I nearly freaked out when I discovered this giant mural in the Highland Park area of Los Angeles, which was so large and varied that I may come back for another shoot later in this photo series. The Aztec calendar portion was the perfect compliment to the primary colors in my vintage dress, don’t you think?

Each week I’m growing a little bigger, and ever more thankful for the healthy collection of knit maxi dresses I’ve collected over the years. This ensemble is a little more special than previous weeks only because I’m sporting the desert photo top I designed last year for Hi! Expectation’s spring 2013 collection. The photographic landscape and lack of color make it the perfect top to throw over a brightly printed maxi dress. Mixing prints is where it’s at. And let’s be honest – it always feels good to be able to wear one of your own designs.

This week marks the halfway point of my pregnancy, and I’m enjoying what’s generally billed as the easiest part of this crazy ride. The nausea has subsided, I’ve got a surge of energy lately, and it’s exciting to explore the forgotten depths of my closet as my belly continues to grow. All I can really say is that my life long addiction to knits is really paying off, and it’s possible I might make it all the way to the end without buying any proper maternity clothes.

Once again we returned to the Arts District in downtown Los Angeles to shoot against one of the many painted walls you can find in that neighborhood. The weather was gorgeous, and so sunny that I couldn’t even remove my sunglasses to take a decent picture. My bump is still pretty small here, and probably looks more like a beer belly to those who don’t know me, but I’m super excited to see it growing.

Here I am in one of my all-time favorite dresses, shot across the street from one of my favorite coffee shops in Eagle Rock, The Coffee Table. The dress is from the vintage section of the Topshop flagship store in London. That place is like heaven on a stick, I wish it was all available online for the non-local peeps.
