From LA to Tokyo

Last night's going out outfit was inspired by a F21 look:

This super cool neon yellow trench was a thrift store find and I love finding combo's to wear it with….
And I had no time to do anything with my hair hence the addition of the hat! :)

 Today's (Saturday) combo was inspired by J Crew catalog (Winter 2013):

When I saw this combo I thought my neon trench coat and loved unexpected combo of putting neon yellow with blush pink….

Realized when I open the coat I kind of need something so you will see I ran up and added the neon necklace...

For a day of shopping though I switched the heels with my brand new black and white loafers which were a Christmas present

FRIDAY:
We had a field trip to Ice Skating arena with my daughter's pre-school class.
She doesn't know how to skate of course but she loved getting on the ice and after around with me, with 3 of her friends she wanted to go on her own and asked me to not come with her and if I wanted to take photos to take them from the bleachers! She just turned 5!!!!

After the ice skating we went direct to my son's school to pick him up couple hours early and got on the road north right away. It was pouring rain and a hard drive but no traffic thank goodness. Met my in-laws about 100 miles north and they took the kids to take them to their house for the weekend while I drove the same road back again in pouring rain. When I got home I was so exhausted from driving and all the intense concentration on the road during rain, so I laid down for a nap.
When my husband came home we enjoyed our first kid free night and went out to dinner…

SATURDAY:
Weird waking up to no kids. The house just doesn't feel right without them. We had breakfast then got some chores done and showered and went to an indoor mall that is 30 minutes from my house to meet my sister there. We hung out and checked out our favorite stops.
Then met up with the whole family for a dinner and a movie night.
Making the most of our free weekend….

Tonight's outfit was inspired by a tiny corner photo in the March 2012 issue of Bazaar Magazine:

The satin grey based animal print heels were perfect....

TODAY & TONIGHT:
Had a fun morning taking the kids to see Peter Pan the play at the Jr Theater played by middle and high school kids. It was great and the kids even my 3 year old watched it without a peep. I love that the kids love performing arts because it reminds me of my grandmother taking me to see children's plays every Sunday morning.
Took the kids to my mom's in the afternoon to meet my friend and her sisters at a Fashion event in a local mall called 'Cocktails with Style'. It is just a promotional event but it was all free with free drinks and apps and fun give aways. Afterwards we stopped at Ikea than ate dinner at Ihop cause we were still starving!

Kids playing with the snails after the play at the lunch area:

My son said he was giving the flowers to the snails so 'they can fall in love!'

Here is a different scene from tonight:
