Plaid Love
sweater: Target (similar) skirt: vintage (similar) pumps: Target (similar) tote: LAUREN Ralph Lauren |
I found this gorgeous plaid skirt at my local thrift shop and just could not pass it by. It's very 70s and I love how well it pairs with bright colors. Also, it's a midi skirt and I'm all about that lately. I hope you are having a great week and scored some good deals this passed weekend. If you're still not sure about what to buy, check these under $50 gift guides (J.Crew / Nordstrom / Sephora) which offer free shipping!

Festive
dress: J.Crew (similar) pumps: Liz Clairborne (similar) necklace: NY&Co (similar) clutch: DIY (similar) watch: Fossil |
I bought this dress at the spur of the moment. To make sure it fits, I went with the size of my hips (my size is about 2 sizes smaller). It took me about 6 months to take it to the tailor (and an attempt to sell it on Ebay). Thank goodness it didn't sell and I have a pretty dress for any occasion.
I hope your week is going well and you aren't overwhelmed with the amount of food that needs to be made (or eaten. whichever you're doing). I'm scaling down this year - no one eats 7 different sides. By making more of the same, I'm able to cut back on hustle and bustle, and just enjoy some time with my family.
Have a great day and thank you for stopping by!

Holiday Red
coat // (similar) sweater // leggings // (similar) boots // (similar) bag |
It WAS a winter wonderland in our parts last week but today we have it in 50's. That's New York for ya. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining I just would like it to snow for Christmas and then never snow again. Alas, it seems like we will be getting some snow very soon. AGAIN.
I'm working on some holiday make up ideas for you guys and I just can't wait to share it. So excited!

Funny Story
blouse: H&M, jacket: Loft, skirt: thrifted, bag: Kate Spade, shoes: ALDO |
The other day, hubby and I were doing some organizing in our pantry which is downstairs in the garage. We both went down there and talked about doing some spring cleaning very soon and how we should attack it. Well, as we were finished and tried to open the door to go into the house, we realized that we were locked inside our own garage. Jonathan was asleep in his room (thank God) and stove wasn't on but still, it was kind of freaky. So there we were standing in front out own door unable to open it. Low and behold, my smart hubby picked the lock and were able to escape without any further difficulties. Thankfully we were locked in our own garage which has all his handy man tools, although it seemed funny and ironic at the same time. Good thing that funny story didn't turn into anything dramatic.
Thank you for stopping by and have a great day!

A Winter Of Outfits
I had a lot of fun with my closet this winter. Stretching my imagination with things like sequins and hats, freezing in the snow while taking pictures and taking a break in January (only four outfits?). I purchased this coat in December and, although on sale, spend two months' worth of budget money. It was definitely an investment and I'm loving it. So that brought me to not being able to shop for two months in January and February. It was tough staying away from all the amazing sales, especially when they offer free shipping. I focused all my time on decorating the house and organizing Jonathan's birthday party, which was a lot of fun. I had to channel my creative energy somewhere. And now that we are on spring's footsteps, although yesterday we plummeted into negative temperatures again, I'm ready to take out my neons, florals and lose the tights and coats. Which one was your favorite outfit this winter?

Fancy Shmancy
dress: H&M, jacket: Loft, shoes: Zara, purse: Macy's |
On a totally different note, spring is almost here and I'm sending the winter off with one of its best color combinations - burgundy and black. I cannot wait to get my pastels out and start wearing less layers, as well as enjoying the outdoors with Jonathan. And since there isn't another occasion for a fancy shmancy dress up after Valentine's Day for about two months, I'm asking for one (from my husband that is). I love being home with Jonathan but a lady has got to put her fancy on at least once a week. Date night it is.

Are You Tired Of Winter Yet?
top: Banana Republic, shirt: Target. skirt, coat: J.Crew, booties: Liz Clairborne |
The only way to escape winter blues here, in the northern part of hemisphere, is with pop of color. Adding color to everything from food to clothes can improve your mood dramatically. It's also beneficial for your health to eat a variety of different colors fruits and vegetables (source). Why not do the same with your wardrobe? Life changing I tell ya!
At this time in the season, you have probably worn those over sized sweaters and leggings plenty of times, so everything starting to look boring and outdated. This is where adding a little pop of color comes in handy because spring is so close. Also, black + (insert your favorite bright color) looks great in winter, so go ahead and mix it up! You will enjoy the end result and your closet won't seem like a graveyard anymore.
Thanks for stopping by.

My Wild Valentine
sweater: J.Crew Factory, skirt: Talbots, shoes: Zara, necklace: H&M, clutch: DIY, belt Target |
Although, love is in the air, all I can think about is my son's birthday party this weekend. Seriously, since when did Pinterest become the raining king of baby parties? I can't stop pinning and researching one awesome idea after another. It's hard to stop, really. As any Pinterest-driven mother I'm attempting a themed cake all on my own but it's not really coming out, to say the least. After two trial runs, it still looks sloppy and frosting isn't light and fluffy. I may just give up and order it from a bakery. Am I going to go into the Mother's Book of Shame for that? I hope not. Also, I'm looking for a night out from all the planning, cooking and cleaning this Friday night. Can't wait to get all dressed up and have an adult-only time with my hubby. What are your plans? Going out with the crowds or staying in?
Thank you for stopping by.

Favorite Remix
button down: H&M, top, skirt: J.Crew, boots: from Belarus, glasses: DKNY |
I've been working on a very heart felt post for weeks now and it's still not coming to me. It's hard to write well when your major in college was math - what was I thinking starting this blog anyway? Clearly, I wasn't.
The only thing I was thinking about is sharing some outfit ideas for an everyday girl and inspiring other moms to look their best. Trust me I don't always look like that, but I certainly try. Also, I wanted to clear up any misunderstandings about my outfit posts. I wear every single outfit I put on here - whether I plan to wear it or already have. I don't just style clothes, snap couple pictures and then jump back into my pajamas. These are actually my clothes and I do wear them. Now that I got that off my chest, I hope your week is going well.

Thank you for stopping by and have a great day!
P.S. Also, I'm quiet proud of myself for figuring out the setting where you can add different movements to the pictures like snow. Isn't it cute? I thought so.
