Recently Over On Insta...

Hi there!  Today's post is just a few pics that I've snapped & posted over on Instagram lately.....ya know, the usual stuff; food, flowers, ootd's, and my first bump shot ;)  I also included a few links to the items that I'm wearing in case you see something you likey.  xx

I just love spring flowers - especially tulips.

Wearing: The cutest tee shirt dress from Forever 21 {currently sold out, but click here to be added to the wait list} //  Isabel Marant sandals {available here} //  Sofia Al Asfoor Shield Bag //  Also, please excuse the super sexy maternity jeans hanging off my dresser in the background.  I picked up a few pairs from A Pea In The Pod because they were on major sale online and I knew I'd be needing them soon {although I must admit that they are so comfy I may or may not be wearing them now lol!}

Craving fruit daily!  Here with a bit of low-fat cottage cheese, and a small amount of honey.  Full post is coming soon on my daily eats recently.

I also can't get enough of this smoothie - kale, spinach, pineapple, mango, and coconut water.  SO yummy!

More spring flowers, and yes, it's definitely been shorts weather over here!  Wearing: Chanel espadrilles //  Joe's Jeans cutoffs {limited sizes available here} //  the cutest little crochet detailed top {found here}

A relaxing Friday night spent at home.....

And a little weekend baking!  I tried out this recipe for skinny banana chocolate muffins that I featured last week and they did not disappoint!

One of my best friends is visiting me right now for the week and yesterday we spent the day at this quiet little beach.  The weather has been absolutely perfect lately - 80's w/ no humidity!

I posted my first bump picture last week {at 13 weeks} and I'm now officially out of my first trimester.  Hopefully I'll get a full bumpdate up on the blog soon!  I stocked up on these affordable maxi dresses in various colors because of the flattering side ruching and may purchase more because they are SO comfortable - perfect for summer!

I've had major insomnia lately thanks to the most annoying little bird who has taken up residence in a bush outside our bedroom and is trying to attract a lova by chirping away all.damn.night {seriously he went for 17 hours straight one day last week}.  My gardener told me it's mating season right now so hopefully I can get some rest soon!  On the positive side, at least I'm up to see some seriously stunning sunrises!

To see more photos, be sure to follow along on Instagram {andy_adler}.  Thanks so much for reading! xx

Favorite Scented Candles For Spring

Lighting a brand new candle is one of life's little luxuries, and what's a better time to try out a new scented candle than the changing of the seasons?  For me, spring evokes thoughts of fresh, crisp scents; lots of citrus, subtle herbal undertones, and nothing too overpowering.  With the official start of spring being exactly 2 weeks away, I thought I would share a few of my favorite scents for the upcoming season.  See my picks below...

Shop These Candles:

One. Freshly Picked Grapefruit & Thyme {available here} //  Two.  Linnea's Lights Garden Mint {smells SO good! here} //  Three.  Linnea's Lights Persian Lime {my absolute FAVORITE burning right now! found here} //  Four.  Skeem Field Jar Amber & Tuberose {here} //  Five.  Voluspa Pink Citron  {only $16 here} 

What is your favorite scented candle?  Any recommendations for me?

 

Have a great weekend! xx
