Saturday!

Today I have for you the perfect Saturday song...



(I love ALL things Kanye... well, most, not his "dealings" with Taylor Swift, because she's my GURL... but I really like these dealings with Estelle)

And the perfect Saturday outfit...

What to Wear: Pool Weekend!

We've had some serious fun and sun here lately (whew, so much better for my mom-ittude!)... today we're headed to the East side of the state for more sun, fun and cousin time for the kids. I'm excited to see my brother-in-law, sister-in-law and their spouses and all the nieces! I hope you have something super fun on tap for today...

Here's some inspiration! (click on picture for shopping deets)

Like it or not... I'll be jamming to this song, face it: it's the summer hit.

a shmish shmash...

This post has absolutely nothing to do with anything, except for what I have been up to lately.

Monday Mania you could call it!

This past weekend I devoted a lot of my free time to being creative... it's the only thing that gets me out of my own head - and after last week, I needed it. I have a little knitting project in the works for my daughter and while I was working on that I had an epiphany that led me on a bunny trail to a new project. That is what I love about letting the creative juices flow!

I came up with the idea of knitting a simple ruffle (which happen to be my favorite thing to knit - so easy and whimsical) and then gently sewed it onto a old tank. Ruffles are all the rage from the runways, to the fashion mags, to our most favorite retailers (especially jcrew of late!). Here's the outcome:

Ta-da...

More ruffle love...

I am just smitten with the outcome! SO simple and sweet for the warmer months!

Next up... a little shopping. I very quickly swung into Forever 21 this morning with the kids in tow... the finds? Not so bad for being half distracted!

model shot in my powder room quick...


I actually couldn't find the exact pieces online (F21 is kinda weird like that)... but the cardi was $24, the white t $6 and then I layered two gold multi-stranded necklaces that were $6 each. The grand total with tax was just under $40. Not bad and it's a great multi-season look.

Lastly... Sweetie Pie Pumpkin Noodle is hosting a little blog party today... my fav Happy-Go-Lucky song by far is Young Folks by Peter Bjorn... whistle with me...


Happy Monday all!
