Rodarte for Opening Ceremony’s fall collection Christmas tree dress. Anyone else see it too?
And for the record, I am a fan of Opening Ceremony. I just had to share this.

I’ve really been into comfort lately (I wonder why?). I think cute and casual knitted pants are a great way to get comfort while still looking polished enough to leave the house. That is, of course, if you pair them appropriately. Here are some of my favorites.
And on a completely unrelated and heartbreaking note (sorry to bring it down on a Monday), The Taylor family lost their baby girl Ruby Jane (pictured below) on Thursday night after months of fighting with liver failure. My heart goes out to the family. Due to numerous hospital visits the Taylors are facing many medical bills. Bows for Ruby Jane was started as a way to help fundraise. Please consider buying one of these adorable hairbows. I just made my purchase for Lilly.

Today marks the 20th week of our pregnancy, woohoo! Feels good to be halfway there. Overall, I’m feeling well and shouldn’t complain about a thing considering how some pregnancies are hit with 40 weeks of nausea. But I did think it would be fun to do a little post commemorating the day. So here are some things that popped to mind when I thought of my pregnancy this go around.
*Me at 20 weeks, in a blue APL dress for my little boy! (I don’t think my belly looks very big here. Some days it looks bigger, funny how that is.)
*Callies Biscuits – Major weakness for what I call the most amazing little biscuits you’ll ever have. So many flavors. Made here in Charleston, & they ship!
*Tane Organics – Loving this line of luxurious children’s clothes.
*Tucker dress – Bump friendly, I have my eye on you!
*The Help – I just finished this fabulous book.
It’s been great for all the laying around I’ve been doing.
*Brigatta nightstand – I think this could be perfect tucked in the nursery.

Holy Moley. Did you all get a peek at Society Social’s long awaited Manifesto Magalog yesterday? I was gobsmacked right in the face wanting and needing everything in Roxy’s oh so covetable line. And as she put it, “At the Social, we believe that it’s better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring, which means we also believe that regular ol’ catalogs are so LY”. And set up like our favorite online mags, it is pretty much brilliant.

Now, take a look at these bar carts…. I can hear the gasps already.
The finishes and color choices are plentiful- yay! And if you’re like me you may have been thinking that you didn’t really need a barcart. Well we do now, ladies. Every last one of us.
{Yes, that is snakeskin! I know I know, gorgeous.}
And the magalog is full of fun things like recipes and party item roundups… I was even invited to join in on the fun as well.
{We all agree that I must have that pink and red chair right?
I mean, it does match my blog and all…}
And take a gander at these gorgeous chairs…
I hate to break it, but we’ll all have to wait to place our orders until next week for the full site to launch.
So for now, get your butts over to Society Social to (a.) check it out and (b.) sign up for the mailing list.

Today Banana Republic’s Mad Men Collection hits stores. The capsule collection was co-designed by Mad Men’s award winning costume designer Janie Bryant and was inspired by the 60’s costumes the cast wears on the show. There are definitely some pieces here that I like. What do you think?
Not surprising, I love the men’s collection too.
I had the pleasure of meeting Janie Bryant in March when she was a guest judge for Charleston Fashion Week. Lovely woman on the inside and out. Congrats on a beautiful collection, Janie. I’d love to see what you might have up your sleeve for that clothing line you’ve been considering…
