Wearing vs styling an outfit with a bump! I feel so much better when I’m wearing something cute (dress well to feel well maybe?)… I’ve been fighting the temptation to wear comfy clothes while pregnant though! So far I have found blazers and cardigans an easy way to dress up my second trimester bump, especially as we enter fall.

Apple picking throughout the years 🍎 I can’t wait to go this year. It’s one of my favorite fall activities to do… I don’t even care that it’s usually expensive and crowded and basic, I live for it!

Fall for me means tailored blazers, touches of corduroy, and cozy sweaters… @jcrew, as always, has us covered with all the classics! Shop my head to toe look with @shop.ltk #liketkit https://liketk.it/4iOR7 #injcrew #ad

Things I love right now:
🧩 @nytimes Connections
🎃 pumpkin cream cold brews
🎒 Jack’s little red “pack pack”
💁🏻♀️ pregnancy hair
🎧 @the502s
🍂 fall new arrivals

First day of preschool for my brave boy! It’s just a little 2s Montessori program two days a week…. But that big little red backpack got me 🎒✨

When @beaconhillbooksandcafe lives up to the hype and THEN SOME 🐿️ ✨ I got a little tour of this special bookstore from the owner herself and I couldn’t be more grateful. There is something magical about any bookshop, but when one is this thoughtful it’s hard not to fall in love with reading all over again. @sisterparishdesign textiles, @farrowandball coordinating paint, bestsellers & classics commingled on curated shelves. A little squirrel mascot named Paige, with her own story and her own entrance and her own little Boston-inspired house hidden away in the bottom of a shelf. Every detail is perfect, especially those on the children’s floor, where little ones can enter through a tiny door and press a big red button to activate a model train that circles the space.

I miss my mom too! But she and my grandma are driving up tomorrow (8 hours!) to visit me at school! Moms really are the best.

I love my mama, she's the best person I know. She means the world to me, and there literally is not one other person in the world whom I cherish more than her. Our mama's are amazing!
I grew up in Tampa and now live in Northern Virginia and can completely relate. Skype, text messages, and phone conversations help, but it's just not quite the same as seeing your mom!
The feeling of missing your mom is the worst! I love your Mother's Day gift guide!

You could move back to Tampa and do all the same things you do in New York – they have Starbucks and J. Crew and Kate Spade and less people being hit by taxis. You would probably be happier and less stressed all the time.
This so struck a chord with me this morning! I went from my Mom living a few hours away and visiting on the weekends for brunches and shopping to moving abroad and now seeing her only a few times a year. We are so good about staying in touch and text every day, but I still go through periods where I miss her and wish that I could spend more actual time with her. It's so easy to see them as one among the many important people in your life, but they really have such a special role and we shouldn't forget that.
great gift ideas! i know my mom would love the l'occitane gift set. xo jillian – cornflake dreams
the most beautiful word in the world is MOTHER
