Spring Fashion- Day 3

Thanks for all the sweet comments! So fun to be able to encourage each other that way.

So today's outfit wasn't super exciting really. I actually almost forgot about taking pics until I was rushing into Target for emergency diapers. So I stopped and made use of their fitting room mirrors(gotta love Target).

Happy Thoughts

These words have been stuck on replay in my heart all day, and it's not at all annoying, the way having a song stuck in your head can be.....


"...He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him." ~ 2 Corinthians 5:21


What mind boggling, heart freeing beauty.



Excuse me while I go do a happy dance because..........HE LOVES ME!!! (and YOU too!!)

Spring Fashion- Day 1

So here it is, Day 1 of fashion week, hosted by the adorably lovely Emery Jo!!! Sadly, two things became abundantly clear to me as I attempted to take pics today. 1. I suck at taking pictures of myself (I am even more in awe of all the lovely, lovely ladies that do this all the time with such grace and ease) and 2. I desperately need a haircut......but anyways, on to the pictures.







Olive green tee-Papaya
Jacket-Fang for Kohls

Spring Fashion Week

">


One of most favoritest bloggers of all time, Emery, is hosting a spring fashion week and I'm toying with the idea of joining in. Being that I'm so, so, so brand new to blogging and haven't even told anyone that I am blogging, is it silly for me to join in with all these other experienced, lovely ladies? Maybe it is and maybe it isn't, but ohmygosh Eeeeeek!!! i think it's just too much fun to pass up!

P.S. argh! I can't even upload things correctly......just goes to show what a newbie I am.

P.P.S. Figured it out!! Yay me!!

Accidental Shopping Spree

Shopping will be my downfall. It truly will. Last week in a moment of earnest resolution (or maybe it was insanity) I decided I needed to watch my spending more closely and not buy any new clothing for the next six months.

My timing couldn't have been worse. With the changing of the seasons I (like any other clothes loving girl) was dying to freshen up my spring wardrobe (and of course it didn't help that I lost about half my clothes in the move):). Ah, and then came temptation, in the form of one of my favorite stores having a huge sale on all the little items I'd been dreamily loving from afar. I should have known better than too even step foot inside, but, being human, and greatly overestimating the strength of my will power, I did. And I didn't come out alone.......







Total with original prices: $180

What I spent: $68

Total saved: $112

So I felt a little guilty shopping when I shouldn't have, but saving that much on stuff that I loved.......exhilarating.

One Of Those Days.......

.......where I don't have it all together (then again, do I ever have it all together? not so much) and I can almost feel myself unraveling. Wishing it was seven o' clock and I could justify going ahead and putting the little man to bed. So so tired and poor B is in a crabby, clingy sort of mood due to brand new toofers coming in. Poor baby.

In other news.......Went downtown last Monday to watch the uncles play hockey at the AAC. Made for a late night for B, but it was awesome, and one late night won't hurt anybody, right?!


Looking cool, focused and professional before the game

Just Me

I'm not even totally sure where I'm going with this blog.....I've been obsessed with the idea of creating one ever since I got pregnant and started reading mommy blogs which led to all sorts of others (fashion, photography etc) that I now follow religiously. So here I am, finally starting my own. Whether it turns into a sort of stories of my life journal, my own fashion outlet, or just a place to post my pictures for fun, remains to be seen. For now it's just me, piddling around with various random ideas as I try to figure out where I'm going. Not much of a start, but hey, you have to begin somewhere.
