Say goodbye to high heels...

Being 7.5 months pregnant, I think it is finally time to say goodbye to my high heels--something I never thought I'd say. I have put fashion before comfort the entire pregnancy (to a certain degree) but I think it is finally time to hang up the heels and switch to flats perpetually. I have always felt short and dumpy in flat shoes, and I can't say that having about 20 pounds attached to my stomach makes the feeling any better....But, at some point one must give in...I guess. I still have no problem wearing my cowboy boots or wedge heels, but today I tried for these pointy dress shoes with a skinny heel and only made it as far as my classroom door before realizing if I didn't take them off soon I might go into early labor. Not to be dramatic, but teetering on 2 inch heels when one is built like Humpty-dumpty is not a good idea. The extreme amount of concentration and pressure put on my legs is enough to make me feel like my water is about to break. 

It's a good thing I brought these along. They may be falling apart and look like bedroom slippers, but at least they'll keep me from bed rest...let's hope!

The Black Dog

We have always had a soft spot for this breed, especially after rescuing our first dog, and ten-year-old black labrador retriever, Shiner, a few years ago. We currently have Henry, an almost one-year-old black lab puppy, and can't imagine any other pet. I love collecting black lab items and have artwork, a wine-stopper, and a rug among other trinkets. I don't see why we can't include him in some of our baby gear as well? These items from The Black Dog are now on my wish list!!

Get Your Fringe On

So "super cute junior" from last year's entries is now a senior and we still love swapping fashion finds. These are some boots she got at T.J. Maxx this season. I remember admiring them at the store, but worrying I couldn't pull them off. I think she got it right and now I wish I had them, too!

Janie and Jack

Now that I'm a mom-to-be I get pretty excited about finding adorable children clothing stores. While "Janie and Jack" has probably been a staple in kid's fashion for years, I just heard about it for the first time last weekend while visiting Annapolis. I visited their site and the polka dot and plaid couldn't get any cuter. Yes, it's expensive, but it can't hurt to look. Here are a few things I'm admiring from a far:

Tiered Pintucked Silk Dress

Personalized Bloomers and Bib

Vintage Floral Silk Tulle Dress

Plaid Silk Bubble Dress
