Recently Over On Insta + A Few Pics That Didn't Make The Cut

Oh Monday......I have a serious case of the Monday blahs over here.  Anyone else with me?  This weekend just went by entirely too fast!

Since I know that not all of you are on Instagram, I like to share a few of my favorite snaps with you guys about once per month and allow you to see pieces of my little life; what I'm up to, what I've been cooking, new purchases that I've scooped up, and what I've been wearing.  In addition to sharing those pics with you today, I thought I'd also post a few pics that didn't make the Insta cut.  I have so.many.pictures on my phone that never get posted {thousands of my dogs that I share with Adam}, so I thought it would be fun to show you some of those as well!  

Here we go.....






^^ 22 weeks pregnant and this belly is poppin'!!  Wearing: Isabella Oliver dress {here} //  Tai evil eye bracelet {here} //  Stila lip gloss {color apricot here} // Dining room table & chairs {because I always get asked, found here}





^^ I've been really into making these acai bowls lately.  They're so yummy and beyond easy to whip up!  I can post my recipe for you guys if you want, it's reallyyyy simple....





^^ All about that casual comfort!  Wearing: Olive green cotton pants {so comfy! found here} //  Basic gray tank {here} //  Chloé Marcie bag {here} //  Dolce Vita sandals {old, but similar here & here}





^^ Summa sandal game going strong ;)  Valentino sandals {exact ones here}





^^ Taking Lulu for a walk around Key West wearing: Billabong dress {non maternity here} //  Rag & Bone denim vest {old, similar here} //  Panama hat {found here} //  Gold leather flip flops {here, similar budget friendly version here}





^^ Because what kind of blogger would I be if I didn't snap a pic of peonies?! ;)





^^ The best part of my weekly Pilates sessions is the smoothie bar outside of my gym.  I hit it up after every session!  On my nails: Sally Hansen Insta Dry polish {color Sonic Boom} //  Sofia Al Asfoor Shield Bag {info here}





^^ Everyday essentials.  Wearing: Striped tee {I LIVE in these lately! here} //  Leggings {my fave non maternity that still work found here} //  Distressed denim button down {here} //  Vince slip ons {here, similar budget friendly version available here}





^^ Pretty pretty palms in Key West.  





^^ I've never really been a flip flop type of gal until my feet started swelling recently.  I'll definitely get decent mileage out of these Chanel beauties this summer.  #TreatYoSelf 





^^ Staying hydrated with fresh coconut water - someone warned me that it might have an, ahem, laxative effect on me, but at this point I would welcome that with open arms {another glorious pregnancy symptom!}.  Wearing: Gap tank {on sale for around $10 here} //  TopShop maternity denim shorts {available here} //  Black leather flip flops {here} //  Gucci purse {exact one here} //  Purple shades {here, color gray mirror purple}





^^ We had decided on our little girls name before we even knew what we were having - Isla.  I've just loved that name for the longest time {middle name is still tbd}.  Other names that we loved included Mila & Sienna!  Personalized bunny rocker {here}





^^ Date night with the hubs wearing: Monrow maternity dress {here, non maternity version found here} //  Gold tie up sandals {here} //  Chanel purse





.....and a few pics that didn't make the cut.





A snap from our anniversary dinner at my favorite romantic restaurant in Miami Beach, Casa Tua.





When I found out that we were having a girl, my friend Jaqx {@fitbohemianblonde} sent me the cuuuutest little moccs.  I've made some amazing friends through the blogging world :)  Moccs are from Sweet n Swag.





Thank you so much to everyone who made great suggestions on strollers.  This girl is now the proud owner of a 2015 UppaBaby Vista {in black + carbon}.  I ultimately decided on the UppaBaby rather than the Bugaboo based off of it's extended sun shade {a must for living in FL}, the huuuuge basket underneath, the ease of collapsibility without taking any components out, and also the option to turn this into a double stroller down the road.





Shopping for photo props for one of my recent recipes at Crate & Barrel and I fell in love with this tablescape.  Would be perfect for dining al fresco.





Beach scenery at our hotel in Key West.





Brunchin' at the St. Regis in Bal Harbour.





A glimpse into what rainy season in So. Florida really looks like.  Sometimes our pool will overflow in a matter of a few hours!





What I woke up to yesterday morning!  Our air conditioning broke over the weekend, so we stayed at the Acqualina {82 degrees at night + preggo was just not happening}.  I forgot how much of a luxury it is to wake up to the sound of the ocean - kinda makes me miss condo life.





Have a great week everyone!  Thanks for reading! xx

    1. Oh my goodness, yes that is so true! For me it came down to the fact that I felt that with Bugaboo, you were just paying for the name....there were just so many other pros that ultimately lead to the UppaBaby weighing out the Bugaboo.
