HRH COLLECTION: 3 WAYS TO STYLE YOUR COFFEE TABLE

I've been lusting after LV trunks for the good part of 10 years. While browsing the webs, I stumbled across a post by one of my favorite bloggers - HRH Collection - featuring her super fab LV trunk, which she uses as a coffee table, and three ways to style it (or any coffee table for that matter). I am in serious need of fresh ideas for table styling, and wanted to share... Enjoy!

Our weekend adventures

The weather was GORG last weekend and I wanted to share a few snippets from our adventures outside. I wish Seattle had 80 degree days more often.

One of my favorite parts was seeing Connelly in the cutest romper that I picked up from a great boutique -- Target! What do you think?

Six months pregnant

What do you think, folks? We couldn't resist the photo opp when we were leaving the (word's best) park the other day.

Moroccan decor dilemma

We just moved into a new house that came with an extra 1,000 square feet. It doesn't seem like a lot, but when you're initially only working with 1,200 square feet, the extra square footage adds a significant amount of space. My dilemma is this - creating cohesive décor. I have plenty of inspiration boards, and now it's time to dive in to actually making things fit together. Lately I'm smitten with Moroccan style - rugs, throws, pillows - but I don't want to (and my husband won't let me)  replace all of our accessories. So I have to try to work the updates around our existing and then edit. I'm beginning with my rugs. I already bought one and am thinking about an ivory Moroccan-style for my office. What do you think?

Kid activity

Bubbles are the best toddler activity. They keep Connelly busy for hours whether she's blowing them or chasing them down in the park. We're definitely going to have to try this...after I figure out what's in glow sticks.

Because sometimes a prego deserves to be bad...

Vintage design books

We're still getting settled into our new home and I've hit a design roadblock trying to integrate our existing furniture and accessories in to a new space. I've been doing some reaserch and decided that rather than purchasing high priced items for a semi-temporary space, I need stop feeling so overwhelmed and design and edit the clutter of decor and accessories to fit in our new space.

I'm starting with books. We have plenty of them, but not really the right kind. I'm going to kick out some of our old picture frames and candles to make room for a few vintage design books. I think they'll help add the much needed polish I'm looking for.

Little girl boho style

I'm starting to collect some summer wear for Connelly and have fallen in love with boho baby style. It pairs well with her personality and her free flowing locks. Now, if only it came in my size...

Maternity style

Now if only I had somewhere to wear this fab dress...

Striding with strollers

Pregnancy sure does take a tole on the fitness level. Between morning sickness, winter time, a reconstructive surgery and our move from Michigan to Seattle, I've fallen off the fitness train. Before pregnancy I took a bootcamp class 3 days a week and ran when the weather permitted and as soon as I found out I was pregnant, I got sick and it all stopped.

I really do think it's important to listen to your body - I'm listening now and it's telling me to get moving! I decided to try out a new workout this morning called Stroller Strides - it sounded great because I can bring Connelly with me, and it's safe for the littlest one.

Check out pictures of Connelly working out with mama.
