Let's Make Waves!

 Yesterday's casual outfit. 

The inspiration was from the April 2012 issue of People Style Watch magazine:

I realized actually I do not have a casual black maxi skirt. The skirt i have is a banana republic and more of a winter dry clean material. I decided to do the photo shoot with these chiffon flared pants but in reality I had to swap the mini full skirt (see way below)...

Here is the converted outfit (we were going to the waterpark so I also had to change the flatforms for flip flops):

Scarf - Forever 21

Top - Banana Republic

Chiffon Pants - Asos

Flatforms - Vera Wang for Kohl's

Purse - Chloe

MONDAY:
My friend and I met up in the morning at Legoland to do their water-park instead of hosting a pool playdate at our house. IT was so much nicer than the last trip as this was a weekday and most tourists that visit legoland come for the main park and not the waterpark area. We were very laid back allowing the kids to set the agenda as to where we went and had a ver nice time.
The lazy river was fun trying to hold on to 4 kids just the two of us but we managed.
The time just escaped from us without a watch and we didn't leave the park until 4 PM!
Then I dropped off the kids at my mom's and picked up my cousin and we came home so I could shower and change we met up with my best friend and had sushi in Pacific Beach and walked around.

Below is the lazy river adventure where we had to hold on so the photographer can get us all together...

The Ugly Bug Ball

 This was my outfit today (Saturday) which was a jam packed day full of activities...

 Photos taken at the 1st Bday Party house we went to...

This is a top I got on the sale rack from Anthropologie. The navy stitching worked perfectly with the navy jacket...

I forgot to grab my purse when we were taking the photos but can you see how absolutely perfectly it matches!? I bought this from Target for the summer to use as a cross body bag I use everyday. The fun colors and the tribal pattern looked very fun. Also the shape and the pockets inside were very practical. But today the colors seemed to work just way too perfect with the outfit!

I loved wearing my 'Joey' jacket from the 'Kika Paprika' line mixed up with my other clothes:

Jacket - 'Joey' in navy by Kika Paprika

Top - Anthropologie

Capri Pants - vintage D&G

Flatforms - Vera Wang for Kohl's

Earrings - Webster Miami for Target

Ring - H&M

Bangle Set - Ruche

Purse - Target

TODAY:
Today was insane but a lot of fun.
We started to morning in two teams. My hubby took my son to sign him up for Soccer for Fall while I brought my daughter to gym where we met for both kids' gym classes.
Then we went to our first B Day party. They had this 'lizard lady' come with all sorts of amazing and sometimes scary animals. The B-Day boy was in heaven showing no fear what so ever:

This is my friend the b-day boy's mother!:

That is a scorpio on her lap on the towel and he is petting a madagascar cockroach!

My son was not into all these animals and watched it behind the living room window:

Then it was Mommy's turn to hold the boa:

I was doing good as long as I didn't have the head part:

but then the snake kept turning his head towards me and that is when I started screaming!

What a fun party!

After this action packed party my daughter as we wished fell a sleep in the car. So we kept on driving and ran couple errands to keep her sleeping until we arrived at our next b-day party which was in an indoor jumpy venue. Can you imagine?  The kids of course were not phased and full force. I personally was feeling exhausted. We met up with all our friends and they all had another morning b-day party like us. We all laughed that the 'birthday season' has officially started!

I am sure you can imagine our exhaustion at the end of this day. We came home for nice baths and some calming TV...
