Friday marked eight weeks with my girl, and I’m finally starting to feel a little more human.
I’ve spent many a day in cozy sweats, covered in spit up. But I’ve also found a ton of postpartum pieces that accommodate this changing bod, for days when we venture out as a family of four.
I bought these jeans before I had Lila in a few sizes up, and lived in them the first few weeks. They’re a bit big now, so I snagged a pair of these for the transition back to my normal jeans, and I LOVE them. High waist is my new jam, and I love how they’re the perfect combo of stretch and hug.
When I’m not wearing jeans, I’m back in my maxi dresses, and I’ve found a few beauties perfect for fall- most of them, like the one pictured above, under $35.
And if you’re expecting, I can’t stress the value of the Bellaband enough- it helped me in those early days when pants just wouldn’t zip.

Happy Wednesday, friends!
Second week of summer is here, and we are adjusting to the quasi schedule we will have before heading to the mountains for a bit to escape the Charleston heat.
Anthropologie is having a SALE on SALE- an extra 40% off sale prices, to be exact- and it ends tonight {July 5}. So I did the leg work for y’all and shopped it for you, rounding up my very favorites for mom, mini and home. I even snagged a few things for myself, but don’t shhh… don’t tell Phil. Happy Shopping! xx
Happy Friday!
I am by no means a DIY’er, but I’ve been admiring the Liberty of London inspired handles on so many bags for spring that I thought I might try a little crafting this morning. I found this fabric on Etsy for under $10 per 1/4 yard and used only half of it to wrap the handles of one of my very favorite straw bags. The finished project came out SO cute, and gave it the perfect hint of floral for under $5.
By popular demand, here are the contents of my recent spring Zara haul. We all know I need another maxi dress like I need a hole in the head, but these were just too dang good to pass up. Plus, I’m gearing up for the impending South Carolina summer heat, so I’m justifying these purchases as survival gear.
I shared my picks for the J.Crew picks in IG stories a few nights ago, but there are so many gems that I thought it deserved a permanent spot on the blog. This two part post has my picks for ladies and little ladies. The savings are great- up to 40% off- with code GOSPRING. Happy Shopping!

Friday! We made it. It’s been a busy one over here at the Matkovic house with so many fun things coming up that I can’t wait to share. Aside from work, we are finishing up the room refresh of my office with Taylor from Home Taylored- just waiting on a few items to arrive and for the walls to be painted. I can’t wait to show you the color and finish we chose.
Happy Monday, friends!
I hope everyone had a wonderful and restful weekend. Ours was filled with friends and family and lots of great food, and a little bit of tennis. Maddie found her racket, and I’ve been trying to get back into playing before summer arrives, so we decided to take an afternoon to hit a few balls as a family.
I’ve been spending the last few weeks scouring the internets in search of a few pieces for a much anticipated Nantucket wedding at the end of the summer. All the research has wedding guest dresses on my brain, and I thought ya’ll might be in need of some inspo, too.
