When your Best Friend is Preggers

a) you lose your partner in vodka sipping crime (although I must admit my Sundays have been hangover free for quite awhile now and I kind of like it. Does that mean I'm finally growing up?!?!?)

b) you lose your mind over each and every cute little baby adornment, baby picture, baby room. All I have to say is god help this blog when I get knocked up. For now, it's just my pinterest account that's been high-jacked by mini-human inspiration

I honestly feel like every single person I know has a womb squatter as of late: co-workers, faux sisters, old friends, new friends, favorite bloggers (oh and here too). The list goes on and on and on. So in an attempt to gather my baby crazed thoughts into one post*, I thought it would be fun to showcase some of the fun bits currently offered for the littles in your life. Behold some pretty finds for the wee lasses...

and who can forget the itty bitty gentleman. Not I. And this sucker comes complete with a Wild Things Crown...

* Who the heck am I kidding? My best friend's growing a human! eeeeeeee it's going to be the cutest little thing I ever did see and I'm pretty positive there will be more than one post on this subject to follow

Jade with Envy

vibrant greens and jades, heck we'll throw teal in there too, maybe a little mint? they have captured my heart this morning and pair so nicely with moody greys. How could I possibly resist? I'm unbelievably ready for Fall by the way. I dusted off the boots last night and they are just begging to be worn for a little apple cider sipping or maybe a few crisp air-infused jaunts
