SUNDAY BITES 0019
IN MY CART, DRESSES UNDER $300, PREGNANCY LOOKS, THE ROW AND A MOM BAG
What a week! How are you all doing?
I feel like we finally sorted out our will, which, let me tell you, was no easy feat (more on that soon). But hey, at least now if we both tragically go down, we know exactly where the kids land and all our ducks are officially in a row. Morbid? Sure. Necessary for my anxiety? Absolutely—because Virgo!
Can we talk about how much this week's mom-group essay resonated? Honestly, shocked. I was fully braced for backlash and being labeled as the friendless loser (or worse, anti-feminist), but it turns out I’m not alone in craving friendships without the exhausting strings attached. Maybe we should start our own mom group, one with zero expectations: it’s perfectly acceptable to text back a week late (or never), group texts aren’t mandatory, talking behind each other's backs is banned (no matter how therapeutic it might feel), and it’s totally fine if your kid is the feral one in the bunch.
Also, did you notice we updated our logo and icon? What do you think? I genuinely can't believe it's already been 2½ years—time flies when you're having fun (and mild anxiety attacks). Stay tuned for some exciting website updates coming your way soon!
WATCH: OVERCOMPENSATING( its growing on me mainly because I’m obsessed with Hailee)

AI AGENTS EMERGENCY DEBATE (Yes, the title is extra dramatic, but it’s actually brilliant—especially the bit about education’s future.)

This week, we’re shaking things up a bit. I've included some of your shopping requests (honestly, loving them—keep 'em coming!). I want Sunday Bites to be more you than me, so send advice, emotional breakdowns, shopping dilemmas, and all the budget challenges my way.
So, without further ado… happy shopping!
IN MY CART
THIS is your summer MVP dress, serving The Row without the price-induced panic attack.
THIS necklace is under $100—literally sprint.
Obsessed with Lara Sonmez right now, and these bangles? Perfection.
Eliou doing RTW is exactly what my summer needed—this set has me sorted.
Park to brunch to everything else, these pants are the move.
Okay, how cute is this dress?
These jeans are on sale, and yes, you do need them.
I know this Alaïa bag isn't breaking news, but how dreamy is this pistachio green?
DRESSES 200-300

NON BASIC PREGNANCY FRIENDLY DRESSES
I'm working on a story about maternity dressing- because if you know me, you know I LOVE a pregnancy look.
Lets be clear, Pregnancy is your wardrobe’s main character moment. Lean in, babe. More curves? Excellent. More volume? Even better. More permission to wear whatever the hell you feel like? Exactly. Whether you’re highlighting your newfound shape with figure-hugging dresses (hello, hot mom energy), indulging in the drama of deliciously exaggerated silhouettes, or embracing quirky, unexpected cuts, maternity dressing should feel playful, rebellious, and delightfully unapologetic. Because growing a human is pretty major—your outfit should be too.
In the meantime, here are 4 maternity dresses that say “I’m pregnant, not boring.”
MOM-FRIENDLY BAGS (that don’t scream “mom bag”):
This Polène beauty is living rent-free in my head—truly.
This one? Chic as hell, and the price won’t send you spiraling.
Remember this striped bag I wouldn't shut up about? It's on sale now—run, don't walk.
As we say in Spanish, this bag is todo terreno: tough enough to withstand even your most feral child.
And this one...well, this one's for the chic mom I'm manifesting myself into becoming.
THE ROW EDIT

If this made you laugh, nod in agreement, or immediately think of someone who needs to read it, go ahead and tap that little heart—it helps more people (including the lurkers) find this.
Oh, and just a heads up: some of these links might earn me a small commission. So if you were already about to impulse buy, consider this your official sign from the universe (and a tiny win for me).
For more questionable takes and semi-useful life insights, come hang out on Instagram—follow me @victoriadela_fuente for behind-the-scenes nonsense, and while you’re at it, give Zillion Trillion a follow too. Because let’s be honest—your feed could always use one more mildly chaotic account.








Love this edit want to buy it all!!!
