Last week we flew to NYC to attend our Rihanna’s 30th Birthday. Rihanna looked gorgeous – as she always does. Loc and I had such a wonderful time. I wish I could show you some photos from the event because it was so beautifully done but the event was a camera free zone.
I’ve gained quite a bit of weight from the pregnancy and I wanted to look elegant without showing my arms and my curves. I’m wearing a vintage 1920’s duchess satin opera coat which is perfect over any dress.
If you have a black tie event to attend during your pregnancy, try to stick with something with a clean silhouette. I always like dresses that are cut on the bias because they are flattering around the belly and behind. A loose maxi dress is another great option. I also find myself sticking with 3/4 sleeve or long sleeve tops but I try to stay away from baby doll dresses and low cut styles during pregnancy.

We have some amazing news to share! I couldn’t hold it back any longer as we are all bubbling over with excitement: we are expecting baby #2!
Sage is especially looking forward to having a sibling. She has been reading to the bump and even giving it kisses! She shared the news with everyone in her class and even brought the sonogram to school one day without me knowing. I love her personality and I can’t wait to see what she teaches her sibling. We’ve always wanted a baby in a Dog Year and February 16 is the first day of the Year of the Dog.
The pregnancy has been such a blessing. So far I feel amazing and very energetic. I’ve been eating normally, working out 4-5 a weeks at home or doing lagree at One Lagree. I don’t have any cravings but I do eat a lot which is why I gained almost 14 lbs and I’m at 19 weeks. We will find out the baby’s gender next week and I can’t wait to share!
Thanks for reading and stay tuned!

When I found out that I was pregnant, I got so excited and immediately started thinking about how I was going to dress my bump! I quickly learned that I could find maternity pieces that maintained my pre-pregnancy style and that was really worth the investment. I mixed some of the things that I already had in my closet that I still really loved and added them to my new maternity wardrobe. I wanted to look good and feel comfortable during these precious 9 months of pregnancy. The maternity pieces I bought from A Pea in the Pod have a great fit and are really high quality. They are well worth the investment since I wore them all the time during my pregnancy and I can even wear some of the pieces now post-pregnancy.
A Pea in the Pod was a life saver for me. It saved me a lot of time since I didn’t have to drive around to a bunch of different maternity stores as they carry a large selection of items that I love. During my pregnancy, I also found it easier to shop online and they have a large selection to choose from on their site.
Camel coat: This is definitely a fall must-have because it is great for day and night and very stylish. (Note: coat will be available in stores and online in August).
I’m 9 months and 5 days today!! My doctor said Sage can be here any moment now and I’m so nervous and excited at the same time. I have heard many stories on delivery & labor and soon it will be my turn. I hope it will be fast and easy for me. I wore this outfit to a birthday dinner this week. My feet swollen real bad, I am now I’m wearing size 38 from 36.5. Hopefully it will come back to normal after Sage Be sure to shop the NINI NGUYEN collection.
