Layered Cake

 What I wore to a luncheon my mom hosted at her house for a big Turkish group of ladies...

My inspiration was J Crew's recent catalog cover:

I fell in love with this taffeta mini gingham check prada skirt at a vintage clothing store years ago. And had to have it even though it wasn't in style and wasn't sure what I would wear with. I just knew it has major potential...
And now it is totally in style...

 Top - Forever 21

Skirt - Prada

Sandals - Target

Sunglasses - Alexander McQueen

Earrings - Baublebar

SUNDAY:

Before we left did a mini photo shoot with my little princess...
She wanted to dress 'cool pretty' and not 'cute pretty' and the outfit had to allow her to do her newly mastered kick over moves!

So we picked this romper with the white denim vest she picked out herself and the white sunglasses and matching white sandals like mommy's...

Whatever Floats Your Boat

THURSDAY & FRIDAY:
The only main thing I can remember we did on Thursday was going ice skating in the afternoon.
Friday we had a big playdate at small beach by a ferry boat bridge overlooking our beautiful city's skyline…

My mom came to join us...

Witch's Brew

My Halloween colored outfit today was enhanced by these photos from pintrest I think….

I used the pieces of the bottom photo and the colors of the top photo to create this outfit: 

 I am loving this three tiered cookie lee necklace I got recently….

For the party I was going for my daughter needed to wear a witch hat and got this at Vons yesterday when I was buying pumpkins….

SUNDAY:
I didn't really wear an outfit on Sunday but we had a fun day attending the Harvest Festival at the elementary school farmer's market then the family came over to carve pumpkins and have dinner together….

 I tried to carve this Elsa design on the pumpkin for my daughter. I need to work on the face more to create more openings for the light to come thru….

MONDAY:
Started working out so lets see how it goes and if I can keep it up. I am thinking the goal would be 3 to 4 times a week to keep it realistic.
In the afternoon with the help of my mom and stepdad was able to do multiple events for the kids. My stepdad stayed with my son and took him swimming while I took my daughter to her friend's Witch Party at the park where my mom met me so I could leave them there and make it to my appointment…

Got to see them make their Witch's brew before I left though….

My friend who hosted the party has started a great company for kids birthday parties called:

My mom looked so awesome in this very quickly put together all pink witch costume!
