In the Navy

 My outfit tonight to my hubby's work friend's dinner party...

Wearing all Kika Paprika pieces and I am loving this cream and navy combination.

This Jacket is so comfy cause it looks tailored but the waist and under arms are cotton so I kept it on the whole night. The skirt was stretchy so that was also very comfy to sit in....

TODAY:
Started the morning splitting up tasks. My hubby took my son to soccer game while I went grocery shopping with my daughter. we met at home and drove east to a big Pumpkin Patch we go every year to meet my Dad and my brother and his family.
Kids loved running around the huge field of large pumpkins. There were attempts to push, move, kick and climb them.
We had lunch and did some activities then drove the kids to my mom's to drop them off for the night and came home to go to our dinner party.
Busy but nice day...

Funky Girl

 This fun layered outfit was inspired by a cool blog I found fairly recent called 'Fashion In Da Hat':

Of course I realize now I forgot to wear my hat that is just like this but then again I was at home and that would have been weird to wear a hat in my own home. 

I used the idea of fun graphic tee and layers of plaid shirt and cardigan. The polka dot hose layered with knee high socks and booties were also cool inspirations...

 I call this t-shirt the 'funky girl tee' in my outfit list. I was drawn to it when I saw it in the F21 twist collection last year. I have 3-4 outfits with it but wearing it for the first time just now!

TODAY:
It was nice not having to rush to get out of the house this morning. We just got our house ready and hosted a playdate for 3 other mommies and their 6 children. The kids amazingly got along while the mommies had a chance to check out the new clothing line I am selling. They had so much fun trying on things and making outfits. I realize now this method might also work in controlled small groups. For those mommies who have no way of leaving their kids these types of playdate slash shopping parties seem to work great.
And the best part is I don't have find a sitter for my kids either.

After naps I gave the kids an early bath so I can take them out to dinner with my best friend and mom to give my hubby one night of peace at home. We tried to prolong the time but it is hard to keep them entertained in a restaurant even with frozen yogurt afterwards. We came home and kept them upstairs until bedtime.
Now sitting and watching recorded new show 'The River'. Have you guys seen it? Seems pretty cool.

Bye Bye Laguna

 This was my outfit today. The inspiration is again from a photo in a very old issue of one of the magazines:

Great combo to remix my red dress and the khaki blazer.

 This was my outfit last night for the cocktail/dinner party and another fashion show!.

The inspiration had come from again an older Elle issue in this tiny 'street style' segment...

I had liked the idea of mixing suit jackets with flared jeans and of course fur scarf makes it fab...

LAST NIGHT:
It was an other fun fabalous fashion night...
Kika's Brand consultant was riot. He wore this fur trimmed coat and the crazy ring to present the models/outfits... Since we matched in our fur accessories we posed together. He wanted to remain anonymous though so that is why the photo is cut off...

Here are some more amazing outfits from the fashion show:
