One decorating item I have always loved is antique, floral-printed ceramic vases. Growing up in a very Italian home, our house was filled with ones from my grandparents' trips to Italy or ones brought to America when they came. It's a print that is so much more than just that; it's almost a nod to my heritage and reminds me of my papa. When I found this blouse at Marshalls, my heart skipped a beat. It was almost the exact print of a vase my papa had at his winery, and is now in my parents' kitchen. I knew this blouse would be a quick favorite. 
Also, can you see my newest (quickly growing) addition to my outfits? Holy smokes, right?! I bet you're thinking, "didn't she just announce she's having a baby?!" About a week ago I noticed my little bump grew almost overnight. I'm loving every second of it! Espcially because I didn't have an awkward phase, just from my usual self to pregnant- no complaints over here! It's a beautiful reminder that in almost 6 months we will have the biggest blessing of our lives.

Big Star Jacket: Thrifted 
Lace Dress: Plato's Closet ($6)
Scarf: Walmart ($2)
Booties: Forever 21 ($4.99)







Now that I can finally talk about my pregnancy, I’m wearing all the clothes I know I won't be able to wear in the next few weeks with my growing bump. This drop-waist dress was great in summer, so I transitioned it for the fall weather we had yesterday. I added a thrifted jean jacket, a light scarf, and cognac booties. The weather was colder in the morning but by 2 in the afternoon I was so hot! Luckily, I can squeeze in a few more summery looks before fall is in full swing.
Thank you so much for all the kind words about our newest (soon-to-be) addition! We feel so blessed and truly grateful for God’s favor in this. We can’t wait to be parents and to meet our little one. I’ll still be posting the same as before but I may sneak in some updates here and on Instagram (@FrancescaPenko) along the way.

Gypsy 05 Blouse: c/o Marshalls
Paige Jeans: Marshalls
Studded Heels: Marshalls
Necklace: Forever 21
Hype Bag: Plato's Closet





The weather is starting to change, so I know the summer outfits will have to transition to fall soon. But for now, I'm still enjoying summer colors and the last few weeks of warm sunshine. I spotted this Gypsy 05 blouse at a local Marshalls, on clearance for only $25, which was a steal! I'm a sucker for sheer fabrics with beautiful prints, and this geometric stunner was a must-have for my closet.
