Maternity Fashion

When I found out I was pregnant for the second time, I decided I did not want to look anything like I did the first time I was pregnant. I hated the maternity clothing I wore with my first son. I felt frumpy and unattractive every time I got dressed. I also decided that I did not want to spend money on a wardrobe that I was only going to use for nine months. I was able to go my entire pregnancy wearing my normal wardrobe, only buying two pairs of maternity shorts. The following is a video of some of the outfits I wore during my pregnancy. Enjoy!!

 
 
FYI: Jersey skirts, Maxi and Empire-waisted dresses are great because they stretch as you grow!!

Hola Dear Deer

     I grew up watching my parents start successful businesses. I also watched my mother make every craft and baked good under the sun. She frequently enlisted our services to help sell her products. So it was only natural for me to not only start my own business selling cakes but to also support local businesses, especially those owned by women.

 
    The first business I would like to spotlight is Hola Dear Deer. Hola Dear Deer is based in Houston, TX and is owned by two sisters, Erika Del Valle and Jessica Garcia. As the daughters of a talented tailor, the girls' childhood was surrounded by fabric and the sounds of sewing machines. After many years of admiring handmade items, they decided to keep the family tradition alive by starting their own business. Some of their creative designs include t-shirts, mini-wallets, superhero capes, hand bags, bowties, pouches and yarn spheres. Their use of up cycled and vintage materials result in unique eco-friendly products.

Fall Fashion: Scarves!!

Fall is my favorite season of the year. I absolutely love the weather.
As the leaves fall from the trees and the air begins to chill, I can't help but get excited about fall clothing: boots, coats, scarves! Have you ever loved a particular fashion look but didn't know exactly how to pull it off? Or maybe you just want to change things up. I feel the same way about scarves. I have always loved the look, but never know quite how to incorporate them into my outfit. When I do wear scarves I tend to wear them the same way, which gets boring quick.  I came across this YouTube video / tutorial that I wanted to share that shows 25 ways to wear a scarf...enjoy!!
