Cupid is in the Air

Im so excited for the weekend. Saturday, after swimming class with Ryan, Hubby and I are off on a romantic evening in Washington, DC.  This will be a nice night alone for us to celebrate Valentine's Day and spend some time together.  We are both pretty excited.  Surely we will miss our little man, but he is gonna be in great care with Auntie Yolanda.

Cupid is definitely in the Air

Monochromatic Pattern Mixing

I still havent been able to determine how to wear this scarf. Its the infininty scarf from eloquii.  The scarf is really for cold weather and I feel like it should be worm with your coat rather than a sweater.

I tried..you got any ideas?

Today

Back to work, I still added a pop of red today. I think the last time I wore this sweater I had on an orange button up shirt.  I think I like the orange better. its looks less like Christmas. but I love the sweater and the fit of these jeans.

Passport Baby

its time to travel.. so that means Ryan needs his passport. He had his passport appointment today. And after the appointment, ofcourse - it snowed. Just a little snow shower.

Mommy was all decked out for "Go Red for Women's Heart Health"

Daddy and Ryan watched me as I took my pics, lol. They were ready to go.

Have u ever ...?

Have you ever seen a store advertisement and said "I have to have that shirt" And then when you get to the store the shirt cost $59.95 or $69.95. And you are like "really, for this shirt ... its a sweatshirt for goodness sake"

Well thats what happened with this top / sweatshirt. And since Im an excellent shopper.. I had a $80 gift checque AND a coupon, so I scored this shirt and two pair of jeans (that I need to sxchange size) for maybe $30 or something like that!!!! SCOOOOOORE!

I really like this top.  I wish I had on a better "foundation" but with the nursing, this is what I have to go with sometimes, lol. But the details are so sweet. Thats what really sold me on the top. When I went to the store they didnt even know what shirt I was talking about.. I guess ppl arent really checking for it.

Another thing I like is a 'Black and Brown' combo.  I also like 'Navy and Black' too (or black and blue).  I remember in High School, I would NEVER mix any of these colors. But now, there is somthing about a neutral palete color combo that I really like.  Its classic.

 This is the bracelet that I talked about in yesterday's post.  It matches exactly the gift exchange necklace from my bookclub member.  Lovely, indeed!

Tonight I get to see BFF Courtney - I have a special gift for her.. i cant wait for her to see it, lol.  OH, and she is one of my "blog stalkers" too. I forgot to mention her along with my sister.. they are funny. They read my blog and then send me emails about the posts.. Cute!

Im just glad they are reading.. And Im glad you're reading too!

Have a Great Weekend!

Get ready to Switch!

So I hear (and see and read) that there is a BUZZ around the blogosphere!!! ...
Google is getting rid of "Google Friend Connect",  [Well thanks Google. You know we dont like change.]
But what does that mean????
Well, if you are following me with Google Friend Connect, You wont get any updates, so you will have to follow using some other platform., ie BlogLovin or GooglePlus, etc. 

I'll send out a newsletter to everyone, because I would surely like to keep all of my wonderful readers!!! (although, I think some of you are stalkers, like my sister, who never comment on my blog posts .. I SEEEEEE YOUUUUUU!!  ..  I still appreciate you and want you to stay connected.)

Here is today's post:
I think I wore these boots everyday last winter.  But this is my first time wearing them this winter. 

 cardi, tank, skirt-LB; boots-Avenue; necklace-gift from BookClub Holiday Exchange

Remember that cute post from my BookClub meeting, well we had our annual gift exchange at that meeting.  I had no idea what I was going to get because I didnt put much on my list.  I know I put lottery scratch off tickets, lol. (I didnt get any).  BUT, I did get some gorgeous jewelry!!! This necklace is one of those pieces.  It has a matching bracelete, but Im not really a matching kind of person, so I'll wear that for another occassion.  But isnt this a gorgeous neck-piece?  I cant wait to wear it with the perfect black dress where it can be properly showcased as the regal neck-piece that it is..

Have you seen this cutie lately???? He is Five Months Old! We took pics last night at The Picture People.  He needed to get his passport photos, cuz we are going to Bermuda in April!!!These pics were an added bonus :)

Plus .. he slept alll night in his room last night!! WHOOOO HOOOOO!! Awesome.. I slept so good, I was late for work, lol.

Orange you glad

Knock-knock
Who's there .. Banana
Banana who? - "Orange" u glad your not a Banana?

So here is another sweater from my eloquii haul. I had to return this and get a bigger size, which I think fits nicely!

I styled it very similar (ok, its the same) as the model.  

I really like the sweater, its light weight, not really a sweater for the cold of winter.  And since its light, it makes for a great layering sweater and transition sweater into the Spring and Fall when temps are nice.

As for my other items:

 They were sold out of these sweaters in my size.. but they sent the tanks. Im going to return them.

And this came in the mail, but Im not sure I want to keep it. I mean, its a nice sweater, fits well. But I never really "loved" the color.  I was trying something new.. and now that I have it, Im not sure how to style it. I know its a classic piece, so I could always were khaki pants, or denim skirt, or jeans, .. any  other ideas??? Maybe I'll keep it.
