Rachel Zoe LOVE.

Lately I've been re-watching season 3 of The Rachel Zoe Project... I have adored Rachel's personal style way before her tv show and even her book was released. Currently, I'm taking style inspo from what she wore while pregnant. I love the photos above (even though she isn't pregnant in them)... I think it's great that Rachel shows that you can look great and sexy without wearing something super short... or that reveals too much.

My Style Seems to Be Changing...

I'm not sure if it's age, pregnancy or what... but my personal style seems to be changing to more of a classic look. While my heart will always long for everything leather, studded, spiked or adorned with skulls... lately I've been craving a more polished lady-like look. Loving Olivia Palermo's look here...

A Day at Reid's

Yesterday Andrew and I took Brody to a local apple orchard to visit the petting zoo ( secretly I think I enjoyed it more than he did). While my goats are always my favorite... the Wallaby stole my heart when he wrapped his little paw around my arm as I was scratching him.

Countdown 16 Weeks...

I nearly went into panic mode when I counted the weeks until Baby Emerson's arrival. Only 16 weeks....and NOTHING is ready!!! Immediately I started looking through my pinterest folders trying to pick one inspiration photo to base the nursery on. Here's what I think I've narrowed it down to...
