Love Grows | Outfit Post Featuring Pink Blush Maternity

Not long now before the newest addition to our little band of traveling adventurers makes her way into this world. It's been an eventful year full of exciting journeys to lands unknown and I've enjoyed bringing you new content featuring my favorite destinations, travel tips, and style advice. You can look forward to more great discoveries in the near future, but right now it's time to pause and celebrate new life. Thank you for being a part of our journey and following me on this great adventure we call life. I wanted to share this special moment we had as a family recently capturing this precious time in our lives. Here's a peek inside our recent family maternity shoot featuring this cute maternity top from Pink Blush Maternity, and a glimpse of our nursery.

Love Grows

Home is where the heart is

We didn't know if we were going to have any more kids. Our first experience was a bit of a roller coaster. You can read a little about some of the trials we went through having our first daughter Sienna here. After much careful thought and lots of prayer we determined our family wouldn't be complete without one more child. We were excited to learn last December that we were expecting again and I'm so blessed to report the pregnancy has been stellar and extremely positive. Parenting is one of the most challenging paths to walk in life, but also one of the most fulfilling. I wouldn't be who I am today if I hadn't become a mom. It's made me stronger, wiser, and more assertive. In fact, I'm not sure if I would have had the boldness to launch my TV show and this brand if I hadn't been tested in the fires of motherhood. I read one blogger call becoming a parent for a second time a "promotion" and I like to identify with that. Sometimes the thought of adding to our plate feels overwhelming, but I realize the truth is that I will now become a steward to another precious jewel. It won't always be fun, or easy, but nothing could be of more value than speaking into the life of a human soul and watching them grow.

Styling the Shoot

For our maternity shoot I wanted something very intimate in our home. I love light, and I love our beachy casual home. Of all the places we travel, home is truly where the heart is, so what better place to capture this moment. I kept my maternity style simple so all the focus was on our relationship together. I love this grey maternity top from Pink Blush Maternity because it hugs all the right curves, but also features a little crochet detail in the sleeves that adds a sweet feminine touch.

It's all about that belly

The fabric is super soft, but also stretchy, freeing you up to get your groove on. If you are looking for a trendy maternity boutique featuring both casual and chic styles at an affordable price then you will love Pink Blush Maternity! You'll find great separates and my favorite, stunning maternity maxis!

What I'm Wearing | Sugar and Spice | Featuring Pink Blush Maternity

Sugar and spice and everything nice. That's what little girls are made of. For my latest maternity outfit post I thought I'd showcase these playful polka dots from Pink Blush Maternity in one of the sweetest locations on earth, Sweet Pete's. Located in downtown Jacksonville, Sweet Pete's and their neighbors the Candy Apple Cafe are bringing sophisticated fare, and gourmet tasty treats to the masses. The location is stunning! Formerly the home of the historic Seminole Club, now the halls drip with candy color chandeliers, and larger than life candy chic decor. These polka dots certainly pop in such a whimsical setting!

Polka Pop!

Polka dots are classic. They never go out of style and I love how they add a graphic flair to any look. When I spotted this trendy maternity top I knew it was a must have.When styling keep your outfit monochromatic for a more straight forward look, or add a pop of color for an accent like I did here with punches of red.

This swing tunic is super soft and and the fabric lays on the skin really nicely hugging your curves where it needs to and camouflaging anything you'd like to hide. It's also really lightweight which was a must have for the summer.

You could easily pair this top with a great set of leggings or skinny jeans, but I liked these wide leg white pants since they weren't as clingy. Again, summer priorities.

A world of sweetness

Pink Blush Maternity has been my new favorite find for cute maternity clothes at great prices. Flirty, fun, casual, or dressy, they have the pieces that will keep you fashionable during these very special nine months.

Only a few weeks left until this sweetie makes her appearance, in the meantime I'm staying comfy and satisfying this sweet tooth.

Until then...

Enjoy the Journey!

In Bloom | Outfit Post | Featuring Pink Blush Maternity

Fashion and Travel Blogger Amy West features this Floral Maternity Maxi from Pink Blush Maternity on her latest outfit post.

Shopping for maternity clothes in this day in age is a world away from 30 years ago. We are so lucky to have a variety of great maternity boutiques to choose from. Finding the right style for your body and personality can be tricky. However, with a little bit of luck you'll stumble upon the perfect shop for you. During this pregnancy, I've enjoyed discovering some of the trendiest Mom-to-Be ensembles out there and sharing a piece of my style with you. When I stumbled upon Pink Blush Maternity, I couldn't wait to showcase a few of their looks right here on the blog. Especially this little floral number.

Timeless Elegance

When I discovered this floral maternity maxi I was drawn to it's timeless elegance. However, as you might suspect, purchasing floral patterns can be tricky. If not fitted right or designed well they can resemble upholstery more than a classically designed dress. I was pleased when I received this maternity maxi to find that it fit like a dream and the faux wrap design was very flattering. I think the secret is really making sure it's the right size. I usually wear a size 4/6 when not pregnant. For this design I ordered a small maternity size and it was perfect. If you order too big, it won't hug those blossoming curves as well and may tow the line. Not pregnant? No problem. Pink Blush's women's line also offers this floral maxi in traditional women's sizes.

I've had more compliments on this look than pretty much any maternity out fit I've showcased so far. It's a show stopper!

Delicate Details

This design brought to mind Victorian elegance which lead me to style it with delicate details. The beautiful colors in multiple shades and depths gave a lot of freedom to choose accent colors to compliment the entire look. In this case I chose both a fuchsia polish and a deep burgundy clutch, along with dusty blue earrings. Classic pearls and this delicate lace headband made for the perfect final touches.

Easy Sophistication

This far along in my pregnancy I'm not really into spending long periods of time taming my long mane. Top that off with soaring summer temps and that leaves me with limited options for quick hair looks. I chose this headband because I knew I could do this quick tuck in up do. Simply part your hair in the middle, lay on the headband (on top of your hair) then tuck the hair that hangs down up and into the headband. Fasten with a few pins as needed and you are done. Literally 5 minutes or less.
