Meet Teddy (See Jane’s Baby)

Having a second child is a familiar experience–it’s like déjà vu.  My pregnancy was uneventful and very similar to the one I experienced with Harry: a tired first trimester, followed by an energetic second trimester and being over it by the end of the third trimester.  I gained the same amount of weight in the […]

The Bomber Jacket (See Jane Wear)

jacket (less expensive versions here and here), top, scarf (similar), loafers (look for less here),  jeans, bag (similar here and here) When it comes to fall, I can’t resist an olive tone (case in point: this time last year).  It’s moody yet subtle and looks good with just about any neutral.  When I saw this Vince quilted bomber at […]

Postpartum Wardrobe (See Jane Wear)

No matter how good you look pre-pregnancy, having a kid changes your body.  Carrying a baby can do crazy things to your anatomy (hello linea negra and wider hips) and once you have the baby, there is no guarantee that your body will ever be the same.  Now that I’ve had two kids, I’m hoping […]

Casually Accessorized (See Jane Wear)

old sweater (similar here, here + here), jeans, shoes, backpack (also love this backpack), hat (when it gets colder, I’m getting this hat) When you’re hanging out with kids all day, there just isn’t a need for heels, silk blouses and designer bags.  However, I always want to look put together but need to be practical; luckily, […]
