Monday blues!

Well, here they are again!  The Monday blues!  I hate when the Sunday blues roll over into Monday!  I am trying to decide what to post and I don't know.  I was thinking about posting an outfit from a few days ago that in reflection of looking at the pics didn't work, but that might just add to the Monday blues. 

So, I am going to post some things that I love!  Maybe that will brighten my day!!!

Key West!!

Matt doing his favorite thing in Key West!

Ada and Ditto

Oh, and I don't have a pic, but I love the Olympics!

Hope you are getting through your Monday blues!

I'm linking up with Still Being Molly today!

Latest outfit!

We are finally getting a reprieve from the hot weather.  A couple of days ago I was able to wear cropped jeans and a quarter length top without sweltering! 

(Do you like Ditto's outfit?)

(Little dog toy made it in the photo)

Shirt: Mysteree (old)

Jeans: Hudson (Beth Crop)



I love this top because of the lace detail and the nod to a baseball jersey!  It also has a nice hemline that gives more added detail.  I have also found that hemlines with a scoop (like the one on this top) create a more slimming look.  The crops what can I say, I love Hudson's!

Have a great weekend!

Ooops!

I tried these sunglasses on and I totally shouldn't have!  Now I really want them! 

What's a girl to do?

Sunglasses: Burberry (Nordstom)

 

What do you do when you find yourself in the predicament?  Do you save your money and get them?  Where does one go to get them for cheaper (they're sunglasses, isn't it common to accidentally sit on them)?  Any suggestions?  A look a like would be fine!  Can you see the stud detail on the frame!  Lovely!

Hump Day!

Okay!  When we were in Kansas we came across this restaurant!  Really!  I Had to have a photo!

This was a very covert operation!  We through the car in park, I jumped out, and Matt snapped the picture from the passenger seat!  Therefore, I look a little disheveled!

Happy Hump Day Everyone!

New!

Fianlly we're having a rainy day!  I have forgotten how rainy days make me really sleepy!  I am so tired!

I don't know why I didn't post this exciting news right away, but on Thursday of last week I got a new camera (Canon T3i)!!!!  I haven't had too much time to play around with it, but here are a few snaps I took!

Look at the detail!  Wow!  These are flowers from our gardens in the backyard.  My husband is the landscaper!  Everything in the back he has planted with his own hands!  He's Awesome!

Have a great day!

Redemption!

Hi everyone!  I hope you had a great weekend!

This past weekend we went to Kansas City to visit my brother and catch a couple Twins games!  I had such a great time hanging out with my brother and I am so glad that my husband and him are great friends!

Going to Twins games at Kauffman stadium are always a blast!  Since the drive is pretty short there are typically a lot of Minnesota fans!  It's always fun to rub an away win in the home teams face!  That's my competitive side talking (too much?)!!

This weekend was also a little bit about redemption!  Three years ago we went to games at Kauffman and had a picture of the 3 of us taken.  It currently sits in a frame on a coffee table at our cabin.  Let me tell you, it's awful!  Every time I see it I cringe!  I was so overweight!  Actually, all of us are looking pretty chunky!  We all worked really hard over the last 3 years and have adopted a much more healthy lifestyle!  I am so proud of us!  Our goal this year was to get a picture is the same spot with us looking thinner to replace the gross one!  Redemption!

Without further adieu! 

Here is the photo from 3 years ago:  Yikes!

Here are photos from this weekend:

Wow!  What a transformation!  Look at me!  Look at my bro (on the right)!  I love it!!!!

Oh, and then there was this guy!

Gross!  That's really his back hair! 

Only in Kansas!

Have a great day!

These Booties are Made for Walking!

1.Calvin Klein boots / 2.Steve Madden boots /3. Maison Martin Margiela wedge booties / 4.Jeffrey Campbell boots, $165 / 5.Stella McCartney platform wedge / 6.Wedge booties, $31 / 7.rag & bone leather boots / 8.AllSaints bootie boots / 9.Ankle booties / 

I know it's not fall yet, but I am in the market for a cute pair of booties.  When I work at Hot Mama I am on my feet for 5-8 hours at a time.  I know that might not seem like a lot for those of you who work in retail, but it's something that my virgin office job feet are not used to!  I had some pretty sore feet last year from flats that were cutting into the area around my big toe knuckle.  My solution, a pair of booties that won't have any seams hitting in weird spots!

I am actually going to be visiting a shoemaker (Sven's) in a few weeks and they may make me a cusotm pair of booties (dreaming)!  That should be so fun!  I look forward to posting about it!

What do you think about booties?  Do you have a favorite?

Have a great day and thanks for reading!
