Zack and I recently went on two trips that required us to fly. First time with a baby. We had delayed flights, canceled flights, unexpected nights spent in hotels . . . it was literally a mess. Two things I was SO HAPPY to have with me?? My Sorel boots and my Belle baby carrier. Seriously.
The Belle Baby Carrier was a gift from Shana and has become my favorite carrier now that Greenlea is holding her head up and looking around. It’s small enough to shove into my (already overly full) diaper bag, is extremely easy to put on myself, and ridiculously comfortable to wear. One of the best parts is that G can face in or out . . . so when she’s determined to get her hands on my boobs, I can just spin her around and she’s immediately distracted by people-watching. Perfect.
The Sorel wedges are one of the most comfortable pairs of shoes I’ve ever put on my feet. They withstood hours (hours!) of walking around airports, kept my (perpetually freezing) feet warm, and added some height to my 5’4″ frame. They’re waterproof so they’ll be awesome this Spring when it’s wet everywhere due to melting snow or rain. I love that I can wear them with leggings, jeans, skirts, dresses . . . they go with everything. Definitely my new favorites.
I loved this pair so much that I splurged on another pair of Sorels (on sale/more sizes here!) and am happy to report that these are just as comfortable, warm and waterproof as the first pair. I am not usually one to spend much money on shoes, but these are absolutely worth every penny and they’ll last for years.
Wearing
Boots: Sorel Joan of Arctic Wedge Boot (more sizes at Sorel’s site and Zappos, more colors/sizes here)
Baby Carrier: Belle Baby Carrier
Jacket: Old, but similar from Nordstrom, Banana Republic, Old Navy, ASOS and Macy’s!
Leggings: Similar from Urban Outfitters

We recently bought a second carrier in black for Zack’s bag, but I have to confess I loved seeing him in the cheetah print. There’s something about a man who can pull off animal print . . . or maybe it’s the cute baby. Either way. 🙂
XOXO,

A HUGE thank you to Patty Belt of Pinc. Photography for her awesome photography skills!!
I own these boots and they are my favorite thing in my closet. Wear them everyday.
Not the most awesome carrier unfortunately. The narrow base can exacerbate hip dysplasia issues in babies who are predisposed and will eventually cause a lot of strain on mama’s shoulders. An ergonomic wider based carrier is usually more comfortable for both parties. And face is out is not recommended for lots of reasons, including over-stimulatio of baby and missed nursing cues. The cheetah print sure is cute though!
hey ladies of the mom edit! love the new contributors! wondering how i submit a reader question? unless it’s in invisible ink somewhere i don’t think i see it? thanks!
That carrier is cute but baby’s legs should make an “M” shape when being worn to prevent hip problems:-) You and your man both look great baby-wearing!!!
