Well here I am!!! Nine months pregnant, anxiously waiting for this babe to arrive. I can't begin to explain to you how crazy the last month of pregnancy is. First of all, it totally drags! You start to panic!!! I NEED THIS BABY OUT NOW! So then you google... castor oil, sex, bouncing balls, walking, squats, running (if you can manage), stripping membranes, begging doc for induction... anything to make you feel less of a Humpty Dumpty, especially when you need to be pulled off the couch and pushed out of bed or a car.What I wore: Jumpsuit: Séraphine similar HERE and cool 70's version HERE // Eye Clutch: SHEin similar HERE and adorable back pack versions HERE and HERE // Pumps: MIU MIU similar and a style steal HERE // Sunnies: Chloé similar style steal options HERE, HERE and HERE // Cuff: Hermés similar style steal version HERE // Earrings: Forever21
Read MoreAs I'm gearing closer to the birth of my third child, my anxiety levels are at an all-time high! It's crazy! You'd think that doing this for the third time would be a breeze, but somehow knowing exactly what a child means and what this transition does to a family, makes it all that much harder to process. The unknown of the delivery, the baby's ultimate health and bringing a newborn home with all the ups and downs and the sleepless nights, all while trying to balance my other babes, career, home life and friendships is a bit of a mind f*ck if you ask me!
So I decided I needed a "ME" moment and some time to unwind and beautify! I know that there won't be much time for sleep, beauty, or really "ME" time the first few months. The whole notion of you sleep when baby sleeps doesn't really apply to mothers of multiple kids with an entrepreneurial type of job. So I'm being realistic all while getting facials, spray tans (I'm obsessed with my girl DEENA who comes to your house), manis, pedis and lash extensions!

Read MoreHappy sunny Wednesday everyone!!! So I wanted to chat about wearing jeans while preggo. I actually only bought one pair of maternity jeans this pregnancy from TARGET. They have some awesome inexpensive options. I also did a little trick and wore my jeans throughout. I'm currently nine months preggo and these baggy boyfriend jeans (which are much tighter then usual now) still fit with the help of a little rubber band trick and a longer tee to cover it all up!
See below....

Gauchos, culottes, wide leg high waters, whatever you call them! I cracked, bought myself a few pairs at Banana Republic and ASOS and I haven't looked back since.
A little history lesson first. Gauchos are South American cowboys that rocked these pants. Since I love cowboys, I figured I'd love the pants as well!

Read MoreSo excited about today's post! I've been dying to try airbrush make-up. If you follow me on Instagram, then you know my favorite #BerkunBeauty finds! This one is definitely one I'm obsessed with.
Years ago I had my make-up airbrushed professionally, (side note, I can't stand to have my make-up done and almost always do it myself and if I don't, I sneak in the bathroom and do my own tweaks...control freak problems!).
I did love the way my skin looked dewy, and not at all cakey. You could actually see my skin without any blotchiness or redness.

Read MoreWell hello 2016! It's crazy to think that 2015 just flew right by and I'm excited and anxious to see what this year has in store. This is "my year"! I was born in the year of the Monkey and I hope that this year is filled with health, happiness, hope and love... oh and a healthy little bébé!
This post isn't about New Years however, it's about not losing myself during this pregnancy. Everyone always talks about pregnant women and comfort, well, screw that. I wasn't always comfortable while I'm not incubating a human, why do I have to change now?!
What I wore: Dress: Jay Godfrey similar and a style steal HERE also great options HERE and HERE // Jacket: 90's Vintage Versace similar HERE, HERE and HERE // Earrings: Forever21 other great options HERE // Boots: Tom Ford (sold out) similar and style steal options HERE and nude version HERE // Lips: YSL // Sunnies: YesStyle // Bag: Chanel
Read MoreOne of my favorite times of the year is now!!! We've actually had a super crazy warm front in Chicago... obviously El Niño in full swing! However every year around this time most of us, especially peeps that live in cold climates, plan vacations, trips, escapes, and for me this year baby moons!
So today's post will be all about my favorite, swim and resort wear. This is part one of my Miami getaway, I'll have part two and all my outfit details along with shopping guides in the next post. So for now, sit back, relax, and read all about Wala Swim my favorite in all beach/resort wear!

Read MoreOne thing's for certain... this growing belly is getting harder and harder to dress. My previous two pregnancies I was getting larger in the summer and therefore my wardrobe consisted of jersey fabric maxi dresses, bandage skirts and tees. Now I'm preggo in a completely different season, mind you, I live in Chicago and therefore getting bigger as the weather gets colder has proven to be a bit more difficult.
However, I'm up for the challenge and as I've previously stated, I don't believe in wearing majority maternity wear. I mean who wants to spend all that money on six months of your life?! I say six because technically you don't start showing till month three. My goal is to only buy pieces that will transition with my body and that I can still wear post the bump.
So this is where the cape comes in!

Read MoreLast week was one of those super insane weeks with shoots, styling gigs and a ton of events! It's been getting a bit harder with this pregnancy to be on my feet all day, (I wear heels to work a lot and may be on my feet anywhere from 10 to 12 hours), then heading over to work parties/events...it's been a bit wacky for one human making lady to handle!
However there was one celebration I simply couldn't miss. I've been so excited for the Elina Casell by Mia Bossi handbag line collab. Ok so I'm a bit biased...part of my so called 'Girl Squad' is the creator of Mia Bossi, Janet Mandel. So of course I wanted to support her, even if it meant wobbling my preggo ass to her Blackhawks (yes you'll love this sports fans) Star-Studded Event!

Read MoreThe crazy thing about blogging, besides constantly being sorta in the public eye via social media and such; is that it actually is a bit like my personal diary. It's nice to sometimes look back and see where I was just a few short years ago when I started documenting my outfits and talking fashion news. Here and there I always sprinkle bits and pieces of my personal life as this is after all MY LIFE!
So perhaps the biggest news of all is.... that YES this IS a baby bump and NO I'm not just sporting a new beer belly!
