Guest Post : Looking Chic While Pregnant.

{ By Adrienne } 

Nowadays, there are so many cute maternity clothes, there is no reason you cannot look chic & fabulous while you are pregnant.  What I have discovered recently is that the current style is long and flowy, so you can even find regular clothes to wear, which is cost efficient!

While we are on the topic of being cost efficient, some maternity clothes are SO expensive!  The trick is to find the sales or go to places that you know have good quality clothes for a decent price.  I am only 14 weeks pregnant but I have had a TON of friends who have had babies recently, so they have given me some tips...  

1.  Motherhood Maternity clothes shrink so either air dry or buy a size/length that has room to shrink.

2. The GAP Sale rack usually has some awesome deals on tank tops & casual shirts.

3. Get a GOOD pair of jeans! This would be the one thing to spend a decent amount of money on.

4. Some H&M stores have a maternity section with nice work clothes.

5. Sign up for coupons & email lists- often you'll get the scoop on deals & coupons no one else does. 

6. Liz Lange’s collection at Target is cute & priced well- great for basics. 

Here are some of my favorite outfits:

I really like this Motherhood Maternity dress

Wouldn't it look super cute with a black cardigan?

 Plus this would be a great dress for work too!

This 

GAP Graphic Lace T is sweet 

& on sale for only $19.99!

I really like these basic 

Liz Lang Crop Twill Cargo Pants 

from Target too!

Don’t you hate it when you see something in a store and then think, 

“Oh, I could make that!” but then half the time you just forget about it and 

never take the time to make it? Well, here a few DIY ideas that could save you some cash 

and don’t require you to be a crafting genius. Each of these is definitely on my to-do list!

This is an AMAZING idea- 
Turn a purse you already own into a stylish, functional camera bag! 
There are so many great shops out there selling gorgeous, 
girly camera bags, but this DIY option is genius!

This shabby chic picture frame earring holder tutorial is too sweet, and too easy!

Remember that great pillow from Target with the yellow rosettes 

that was all over the interwebs a few months ago? 

Well, with this tutorial you can make your own!

Happy crafting!

Guest Post : Polka Dots.

{ By Nicole } 

Who doesn't love polk-a-dots? 

They are so cheery and fun!

The only thing better than the polk-a-dotted rug 

in this office are the cute yellow shoes on the rug.

Wouldn't these straws be perfect 

for a party or shower (a baby shower, perhaps ;) )?

I love this DIY lamp. It's so inspiring when someone 

touches something up with paint and it looks fabulous.

Since I'm planning my own wedding right now, I've been obsessing 

over these decorations with so many pretty details (hello - polk-a-dotted cakes!). 

Thanks for having me, Ashley!

Chase those winter blues away... 

{ A Guest Post by Leslie }

With long days of blustery weather, endless grey skies, and so much 

time spent inside, sometimes winter can be a tad hard on the soul. 

Granted, my husband and I live in Texas, so we really have it pretty easy. 

However, I do feel for my friends who live up north. 

For those times when you long to go outside without five layers of 
clothing on, or dream of warm sunshine on your face, here are 
some bright and encouraging Etsy goodies to cheer you up!

{ Painted Mustache Mugs by Hart of Stone }

I’m SO happy to be guest-posting for Ashley 
and I hope that you enjoy these!

First of all, thank you so much to Ashley for having me here. 

I frequently find inspiration from Oh What Fun so I am excited to be here!

 I know, Ashley is always looking for fun prints and art to hang in her home, 

so I thought I'd put together a few pieces of art that would be perfect for Baby Fry's nursery...
