Lately

Lately…it’s been all about fitting everything possible into twenty-four hours and attempting to enjoy each minute, even if we are surviving on three hours of sleep. Luckily I’m a professional napper and find relaxing part of my DNA so even a little snooze with the bebe on my chest turns into smiles. Getting out and catching up with the real world has played a big part in keeping our sanity. The boy and I have managed to event hop, savour afternoon happy hour drinks, and chat endlessly about nothing with our favourite HK friends without disrupting night feeds or the majority of our precious hours with the little girl. Balance has settled in at an easy pace I hadn’t expected. Lets hope it keeps flowing in this favourable direction.

nothing more cruel than only nine lives

written by ChristingC

All Saints Shirt, C. by Christing C. Capri Dress, Club Monaco leopard print bag, Asos boots, ManiaMania necklace.

After a busy week, catch ups with a few of my favourites, and general perusing around town I’m feeling a significant shift back to my former self. My bursting wardrobe is calling my name, an overfull inbox may be looking more interesting by day, and the promise of sunshine in the near future has me trying on my bikini already. Summer is just around the corner and the boy and I have mapped out a busy few months full of holidays, family nights in, extravagant date nights, and even a birthday celebration.

steady beat

written by ChristingC

Wearing C. by Christing C.

Three weeks have flown by in a blink, as we settle into a new routine and life. I’m finding it surprising that something so unfamiliar and new can feel as if we’ve been doing it all along. We have settled more or less seamlessly with few bumps and have even managed to integrate back into our old lives while merging it with the new. As this rhythm slows to a steady beat, I’m finding my way back to parts of the old me and my way back here to share with all of you.

new chapter

written by ChristingC

That’s it. We’ve come the the end of this evidently surprising, unexpectedly satisfying, and at times turbulent road. We welcome our baby girl to the world tomorrow, and I’m very ready to say goodbye to the pregnancy segment of this story. I’ve learned a lot about myself and my relationships during this enlightening experience. My lifestyle changes have taught me patience, endurance, and responsibility. The boy and I have managed to become an even stronger team than I imagined possible, and it’s funny how easily some things will actually just fall into place. It feels good to say we are definitely ready, with just a few pre-surgery jitters lingering on my mind. If you want more posts about my pregnancy and journey becoming a first time mother, you can follow me on my other blog here where I’ll be sharing all my new mommy experiences.

inner circle

One week, two days, and a few hours until the boy and I step into the next daunting stage of our lives. I’ve been anticipating this moment since we discovered we would be welcoming our baby girl this Spring and am churning with nervous excitement. Planning is never high on our list of priorities, so we didn’t fully anticipate 2014 would be such a momentous year. Despite tearful shock and elated surprise, we have found an easy stride into preparing for our new arrival. Love sprouts so fully and easily, causing us to embrace her presence with every inch of our hearts. Everyone says your life will change, in a forced way, but few tell you how much your own emotions will shift. How much both of us would naturally sway our priorities without force, and so willingly give up former obsessions to ensure her safe and happy existence. A carefree attitude will almost always infinitely define us, but so few know what goes on between the bond and relationship behind our closed doors. An easy feeling that nothing can come between today and forever, mutual praise and respect to always support the other’s triumphs and pick up fallen pieces, gentle kindness and caring through day to day activities and even harder times, and just knowing it was meant to be this way. You feel a million words can be spoken towards you but most of what you truly hear is just between you and him. These facts make it easy for us to not only greatly anticipate her arrival, but the pitter patter of many more. Big families, more love, and expanding our little inner circle.

sunkissed cravings

written by ChristingC

Montmartre Cardigan, Cambridge Cropped Shirt, St Germain Short, Portobello Dress, Ibiza Dress, Brooklyn Overall, Capri Top.

Some of our C. by Christing C. Spring favourites.

The weather is heating up and I’m definitely craving flimsy silk pieces, ridiculously tan legs, and sunkissed locks while floating around the city. So many festival, lunch date, beach vacation ready pieces for the next few months. I know what I’m packing for our month in Europe this summer.

unexplained truth

written by ChristingC

Some of us are lucky enough to discover love. That kind of I can’t breathe without you, be apart from you, type of high. Where a few hours or days apart feels like an eternity, even after decades together. The notion comes with soaring heights of ecstatic sensation and dipping, confusing lows. Your moods sway together, losing parts of your identity while building a separate one as one. Their burdens, sadness, or worries litter your everyday thoughts. The only way to be fully happy is for both of you to be there in that moment. You know without doubts, you will never threaten, you will never think of it because you will never leave. Life can only be complete in this specific way, and for all that comes with the extreme attachment comes the most insane happiness you could imagine. A security knowing whatever outside elements may upset you, you belong to a home that makes you want for nothing more. Those months, hours, years, where both of you float in glorified contentment, revelling in that space and time are what drives your dreams. Those smiles, laughs, kisses, nights make you realise what life is really all about. Why you thrive and fight to live, to make your everyday a better place. Why you work hard, support each other, find ways to never spend moments apart, is to bring a permanency to that happiness. You know as soon as it happens and you will never turn back, and every breath, tear, and smile afterwards is all that will ever matter.

friends for life

We all have a wardrobe best friend. That piece which fits as if it was made for you, easily dresses up or down, makes you magically skinnier than you feel, creates mile long legs, and are comfortable enough to live in. For me it’s all about the denim cutoff. One Teaspoon would be my preference. I’ve been missing them so much through this pregnancy and am hoping I’ll be slipping these on before summer hits. Sunny days would not be complete without sand drenched frayed denim paired with a barely there white tee.

I’ve actually just realised I have never attended a baby shower. Tomorrow is my first and it’s actually mine 🙂 I’m super excited to catch up with my favourite girls and yummy mummies, eat delicious cake, and talk bumps and babies. The theme is pink in honor of our baby girl, so I sifted through my images for a few outfit thoughts. Pink isn’t a colour I usually wear…well not since I was 17, but fashion has named it as a colour of the season so it seems like perfect timing. Such an ideal time for my spring girl to arrive. She’ll celebrate every year with cherry blossoms, pastel eggs, fresh floral scents, breezy sunny days, and fields of wildflowers.

daylight slumber

C. by Christing C. Malibu Slip, Mayara leatherette leggings, Mara Hoffman Cardigan.

The last few days have been a hazy mess of naps and more naps. I’m not sure the final month of pregnancy will be very fun, but I’m looking forward to my baby shower this weekend and seeing some of my favourite girls before I go into pregnancy hiding for the final stretch.

For all those mommies or mommies to be I’ve started another blog for all my pregnancy and baby related posts that don’t fit here. Check it out if you haven’t already!
