Whatcha Wearing Wedensday- Sunshine & Rays

I write this on another day of school closures due to even more snow. It is safe to say that the dose of brilliant sunshine I just had was just what the doctor ordered. Time to get away and let go of the daily grind is always needed. I love tiny trips like this so much because it is often the best time for me to let go of emails, work deadlines and let my brain just go wherever it needs to without distraction. The best ideas often come from these trips. While H was in seminars and break-out sessions I was sleeping in, running by palm trees and reading magazines that were previously in a holding pattern on my nightstand. In other words, total bliss. … [Read more...]

Whatcha Wearing Wednesday- Checked Shirt & Jeans

I might have to talk about the weather again and I'm sorry.  I am so OVER wearing boots it is insane.  I kind of want to hurl them off my back deck right about now.  BUT- it's cold.  Like getting 7-10 inches of snow cold and I need to actually be warm versus looking like a fool, a stylish fool, wearing flats and heels with uncovered ankle bits.  Some say suffer for fashion, but as a mom of three who is very active that just doesn't work. So here we are.  Day to day style. Easy, warm and suitable to my life while still looking put together.  Plus, I got a new 'do that makes me feel like warm weather is fast on the horizon. … [Read more...]

My Valentine’s Day Treats

I'm gearing up for Valentine's Day by buying all the necessary cards, crafting tools, baking items and other assorted goodies and treats. It gets me so excited to start this planning and do these things for others. Sometimes I wish it was ALL I did. Then, I decided to create a handy little cheat sheet (ahem) for me. Because why not? I'm so in love with pink this year, which is beyond bizarre since normally the color makes me cranky, so I'm just accepting it and moving on. This color obsession can't last more than one season, right?! … [Read more...]

Chic & Affordable Valentine’s Day Dresses

When it comes to Valentine's Day all my hard ass ways go out the window. I'm such a sucker for this overly commercialized un-real holiday. Back in high school I considered it my duty to spend the weekend before the big red heart day making Valentine's to deliver to my friends at school. I just loved bringing in some pink, purple, red and doily-filled cheer. Even if the rest of the time I was clad in black and "mourning" something real or not. Yup, that was me. I love dressing in reds, pops of pink and making Valentine's for my girls bedroom doors each year. Let's get excited, whether you are with someone or not because these seven dresses below deserve to be worn and shown off! No matter what! And they are all under $50 so they won't sabotage your budget. … [Read more...]

Whatcha Wearing Wednesday- #morein2014

Welcome to another week of Whatcha Wearing Wednesday! I'm so glad you could join us!! The snow is swirling around in a fast, white mess right now and in just a few hours it will be a winter wonderland. It's January. It's fine. Check back with me in a few days when I'm sick of looking at the ice-capped, slush-fest aftermath. I'm sure it will be a different story. This week it is all about more! More in 2014 (#morein2014)! I'm working on a little project about what I want to do, see and find more of in 2014. Inspired by the Mom 2.0 Summit folks and their instagram #morein2014 project, I've been taking daily shots of what I'm wearing.  I want to turn this into my chance to showcase the fashion scene at Mom 2.0 in Atlanta this May. If you haven't heard of the Mom 2.0 Summit (don't let … [Read more...]
