Shorts Saturday

 Vest: Free People, Shorts: Reiss Here, Bag: Celine

Wearing shorts today!

Feels like I haven't worn shorts in forever.

I usually hate how naked I feel in them, but the structure of these Reiss shorts kind of whisper "conservative."  That and the fact that I skim by my barely there (as in-- is the same size as the rest of my body) waist, with the vest make me feel a bit more comfortable.

Winter is the New Summer

Normally I reserve my heavier textured leggings for winter. But the thing is, I adore these leggings and think the green and black combo is so beautiful. Adding a summer top, and some light denim to the mix seemed to keep me breezy and summery:)

Fast Look for Summer Weather

T-shirt: Madewell (Here),  Skirt: TJ Maxx, Sandals: Sam Edelman

This outfit was perfect for last weekend...

The weather was quite hot over the weekend.  I knew I'd be chasing the baby and bending over to pick him up, so a short skirt or dress was out of the question, even though we took him to a park on the beach. I just dont have time to worry about wardrobe malfunctions at the park, so I tied my long skirt in a knot so I wouldnt trip over it, and enjoyed the day.

Hey There Crazy Pants

"Hey there crazy pants." 

These were my husbands exact words when he came home to see me in this get-up the other day.

I happen to like crazy. 

If you like crazy too, you can get these pants...

Someone Alert Sorrority Standards

Someone please alert the standards police...

you guys know who you are, the same people who partied with me in college who the very next day turned around and "punished me" for having a drink in my hand at a party, even though you had a drink in your hand as well...I get that you had to follow the rules, but the hypocracy of it all infuriated me. "Ew" is all I can say to the ones who participated the most in that two-faced part of my dear old sorrority days. Maybe you gals really should get into politics...

Beaux, the Hubs, and I Partied ALL WEEKEND  long! I kid you not, all we DID this weekend was party. We went to, count 'em...TWO childrens birthday parties this weekend, and one even had an appearence from non other than Elmo himself. Oh, and we loved every second of it!

Above is what I wore to one of them... I wanted to be colorful and festive but still able to bend down and chase baby Beaux around ALL OVER THE PLACE. The outfit served it's purpose well. 

Thats about all we did this weekend actually, and I have to say...this weekend totally rocked!

Far cry from my old sorrority days!

If I Didnt Need Sleep

Recently I noticed how darn creative I am past 10 pm...

As I drift off to sleep I find myself

1. Dreaming up amazing jewelry designs

2. Writing some seriously amazing lyrics to made up songs in my head...haha, I have no idea where this comes from!

3. Contemplating the meaning of life, and I JUST TOTALLY GET IT!

4. Setting up the next day to be a total slam dunk, I just know I'll be cooking, baking, excersing, working on my jewelry and my blog, all the while having TONS of time to spend with my baby boy.

THEN I WAKE UP...Foggy, tired and confused...what was it I'm supposed to do today? 

Oh well, at least my outfit's cute:

Ooooh, A Day Date

Dress: Lucca Couture (here), Cardigan: Madewell (similar here), Boots: Frye Heath (here)

Ooooooooh. A "Day Date...."

Day dates just might put you in the "friend zone." And we just went on one on saturday when I wore the above dress. 

Luckily, my husband and I ARE friends, and on top of it we dont have to worry about that stuff anymore.  Although, I dont know, this short dress may take you right back out of the "friend zone." I suppose if I really were dating and wanted to send a signal that I liked the guy as more than a friend, this dress couldve done the trick!

As a mom in her thirties I do sometimes wonder if the length of these dresses I love so much are appropriate. I will tell you it passed the fingertips rule, and Beaux is still too young to be embarassed by the length of mommy's hemline...for now.

My dress is even shorter on the model:

Hope your week is off to a good start! Just remember: STAY OUT OF THE FRIEND ZONE!! 

My Weekend WHOAS!!! Aquas & Blues

1 2 3 4 5 6

Since I skipped Fun Finds Friday, I decided to think up a cheesy name for things that excite me this weekend...Weekend Whoas! came about. As in "Whoa! Look at that awesome pair of earrings!" CLICK ON EACH LINK FOR BUYING INFO...

 Wedges - These just look like summer and they are so unique. Not to mention a decent price!

 Aqua/Blue Pillow- I just bought two of these and they are now living in my master bedroom, I love them!

 Bath Bombs - One of the nicest things my husband has done for me lately was to come home with this apothecary jar he bought from bottery barn filled with bath bombs that he had gotten from lush. They feel so decadent and the blue ones are my favorite...they turn the water a gorgeous blue:)

 Ikat Rug - This rug is also in my master bedroom...I adore it and its on sale

 Spike Earrings - I snapped a pic of my club monaco earrings chilling next to my coffee...2 of my favprite things!

 Cut-Offs -If I werent a mom, maybe I'd feel more comfortable rocking these cute cutoffs, maybe when my thighs shrink to pre-baby day size...maybe not, but i still love these shorts!

Elevens and Mean Girls

Top & Wrap Bracelet: BCBG Hereand  Here, Cardigan: Madewell, Bag: YSL, Leather Paneled Denim: J Brand

Elevens (lines between brows for you youngsters who havent experienced this yet) form in your 30's (or sooner if you dont wear sunscreen.)  Mine are visible bc I sadly did not wear sunglasses in these photos and I'm squinting way too much to keep the lines away.

But you know what else happens in your thirties? You become increasingly confident in who you are and what matters to you in life. Long gone are the days of caring about which mean girl said what or did what to you or behind your back. Oddly, I had a dream about a passive aggressive mean girl on my highschool cheerleading squad last night.

How is she doing in her thirties? Who knows and who gives a damn... 

I'll happily take my elevens in exchange for the perks of only caring about what's truly important to me.

Color Pop

Necklace: Anthro, Denim: Frankie B Shoes: Zara Belta: Zara

Today is a chill day, I took Beaux to the park and walked up and down the streets of Santa Monica for what seemed like an eternity but was really just a couple of hours. 

This outfit started off super boring, but my nails and my necklace and shoes kinda woke it all up a bit dont you think?
