instalately

RT loves to golf and sometimes i tag along with him. i just chill and enjoy the scenery though .. again .. not sporty .. at all!!

hanging out with RT .. we love days off together

a couple of my sister's children striking poses to show off their ah!may!zing! accessorising skills .. hillarious!!

nails courtesy of sally hansen nail effects stick on nail polish which is basically my favorite nail polish ever. and my sister just taught me that acetone nail polish takes it off way easier than non acetone.you are welcome :)

do you guys have dogs? are they as lazy as ours are? all they do is sleep and snuggle. low maintenance and i like the snuggles so i'm not complaining

last sunday when i pulled up at church there was a fairly large gaggle of geese walking through the parking lot. super random but also pretty cool

GRUB

we are eaters. that is my only explanation

work :)

happy wednesday!!



much needed

let me start by telling you that RT stood out in the rain to take these pictures while i stayed dry under the overhang of our front door. he is good to me ;)

this is the second time it has rained this week and boy do we need it. it is so incredibly hot and dry around here. the rain doesn't look to be letting up for most of the day and the high temp is supposed to be in the upper eighties .. HOLY COW! it's glorious! i am one of those people who adores the rain. i know it is dark and dreary to some but to me it is calm and soothing and refreshing. RT and i might just sleep with the windows open tonight .. something we both love

this skirt is so old that i honestly couldn't even tell you who makes it. but i can tell you that i love it. and that it is reversible. it is purple on the other side and when i wear it on the purple side a little bit of the orange peeks out the bottom. so cute! i paired it with this gemma top that i wear all the time and some simple back pumps by gianni bini. mixing colors and adding pattern but not throwing it over the top.

if you live around here i hope you are soaking up the rain as much as i am .. just remember .. we really need it!!

happy tuesday!!

outfit mash up

back to market again today and i had to meet my boss at 8:30 this morning. needless to say, between my 6am work out class and an 8:30 meet time i just didn't have spare minutes to use taking outfit pictures. instead you get a mash up ..

i think you get a pretty good idea of what i looked like from top to bottom. i did not wear this exact necklace but i did have on a chunky turquoise beaded number so its the same visual effect. i am loving the combo of this super soft and feminine white dress paired with my chunky grey suede litas. the style contrast works so well. not too far in either direction creating great balance. 

i am hoping you all have fabulous weekend plans!! i work tomorrow and RT works sunday so there wont be much couple time but it is the weekend regardless and i intend to enjoy it!!

happy friday!!

to market to market to buy

well not a fat pig thats for sure. although we did see some tops with animals printed on them so there ya go. this weekend is market for the designers to show what they are offering during resort this year. if you have been reading my blog for any amount of time then you know how much i LOVE going to market with my boss. being able to be a part of the decision making process of what we are going to bring into the store is so much fun for me and i am flattered that she trusts my judgement and my opinion enough to want my help. plus .. now we get to take her baby with us. basically it is the best day of work EVER. baby snuggles and a market adventure .. YES PLEASE!! and i get to do it all again tomorrow. can i get a WOOHOO?? {ok ok enough with the capitals}

so .. here is just a tiny bit of what we have seen so far ..
{obviously these are not examples of actual pieces that we saw they are just examples of the trends}

a lot of neon

a lot of leather detailing

a lot of lace

a lot of peplum

a lot of printed pants .. denim and harem the like

a lot of really cute things!!

happy thursday!!

socks

one of the trends that has been becoming more and more prevalent is socks. i am LOVING it! i think it looks so cute and the more I see other bloggers embrace the trend the more i love it. but .. every time i try .. i think it looks kinda weird on me. maybe i'm just not used to it yet. but the other day i was reading kelli's blog and she did a piece for the blog a beautiful mess .. read the whole article here .. showing five ways to wear socks depending on your style. completely obessed with EVERY one of them!!

so cute right?!?


basically what i am saying is don't be surprised if you start seeing me in socks


and .. you should take some time to check out kelli's blog. she has great style .. is a crazy talented artist .. and has an adorable little family.


happy monday!!

lots of acrobatics {it is the olympics after all}
and
lots of good time spent with good friends

happy weekend!

girl's night

janey came over last night and we had a slumber party just me and her. she has three younger brothers and they are all really close in age so when she gets to do something JUST HER it is a really big deal. RT was at work so it was a girl's only night.

her mom dropped her off with me at work and we picked up dinner on the way home. we set out a little picnic in the living room and when i asked her what she wanted to watch she said "the olympics" ha! we played for a while with all of the toys we keep at our house for the kids and then it was time for bed. she got to sleep in my bed with me and we watched a little bit of the princess and the frog before we fell asleep. then this morning her uncle RT brought her some doughnuts and apple juice for breakfast {best uncle EVER!}. we got her ready for her last day at princess dance camp and then headed out. she even let me put her hair in piggy tails which if you know her is pretty awesome. she is a hair down kinda girl.

girl's night rules!!

happy thursday!
