Chic Maternity Finds: Hatch Collection

Shopping for my new curves as a pregnant lady hasn't been easy.  You and I both know that I will wind up wearing something from Hatch Collection - the pieces from this understated maternity collection are meant to be worn before, during and after pregnancy... Just the sort of thing I'm looking for these days.  This mint green strapless dress would be great for a variety of outings, from the summer fundraisers to baby showers.

Great Expectations

In addition to great expectations around the Mad Men premiere tonight, the Mr. and I have some exciting news to share.  We are expecting our first baby- a boy in August!  I wanted to debut the news with a "bumpy" outfit photo, but the weather has been exceedingly uncooperative lately.  So here's a little Mad Men Yourself photo instead.

New Obsession: Bobbi Brown Creamy Lip Color

Last month, I posted about my search for a new moisturizing lipstick, and how I had discovered a good one by Laura Mercier.  Immediately upon reading that last post, my sister texted me in a frenzy.  "Return the tube now and get yourself the Bobbi Brown creamy lip color."

I wasn't about to exchange a used tube of perfectly good lipstick, so I decided to put the Bobbi Brown one on a list for another day.  Then the other day, I was running to a meeting and had not had time to refresh my lipstick.  Walking into a Sephora, I scouted the Bobbi Brown section and decided to try this miracle product per sister's rave reviews.

The texture was creamy and moisturizing without being too sticky.  Like putting butter on chapped lips really.  Because the formula is a bit sheer, you do need to layer a little to get some coverage, but I see this as being a really good spring to summer staple - for those days when you want a little more color on the lips than your average lipgloss, but want something more low maintenance than a deep tinted lipstick.

My new Holy Grail lipstick product.  Thanks, sis!  Bobbi Brown Creamy Lip Color, available at Sephora.

Wild Horses

A quick little outfit post today.

Feeling uninspired by everything in my closet and wanting something new for Spring (though the chill in New York has been unrelenting lately), I ordered this Running Horses Dress from Pixie Market.  The package was quick to arrive, and I'm pretty happy with the quality of the dress.  To be worn with leggings now and paired with bare legs and strappy sandals this summer!
