Finding Balance in Being a Mom

 It’s official, I have a toddler. I always knew that becoming a mother would change my life, but I never imagined this. People will tell you that you’re never ready to become a mom, but those same people will also tell you that the moment you become a mother you realize what true unconditional love is. I now understand why. Being a mother is challenging, but it is the best experience ever.

Baby Pink Romper

It is July, which means the summer heat is in full effect. I have always been a fan of rompers since I do not have to waist time trying to pair tops and bottoms. Rompers really are a one stop shop and I love that. 

This particular romper is light pink. I has a cinched elastic waist, as well as a bow tie feature in the front. It was a no brainer that I had to purchase thus piece. It is comfortable, lightweight and super chic. 

If you had to choose, would you do away with dresses or rompers?

Cargo Pant Style

Cargo pants are definitely a favorite of mine at the moment. They are so versatile. They can be dressed up with a pair of heels or dressed down with a pair of sneakers. Of course, I decided to go with the heels. I am becoming more obsessed with cargo pants, as they are very comfy, breathable and the extra pockets are amazing. If you haven't noticed by now, I love pockets.

I paired these pants with a white button down shirt, that I tied up in the front. While I love waist belts, I figured I would pair this with a purse belt, since this one is my current fave. Of course the hat was a no brainer, as the sun was very disrespectful on this day.

What are your favorite kind of pant at the moment?

One Sassy Momma

Hello everyone! I am 4 months into mom life, and it has been such an amazing journey. After having my son I did not feel like myself some days. I wanted to look nice when I left the house, but form fitting clothes made me feel uncomfortable in my own skin. I've always been a fan of babydoll dresses, and Lord knows I am so happy that they exist. This dress is casual, cute and most importantly it has pockets.

This baby blue babydoll dress was purchased from Zara. I love silver, so I had to pair it with my silver heels. Being a mom is a great responsibility, but we owe it to ourselves to feel like "us" again. This is truly a journey I am looking forward to.

Have an amazing day!

The cariPRO Life

Have you ever felt like although you have great oral hygiene that it could be so much better? Well, let me be the first to tell you that if you do not have the cariPRO you are correct! Most dentist advise that electronic toothbrushes clean your teeth better than manual toothbrushes, however there are many people that are still using manual toothbrushes for various reasons. I was one of those people. I tried an electronic toothbrush in the past, but I was not a fan at all. It cleaned great, but it was so rough on my teeth and gums. The cariPRO addressed those issues with added features, that I feel were perfect for me. I bet you are wondering how, and I am going to tell you. 

“Go-Go” Friday

Hello Friday! Today’s look doesn’t need to be explained at all. I had no clue this outfit would turn out to look like this, but once I put on my earrings I was in a “go-go” spirit. This peanut butter color with white polka dots made me only see accents of gold. Now please, go enjoy your weekend! 

Just Peachy

I love wearing the color peach, especially in the summer. I’m not sure if it’s because I am a “Georgia Peach” or because of the way it looks on my skin. Either way, peach is a winner in my books. When I found this jumper I wasn’t sure it would fit, but the bandeau style top and wide legs made this a winner. This was perfect for a lunch date. When I left the house I knew the day would be just peachy. #BumpApprovedSass

Green Light

A good maxi dress will make your days easier, but a great maxi dress will make your days amazing! I found this beautiful dress during one of my many Target runs and I had to get it. Yes, I said Target! The emerald green color was a breath of fresh air. When I decided to wear it I knew I wanted to pair it with this striped belt. Not my normal pairing, but I love the two together. Nothing else matters when you are breezing through the day, knowing you have on an amazing maxi dress. #BumpApprovedSass

Ruffle Me Pink!

Shopping is very different when you’re pregnant. I knew I wanted to be cute and comfortable, but this hot Florida heat makes it kind of hard sometimes. Dresses are the answer to my prayers these days. Just 1 layer of fabric and cute shoes is all I need. This was a great find! It has just enough fabric to cover the bump and still be a cute mini dress. The off the shoulder design with adjustable straps made it easy to modify so that I am comfortable. I’m on a mission to slay the bump until it becomes unruly! #BumpApprovedSass

Striped Overalls

I knew when I purchased these overalls that I had limited time to wear them since this is not stretchy fabric. And on top of that the zipper has no give of course. However, I knew I would love it once I put it on. This did not let me down. I chose to wear a white off the shoulder top so I didn’t take away from the bows on the straps. This is definitely not your ordinary maternity outfit, but I had to wear it before my baby bump gets too big to zip this up. Enjoy the rest of your week! #BumpApprovedSass

Baby Doll & Bows

Good morning beauties! This is a short post, but I love a good babydoll dress so I wanted to share it. This bow at the neckline made it an easier decision. Just so happen my bump loves it as well. This dress is a very faint pink color, which went perfectly with my favorite silver accessories. Have a great day everyone! #BumpApprovedSass

