Life is Short…Buy the Shoes – Page 247

VIVA!

I know it’s been a while since I posted but I’ve been swamped with work, home, life in general with no me time anywhere. And it sucks. It also sucks that I still haven’t found a camera. Husband said I couldn’t get a new one so I’m scouring ebay for one EXACTLY like mine. Ta Da! Mine’s fixed. He actually wants to get an DSLR so I can understand why he said no to a new, slim, easy-to-manage, fits-in-my-purse camera.

Here’s what I’m wearing for Cinco de Mayo. I bought this blouse several years ago at Francesca’s Collections and they are also online. They have are like a little Anthropologie Boutique, with lower price points.

Blouse: Lithe from Francesca’s

Shorts: J Crew

Shoes: Corso Como (last seen here)

Happy Cinco de Mayo! Here’s a homemade Mexican Martini for you!

Enjoy!

A Few On Sale J Crew Goodies

I was able to stop by J Crew on my way out of town today and found some things on sale. Both pencil skirts were on sale for $69.99, the tee was $14.99, and the Nori Jacquard mini was $19.99. The blouse on the left is from The Limited and was $34.99.

Major confession about the mini. This is the third time I bought it. The first time I exchanged it for a 6, from an 8. Then I returned it because I hadn’t worn it. Then I bought it online when it went on sale and with a promo. And I returned it again because I hadn’t worn it. Then today I saw it on sale for $19.99 and took it as a sign that it should be in my closet no matter what.

Whew! I feel better.

Have a great week.

Back from the Beach…

I’m back from our little mini-beach vacay. It was nice to get away and relax but I forgot the first rule when laying out when it’s cloudy…sunscreen, sunscreen, SUNSCREEN. Soooo stupid of me. I put on my SPF 30 the first day but yesterday I told Husband – “I’ll put some on in a few minutes.” Then zzzzzzzz….and 45 minutes later when I woke up I was red.

I am now a slightly-tanned lobster applying aloe lotion every hour. Husband just laughs at me out of the blue. So I’ve kick-started what was to be my gradual, SPF 30+, “tanning” for the summer. But, before all that, I looked pretty cute in my J Crew Vista Paisley Bikini.

Also, I want to send “HAPPY BIRTHDAY!” wishes to Kathy over at Two Hands Full of Daisies. She’s an awesome and thoughtful bloggie friend.

AND, “GOOD LUCK” to Kathy aka JCAUNC Mom who is participating in Atlanta’s 2010 Ride to Change the Future on Saturday, which is a 100-mile bike ride benefiting Ovarian Cycle. Way to go!

I’m off to raid The Boy’s closet for some Spurs gear. We are heading to the Mavs v. Spurs playoff game tonight, the last of our anniversary adventures.

Well Deserved…

I’ve been so busy these past three days and I’m EXHAUSTED! I’m off to La Playa for a few days with Husband to relax AND to celebrate our 10-year anniversary (Thursday). We’re leaving The Boy home (not alone of course) with the in-laws here to house-sit and pet-sit.

I can’t wait to get some sun!

Have a great week!

A Family Wedding

After going several years (10, and it was mine) without a wedding in the family, we have had 3 in 18 months with two more coming up in October and November. It’s nice to be with family and I have a large extended family. Turns out my immediate family is pretty big now too. We filled the entire church pew Saturday.

We all get dressed up, laugh, eat, drink, dance, gossip (I know, that’s bad.), take pictures and enjoy the entire event. It’s so much fun. Here are just a few pictures, including what I wore.
