156 what I wore on the day of the east coast earthquake
Shoes: c/o Threasdsence, Jeans: 7 for All Mankind, Top: gift, watch: gift, round necklace: Vanessa Mooney
You guys. Everyone in California is laughing at us right now. But this is serious.
We had an earthquake that lasted for all of 5 seconds yesterday and I nearly peed my pants in the middle of Walmart. Though whether those incidents are related or not shall forever remain a mystery I'm afraid.
So all you easterners ... as far over as Boston I hear? How freaky was that?
It was my very first one you know. And the first thought I had as I was watching the applesauce on the shelf next to me start to shake was, "Great. Now I'm gonna have to ditch my cart. All that walking around this stupid place for nothing."
Then, after I turned back into a person with a soul, I thought of first my husband and then the bathroom. He called me right afterwards {my husband, in case anyone needs clarification on that one} and we swapped stories. Then when he came home that night, we gave each other extra big kisses.
So glad it wasn't any more dangerous that it was. Whew!
And I guess I'm OK with having an awesome quake story now.

so glad to hear you're ok!
haha... I love your humor... I live in DC too
I heard about it!
Love what you wore, all that for Walmart?! ;-)

This post cracks me up, glad you didn't have to ditch your cart. Yesterday was nuts. I live in Richmond so it was crazy strong here, glad you are alright. Hope you all haven't felt the after shocks we have and they have not been fun.
So glad you're okay! I can't believe that Georgia didn't get hit, too. Golly. I feel like I regularly almost pee my pants in Walmart. For different reasons.
It was quite an experience - my mom was definitely freaking out about me in the city.
Glad we're all okay. And that your outfit was super cute on the big day.
I live in Oklahoma and we had a freak earthquake about this time last year.
When I heard about the east coast earthquake yesterday, my very first thought was "I wonder if Sydney is alright??"
Thinking about you...
Glad to hear all is well with all three of you. :)
Haha! We felt it down here in NC! I'm not sure what's happening lately, but I'm not supposed to experience blizzards, tornadoes, or earthquakes down here...in the last year, we've had all three!
I near peed my pants too!

We aren't laughing here in California! Well atleast I'm not my family doesn't even feel them anymore when they happen unless they are big ones.... Apparently I have a gift of feeling the runway shake. I'm glad you guys survived your first earth quake!
I'm a native Californian and I must confess I was part of the laughing. BUT still... earthquakes are freaky. No matter their size. I don't live in CA anymore, but anytime I hear a deep rumbling noise I brace myself and think "here we go!!!" And then I realize it's just an airplane. It's caused for some awkward moments.
Glad everyone's ok :) And congrats on your first earthquake!

Does 7 for All Mankind make maternity jeans? Are you still in your regular pants? I am so confused? You make pregnancy look like a fashion breeze!
my friend was there on the 43rd floor in her apartment. she was freaking out! glad you're ok!

Here! This might help you have a bit of a sense of humor about it lol! I know it helped me. We felt it in upstate NY!
http://jmckinley.posterous.com/dc-earthquake-devastation
We felt it in Rhode Island, it wasn't anything major but still freaky. It was my first earthquake experience, why am I thinking it was kind of cool? (the experience I say, not the actual earthquake).
You look AMAZING and so beautiful! Love the outfit. Who takes your pictures of you that you use in your posts? I can never get a decent picture of myself because I always have to be the one taking them! Thanks!
im glad you're ok!! earthquakes are crazy things! xoxo jillian:: cornflake dreams
We felt it up in Saratoga Springs, NY!
I grew up in Utah hearing all about how we lived on a fault line and we were due for "a really big one" and only experienced the tiniest of quakes in 22 years. Now I live in Indiana--where I thought tornadoes were the problem, not earthquakes--and I've experienced three quakes in six years. How crazy is that?
10 years ago I experienced a 7,8 Richter earthquake!
It was unbelievable and it did not last only 5 sec..it was like more than a minute!I remember my mom screaming to get away of the buildings (while I was in the yard)..After that for the next 10 days we had small post-earthquakes..The whole village was destroyed and people moved or re-built their houses..
End of sad story.
You look amazing..I'm pretty sure when I'll be pregnant I'll be a fatty fat lady with a huge belly..:(

