Maxi Dress Loving + Natural Balance Board

Today's Obsessions post is all about Maxi dresses.  I am a huge fan of the maxi dress.  It is such an easy Summer staple.  Charleston summers are so hot and a maxi dress is such an easy outfit to throw on and look effortless. 

I recently got this Snakeskin Maxi from Piperlime and I am obsessed with it.  It is a great price and such a cute dress.  I have been wearing mine with flats but it would be so easy to toss on some heels and fun jewelry and wear this for an event.



I love that it has a built in necklace.  It also has adjustable straps, so you can make it as short or as long as you need.  The colors are even more vibrant in person.  It is a loose fitting dress and runs on the large side, I am wearing an XS.  This would be such a fabulous dress pregnant because it has plenty of room for a growing bump!



 Ever since I started doing my outfit posts Sterling always wants to jump in the picture with me and I love it:)  Special photos of me and my sweet boy.

A few of my other favorite maxi dresses.

I have been loving anything and everything embroidered for Summer. 


A great everyday neutral dress.

Love the drape top and color scheme.

I love the pattern on this maxi and proceeds go to HIV research.
This dress comes in three fabulous patterns.


I have been all about tie dye lately.  I actually own a few Gypsy Maxi dresses and love them.


Another great pattern-  Can you tell I love patterns?


I am loving the gorgeous watercolor print on this maxi.  It would be perfect for a Summer wedding.

This is a great casual Maxi.

Lastly I want to give a shout out to our good friends who started the Natural Balance Board Company.  I knew Brook in Charlotte and now she lives in Charleston right down the street from us and does a lot of our family photos.  She and her husband started the company Natural Balance Board and it is such a cool product.  It is fun for kids and adults.  It is great for balance, exercise and toning.   The board helps minimize the risk of injury while working and strengthening the core.  Sterling has played on ours non-stop.  I use it often for stretching after I workout.   Check out their website HERE.  If you are local Wonder Works carries their boards so stop in there too and help support a local company and local friends!



It is a great product for surfers too to help with balance.  Matt is a big surfer so he was pretty excited about this board. 
(side note that is not Matt below, it is Brook's husband demonstrating how to use the board) .  So check out the Natural Balance Board, it is a pretty sweet product!
