Wynwood Murals

Miami’s Wynwood is an outdoor art gallery for street artists. The Wynwood Murals were conceived by Tony Goldman in 2009 and brought to life in 2010. Since the Wynwood neighborhood is stock full of large of warehouse buildings mostly without windows those building were destined to used as giant street art canvases. Instead of arresting street artist, Graffiti is now considered a form of art and Miami is celebrating these artist by giving them canvas for the world to see.

Artists that can be found in Wynwood that I love are Invader, Retna, Shepard Fairey, and Swoon. While driving around the neighborhood the other day, I found this amazing mural featuring Audrey Hepburn, but have been unable to figure out the artist’s name. If anyone knows who did this street art, please comment below. I found a picture of the mural several places on the internet with the best shot of the Audrey Hepburn mural here.

Beach Cover Ups as Maternity Tops

I am one of those women that enjoys having a ton of options when choosing an outfit in the morning. Maternity clothing can be expensive and I really cannot afford to buy as many options as I would like. I figured out a simple way to expand my pregnancy wardrobe using beach cover ups as maternity tops. Keep in mind that I live in Florida and buy at least 2 bathing suits per year with matching cover-ups. Of course, most of the bathing suits are long gone, but I keep the beach cover ups since they don’t get the beaten that the swimsuit gets from the chlorinated and salted water.

15 Weeks Pregnant

The pregnancy belly is just starting to show here so I am wearing my pants open with a belly band. The band hides my unbuttoned jeans and acts as shapewear by smoothing that not-quite-pregnant-looking belly. The Liz Lange for Target top works well when the belly is small so that there is not a ton of extra fabric. … Read more

What to Wear to a Baptism

My husband and I were asked to do a photo shoot for a Baptism. Since I was just a little bit pregnant during this photography job, I wore a loose dress with a skinny belt to synch my waist. I covered up on top to be respectful as my boobs were already growing to the ridiculous size they are now…34 DDD! I probably could have used a longer dress or some black tights to leggings underneath as the dress got a little short since it was more full than normal. The dress is a former Designer for Target creation. The polka dot dress is  by Jovovich-Hawk. I found some available on Ebay. Here is another fabulous polka dot dress that I found at Nordstrom.

The skinny belt was found at Good Will. It is by Nine West. Check out this skinny belt that looks similar. The sunglasses are from Chanel purchased at Edward Beiner and the bag is Never Full by Louis Vuitton. The details on the accessories are here.

A Pea In A Pod Maternity Shopping

I have several events coming up that I need some fancy maternity outfits for. A Pea in a Pod at Boca Town Center has an amazing selection of designer maternity duds. You can definitely find better deals out there, but if you are looking for labels, then A Pea in a Pod is the place to go. I purchased the Nicole Miller dress that I wore to the Boca Museum fashion event and the blue and green sheer top that I brought to the Independent Fashion Bloggers Conference in New York. Now, that I am looking at the pictures, I might check back to see if the DVF dress is still there.
