10 Things

Today I thought I would share 10 random things that have made me smile these last couple of days. What are some things that have made you smile?

1. Filling up after work and driving home on a full tank of gas.
2. Eating dinner with the fella and quoting our favorite movies, shows, and commercials the entire time. I’ve never laughed so hard! I love being goofy with the boy:)
3. Feeling enthusiastic not frightened (yet) for the arrival of Baby Girl Mason.
4. Feeling sexy at 36 weeks pregnant in this Forever21 floral stunner;)
5. Spotting an interracial couple at dinner with their adorable toddler and the fella leaning over and whispering, “That will be us in a year!”
6. Puppy kisses on my legs after a shower.
7. Planning a dinner and game night at our house on Saturday.
8. My obsession with these Target sandals. Seriously wear them EVERYDAY!
9. Feeling motivated and excited to go on morning walks with Baby Girl once she’s here. (This could be wishful thinking, as I’m sure I’ll be exhausted but here’s hoping!).
10. Coming home to my Hello Merch Oklahoma Benefit tank! See how I style it up later this week!

Savvy in my City with London Times

There’s something about downtown Gilbert, Arizona that is just lovely. It may be the welcoming little shops, the amazing restaurants, the many bike trails, or the friendly people, but downtown Gilbert evokes small town charm. While I might not be a native to the Grand Canyon State I’m happy to call Gilbert my current home. It’s like one of those towns you see on 50s sitcoms – quaint, magical, and right out of a post card! When the fella suggested venturing off to DT Gilbert for dinner and an evening stroll I knew what dress I wanted to wear. This London Times number is just perfect for Arizona’s dog days of summer – lightweight and sleeveless, yet it still packs a punch with the print! My favorite part - that its baby bump friendly and I’ll still be able to wear it way past the pregnancy. Brownie points!

London Time’s new collection is just knocking it out of the park! I’ve got my eye on this dress and this one! But wait, they are currently running an Instagram giveaway series every Friday until 6/28 called #SUMMERFRIDAY where you can win some goodies of your own! For details click here!

Here are some Fabulously Average tips to be savvy in my city:

• With the temps well into the triple digits during the long summer months, us Phoenicians are huge advocates of fro-yo all the time, everyday. However, I’m partial to the sea salt caramel milkshake from Frost Gelato Shopp here in Gilbert.  Best treat to beat the heat!
• To expereience the BEST breakfast you’ve ever had, Liberty Market is the place to go! There you can get the most amazing pancakes you’ll ever taste, potatoe salad with the most diverse spices, and a chorizo omlete that will keep you coming back for more! Yes, all in one place:)
• Looking for a wine bar with a great atmosphere? Postino East is where it’s at! And don’t even get me started on their selection of brushetta?!? Life changing my friends, life changing!

Magic

Tuesday’s outfit for your Thursday viewing pleasure! The whole dress as a tunic idea has become quite handy in these parts, especially when I really want to wear a valued piece in my wardrobe like this red polka dotted number I thrifted many moons ago. It’s so cool to see the styling evolution of this dress (seen here and here)! It’s been a beloved item in my closet from the get and I couldn’t be happier that I can still wear it with all the extra weight and the baby bump. This dress always seems to make me feel fabulous and special – like magic!
