That is just how we do it

 Tuesday's outfit was inspired by not one but two looks.

The first one from Asos Website:

2nd was from Bee (Atlantic Pacific):

So the concept was floral sweatshirt with tailored pants and pointy toed shoes…








Sweatshirt - J Crew
Pants - Forever 21
Shoes - Zara
Purse - DKNY
Earrings - Steve Madden

TUESDAY:
Well 2nd week of my bootcamp and I signed up for the month which will ensure I do not flake and might even motivate me to go more than twice a week as the monthly not only saves me money but allows me to go unlimited classes.
It is funny cause before each class as I feel tired from waking up so early and the dealing with the hustle and bustle of getting kids out the door and to school I am sooo tempted to just skip and go home.
But I hang in there and sure enough without fail after the class I feel so amazing and wonder how I ever thought about skipping.
It is such a great atmosphere cause it is more than just doing a gym class in a crowded classroom surrounded by people you don't know and if you were to walk out in mid class no one would stop you and ask why?
But this is a semi private session where the trainer knows all our names and correct and monitors our form the entire time and everyone introduces themselves if they don't know you already.
I just love the dynamics of the class and that it is different every time and the 60 minutes goes by pretty fast without ever looking at the clock…
I just wonder when I will stop being the only one that seems to be breathing like I am dying at the end of each circuit! :)

Bright Star


Saturday night's inspiration was this but I can't remember where I got it from:

Somewhat conservative but perfect for an outing where my husband didn't come but we were other couples…. THere were lots of comments on my 'portfolio' clutch. Guys just don't get this item...



No matter what we did we were getting those white/red eyes so my friend told me to look down! :)

Shirt - Express
Pants, Necklace - Forever 21
Clutch - Asos
Heels - Steve Madden

SATURDAY:
Soccer games and ballet followed by a fun outing with friends for Dinner and a play while my hubby took the kids to soccer team dinner….

All Dressed Up


This was my outfit yesterday during the day. My inspiration was from J Crew's March issue:

I liked the idea of pairing a sweet print top with the tweed blazer. The kika Vera tank in this floral Valencia print and the tweed Carly jacket were good pieces to re-create the look. I could have gone with longer pants but wanted a summery look with the capri's. They have a satin side stripe which make them look very dressy.
 Added touches of neon on the necklace and the purse which picks up the tiny yellow in the tank...








Jacket - 'Carly' in peony tweed by kikaPaprika
Top - 'Vera' in valencia print by kikaPaprika
Satin striped capri pants, belt, pink necklace - Forever 21
Neon necklace - Park Lane
Cuff - Stella & Dot
Heels - Boutique 9
Purse - H&M
Sunglasses - Vouge

FOR the NIGHT I had to swap the top because this top is actually a size big on me and if I took off the jacket it would show how big it was... So put on a top from my closet but I think the tank looked much better. Also changed the shoes to a black and white pair:


 The top is Guess
The heels  are Rock & Republic
Clutch - Charming Charlie's

SATURDAY:
Had a busy morning of running some errands while my husband took our son to his t-ball game then dropped him off at my mom's. I had a work open house the entire afternoon and had a great time styling some old and some new customers. Sold a lot of 'portia' maxi dresses and of course my namesake 'daphne' jacket. At night we went out with my husbands tennis friend and his girlfriend which I had recently met and it was instant connection. Had a great time over dinner.

Silent Night


Yesterday's somewhat retro looking combination inspired by the Ralph Lauren Ad a few months ago:
 I even had a lace top to wear under but it was too chilly so switched it with a turtleneck instead...

This H&M top has cute bird print on it. The neckline is so low though it has to be topped over a top like this....

 Black fishnets with booties...



Top - H&M
Sweater - Gap
Hat, pants - Forever 21
Booties - Steve Madden
Necklace - Cookie Lee

THURSDAY:
We had nothing planned today so fit in some grocery shopping and then spent the majority of the day in the indoor play area so I could work and got so much done.
After we picked up my son came home cooked dinner gave the kids a bath and had a quiet night.
