Flame & Fortune

 You saw yesterday I wore this same jacket/coat in a very casual combo of skinny jeans and boots and a beanie. Today wanted to show how you can vamp up the same jacket...

The inspiration was from January 2011 issue of Lucky Magazine:

 Obviously this was a very 'lady like' combo but I decided to twist it up a bit!

 I wore a peplum mini with a window pane graphic top and these funky hose I got last year but never worn to really edge it up. The lita's help of course and the yellow necklace adds unexpected pop of interest...

 This hose actually came with additional tie on black ribbon but I wasn't going there..... As it was crazy enough as it is...

 This jacket was so soft and comfy all day long....

TODAY:
Started the morning trying to get our christmas card ordered before heading to my mom's house for a play date/party gathering with a new group of Turkish Ladies I have not met before. Always enjoy meeting new people.
Then came home to rest a bit to find my husband and finished the big TV installation and now everything is working. We tried to try out the 3D glasses but they needed to be charged so that will be for tomorrow.
Then went to a dinner party at our friend's house and had a great night.
And a big surprise tonight when we were getting the kids ready for bath after teeth flossing my son's TWO teeth came off. His first two!
It was such a surprise and excitement. One of them actually fell to the floor and the other one was bent out so I pulled it off. Found the other tooth washed them both and blotted his bloody mouth. Luckily we have been talking about this so he was not freaking out. He actually was pretty excited that tooth fairy will come tonight and he expects two gifts!
Even my daughter is excited the tooth fairy will be visiting our home.

Center Stage

 I seem to be on some kind of aqua kick I realize now. The thing is I don't think about it until I look at the blog history that I have been doing aqua combo's for a few days in a row now!

This one was inspired by a cute blog I have discovered called 'Last Year of Twenty Something'! Not sure if she is going to change her blog title when she turns 30 in 6 months but it is very cute. She had posted this photo and I saved both combinations as inspirations:

 What I liked in the combo on the right was mixing orange with aqua green and pearls and touch of yellows.

The long necklace is from Target's new "Webster Miami' collection which I loved.

The fact that the bracelets match the shoes  is totally by luck!

TODAY:
Had a playdate at our house with a friend I haven't seen in a while so it was nice to catch-up and have the kids re-connect again. We had envisioned a sunny day where we let the kids play with water table but of course murphy's law it was a cold and chilly day. But since we had both already promised the kids water play so we had to give in. Kids really could care less about the weather. And my daughter is obsessed with wearing her swim suits. After lunch and naps my parents took the kids for their Karate classes and ice cream than I met them for a dinner out.
