Sir Mix-A-Lot

For me to hang onto a piece of clothing for an entire decade, two things need to happen: A. I had to have splurged on the item because only that type of quality lasts over time and B. the item has to transcend all trends.

Such is the case for these bell bottom Citizen jeans. I bought them in 2004 at full price and I remember that being a big deal. I LOVED them and still do. In fact, I wore this outfit on a day of meetings and one of my clients complimented me on them. Kind of a big deal when your client happens to have founded a very well known denim brand. (note to self: always wear your client's denim to said client's office...slaps palm to forehead)

Never let anyone dull your sparkle.

Last month I was invited to preview GILT's exclude shoe capsule with an intimate group of bloggers. You might have seen a few glimpses here and here. Each of us was gifted a gorgeous pair and naturally I chose the sparkle. 

As the cold weather positions itself for the next few months, not even a gray day could dampen the sparkle on these beauties. It was love at first sight. And for many others I might add.

So...ummm...a wish list you ask?

My mom called me yesterday and asked for our Christmas lists. Whelp. I can assure you I am the easiest one on your gifting guide because I keep a curated list at all times of things I am longing for or saving up for. You know...just in case. 

You can never be over-prepared for the scenario in which someone wants to buy you a gift. Never girls...never.

Unwinding at home.

It's pretty rare that our house is quiet. It's even more rare that I have alone time and when I do, it's usually paired with blankets, cozy clothes and coffee. I savor the moments when I can catch up on emails and articles. Those moments of solace make me feel refreshed and perhaps, a better mom and wife.

My go-to? Starbucks® Mocha K-Cup® Packs. It's my favorite aroma. I swear it's better than any candle you can find out there.

Graffiti

I think it's safe to say the days of short sleeves are gone but I am open to the possibility of being wrong. You hear that Mother Nature?

Shot this outfit on one of those autumnal, dreamy days and without any planning because guess what? It's a matching set. All I have to do is pick out my shoes. There are worse problems, I tell ya.

Happy Halloween!

Morning friends! Ironic that just yesterday I wrong about "doing it all" and today's post is just now going live. Oy. #bloggerproblems.

Today I'm sharing a few snaps from our backyard Halloween party last weekend. We invited all of our friends, kids or sans kids, to soak up the 70 degree weather and basically...eat a lot of crap food. Pretty much a perfect day for me but we'll table my junk food addictions for another day. 

Enjoy and Happy Halloween to you! Be Safe!
