Greetings from Colorado!
If you’ve been following along on Instagram, you may have seen that Doug and I took a quick weekend trip to the Rocky Mountain State this weekend. The initial pull was for a work project (look for more soon!), which we decided to also turn into a little babymoon while exploring one of our favorite states and visiting my step-brother and his fiance.
We’ve packed a ton into just two days here, and I can’t wait to do a trip recap post and share all the amazing recommendations/things we did with you! But, in the meantime, I’m overdue for The Charming Roundup: V10. I’ve been collecting lots of great links from the past few weeks, and because of the timing of the year they’re primarily about living your best life in 2020. So, let’s call this the Starting 2020 Right edition, shall we? Here we go!

Top wearable fashion trends of 2020. Thought this video was well done and right on target with her trend suggestions! (If you’re looking for a great polka dot find, I saw this in store recently but it wouldn’t fit over my belly, ha!)
Crushing on the Marilyn Pleated Wrap Dress and thinking I may snag this to wear for when baby is here + The Pleated Midi Wrap Dress I wore in our pregnancy announcement is now available in plum and blue. Love this dress – it’s so flattering!
Have been ALL ABOUT my Everlane Oversized Blazer + Sezane Sarina Blazer lately. They’re the perfect pairings to make simple jean-and-t-shirt outfits instantly more stylish, and I love that they still work while pregnant! Look for more to come soon – I’ve got some fun outfit posts in the works featuring both of these items!
