The Sun Lounge Any amount of outdoor space in New York City is a luxury, but our terrace, with its narrow and L-shaped configuration, presented a real challenge for furnishing and enjoying it all these years. But, with all of this extra time at home, I realized it was time to give our terrace a…

My Postpartum Journey to My Prepregnacy Body
It’s hard to believe that seven months have passed since we welcomed our little angel into the world. Although these last few months have been life’s most fulfilling, they have also been the hardest. From an unexpected and painful c-section birth and recovery to baby’s hospitalization to a pandemic, time is flying by although I…
How to Execute an At Home Photoshoot
Now, more than ever, I am acutely aware of the many luxuries I once took for granted, including having a professional take photographs for my blog or to help document life’s milestones. For all of my new moms, I specifically empathize with your feeling of disappointment that this is not how you envisioned your first…
Pretty in Pleats
With everything going on in the world, it’s hard to think about anything Covid unrelated. But, this week, perhaps due to the gorgeous Spring weather and my return from maternity leave, I decided it’s time to get back to some sort of normal, albeit altered. So, I’m excited to finally share a pretty pleated look…
Quarantine in Style | It’s Time to Upgrade Your Loungewear
I don’t know about you, but I’ve been minimally motivated to get dressed during these days at home. For the first few days, I relished in leggings and sweatpant bliss. But as the novelty wore, and the realization that I hadn’t gotten out of my pajamas in days finally set in, I knew it was…
Trend Alert: The Shirt Jacket
Fashion week, both on and off the runways, solidified our need to try out a new trend – the shirt-jacket. But before we get into the details of this week’s look, I can’t tell you how excited I am to share my first fashion post since the baby. There’s no doubt that life and my…
Newborn Lifestyle Shoot
It’s incredible how tiny newborns are and how quickly they grow (sigh). I can’t believe its already been one month since Stephanie came to meet baby Rafa for our newborn shoot and how much he has already changed (yes, I’m already panicking about how quickly he’s growing and not so secretly hoping he stay mini…
12 Newborn Essentials That Won’t Make It to Your Baby Registry
5 weeks down and a lifetime to go! I’m far from a mommy expert and if these first few weeks have taught me anything about motherhood, it’s that once you think you’ve figured something out, your little one will show you that you haven’t. When setting up your baby registry, it’s easy to focus on…
Maternity Shoot | Look 3
I saved the best look for last. My third look for the maternity shoot was completely impromptu, but might just be my favorite of the three. I had the idea of using fabric to create a couture look and Steph arrived on the day of the shoot with an arm full of black tulle. I’ve…
Maternity Shoot | Look 2
For my second look, I wanted a clean silhouette that emphasized the bump, but slightly more glamorous than the first. To create contrast against the grey backdrop, I opted for a white off -the-shoulder bodycon midi maternity dress with ruched sides from ASOS. I was a bit nervous about the idea of a tight white…
Maternity Shoot | Look 1
I am so excited to share the first of three looks from my maternity shoot. Who knew that less than one week after these photos were taken baby Rafa would be making his big debut! Steph and I had been talking about a maternity shoot for some time, but between our hectic work schedules and…
Baby Shower Glam: How I put together the perfect baby shower look
There are so many beautiful details to share from my baby shower last weekend, but I can’t think of a better way to start than with how I put together my look. I know, it’s been way too long since my last blog post, but I swear the time I spent away from the blog…
