DIY Texturizing Beach Hair Spray
Love the look of beach hair…but not stepping foot on the sand anytime soon?
Here's how to easily (and inexpensively) make your own spray to give your hair that great, beachy texture.
Mini-Indulgence: So Many Scarves

My favorite find from last weekend's trip to Carmel: a $9 scarf that I suspect will end up coming out to about 1 cent per wear in the coming months. Aren't those colors gorgeous?!
You know what's one item that makes most mother's Must-Have Lists, but that I didn't buy the first time around and don't plan on buying this time, either? A breast-feeding cover. It just feels like one more thing to have to carry around in an already-overstuffed diaper bag. And besides: I figure why buy a special (and probably overpriced) product when the scarf I already have looped around my neck will do just as nicely…and probably be prettier and not covered with sheep and such?
Now And Later
Over the past couple of days I've been scrolling back through my pregnancy style posts (both from this year and from 2011), and while I think I dressed pretty differently for Take 1 and Take 2 mostly because my style has changed a bit over the past couple of years, one thing was consistent: I never, ever wanted to not look (and feel) like myself. I love baby-doll maxi dresses and wrap dresses and other similarly traditional "maternity" cuts when I see them on other expecting women…but on me? I just don't feel quite right unless I'm wearing something that I'd totally wear whether waiting-on-a-baby or not, so what I gravitate towards are the same slouchy tops and skinny bottoms that form the basis of my "regular" wardrobe.
Take, for example, this outfit. While it works for late-third-trimester (less than three weeks to go!), it's still something I can easily see myself wearing two months from now. Even though those jeans are technically maternity jeans, complete with Secret Fit Belly (which is the BEST)…I can virtually promise that you'll see them post-birth, because I am obsessed.
Obsessed.
