5.5 weeks post pregnancy

My husband's new hobby - amateur photography. He really enjoyed it during high school and the birth of our child was the perfect excuse for him to get back into it. He has a good eye and he is improving.

MIA

I have been completely MIA!  I cannot believe how busy things have gotten. I will resume posting tomorrow. I have lots to post and update. Lots of style, fashion AND fitness to share. I'll spread it out though...lol

I'm sorry that I was not consistent this past week. It will not happen again!

My First Booties

I have always loved the look of booties on the Victoria Secret models. Being only 4 foot 11 inches I figured there's no way I could ever pull them off. Not to mention, I am a size 4.5 in women's. My shoe size is very hard to come by. Sometimes depending on how and who makes the shoe I can wear a size 5.


My husband had his work's Holiday Party coming up and I just had to buy the perfect shoes to go along with the perfect dress I found to accommodate my growing belly. Just because I'm pregnant does not mean I can't look fabulous, right? lol


Gianni Bini "Elliot" Booties in black, size 5.5 (slightly big but I make it work!)

I am 31 weeks pregnant and I wore them at the Holiday Party for 4 hours, danced for 3 more hours at Latin Night with a few friends and taught them some Salsa steps.

Here are a couple bloggers who have been a recent encouragement to me in expanding my style without hesitation or fear brought on by my height and size.

Lydia the Girl

This hat fits just right and kinda funny, I think.
Lydia the Girl. That's why I am a Mary Kay Consultant. That and it's the only skin care/cosmetic line I'm not allergic to. 
I'm sure that there are many of you out there who feel the same. Not quite tomboy. Not quite girly-girl. I really like fashion and style, but I don't always dress up or put effort into looking put together. Although, I am drawn to high fashion and vogue.


I have a few really great girlfriends who are really good at that kind of stuff, so I'm hoping to learn from them. lol
My husband signed me up at a modeling agency and thought it would be a fun experience for me. It's been a year and I still feel self-conscious. I'll fill you in more on that later.