Gorgeous outfit! I simply LOVE your shoes :)
And I was so disappointed about the earthquake--I never felt it! My neighbors and friends did, but my family never did! Good thing it was only for 5 seconds!
Hope you have a great week!
xo, gina
It was felt in Toronto too, and I don't know what I was doing (actually I do, I was busy watching TV), but I felt nothing! I wish I got to feel the little quake like everyone else..
I heard it was felt as far west as Indiana, and as far south as South Carolina! A few people in my office (in Ohio) felt it, but for some reason, I was oblivious. Even though my cube-mate was freaking out, haha.
Sidenote: You may be the only preggers woman I've ever seen that still wears heels. You go girl!
OMG! I felt it in my office in Arlington. SO CRAZY! I fell off a step stool when I was attempting to put stuff away. NOT COOL. So happy things are okay :-)
Even though the National Cathedral has some damage, but that thing is old anyways!!!
YIKES! I live in a Tornado, earth quake, hurricane free area and am so glad every day because even a small 5 second earth quake would have had me losing my mind and living the rest of my life under desks and doorways. LOVE your outfit. I can't beleive we are the same age. You're a babe.

It was felt here in NJ as well. Crazy!
You are the cutest pregnant lady ever!

I love the title of your post! lol
I heard the epicenter was in Virginia.. Im in NY and I work for a telephone company, so yea everyone calling everyone after the earthquake caused a MAJOR jam over the phone networks.. It was a blast ;)
The Today Show said the West Coast was making fun of us! But hey we do the same thing when ppl freak out over an inch of snow.
But you looked awfully cute for the earthquake!
Where's your shirt from.. or what's the brand?!
Ps. Love the gold watch :)
glad you are ok! love your outfit!!
First off, your outfit is amazing and second, you make me laugh. Seriously, if I was in walmart at the time I would have thought the same thing... I hate that place.
awesomely-awkward.com
Amazing outfit! I'm expecting too. How do you get "regular" jeans to fit? Do you still fit into them or do you use some sort of maternity belt/band? Thanks for the tip!
Well at least you looked this good during an earthquake! I always love the extra big kisses after a rough day.
xo L.
glad to hear that you are safe! and hey, you looked wonderful on the day of the earthquake :)

It was worse in Virginia! My college started falling apart over my head...I'm thinking they are going to need to fix the library now.
A town next to me has had a ton of old, historic buildings condemned. :(
But yes, people all over the world are probably dying of laughter!
i'm not a fan of earthquake either. i'm glad you survived and got to keep your food cart, lol.

Hahaha, ya, pretty funny.
Loving your outfit! How you pull it off pregnant I'll never know. You look awesome!
Yeah supposedly it did hit us here in Boston but I didn't feel a thing...maybe growing up in California has made me immune to earthquakes ;) Glad everyone is ok!
I'm in NY and we got it up here, but I didn't feel it at all because I was too wrapped up in my book. Typical me.
North Meets South
i didn't even feel it! kind of crazy though so much for us never having one! you look adorable love this outfit!
http://kc-citystyle.blogspot.com/
I didn't feel anything and I'm a few states over.but other people felt it.I feel deprived :( I love your outfit and the shoes rock!!!!!Sierra
Keep Growing Beautiful♥ (Cause You Are!)
Such a creepy feeling! Glad you and the little one are okay and you made it to the bathroom!
XOXO
So glad everyone is ok! You look so adorable with your little bump. Love those jeans!
Yeah growing up in California I can tell you that I peacefully sleep through earthquakes now. Haha. I'm glad you are okay and weren't too traumatized.
evianenoel.blogspot.com
we felt it in Ohio. I thought I was lightheaded from standing up too fast lol.
Glad to hear you and the bump are ok. I live in Charlotte and we felt it here... our building shook while i argued with my cube neighbor that it couldn't possibly be an earthquake... ya i lost that one.. I LOVE that blouse... and thank goodness you didn't have to ditch your cart that's happened to me and i spent the whole day grouchy...
Oh gosh! So glad you are ok and nothing worst happened. Love those booties girl!

Hello!
I'm glad that everything was just a scare.
I really like your blog, congratulations on your pregnancy, I have a baby of 5 months, I am new mom.

I'm okay with the earthquake. My fiance got to come home from work early (all the systems were down at his work because of it) and hang out with me. Yay! Glad you, baby and husband are safe though.
Such a great shirt!

