* Long cardigans:
I'm so happy that long cardigans are still "in". I have a few favorites from last fall that I can't wait to pull out and pair with my maternity jeans!

Note to my readers:
Although I may choose Nordstrom and other high-end stores to display certain looks and pieces, I want to encourage you that these same looks are available at lower prices in many other stores and boutiques if you are watching your shopping budget. I work a lot with Nordstrom because of their great quality for the price as well as the website being blog-friendly and always very well done.



Stay cool, find some time for yourself and remember to enjoy the last month of summer before we embrace fall trends & begin layering for cooler weather!

Wishing you a wonderful weekend,
Kelli
