are M.I.A) and they are soooo comfortable and make me feel a little more put together/dressed. I ordered one size up and they are the perfect legging for post baby. Order your regular size if you haven't just had a baby!

Shopbop Fall Sale

I had another post for today but saw that there was an awesome sale over on Shopbop and wanted to share my favorites. I just added a few beautiful pieces to my cart by Ulla Johnson. Whenever Ulla Johnson stuff goes on sale, it sells out so quickly! I have this top, this top and this dress in my cart. I also love this dress.

These are my favorite sweatpants at the moment and I wish they came in other colors. They are so soft and comfortable and worked for me when I was pregnant as well. I'm a big loungewear person and pretty much always change into sweatpants the moment I get home from being out anywhere. I also tend to wear my sweats to school drop offs!

These are great sneakers for fall and winter.

Everyone needs a good cami from Cami NYC.

Can't believe this dress is on sale for $52- if you have any weddings coming up this would be so pretty!

Friday Favorites :: Misa

DRESS:: Misa (short version here) // JACKET:: Driftwood (similar here) // SUNGLASSES:: Ray-ban // BAG:: Celine // BOOTIES:: Botkier

Whenever I'm in the mood for a pretty, feminine dress, I always go to MISA. MISA has been one of my favorite brands for quite some time now and I'm never disappointed with their pieces. The style I'm wearing here sold out so quickly this year BUT it's now available for preorder. There is a size small left here but hurry because it will go quickly! This print also comes in a short style that I love. It would look amazing paired with over the knee boots or booties. And the pattern is perfect for Thanksgiving! Check out some more of my favorite MISA pieces below!

Shop With Me

DRESS:: Rebecca Minkoff // JACKET:: Vince (old) // SUNGLASSES:: Ray-Ban

I'm doing a huge roundup below on pieces I'm loving (and shopping) but I wanted to quickly answer some questions I've been getting about baby gear and what we've been loving. The first, is the Rock 'n Play. We've used this rocker for all four of our babies and whenever someone asks me what my one must have baby product is, I always say the Rock 'n Play. Ellie takes most of her naps during the day in her Rock 'n Play and sleeps in her bassinet at night. The second question I've been getting a lot is about the Spectra pump and how it compares to the Medela one I used with my other three. I cannot tell you how much more I like the Spectra pump. If you've never had any issues with the Medela pump than I would say stick with it- you probably won't notice that much of a difference. But I found the Medela settings to be uncomfortable- even the low settings. The Spectra allows you to start your session at a very low and comfortable pace and you can increase the setting little by little. It also has a timer so you can see how long you've been pumping- plus a little night light for night time sessions. 

If you have any more questions please feel free to send me an email or message on Instagram! 

On to today's roundup...

• I have basically been living in leggings and sweatshirts these days (my post baby uniform) and decided I needed to add some more sweatshirts to my rotation. Is it just me or are so many styles out right now super cropped? I stumbled upon this long style thanks to a random ad that appeared in my Instagram feed and it looks incredibly comfortable. I love that it is long enough to wear with leggings. It comes in a ton of colors and for the price you can't go wrong. This style also looks really comfortable!

• I know it's only November but my kids are REALLY excited for Christmas and want to put some decorations in their rooms this year. I LOVE these colorful bottle brush trees.  

• I shared this faux fur bomber on stories yesterday that I just got in the mail. I'm obsessed with it and sizes are running out. If it is left in your size you should order it now! It is so soft and such a nice quality for the price. I also love this sherpa coat- it will sell out quickly as well!

• These are the prettiest baby swaddles I've seen. 

• Club Monaco is having a sale on coats- I love this style and have also been looking for a longer camel coat as well. 

Bernardo Blush Coat

COAT:: Bernardo (c/o) // SWEATER:: Vince (similar here) // JEANS:: Citizens // SHOES:: Ann Taylor // SUNGLASSES:: Ray-Ban // BAG:: Chanel 

I think this has been the most beautiful fall we've had in a long time. Is it just me or are the colors so much more vivid and crisp this year? We happen to drive to school every morning when the sun is hitting the trees with the most magical light and every day I say to the kids "look at how beautiful all of the colors are guys!" and finally this morning my oldest responded back to me "MOMMMM, we know already. You say that every day!" I hope they one day appreciate the fall and all of its beauty as much as I do!

I had been looking for a blush colored coat to add to my closet for these chillier months coming up and was so happy when Bernardo sent me this beautiful faux fur blush coat. It is the epitome of warm and cozy and I love how you can remove the faux fur collar. The length is perfect and hits right below the knee for me which makes it a great outwear option for both dressing up and casual wear. Bernardo has really beautiful coats and jackets and the price points are extremely reasonable for the quality and craftsmanship of each piece. I also love this faux shearling style and this double breasted plaid coat. This faux fur style is also a favorite of mine (it was styled beautifully by my friend Stephanie) and the price is great. I'm on an outwear kick lately and would love to add a few more pieces to my winter wardrobe!

Current Obsessions

JACKET:: Anthropologie // SWEATER:: Anthropologie // BOOTS:: Botkier (on sale!) // JEANS:: J Brand // BAG:: Chanel // SUNGLASSES:: Ray-Ban

Slowly getting back into the swing of things! Life with four is so far so good! Yes, very hectic at times and of course the time I have for myself is pretty much completely gone but I wouldn't have it any other way. My biggest struggle right now is scheduling- trying to coordinate feeding times for Ellie and pickups/activities for my older kids is a bit of a challenge and quite frankly, I've just been winging it. We have been "embracing the chaos" and trying to go with the flow as much as possible.

On to today's post:: Fall is my all time favorite season to shop for. I have a bit of a boot addiction and seem to keep adding more and more pairs to my closet. These Botkier booties are the most comfortable pair I own. Booties can be tricky when you are trying to buy a pair that will work well with both jeans/pants and dresses. These ones go so well with both and they are currently on sale at Bloomingdale's during their Buy More, Save More sale. 

For today's blog post I've decided to round up all of the fall items I've been eyeing but first I wanted to let you all know a few quick things happening right now!

1. Bloomingdale's:: buy more, save more sale!

2. Shopbop:: surprise 40% off sale on tons of fall items.

3. Dudley Stephens:: They just launched their new style of fleeces and I love them! Perfect for pairing with leggings for a comfy day on the go with the kids!
