Current Favorites

During pregnancy,  I struggle being comfortable.  Sleeping is difficult,  eating is difficult (due to gagging often on certain foods that I used to love), back pain is constant, and temperature sensitivity is all the time.  Hormones and a shift of gravity putting pressure on back and spine are common culprits during pregnancy.

I decided it's time to invest in items to help me feel a bit more comfort.

For too long, I have worn shoes with no arch support. This is especially not good during pregnancy.  The time finally came for new comfort, versatile shoes.  While searching, I came across many flashy, bright sneakers, something I just can't wear with everything.

While looking online at J crew,  one of my favorite shops in the history of ever, I found the shoes I feel i've searched forever for, as well as a few other things I purchased. Must be pregnancy doing this to me, but I went a bit crazy shopping.

Note: I don't do sponsored posts (maybe in the future), but am sharing just for the purpose of sharing, the stuff I bought since it's been a long time since I've bought anything.
                        These are the New Balance for J. CREW sneaker. Absolutely adorable.  love the vintage look of them and according to reviews, they are very comfortable.  They are on backorder until September,  so I'll have to wait.
                      These Sea Vees Legend vintage sneakers are selling out fast at j. Crew, and I am glad I got these before they were gone. I love the comfort of them and they go with everything. Perfect pregnancy and post  shoe. Wish I just had them at Disneyland a few weeks ago.
       I love t-shirts and anything basic. I was able to snatch this Sailboat dyed tee at the 40% off during the big jcrew sale.

 I spied this on Amazon and couldn't resist it. It's the crochet tablecloth and hopefully its still available.  I am really into the vintage theme for my home with a touch of the farmhouse going on.
I am a tad obsessed with these chicken wire baskets.  I have quite a collection going on. I store books, toys, laundry,  etc in them. I get mine at Tj Maxx
 the Liz Lange collection of maternity dresses. I love striped clothing and saw this at Target in the maternity section about two months ago. I just checked and its still available online in solid and striped colors. Just size down one whole size. It is so light and comfortable. I have even slept in it. Whoops.

The pregnancy pillow.  These are easy to find. This particular one is from Walmart. I can't say enough about the support they give.

So there are my summer, pregnancy splurges. I know I will get tons of use out of each of these items.

Tasty!
