LBS Chic: Tweed Tweed Baby

It’s almost that time. Little #babybrownsugar will be making her debut very soon, which means it’s getting harder and harder for me to feel comfortable in anything but spacious silhouettes like this tweed cape I adore.

 Stretchy neutral tops and flats have been staples I hold dear. Black always makes me feel more chic.

The tummy is getting so big I could barely close my cape!

What I am enjoying, since my clothing options are limited, is experimenting with new hair & makeup looks as well as fun accessories! I decided to try wearing my hair straight for the first time in a really long while. I only straighten my natural curls about 2-3 times per year and I usually do it around the holidays. This time I enhanced the look with extensions from Echelon Hair. So different for me! But they’re growing on me. Above I’m also wearing the Fire Opal Collar from BaubleBar ($36) – I’ve been going HAM on their online sales since I discovered the site.

Also, my newest obsession is this Cecile Multifunction Stainless Steel Watch ($145) that was sent to me by the lovely folks at Fossil. It is really beautiful, it’s rosegold (my fave) and a great option for a fashionable holiday gift.

I’m giving myself a break before the inevitable diaper bag-toting days are upon me. My rule of thumb untuil #babybrownsugar arrives is to tote small bags and fun clutches. My back aches more often now as well so I need to be mindful of how much I carry. This Indigo Uber Clutch ($150) from GiGi New York. I picked it because I received the matching cell phone case at an event recently and fell in love. So I got the full size and they engraved it with my initials. This is another awesome holiday gift – personalized and fashion-forward.

As for footwear, it’s all about flats for me this season. Boy, do I miss my heels. BUT I have to say the folks at DUO Boots really hooked me up. They specialize in boots that are custom fit to your calf, which is amazing for plus-size women especially who have issues getting chic knee-high boots to zip all the way up. These are the AMORA ($435) in Black Moc Croc Leather. They are so incredibly comfortable and lots of room in the calf area.