I live in maine, and about 15 minutes from my house where my sister works, one of her coworkers felt it a little.
and all of my family in MA felt it. my sister said she was on break (same sister in maine) and facebook "exploded"
your belly is so cute!! where do you live? i thought you lived in DC??
nice story!!!haha being from calif... i was the one telling everyone at work: its an earthquake as I stood in the doorframe of my office... glad you guys are ok-and at least you looked good during the quake :P
Loving your ombre hair - it suits you so well and is the best of both worlds!x
You know, it was my first earthquake, too, and I didn't feel a darned THING! But it's been all over the news, with stories of people "fearing for their lives", and I'm sitting there like "we had an earthquake? When?!"
Sad, but true.
You are so gorgeous! Love your baby bump...makes me want one :) haha!
And I'm so glad noone was injured from that quake!
It was crazy! Image being 8 months in the office on the 4th floor and people start running! What do you do!? RUN! lol.....
Also I am in DC I hear we felt it the most!
Glad you guys are safe! I've felt a tiny earthquake before and as scary as it is, it's also pretty freaking cool to feel at the same time!
P.S. Could you please please please please PLEASE explain how you got your lovely ombre hair? Or what you told your stylist to do? I love your hair so much!
Xoxo,
Sara
that top is adorable :) im from cleveland, barely felt it!
You're the best.
I was too busy highlighting and color-coding my calendar to notice it up here in Boston. People are definitely overreacting up here. It's getting old.
It was pretty scary! I didn't know what it really was until my bed was literally moving away from the wall and my photos were all falling off the walls. My poor puppy peed on me because he was scared. SO glad it wasn't serious though! and you're right- now we have cool "earthquake survivor" stories :)
What a cute earthquake, ummm, top! Love the lace detailing ^^ x
Wow! That's scary. I'm glad you were okay. You look so cute pregnant.

love your outfit! glad y'all are safe- i have family on the east coast too (that's where i'm from)
yep, laughing over here in CA. actually there was a segment of NPR devoted yesterday to the specific task of laughing about this. rude? maybe. funny? yes.
i feel like that would have been my first thought too. and you are making pregnancy look better and better, missy.
Wasn't it crazy! I live in NYC and we felt it for a few seconds too! So different than anything I ever experienced in my native Idaho!

we're not laughing at you! we just don't get that shock and awe from a quake anymore. so it's interesting to see it/hear it from you non-quake riders. :]
I'm glad it wasn't worse and that everyone's okay. At least you looked pretty darn good during it.
We felt it all the way in Toronto - earthquakes suck!

I would have had the same first thought, I swear. Grocery shopping isn't on my list of super fun things to do! It made me laugh when you wrote that because I felt an immediate and complete understanding :)
So stylish and so cute at Walmart you were!!! Being on the West Coast we get them a lot but I can imagine how scary it was for the first time! For the first time I was calling my East Coast friends instead of them calling me!!! Glad you're ok!!! What are your rules for relaxing on vacation? :)

i'm from CA but live in VA now, so it reminded me of home :) love your outfit and that you're still in regular sized clothes! i'm not nearly as far along as you and have already outgrown my clothes!
glad your ok! I live in Ca so they freak me out bc we've had huge ones before!
I don't know how you still fit in regular jeans and wear those shoes! you must be super tiny! I'm 32 weeks and live in flip flops:) no jeans for this prego lady either, even cute maternity ones are uncomfortable!
didn't you move out there at the right time?! I'm from CA and actually just moved out of DC recently so I have lots of CA friends out there right now... they seemed to take it better than the rest of the city

We felt it here in Philly- out whole building shook for 5 seconds- it was weird- I felt it through my body cuz my hand were on my computer desk. It was my first quake too- and I'm glad it was nothing big. You guys are in DC so must've felt it much more. Just glad everyone's ok!
Oh you look so beautiful :) young and pretty mommy ;)Please visit my blog and if you like it become a member ;) it would be a great honour for me <3 i already follow you ! And i really love your blog ! Xo nadine from ballerinasbun.blogspot.com
you put that instead of than...sorry just had to comment
I'm not laughing... :) Honestly, I may be "experienced" in earthquakes, but I would literally pee on myself if a hurricane came out west...so, there ya go.. :) at least you looked cute :)
happy to hear you are safe :) I am from Cali and let me tell you, I have felt many many earthquakes, &it you don't ever get used to them, each one will kind of freak you out, no matter how big or small they are!
I'm in CT and apparently everyone but me noticed the earth shaking except for me!? I didn't even know about it until my boyfriend called from mississippi and asked if I was okay. I feel like I seriously missed out on a historical event?
This outfit is adorable! Do you really wear heels all day? Or is it just for outfit pics? If you do, props to you!
I'd be so so scared. Love the top lovely lady.

