Warming up...Obsessions.

Okay Ladies- now that its mid-may I am reallyyyy starting to look forward to summer clothes. Especially with a growing bump- I see summer dresses and cotton shorts being much more comfortable.

I just thought I would take a quick moment to share some of my current obsessions with you:

Tall Gladiator Sandals- I have tried to get over this trend and convince myself that they were too funky- but I still want them-maybe even need them?? Go ahead and judge me ;)

I think that Kourtney Kardashian wore this style mutliple times perfectly. You may hate the Kardashians but you can't hate Kourtney- her style and healthy eating are too good to hate. (not to mention she is an adorable mom)

Cotton Shorts- these are suppperrr comfy and soo on trend. You can find them almost anywhere- but there is a local store in Monroe (Sofi Stella) that carries them. I need my get my booty over there asap and grab some. Who doesnt want to look trendy and simultaneously feel like they are wearing pj shorts?!?

I am purchasing this ASAP. I used my sister's once (shush dont tell ;)) lol and i LOVED it. It really does work amazingly well. You would think she wears lashes- but its just this stuff.

 

 

 

My last item is from LUSH. I gained a new-found love for that store during my Chicago trip to visit a friend. They have amazing products- you must check them out-

 

 

 

Black Stockings- its a body tint thats all natural- and I am a real fan of the scent. It is a must have for those pasty spring legs ladies ;)

Hope you all liked my obsessions for the upcoming season. I'm sure I will have more to add to this list soon.

 

 

Have a fabulous weekend ladies-

Spring-Home-Wifey Things

I am so relieved that it is finally spring here in Michigan. The weather has been great- and only getting better- which means more weekends outside, grilling out a TON, and freshening up the house a bit.

This spring already has brought some changes into the Gilbert household. Not only are we expecting a little one after this upcoming warm-weather season- but we are moving out of our little west-side home. I had kind of giving up on the idea of moving and started to be okay with it and then we got the offer we were looking for on our house- so if all goes according to plan we will be moving mid-summer. All the details still have to be sorted out and this is a very fresh development- but I am excited for the change- and excited to see what God has in store for our little family!

Now that I know it is VERY possible that we really will be moving I am looking at some fun decorating ideas and thought I would share some of what I have been finding....

I want a simple. functional. and -dare I say- decorated home. It doesnt have to be expensive- actually I dont want to spend much at all, but I want a warm looking/feeling home.

Here are some Inspirations for my next place:
SIGNAGE:

I have been obsessed with these signs for a minute. and I am set on doing a project like this on my maternity leave. Don't hold me to it- I may end up caving and buying one- but I know I would love a handmade touch like this in my kitchen.


ORGANIZATION:

I have lovely woven baskets from my bridal shower that just sit on my floor in my living room. I need to use them like this to optimize my storage. I love this look and its functional.


SMARTER:

I have a black haired dog. In my next home I vow to buy darker rugs and darker bedspreads. Because Rex will find it and dirty it. My Point being- I am choosing my pet-friendly and children-friendly decorations for my next home.

BABY BOY:

(www.projectnursery.com)

I am looking for ideas for the little man's room. I am excited to mix Jake's preferences and mine to come up with a great space for our baby boy! He loves Rustic and I love a good old classic room- but we will make it look fab I'm sure!

I hope you enjoyed looking at a couple things that will Strongly inspire my new home!

On a side note-
Wifey things: As I am realizing that the quality alone time I get with my sweetie will be cut down drastically after the baby we are working on spending that time now as much as possible! I am so grateful for these times. and treasuring every.single.minute. and reminding myself when I'm not- that I need to!
I am a blessed woman and grateful for my man :)
