.this month's shopping list: august.

with my birthday falling around the middle of august, i've always quite enjoyed making my shopping list for this month [for obvious reasons!]. it never fails in helping out the male half of my duo [hint hint, babe!] with ideas which works out to be kind of a no-brainer and win-win all in one! easy for him and i get exactly what i'm lusting over that month! yay!

what's currently on my shopping list for august.
poppy barley chelsea boot || pb just released this new model and i am swooning! these may be my new fall go-to boot and i just love that they are tailored to your feet measurements making them the comfiest pair i'm sure i'll ever own!
gorjana & griffin mia tiered necklace || a new fav designer on the radar! and the perfect necklace to layer or wear alone. i also love the length of this so much. a must have!
pia wallen large cross blanket || the only blanket to have right now. it's perfection and i really really want it.
gorjana & griffin mae shimmer solitaire || and my 2nd pick from this designer. these simple, tiny rings would look great all together or worn alone. i just adore a thin band on my hands.
anthropologie nassella joggers || i am loving the silk tailored pajama pant craze right now and although i find myself a little hippy for these pants [trying to actually say: scared to look more hippy!] i think this awesome pattern would distract from any issues.
frends headphones || this big girl needs these big girl headphones in a band way. so sleek and stylish, and perfect for travel.
gorjana & griffin teagan cuff || and my 3rd pick from this designer [what can i say?! i'm a jewellery girl!]. this has been on my radar for a while and is basically the perfect piece to add to any outfit. dressed up or down. perfection.
pendelton bath robe || something about those old school hudson bay stripes...and although this is not an actual hudson bay robe, it's by a favourite company of mine - pendleton. sigh. momma could really use a new robe, especially as i plan on living in my pajamas for a while after the twins are born.

.this month's shopping list: july.

this month's shopping list has me lusting over breezy summer dresses, embroidery, and floral. and a few special care products to assist against that powerful summer sun.
and yes, i am fully aware that july is almost over....sheesh. i have some buying to do!

shop: [just click on the title and it'll take you right to the item!]
1. thief & bandit maxi dress || i personally think this may be the absolute perfect summer maxi dress. a little on the higher price scale, but worth every penny. and i do believe that i could wear this bump and sans-bump, which is obviously just the extra push of reasoning i needed ;)

2. jcrew hibiscus floral shorts || this colour scale has me drooling! and that pom-pom trim...need i say more? just wish i could wear them this summer, instead of next. darn bump.

3. asos maternity embroidered sundress || actually purchased and patiently awaiting its arrival. i just can't wait to sink my claws into this dress and i will for sure do a bump update once it arrives. that's a promise.

4. bite beauty agave lip mask || on every 'must-try' list and apparently everyone knows it as well! it's always sold out...but i'm on the hunt!

5. madewell cross-stitch belt || really enjoying this shade of leather lately, and those embroidered cross-stitch detailing just adds so much more. also, this would kind of be perfect to pull in a dress for some bump highlighting action.

6. marc jacobs nail polish in colour snap! || i've been on the hunt for a great orange shade since the sun's been out and this, my friends, is it! i love the bright contrast against a tanned summer hand. also, how great would this pair with those hibiscus shorts?!

7. anthropologie dress || there aren't many words i have for how beautiful this dress it. and i think it may even have a high enough waistline  to fit the bump?! so so so pretty.

8. shiseido refreshing sun protection spray for hair and body || i always wondered how to not burn the hot of your head when you forget your hat on really sunny days. and now i have my answer. also, my son has the lightest shade of blonde hair you've ever seen and i am paranoid about it burning. i think this needs to be added to my arsenal stat!

9. bobbi brown soho chic eyeshadow palette || i've been eyeing this baby up forever now and it's potentially time to purchase. the colours in it are perfection.

.this month's shopping list: june.

this month's shopping list clearly dictates what has been on my mind as of late. rest, a little mama pampering, comfort, summer weather, and the planning stages for the twins room.  

shop:

1. mason pearson hairbrush || have you heard of this brush? a bit of a luxury splurge, but well worth the dolla bills from what i've heard. and since this month i'm all about pampering myself, why not give the hype a try. i have enough hair to justify it, right?!

2. maternity pajamas || i've actually found it quite hard to find a cute pair of maternity pj's. this pair cures that issue.

3. poppy barley feminine slipper || what's not to love about these flats? classic style. leather. well made. tailored to fit your feet to the exact measurement. and just basically all-around perfect. 

i have been wanting them forever, and since i feel i deserve a little tlc for brewing twins and running after a toddler, that may just be the perfect excuse to finally bite the bullet for my tired and sore feet.

4. basket || perhaps the perfect laundry hamper for the twins room? could also double as a much needed and stylish toy wrangler.

5. embroidered dress || i am dying over embroidery anything right now and this dress, although not in the maternity section, may actually still fit this growing bump! yay! and it just screams 'summer' to me.

6. maternity bathing suit || is this not the cutest maternity swimsuit you've ever laid eyes on?! 

7. cool names for baby book || oh, gosh. we have twins to name! what more can i say? we've been able to narrow down a few names for girls, but the boys have left us completely open, so this book [or your suggestions!!] are very much needed.

true story - last month we actually had a couple names narrowed down for boys too, and then by sheer coincidence the exact two names we choose, and damn it - also sounded great together, where snagged by a few close aquantances of mine. we had never spoken of baby names together ever, and their they were in my instagram feed complete with pictures of the two cutest baby boys attached to them. what are the chances?! so as the age-old saying goes 'can you still name your kids the same as a close acquaintance of yours?', even if you love them so?

oh, what to do... needless to say, this book may come in handy. and is much needed.

.this month's shopping list: october.

this month's shopping list. on my mind in no particular order: halloween, work shoes, tailored pieces, dark fall makeup, warm knits, cozy sweaters, leopard and leather.

shop: 

1. peplum top || i'm thinking this is a perfect neutral for those days when i just can't figure out what to wear and i'm in a bit of a rush....which is basically every morning. [and it's on sale!!!]

2. work mary janes || are these not just the perfect work heel? another neutral to go with everything. and a closed toe is a must for the office, or at least at what i do.

3. leopard iphone case || i just can't get enough of calf hair or leopard anything! it's becoming a small addiction. [and it's on sale!!!! with an additional 40% off!]

4. faux leather a-line dress || i truly think this faux leather dress is a bit of perfection. and perhaps an easy way to dive into the leather trend? a great piece for layering.

5. cute black work pumps || another great pair of heels. dressed up or dressed down, both would work well. i think i need these desperately.

6. warm stylish knitted hat || homemade hat perfection, right there. i am also totally digging this colour combo.

7. bordeaux fall lipgloss || this is my perfect fall lip colour. it's perfection and i needed it, like yesterday.

8. bien sweater || just a damn great shirt, especially since i've got a thing for all things french since my last vacation.

9. halloween cookie cutter/press || yep. these are just awesome. and halloween is almost upon us!,