Haha I live in Alaska. We get earthquakes quite a bit, but I remember one time while working at the funeral home we had a really bad one and urns almost fell off the shelves while a family was there! How terrible, right? Also, that outfit is to die for! You have got to be the cutest pregnant woman I have ever seen!
Your shirt is really cute! I was hoping you would share about the earthquake. Thanks
http://www.afoolforfashion.com/
You look so cute, each time I am surprised to how cute and not even maternity looking... why? I shouldn't be at this point, rocked it once again. Ps. How weird was that earthquake?!
I'm in Northwest DC and it terrified me! They evacuated our dorm buildings and it knocked cell service for a good hour so I couldn't get in touch with my family. It was really scary.
i am glad everyone is ok
i've never experienced one
and not looking forward to it either
:) by the way .. i love your
outfit.. your ankle boots
are very stylish .. props to you
for being pregnant and wearing
heels!!

LOVE the outfit! FABULOUS!
Glad you are okay! I am sure it was a little scary to experience your first earthquake. Your pics from your shoot with Geri and beyond perfect. So special you captured this wonderful time!
You look so pretty! I love your heels

Girl we felt it all the way here in Toronto! Crazy, huh?
Syd,
Sweetness, I am in Raleigh, NC and I felt it. I was at work and my co-worker was all "Someone must be running" and I'm like "NO one in THIS office runs that hard for THAT LONG!!" Freaked me out, honest to God. So I'm right there with ya hunne. It was my first quake and we weren't able to help our members here at our bank for freaking out so much.lol Good story for crazy times!! Glad all is well. We're getting Irene here this weekend so YEAH! Great week for me... SIKE!!lol smh

glad to hear you're ok! and i love those shoes! what a combo....earthquakes and shoes...
p.s. i'd love to learn how you styled your hair from the lipstick post, the side swept bang looks amazing!
I live in cali and we may have them often but they still freak me out...Im glad you n baby are doing fine...You look so pretty by they way =)
I am new over here to your blog and I must say, I am just amazed with how great you make pregnancy look!! Wow! you look beautiful.

You look so beautiful!
you look so pretty!! you are glowing :)
I kid you not my first thought was how terrifying this would have been had I been in walmart! Gosh I cant imagine- its pretty freaky right? it takes a few seconds to figure out what in the world is actually happening!
Not laughing... giggling madly, maybe. *grins* As a native San Franciscan, earthquakes are the equivalent of roller coasters to me, but I totally understand that if it's your first quake, it's a big deal. Glad you're okay! <3

You never fail to make me laugh!! My aunt, uncle and cousins live in Fredericksburg, VA and they were boating on Lake Anna when the earthquake happened. I guess there's a nuclear plant near Lake Anna and the sirens went off and everything. Crazy!! But so glad you all are okay!
Im from Christchurch, New Zealand and we have been experiencing aftershocks everyday for almost a year now. It feels a little strange when there hasn't been an earthquake in a few day!
So happy to hear that you survived your first earthquake!!!
I love your outfit btw. It's super cute. :o)

Heehee, I love your retelling of The Earthquake Story! Agreed: glad everyone is safe.
friends in new york felt it!!! & supposedly it made it down where i am in charlotte, but i didn't feel it here. i was driving, so maybe that was why?

Aww look at your beautiful bump! Im 17 weeks preggo and am so excited to get a bump xx
I'm loving the jewelry! As a Californian, it's so weird to me hearing about people's first earthquake experiences but glad you are all okay!!!
http://dreamingenfrancais.blogspot.com/
Well, during all of the earthquake madness, at least you looked fabulous!!!!
I'm in upstate NY and felt it here too!
i love your hair, so gorgeous.
Sheesh i'm so thankful it was a quick one!! i live in DC and a couple of things fell off my walls, but nothing major- thank goodness!
You are seriously the cutest person. Your humor cracks me up. I always giggle to myself whilst reading your posts. However, the people in the library do not approve, I'm afraid. I am currently getting death stares. oh well, its worth it. :)
Dana Michelle@theabundantlife
I read a friends tweet on this (she's in NYC) and thought... that can't be right... an earthquake in the city??? Glad it was a little one and everyone is ok... though I ust say I'm a bit jealous I missed it (I now live in London)... missed last winter's crazy snow storms too! JB.