Cutout Shoulders and Baby Blue

This post is special to me.Today I will let everyone in on my little blessing. Yes, I’m pregnant! Yes, I’m slaying! No, I am not your average pregnant woman! Although it took awhile for me to start showing, I was determined that when I did I would still be sassy (for as long as possible). I found this really cute blue and cream romper at Zara. The shoulders are cutout and have a ruffle detail. What I loved most about this romper was the wide leg shorts. It is flowy like a dress, but it gave me a sense of security knowing if the wind blew I was fine. Here comes baby! #BumpApprovedSass

Cropped High Waist Pants Are a Casual Jackpot

There is nothing wrong with dressing up, but it’s always okay to have a casual moment. You can totally dominate a casual outfit that’s still perfect for a weekend or to go to brunch. An outfit you can put on loafers with during the day, and then change to a pair of heels for dinner. Never underestimate a cute pair of cropped pants, they can be a staple piece in your wardrobe with limited effort. Can you pull off this casual sass?

White Striped Shirt Dress

Stripes are a classic pattern, and black & white are a classic combination. With that being said This dress is a classic. I’m always intrigued by a cute button up shirt to wear with my shorts or anything else I can pair it with. In this case I won in every aspect. I got a button up striped dress, which means I only have to ponder on picking a shoe to wear and not finding a bottom to wear with it.  Of course I put on a black shoe to wear with my “classic” find, and a waist belt to add a bit of sass. How do you feel about button up dresses?

Trench Vest

Here comes spring! Although I am enjoying winter, I am ready for Spring. I saw this trench inspired dress and knew it was meant to be in my closet. I’ve always loved trench coats, but I rarely get to wear them. This was a no brainer for me. I couldn’t wait to put this on with my heel of choice, and on this day I chose this clear and black pair to finish this look. Come on spring sass!

Embellished Faux Leather Skirt

Like most women I LOVE over the knee boots. The only issue is I only get a few days out of the year to wear them. So when I woke up and realized today was one of those days I knew it was going to be a mini skirt kind of day. After browsing through my skirts I chose this embellished faux-leather mini. While I knew I had to brighten this look up since it was a day time look I went with this lime sweater. I wouldn’t have been as sassy without this pop of color.

Velvet Wine Flare Pants

My Florida winter is crop top worthy as you see. The weather was just right to pull off this look, and I went for it. These high waisted velvet flare pants are everything! I’m not sure who decided to bring velvet back, but I am thankful. They are comfortable, warm, and in style. I had to wear a crop top to give all glory to the pants, and of course the biker jacket is a must. I put on a cute hat and slayed the day. Sass has never been so chic!

Mauve Faux Suede Overall Dress

I love winter, however Florida does not always have winter weather. So when we have cool weather, I love to take advantage of it. I found this mauve faux-suede overall dress and fell in love. I had recently purchased these lace-up lug boots and I knew this dress would go perfectly with them. To complete this look I put on a black 3/4 sleeve button up shirt, opaque black tights, and a black beret. Casually sassy!

DIY Diaper Wreath

Have you ever been to a "Diaper Drop"? Neither had I, but when a friend decided she would throw one for our mutual friend (and her hubby) I was excited to partake in the festivities. So the whole event involves you bringing diapers instead of gifts like a normal baby shower. When I originally heard diaper drop I was thinking of all the pretty ways I could wrap a box of diapers with big bows and ribbon, however what you probably do not know about me is that my creative mind tends to run wild. This gave me the perfect excuse to craft something, that was more personable than beautifully wrapped diapers and so I did. I considered making a diaper cake, but those have become more common. I considered a diaper basket, but I thought that was too simple. So I ended up making a diaper wreath that resembles a dream catcher. To be honest, this project is a tad bit time consuming, but it was totally worth it.

To complete this DIY you will need the following: 

- Wire wreath frame

- Diapers (I used a size 1)

- Artificial flowers (I used two different colors)

- Curling ribbon (I used white so it would blend with the diapers)

- Rubber bands (I used clear to blend with the diapers)

- Thread (I used crochet thread)

- Your choice of decorative ribbon (I chose 4 different colors)

Since this was my first time making a diaper wreath I did not record the entire process, but I do have a few pictures. This DIY was just too cute to not share it. Here is my Dream Catcher Diaper Wreath!

Black strapless Sequin Mini Dress

A lot of women bring in the new year at 12:00 AM in a sparkly and super eye catching outfit, but why not continue that on the actual 1st day of the year. Dressing up   is fun, and I’m sure you can find somewhere to get dressed up and go. Try dinner with your other half, drinks with your friends, or find a party or event to start your new year off with a bang. For this look I chose to do a black strapless sequin mini dress. To continue the sparkly look I wore my favorite silver heels, chandelier earrings, and clutch. Have a sassy new year!
