... grey
These pictures from Habitually Chic remind me of why I love the color grey.
Grey bedroom scheme
Men in cozy grey jackets. I would love to buy my husband either jacket. Look so comfy and warm.
Digging the elbows on this gentleman's coat.
Loving the pants/shoes combo.

... versace x h&m
These are my favorite pics from the Versace for H&M line that's coming out on November 17.
My absolute favorite H&M store on Fifth Avenue will definitely carry these items, but I'm wondering if the locations closest to me in NJ will carry them.

... at that stage
I'm at that stage where I'll use anything to distract me from my anxiety of giving birth. That's why a lot of this blog is about fashion and other random topics like furniture, decorating, etc.
We are 2 weeks (officially) away from our due date, and we can't be any more happier knowing that our little bundle will be arriving soon. The thought of her being here, in our arms, and being outside of the womb excites me. The process of getting her here in terms of labor pains, that's the part I'm worried and anxious about, naturally.
Thanks to childbirth class and watching videos on BabyCenter, it has somewhat prepared me with techniques on how to ease labor pain. Hopefully those techniques will help stop my anxiety during the process, and with backups in place (aka dear old faithful epidural), our actual childbirth will be less nerve wracking than I think it will be.
My top distractions hopefully will be dim lights, breathing, circular yoga movements on floor or on yoga ball, lavender scents in the room, and soft music. I would blog and read, but I have a feeling that won't distract me at all.
My main focus will be the end product - having her here finally and doing stuff with her as a family. :)

... In a heartbeat
I would buy these three items from T+J Designs.
Item 1
Item 2
Item3
I think they're worth the price tag and are very chic and luxe.

... true
My husband. What can I say about him without totally embarassing him in "front" of family, friends, and strangers.
It's obvious that I loved him for a long time now. This strong feeling of liking someone to transitioning to loving them then being in love with them. It has been quite the journey of feelings for me towards him. I knew he was a nice person. I knew he was a good friend. I knew he would be a great boyfriend and later husband. But now I know that he'll be an even greater father.
There's nothing that this man won't do for both me and the baby. He works hard day to day to make a living for the both of us. Then he'll spend endless amounts of hours doing hard labor around the house to prep it up for little girl's arrival. He won't stop there. He'll will cook meals for us to make sure we're eating well + making sure mommy and baby are eating dessert (our favorites right now are cookies & cream ice cream & Italian ice). He'll also help me get up when it's difficult, massage my back and legs when I'm sore, and will give kisses and hugs to my tummy/his daughter. He'll spend endless moments putting his warm hands on my tummy & talks to her and will always laugh and giggle at every movement.
I see the way he looks at me, and it's different. It's still the same love that he's had for awhile, but now it's grown even stronger especially because I'm carrying his second best friend in my tummy. I know he'll be a great father to our daughter because of all the above & much more.
Our love for one another has always been real, but it's become an even truer love throughout our pregnancy journey.

... sentimental
As of yesterday, I've reached my 9 month mark and we have 4 more weeks to go.
I can't believe how time has flown by so quickly. I feel like yesterday, we announced to our families that we were pregnant during Easter Sunday & to our friends via Facebook shortly after.
It's been a whirlwind, and I've enjoyed and soaked up every single moment. I love the fact that I can eat whatever I want and as many times I want. I loved feeling every single flutter that I felt in the beginning. That's how I knew my baby was there in my womb and growing. Each and every ultra sound made me so excited to see what the baby looked like and see the baby growing. Then that one ultra sound on our 20th week, when we found out she was a girl. Her kicks started growing stronger, and it was an amazing feeling knowing she was still there & growing stronger by the day.
As the weeks and months flew by, I knew that my love for her was growing stronger as well and I loved her more than the world (even from inside the womb). Now that we're at 36 weeks, I can't wait to have her in my arms and to love her more outside of the womb.
She already has begun her descent, and all we can do is soak up the last 4 weeks (if we make it to that point) of pregnancy before our little baby arrives. Baby girl, I knew I loved you before I met you.

... so cute and not 100% necessary
Why I must like things that are so cute and not 100% necessary?
Take for example, the below Rosette Door Knob Tie Back. This would look ultra cute in baby's room, but I don't need it and can't justify spending $12 on it even though it's on final sale at Urban Outfitters right now.
Oh why oh why do you have to be cute and not 100% necessary?
