Oh, How I've Missed You!

I have to confess that I was somewhat burned out of posting and blogging and all that jazz.  It's been great to take a little break for the summer and I know by the end of it, I'll feel recharged!  Before I go on vacation with my family, I wanted to leave you with some of my summer loves.  Enjoy!

Swimsuit Cover Up

 Isn't this the cutest?  I'm in my swim suit most days, so a good cover up is a must!

Gray Bathrooms

 I really wanted to lighten up my bathroom with a cool tone and this is the color I used!  I love how much brighter it seems!

Crystal Light

 I'm sure you're thinking, "Why is she loving this so much?"  Well, on days when I can't eat before the gym, I put it in my water bottle and it gives me that extra boost.  Or if we're going to a BBQ and I don't want to eat before, I just sip on this! It's the best!

Hats

 This looks almost identical to the hat that I have.  I have so many hats that I could probably cover my entire bed with them.  In the summer I just go to the gym, shower, put my hair in a low pony, and on with the hat! So easy!

Guest Rooms

 I've been finishing decorating our guest room since we're having so many people stay with us this summer.  I love the look of this room!

Monterey Bag

 I'm known for constantly changing my diaper and swim bags.  This one is just so cute!

Victoria's Secret Lip Gloss

 Nothing stops me from getting chapped lips better than this stuff.  It makes my lips so silky...and my hubs doesn't hate it either:)

White Sofas

 Who doesn't love Sarah Richardson?  I love the white sofas with the black piping.

A Quiet Place

 I've been enjoying some quiet time when my son takes a nap at the pool and my daughter is swimming.  Nothing is better than having that space and time to yourself.

Pendant Necklace

 I love jewelry and I'm totally Jonesing for this piece!

Shabby Apple Suit

Such a cute, unique suit!  I love the throw-back style!

I'll miss you while I'm away!

  Keep enjoying your summer!

Sorry So Long!

I know, I haven't posted in a week!  My husband owns his own business and has been working from home due to humongous gas prices.  Unfortunately, he uses my computer, his laptops, and my desk.  So I'm SOL when it comes to actually getting any posting time when he's home.  This is my moment to steal the desk while he's actually eating some dinner!  Muahahaha.  I have spent some time shopping lately and wow, do I love springy, summery colors.  Thanks to the fashion police, I'm well informed on the latest and greatest : )

Kate Hudson

I love pale yellow.  She totally rocks this whether she was prego or not.

Katy Perry

It's Katy Perry, what else can I say?  Only her....

Emma Stone

 

Maybe on a really tan person, I would love this dress.  Otherwise, she's a complete wash-out, no?

Kerry Washington

 

I think Kerry is beautiful.  This dress I'm somewhat indifferent about. 

Beyonce Knowles

umm...is it Christmas?   I hate it and that's that.

Jessica Simpson

I really liked this dress.  It's a cool pattern and she looks lovely.  

Reese Witherspoon

I love the color of this dress.  It's a pleasing color for any skin type and she looks awesome!

Rachel Bilson

Very cute and petite.  I wish it was a brighter color but, it is a feminine dress.

I love to critique Others' fashions, don't you? 

Actually, I'm just obsessed with clothes but, that's for a therapist to fix...or not.

Random Images to Brighten My Day.....

I've had a rough week to say the least.  My oldest child has been losing her hair and we've had Dr.'s appointments, blood tests, and stress galore.  My heart break over her beautiful hair is probably worse than her reaction.  Thus, I'm posting totally random pictures that made me a little happier today! Enjoy!

Say a prayer for my little girl.  I will keep you posted.  As of now, her thyroid is fine so now we have to wait for more tests.  Grrrr....

Enjoy your weekend and de-stress! 

I'll do the same!

Ready For Spring...Clothes, That Is!

I have a habit of spending way too much time checking out runway fashions, particularly past seasons.  But, I really thought Charlotte Ronson's Spring collection for 2011 was beautiful, flowy, somewhat feminine but, with a masculine balance.  Enjoy!

Isn't this dress she wore darling?!  I love it!

Miss Selfridge Obsessed!

I might have spent some serious time on this site....and might have even sent a letter asking if they thought about adding the option of international prices on their site.....Yeah, I'm that serious.
