Across all of my favorite retailers I am seeing bodysuits of all kinds! Comfy ones, sparkly ones, long sleeves, halter etc etc. I had to see what all the fuss was about so I ordered this Free People x Revolve Turnt Bodysuit. I gotta say I was very pleasantly surprised. Honestly it could have gone either way, but….. Bodysuits are flattering.
Shocked me, honestly!

Everything on Amazon may not be trustworthy, but we’ve done the work for you and found some dresses that are 100% TCP approved for you to wear this winter season. These Amazon Dresses under $50 are 5 stars.
And just like that, we are twinning again!
Can you believe it has almost been two years since our first Twinning in Gucci tights post? We sure can’t. But then again, 2020 was practically a wash so it really feels like just a year ago. Even if Cath was 9 months pregnant, haha!
We decided to bring back the twinning vibe and pair our old fave Gucci tights with some Amazon dresses for a recent studio shoot. The contrast of the designer tights with the affordable dresses felt like a fun idea and we gotta say, we love how they turned out. The contrast is fun, not to mention, we love sharing affordable options with you guys.
Catherine is wearing this black tunic dress. Rebecca is wearing this blue turtleneck sweater dress.

If Beth Dutton had an everyday uniform, I think that this would be it. Call it a costume or call it western-inspired style – whatever it is, here it is 🙂
Last year I shared my most visited blog post to date, which was how to recreate Beth Dutton’s style for Halloween. I chose the big fur coat look and for a whole year you guys have been repeatedly visiting the site. Is it Beth Dutton’s not give a F attitude or just that we love western inspired style? Maybe both!

A real and honest review of the SKIMS Fits Everybody Collection – especially for postpartum bodies.
ICYMI: I reviewed six pieces from the SKIMS Cotton Collection during my pregnancy. This was my first experience with SKIMS and it truly lived up to my expectations. I was excited to try some new pieces after Olive was born to get better idea how they would fit into my day to day and decided to get underwear and bras from the Fits Everybody Collection this time round.
YET AGAIN, they lived up to the hype. The website boasts that this collection is buttery soft and each piece stretches up to twice their size. When they say buttery soft, they mean buttery soft. It almost feels like you aren’t wearing anything. For me, in my postpartum body, I definitely needed the bras and underwear to be extra stretchy since my size is fluctuating so this collection was perfect.
So, I polled my instagram followers for things that they actually used during postpartum recovery and of course everyone had very different suggestions, but also lots of similar items, too. My Amazon Storefront has a list with the things that you guys suggested and I wanted to do a more extensive post here with the things that I actually used. AGAIN, like everything with pregnancy and postpartum, everyone is different! Obviously c-section recovery is very different than recovery from a vaginal birth and every birth is unique. SO, here is what worked for me.
ALWAYS DISCREET “Underwear” – Let’s call it like it is: diapers. I switched off between these and pads, just depending on how I felt that day. Honestly, changing the pads gets so annoying but the diapers aren’t the most comfortable thing in the world either. Its lose/lose and super uncomfy and annoying but such is the price we pay for bringing adorable children into the world 🙂
AMAZON UNDERWEAR & KINDRED BRAVELY UNDERWEAR – Both of these are big enough to accommodate the intense pads required postpartum. I am still wearing these at eight weeks postpartum because they are jump simply super comfy and have great coverage. Aside from SKIMS, I think these will be in rotation…. forever………
I have honestly been wondering for years if SKIMS are worth the hype. Everything the Kardashians do seems to turn to gold and make gazillions. While I might not be a huge fan of the fam or *keep up with the kardashians* on TV, I gotta admit, they are doing something right to have such a mega empire.
SO, I tried out 6 pieces from their cotton collection, because I figured those would be most comfortable to me right now in my 8 months pregnant body. Hardly anything is comfortable these days so trust me when I say, this was a true test.
Let’s start this one out by saying, going into this shoot I was kicking myself for not scheduling our maternity photos sooner. I was 35 weeks when we took these, and I really wish I had scheduled them around 30 weeks. At 30 weeks I felt better and, in my opinion, looked better. Cute bump and not all the swelling. Luckily for me, Johnny assured me that I looked great so I decided to just embrace the hot, sweaty, pregnant bod for the photos.
Naturally, I had a hard time deciding on a location and a vibe, so I decided to do more than one location and not two but three different vibes. We went with Romantic/Ethereal, Street Style & Sleek/Sexy. I started out with one big long blog post for all three looks but it was going to be INTENSE so I decided to create three different posts. Here you’ll find my tips for a sleek and sexy shoot. For the others, click through below to find a full post on the vibe you are looking for.
OK, back to the topic at hand..

We only have one additional room in our house aside from our bedroom (and the open living spaces), so the only real option was to turn the guest room into the nursery. (see the *before* here). I always thought I would be a neutral nursery kind of gal. Whether it was a boy or a girl, I envisioned something gender neutral with light pops of color *maybe.* However, once I became a *girl mom* all of a sudden I wanted girly things. So, anyway, without further introduction: here are the deets on how the room turned out and how we got there.
When choosing a theme and color scheme, I suggest having a *light* idea of how you want the room to turn out, and to be flexible as you go. Choose a few colors as your base and go from there. Or choose a theme and let that be your base.
