Master Bathroom Organization: Before and After

My bathroom drawers had been driving me crazy for months {maybe even years} and I knew it was now or never before baby to get them organized! Drawing on my own experience with what The Container Store offered, I went over with a few ideas of what organizers would work best in my spaces. I love and good before and after, and I’m pretty proud of how it all turned out, so I wanted to share it with you all! I know that once baby is here, this simple organization will make such a huge difference in giving me some form of peace. When things in my life are organized – I am a more more stable human 😛 Nesting has never felt or looked better 😉

See below for my bathroom transformation and let me know in the comments if you have done anything similar!

Acrylic Storage Containers {click to see all sizes avail}

This drawer was an unorganized tangle of bobby pins, hair ties, hair clips and styling tools. It feels so much better having a home for everything. I actually only used three containers here, but used the negative space in between as storage areas as well! I have found this so easy to keep organized and looking good.

Acrylic Storage Containers {click to see all sizes avail} // Acrylic Toothbrush Holder

This drawer was a catch all drawer – brushes, random headbands, medicine, wipes and q-tips….I never had a spot for my toothpaste and toothbrush so those always just laid messily on my countertop. I use all of these items every single day so I knew I wanted everything to have a home. This new organization gives me all the good feels – I love it.

Clear Deep Stackable Plastic Bin {available here & here} // Divided Lazy Susan {mine is the 9″}

The under counter struggle. I had this giant pipe sticking out underneath so I knew finding an organized solution would be somewhat challenging – hence why I let it get as unorganized and messy as I did! I would just throw stuff down there, close the cabinet doors and pray that things wouldn’t fall onto the floor once I opened them again. A friend of mine suggested I use the stackable plastic bins with a lazy susan in the middle and she could not have been more spot on! The lazy susan allows me to have tons of product rotate in a space that would be otherwise limited. The stackable bins are great too – I even have room to fit more on top if I need to down the line!

a closer look…

Clear Stackable Large Shoe Drawer // Clear Stackable Sweater & Accessory Drawer

This large cabinet was a storage spot for old towels, robes and a mishmash of random beauty products. The previous owners of our home had used this cabinet as their medicine storage and I remember really liking their set up {kicking myself for not sneakily taking a photo!} Anyway, I organized my beauty items into categories and put them into the shoe drawers, and then finally organized our medicine and put that into the accessory drawers. I love how clean and easy {and accessible!} it all turned out. As for the shelf above – I kept these items out so I could see them. They are all new-ish items I want to make sure I use before they expire. It’s easier for me to remember to do so if I can see them.

Lipstick Holder // Large Shoe Box // Acrylic Storage Containers

Another drawer that was such a mess. I just threw whatever in here and it would pile up into one giant drawer of crap. I now have vitamins and supplements, long forgotten lipsticks and eyeshadow pallets, extras of my favorite products {revitalash, mascara, bronzer} all organized neatly into their new homes. I think I could even go one step further here and put the bronzer and blushes into a container but for right now it works! I can see everything I have and if I ever run out of a product, I know just where to find it.

Maxi Dress Living

Jacket: BP. Denim Jacket // Dress: V-Back Cover Up Maxi Dress // Shoes: Ancient Greek Eleftheria Sandal {similar here & here} // Sunglasses: Le Specs Caliente Sunglasses // Bag: Old, similar here

Well, I am well into my third trimester now, and with the temperatures already soaring into the 90s on some days, I am all about finding breezy maxi dresses. I found this one on Nordstrom’s website for under $60 and I knew it was a go. It’s blouse-y, and super long {important because I’m 5’10!} and super comfortable {that’s saying a lot considering I’ve got an ever expanding bump!} With that being said, this dress is non-maternity so it’s great to know I can {and will!} wear this postpartum too! I’ve paired it here with this brand new jean jacket – I had been on the hunt for a great denim jacket for a long time now and this one is perfect. It’s got a really nice stretch to it so it’s super comfortable but its also slightly fitted so it doesn’t bag up. I’m wearing it in a size S and it’s currently on sale for $40! Strappy gold sandals and oversized black sunglasses tie the entire look together for an easy look I’ll wear time and time again this summer.

All these items can be found at Nordstrom in their ‘trend‘ category which has an incredible selection of affordable and stylish items for the young {and not-so-young} crowd 🙂 Let me know in the comments what you find that catches your eye!

Happy Friday friends!

The Truffle Clarity Case Dupe For Less

Y’all know I can’t live without my truffle clarity case clutch – I use them for everything.  For travel, for cord organization, for keeping things organized in my purse….the list goes on. But recently, I’ve been getting a lot of requests for the less expensive version {something I also own and love!} so I wanted to share that with you here.

The original case is amazing because it is high quality and will last. But sometimes you just need the same sort of thing, and don’t need it to last for forever. Case in point: a lot of my mom friends swear by the dupe version for their kids diaper bags. They hold a few diapers, a cream and other essentials and are great for handing off to teachers at school. Also perfect for holding wet swimsuits after a lesson, or collecting trash in the car. I mean really, for $2 a bag, you don’t have to feel bad about these wearing out after a few good months of use.

The dupes also come in a stand up version if you’re looking for a travel cosmetic bag – I don’t own these but they look great and super easy. Can’t beat the price point either.

Hope this is helpful! x

Affordable Maternity Clothes

Top: Chambray Stripe Top {only $7!} // Bottoms: Maternity Poplin Shorts {come in 4 colors!} // Sneakers: White Sneakers {also similar here} // Bag: Round Straw bag {also similar here}

As soon as I became pregnant, I started thinking about maternity fashion. Would I wear ‘regular’ clothes and just size up? Would I splurge on items that could only be worn for a few short months? I honestly didn’t know. What I did know, however, was that pretty soon my jeans were becoming a weeeeee bit too tight, and I needed to find another solution. Enter in the search for maternity jeans. You guys – this is where you all came in! I was only looking at the same designer brands I was wearing non-pregnant and they just weren’t working for me. So many of you recommended more affordable retailers like Walmart and said I should not miss what they had to offer!

Walmart and I go way, way back. Growing up it’s where I bought all my clothes. There was one pretty close to our beach house in Mississippi and my cousin and I would save up all our money and go buy whatever our moms wouldn’t let us wear {I bought my first ever bra there lol} As I grew up, my love for Walmart and the accessibility and assortment of products offered only grew. As a camp counselor in hill country, Texas, I spent many a night wandering around the local Walmart, restocking on portable fans, new swimsuits, and sunscreen. Long story short – Walmart is an amazing place to find a huge assortment of goods, and I’m so glad so many of you reminded me of this when it came to buying maternity clothing.

The maternity section on Walmart.com is HUGE – and I mean huge. There are literally thousands upon thousands of items available, and I actually had a really hard time narrowing down my favorites! These shorts were my #1 though because it is about to get so incredibly hot in Texas and I need all the bump friendly shorts I can get. They come in 4 colors and have this super soft elastic waistband that sits under the bump comfortably. I love the army green color so much, I think I’m going to have to get the black version as well {you seriously can *not* beat the price}. Speaking of price, can you believe this striped chambray top is only $7?! I’m sorry – what?! This maternity top is so cute and comfortable and could easily transition to postpartum life as well. Other items I ordered were these jeans {such a great dupe of my fav AGs!} this nursing friendly dress and these super comfortable overalls.

I think I can officially say that I’m much more interested in spending money on affordable maternity wear than investing tons in something I can only wear for a few short months {or even weeks!}. Walmart has so many items to choose from – what are your favorites?
