Nursery Reveal

After much planning and revising the nursery is complete for our little girl! We absolutely love it and hope you enjoy it as well :)

I photographed the nursery on my own and planned to post this AGES ago, but I couldn't quite capture it the way that our incredible photographer did when taking little Miss Margaret's newborn photos! Thank you Heather (Heather Chick Photography) you are truly incredible, we will forever cherish these photos!

Winter Wish List

Here are a few things I have my eye on to help me survive yet another New England Winter :) At least this time I will be snuggled up indoors with the Little Miss & my first baby, Clovis!

I love this hat, and how cute is that pom pom!? I may already have a similar one for the baby ;)

I have a feeling I am going to want these in every color the come in!

I've never been a big Yankee Candle person, but someone bought this for us recently and I can't stop lighting it. It smells amazing! It also comes with a less severe price tag than my usual go to Rewined Rose from West Elm!

I know I am going to get a lot of backlash for this one, but I love this wine and it is limited release so once this little one makes her arrival I am going to pour myself a glass, or maybe two! 

I would love one or maybe all of these Faux Fur blankets from Pottery Barn!

What are your wish list items for the winter?

Sales, sales, sales!

You know the saying, "if you're not making money, your spending it" - that is me this long weekend! I am off today, so I woke up late, grabbed a cup of coffee & my computer and sat down to troll all of the sales happening right now.

Here's what you need to know from women's fashion to home decor and everything in between! :)

1. J. Crew - they are having a 30% off sale on full priced items AND free shipping on all orders (use code: Weekend). Remember these two beauties from my Fashion Wish List post?!

2. Pottery Barn- they are having their Friends & Family sale, 20% off your total purchase! (Promo code: G4H7D6J1.

I love these antler napkins rings, I am thinking they would look beautiful on my Thanksgiving table!

3. Gap- they are having a 40% off sale (use code: LOVE). One of the things I love about the Gap is that you can dress the whole family from there, even the pregnant ladies! ;)

I totally NEED this for our little one! It is too cute for words!

I would likely live in this sweater for the remainder of this pregnancy! So cozy! 

4. Lord & Taylor- they are having a sale right now that's 20% off regular and sale priced items (promo code: COLUMBUS). However the Friends & Family sale is coming soon, I may have pre-ordered half of the Chanel counter (10% off beauty!) Stay tuned for my purchases! :) 

Weekend madness...

And just like that it is Monday again... the weekends seem to fly by these days as they are jam packed with so many things and so little time.

We had a busy one this weekend which we kicked off with a little dinner party at our house for a few friends. It was the first time we had hosted in months so I was super excited to plan & prep! We got a vote from the group- it was unanimously decided Southern BBQ. An old favorite for us so we were happy to oblige. I snapped a couple shots of the decor and food below with links to find most of it!

Oliver made these amazing rolls with a cinnamon sugar butter for an appetizer, they were pretty incredible! 

For the decor I went with sunflowers in the absence of wild flower availability & my favorite Anthropologie napkins. As for the cocktails- I skipped my usual themed boozy drinks for non- alcoholic as all of our female guests are pregnant. I opted for Sweet Tea & Lemonade in these awesome glass bottles from Crate & Barrel- they have a subtle nod to a Southern theme! The boys had lots of local brews & ciders to keep them hydrated all evening.

Saturday was a day of cleaning and recovering. However we did make a trip to West Elm to check out a glider I've had my eye on for the nursery. I ended up skipping the West Elm piece  which felt a little modern for me and went for my original favorite Potter Barn rocker, and found a rug as well!  It was definitely a splurge but one I feel really good about!

 I posted a photo of the chair, but you'll have to wait to see the fabric choice when the room is complete :)  

After a little afternoon nap we headed out to the Zac Brown Band concert at Fenway! We ended up heading in a little early to meet up with friends before the show. It was so great to catch up and have a real night out! These days bed by 9 pm is our routine so this was definitely a treat!

Sunday was a day for cleaning, organizing and getting ready for the week. We also starting working on cleaning out the closet in the nursery. We had been using it for odds and ends, and special occasion attire. However I have been purchasing just a "few" pieces for our little one so we need more space for her ever growing wardrobe!

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!
