Feminine, Gift Guide, Outfit Of the Day

4 February 2018

Valentine’s Day Style Inspo + Shop Local

With Valentines Day just over a week away, I wanted to share some Valentine’s day Style Inspo as well as a local shopping guide that includes some local designers as well as finds from one of Portland’s Best Boutiques, Shop Adorn. Scroll down to shop my look as well as the Under $50 Gift Guide.

Shop my Gigot Sleeve Top HERE. And use code LAVENDA20 for 20% off at checkout. My red skirt is a thrift find from the OC Goodwill and the coat is last season TopShop. I’ve linked up similar options here:

Felt a little saucy in this dress, so I had to do Felt a little saucy in this dress, so I had to do a little dance. 🎶💃🏻 #RevolveU #7MonthsPregnant

This is cut so beautifully, that it will fit at any point of your pregnancy, even pre and post! I love the huge, puffy sleeves and flirty hemline. Just have to get a better bra option, since the ones I have don’t quite give me the coverage I want for the low-V. 🙈 #LukeAndLavenda

The sun was a gorgeous red this entire shoot, (from smoke blowing in I believe). 😰 But even still, it made for a lovely sunset.

This girlie turns 11 next week and I just can’t This girlie turns 11 next week and I just can’t believe how quickly it continues to go by!

While we don’t ever “get it right” as parents, I’ve been pretty blessed to see Ella’s knowledge and love for God continue to grow over the last few years, which gives me the greatest confidence in her future being a bright one! Who’s a better influence, am I right?

Growing up, I didn’t have a mom who consistently loved and cared for me, so it wasn’t modeled for me in those early years. As I grew up, I was blessed to get a peak into other homes and spend time with other family members who modeled a healthier dynamic of parent to child for me, but because of my childhood I’ve often lacked the confidence that my instincts are on track with Ella. Now that I have three girls and a fourth kiddo on the way, I am relieved to see that A: Ella is doing alright so far. And B: God offers age-old wisdom in the Bible for those of seeking parenting  advice.

Be kind, gentle and patient. Teach and stand up for the truth. 

Anyhow, just taking a pause to reflect on where I’ve been and where we are today. It’s easy to get overwhelmed and retreat into reactionary mode with our kids. I know I have during this “new normal”. But slowing down, cutting back and taking the time to reflect on our goals can be SO healing and refreshing. Thankful for Luke, who lovingly shares the load so that I’m not alone in it... 

I hope you all have a great week, despite the hustle. Lots of love from one mama to another. 😉

Almost 7 months along and Luke’s hair is growing right alongside this #BabyBump. He keeps getting “you look like Auqua Man” which I don’t quite see. What about you? 🤪  #LukeAndLavenda

Anyhow, thanks SO much @baileavesphotography for capturing this gorgeous shot! My dress is fully in stock and I linked up the hat too! More photos from this shoot coming soon. http://liketk.it/2Ym5f #liketkit @liketoknow.it #ltkmaternity

TOP HACK for shopping non-maternity dresses during TOP HACK for shopping non-maternity dresses during your pregnancy?

Look for smocked dresses and/or tops for a super flexible waistline. I prefer them to be cut a-line or babydoll so that it accentuates my baby bump. This dress was a super cute date-night find that I’ll layer up with boots all Fall.

Anyone else pulling out their tall boots already? Shop the look here: http://liketk.it/2YiyL #liketkit @liketoknow.it #ltkmaternity

Snagged this dress for $12 without trying it on! E Snagged this dress for $12 without trying it on! Ended up fitting quite nice for our date night last week!

One piece of advice I received years and years ago, was “marriage will always take intention and work, so make time for it.” Thus, a weekly date night. ☺️

Okay, so it’s finally beginning to look and feel Okay, so it’s finally beginning to look and feel like FALL 🍂 around here. I’m both excited and absolutely dreading this season. (More on that in a sec.) first thing’s first: can we talk about how gooooood these overalls for mama-to-be’s?

Linked up this exact pair, though I recommend sizing up, or selecting the pair I found on ASOS if you’re already quite prominent or in your third trimester. (The fit on these is quite small.)

Also found these @stellamcartney sneakers for 30% off which is a steal on this designer splurge. 

Now, back to reality: Can we please talk about how the “new normal” relies on millions of mamas (and papas too) to choose between their career and caring for their kids? After failing my first quiz of the term, (I waited till the last day to turn it in, which was the first full day I had without kiddos, only to discover the hours of reading, study and notes were in vain. It had been due to DAY PREVIOUS 😱) I’m finding myself considering the possibility that I can’t “do it all” right now. Between the girls virtual school schedule, my college schedule and my beloved blog, (not to mention the daily challenges of an active pregnancy) I’m finding myself stretched too thin to succeed at ANY OF THEM. Trust me, Luke is in the same boat. He has to help with our littlest ones, while maintaining a full time job as well.

I mean, how’s everyone doing? What kind of cut-backs and compromises are parents making out there? Delegation is great, if you have the resources, but I know not everyone can afford tutors and private sitters in a world that has CANCELED affordable childcare.

Asking for a friend. 🙄

Best part? I can eat a whole steak dinner by myself now ( Sorry Luke 🤪)!!

Trying to stay toned with a few weight workouts each week, but missing the gym to be honest. We’ll see how much weight I end up gaining by the end. Any guesses?