How are you the hottest pregnant lady ever?
i'll say it again you are the cutest little prego ever!! i love that top the ruffles on the sleeve so darling!
In Boston over here and couldn't stop laughing when I saw a picture of the earthquake aftermath: a perfect white table with one chair tipped over :)
New follower to the blog- this outfit is so cute and you're gorgeous!
I felt it all the way in upstate NY! Glad you, Tyson, and Little One are OK!
We felt it in SC too! Seriously crazy!! Glad you're okay!
I've always wondered, so I'll just ask- why do so many people type out the url of their blog at the bottom of their comment? Their name is already a hyperlink to it when they comment, so typing the blog address at the bottom always makes me feel like it's a spam-my comment... I notice it a lot on lifestyle blogs like yours, but not on other blogs I read that aren't so fashion focused, so is it just a lifestyle/fashion blog thing? I'm genuinely confused, because most of the other blogs I read it's considered kind of gauche to promo one's blog like that. I might just not understand the culture.
Such a wild day! I work in DC and didn't miss a second of it!

well i'm from Chile so i was funny to see the news how people called 911. I'm used to "earthquakes" or tremors, In chile a 5 sec 5.8 earthquake we call it a tremor. but i'm glad you're ok!!
It's okay if the west coasters laugh! We laugh at L.A. when they cry about a little rain! Earthquakes = scary.
I'm in Kentucky & we felt it here too. I initially though that my washer was off balance LOL! It wasn't until I heard the dishes in the cabinets rattling that I actually figured out what was going on. At least you looked amazing the day of the Quake!
perfect hurricane outfit! ;) glad everyone's ok and it wasn't bad :)
perfect hurricane outfit! ;) glad everyone's ok and it wasn't bad :)
Glad you are safe and sound! people apparently felt it in Toronto Canada. I didn't feel it though!
my lord you are adorable...
and I'm in TN and we heard about it here! CRAZY - next thing it'll be here in the south - crazy weather - crazy news - glad you're ok!

I live in southern VA so I felt the quake, too. I ran outside convinced the house was going to fall down. In the mean time, my mom ran dowstairs to turn the washer off because she thought THAT was what was shaking the house (and the yard?)...until she got a phone call from my grandparents in D.C. asking if we felt it. haha. Supposedly a lot of people thought it was their washing machine. I'm glad I wasn't where I've been most of the summer - on the 8th floor of the Discovery building in Silver Spring Maryland! Glad you survived our freak east coast earthquake!
http://2ndhandknowledge.wordpress.com
I bet that was a scary but a new and exciting experience. And can I say you are THE MOST STYLISH pregnant woman ever. So beautiful!!

I live in New Brunswick, Canada and we had the earthquake tremors here. It's crazy how far those things travel. It knocked out our downtown's power.
Such a cute outfit! So happy you're both doing great!
the outfit you picked for the day of the earthquake is pretty sticking ADORABLE! cutest outfit while pregnant in an earthquake award definitely goes to you. ;)
http://bywayofney.blogspot.com/
I was in Fairfax and it lasted a lot longer than a couple seconds where I was - I would say around a full minute. My aunt in Centreville only felt it for a couple seconds. It's funny talking to people in the DC area how different little pockets felt it more or less all within a short radius of each other!
Hey, are your 7 for all Mankind jeans maternity jeans? I've been toying with the idea of getting some. Let me know please!
melodyepellegrin@gmail.com
pahahaha!
I love your hair :) its beautiful.
http://stylebutton.blogspot.com/ x
1. This outfit is ADORABLE!
2. We felt the quake here in Pittsburgh too!
Sydney, I love those shoes! Now I just need to learn how to walk in heels....
So I 100% need those shoes & they are sold out. Boo. Any chance you know the brand? PS so glad those yucky quakes didn't getcha...I have lived in California for 2 years now and when I felt my first earthquake I thought I was going to pee my pants...scary!
Ah, I always love your outfits, I have never been in an earthquake, but I think it must be pretty scary.. Good to see you are all okay!
I love your posts! You make me giggle every time :) Glad you guys are all OK. And I looooove your outfit. When I have a bubba in my belly, gosh, I hope I look as lovely as you! x
I had just gone outside to take a walk at work. I'm currently 22 weeks preggo, and at first I thought "crap, I'm passing out! I need to sit down." Then I saw the metal warehouses all around swaying and the cars rocking back and forth on their wheels. Then everyone ran out of the building.
But bigger questions - are you still wearing AND buttoning regular pants and you're farther along than me?? Please tell me no.
cute, cute shoes! i hope you're enjoying my city! can't wait to be up there! :)
