i love may.

Ilovemay2

urban outfitters woven rug, vilas dresser, liz lange for target maternity dress, quality montessori baby rattle, merrell barefoot running shoes, the marion house book DIY painted baskets.

I've got awhile until I am running again, but the itch is back in big way and I'm going to consider that a good thing. Those running shoes are going to be my first post-baby purchase. That black maxi dress is considered a beach cover-up, but I've worn it to two big events in the past few weeks and LOVE it. Super flattering and great price. I think it will work post-pregnancy too. And that dresser… I think I'm going to hold off, but I'm a fan. Also, do I have time to paint 100 baskets before the baby comes? Because that's a killer DIY.

Happy May.

    Painted baskets sound like a fun idea, I’m a bit dissatisfied with the storage situation in my room…

    Oooh, the painted baskets! I love how they tucked the large ones under the edge of the bed for storage. Genius, playful, and gorgeous. Whee!

    I love your blog and I love that dresser! I’ve been looking for a dresser like this, but I keep going back and forth between splurging for the real thing or trying to hack the 6 drawer ikea tarva dresser.

    Barefoot Merrill’s are an excellent decision. I purchased mine 6 months ago and I am still in love. Make sure to get a fun color 🙂

    And you can DIY a dresser like that! I did! Mine came out a little more gray with the stain but its so similar and probably my favorite furniture DIY. I can give you more information if you’d like! It wasn’t too difficult.

    Well, you shortly will not have time to paint any baskets, so I say go for it!

    Another fan here for the Barefoot Merrills. I originally picked mine up a as travel shoe (because they are so versatile, quick dry and you can slip them on and off) and they were perfect. It’s just a perk that I can run in the same shoes I use for rafting, rappelling, caving, etc. on my many adventures around the world 🙂 (Helps me save on space when packing up my backpack!)
