Mommy to Be Splurge
January 13th, 2012 § Leave a Comment
Every so often, I come across a wedding where all the bridesmaids are fresh faced and posing together in the most adorable robes. Floral and whimsical looking, I have long coveted Plum Pretty Sugar and their line of robes, tunics and loungewear. There is something deliciously summer-like with all their clothes.
Recently, I decided that if I am going to push a baby into this world, it was “Operation: Try to Look Cute” in full effect. Although I hear from everyone that modesty will fly right out the window once the pain of labor is introduced, I remain unconvinced. My modesty has never met any pain it couldn’t overcome. The thought of my tush hanging out for the interns to see while I roll around on a birthing ball is enough to give my hives. At the very least, I am determined to attempt to make labor a little prettier than I have seen on TV. So, I reasoned that if I am going through the pain of labor, I should reward myself with something to congratulate my ability to create a person. Something that will make me feel a little prettier on the day I give birth, a little more Princess Leia and a little less Jabba the Hut, if you will. So I ordered this ankle length robe from Plum Pretty Sugar and let me tell you, I can hardly wait the 40 more days to put it on! If this can’t make me look a little cuter, then nothing will!
Here are some other delicious things from their apparel line.
My Santa List

Here are some things that are on my Santa list this year. What’s on yours?
1. Emmett Jewelry Dresser from Pottery Barn
$199.00
A classy way to keep a growing jewelry collection organized
2. Druzy Pie Drop Earrings from Anthropologie $78
3. Refined and Rough Hewn Necklace from Anthropologie $98
I love this necklace and pretty much anything from the jewelry section of Anthropologie
4. The Bow from Z Gallerie $499.95
A beautiful lithograph that would fill the space over our bed nicely!
5. Petunia Pickle Bottom Boxy Backpack in Peaceful Portofino $160
I just love the diaper bags from Petunia Pickle Bottom. Their bags are super cute with lots of functionality and style
6. Wedding Album by Good Stock prices starting at $1,350
I am on love with the services over at Good Stock. They turn your memories into a beautifully bound storybook and I dream of the day I can hand over all our wedding photos and have them transform them into something amazing.
The scent of this candle is magnificent. It is light and not too overpowering like some candles can be.
I adore Tom’s shoes but thus far, I have only adored them at a distance and would love to actually put some on my feet.
9. Rose Gold Michael Kors Watch $250
I love Rose Gold. It is not quite gold, but not quite silver. It’s somewhere wonderful in between.
10. A Real Adult Headboard $1,099
My brother was telling me the other day that the only thing keeping him from feeling like an adult was the fact that his bed didn’t have a headboard and all adults have headboards and not just the stupid little $50 metal frame. Which got me thinking, maybe it is about time we got a headboard!
