Baby Room

  I have created separate areas in my baby's nursery. We have her closet area, her reading/learning center and her sleeping areawhere. 

   In her closet, I ofcourse, keep her going out outfits, sweaters, coats, shoes, blankets, receiving blankets, bib blankets, pampers, diapers and other things she won't need until she's a little older. My mom gave me the idea of a decorative skirt for her closet versus having drapery. I think this give the closet the look I was going for. It also exposes the closet in a decorative way. 

    I am huge on early development and learning and so I have created a learning and reading area for her. As she grows I will accommodate the area to her likings and make it as efficient as possible. In the shelves I have displayed books that both of her grandmothers have bought for her. Most books my mom gave her were mine and my sisters when we were kids. She has the Disney collection along with the Dr. Seuss collection. Her Disney collection has to be updated with the new princess that have emerged through out the years. 

To add some decor to the shelves, I have added stuffed animals and photos of the baby. Below the shelves - the floor shelving, are filled with teething toys, rattles and early development toys for her. The cute blow up penguins was taken from my cousin's baby's first birthday party. This also happens to be her very first birthday party that she attended. Yes, I was super excited! 

   The sleeping area is her crib - obviously. I have selected a set in which I felt would go best with the theme I was looking for. I wanted the vintage girly look and this was exactly it. The netting canopy functions as a mosquito net and yet looks very decorative. Thanks to my family and friends I was able to purchase the products I needed and received many gifts in which she uses. Please enjoy the photos! 

Home Decor

   Absolutely love my living space. The photos below shows my living room and work space. This is an open concept with touches of teal, yellow, gold, silver, and black and white. Spent my maternity leave finishing up the decor of this space. There are a few pieces of art work I would like to add but overall I'm extremly happy and satisfied with how it all came together. 

Items...

Pillows are from Target, Marshall's and a neighborhood store. 

Rugs are from Amazing Savings and Target

Picture frames and blue vases are from Marshall's 

Chalk board above my desk is also from Marshall's 

Teal bench is from Target

I definately did not over spend on these items. Most things were found cheaply and on sale. Hope you enjoy the photos! 

     

Emilio Pucci RTW Fall 2014

  The Fringe and cutout designs is definitely something I would love to pull off. I've gone through a little hibernation through out my pregnancy and now with having a newborn it's been pretty hard to keep up with things. I've completely missed out on a lot of shopping this year. Emilio's new line really shows the hottest and newest trend in my opinion. This is a perfect style for me to take on during my return - my after baby style. Like many of us, I use runway designs as inspiration. Now, where shall I find a cheaper version of this? 

Burberry Prorsum RTW Fall 2014

   Absolutely love this line. The tribal prints, colors and textiles are just beautiful. Love the way the scarfs are nicely thrown over the clothing/jackets. Would you guys rock that style? On another note, check out the shoes! Very Native. 

Valentine!

I know I'm days late but my valentine's day was spent at home feeding a 4 week old baby. The best part was dressing her up to perfection and taking cute photos of her. This is her first valentine and I wanted to create a wonderful memory for both me as a mom and her as the child. One day she will grow up and look back at this and say "mom!..Why am I wearing this ugly outfit". Of course, styles change through out the years. Who knows what's going to be in by the time she reaches her adulthood. 

Baby time!

   My dear friends Jamie bought my little one a really cute layette. My baby girl Alaehya made three weeks today. Polka dots is her thing! 

Major Change of the New Year

   The new year has brought so many changes into my life. This by far will be a great year! I have gained a new sunshine that brings peace to the soul - Alaehya Nuelle is what you call this. That is the name I have decided to give my new baby girl. She was born on January 17th at 4:52pm -Friday. This was the day my life changed forever. Emotions have been high ever since. My first week home with her I would sit and cry in disbelief of what I had created. May God continue to bless me, my baby, my family and friends with greatness. May the snow continue to fall. I could stay home with her forever.
