Weekend Notes | Hello, October.
Another week has come and went and now we're in October. Not sure how that happened, but every year seems to be going quicker than the last. I spent a large chunk of the week working at my laptop on very detailed posts like a 'beginners guide to a great skincare routine,' and a few others, some of which I'll be posting next week.
On another note, I'm due in about a month and the procrastinator in me is finally in a decent place as far as 'baby prep' goes. Not that we need that much, but little things here and there. We're also currently in the middle of redecorating Nate's room since eventually, it will be shared. We have a few older closets in that room that needed to be updated, so I'm definitely excited for a few necessary changes.
Anyhoo, below are links from the week: new winter boots I recently got, a favorite recipe that I revisited and a new show that we just started watching:
READ MOREOne Dress | Two Ways
I ordered this (non-maternity) dress a few weeks ago in hopes that it would be a versatile piece to get me through the last two months of pregnancy. Since then, I've worn it several ways, including with casual sneakers and my new Paris Texas boots.

It's my birthday weekend (Saturday, the 28th - Libra season! ) and what I'm most looking forward to, is spending some time with close friends and family. I have a few dinners planned and if timing works out, we may even go and see Hustlers. I haven't been to the movies in ages, so hoping that ends up happening.

READ MOREMeghan Donovan’s Perfect Day In NYC
For today’s installment of ‘My Perfect Day in NYC,’ I’m so excited to have Meghan from the Wit & Whimsy. I met Meghan, who now resides in Brooklyn Heights, years ago, when Instagram wasn't even a thing and we solely just focused on our blogs! Till this day, Wit & Whimsy is one of the best blogs out there offering everything from detailed guides to Paris to diving into conversations like acupuncture and a wide variety of really honest and beautifully written, personal posts (like being single in your 30's and dealing with insecurities as a blogger).

The above photo was taken the night of the Save the Children's gala that I attended as a guest of Johnson & Johnson. I had such a hard time finding a dress that worked with my 7 month pregnant bump, but eventually, found one that I liked.

This weekend is a packed one. Tomorrow, I'm celebrating a friends big milestone birthday (40!) while Keith is taking Nate to a 5 year old birthday party. On Sunday, we're heading out to New Jersey to visit our friends and their newborn baby. Keith had off this past Thursday and Friday (today) so we're taking advantage of some solo time while Nate is at school. Yesterday, we went shopping, had a leisurely lunch and just enjoyed each others company before the baby arrives and things get crazy. Today, we're purging around the house and trying to get stuff cleaned as nesting mode has officially began.
As always, continue reading for some great links from the week!
