Strawberry Fields

 Easter weekend has been full of activities and I am quite behind in posts…
This was my outfit Friday as I took the kids to strawberry picking with my friend to finish the spring break week with a bang….

The inspiration was from March 2015 issue of People Style Watch….
 Her bold stripes are cooler but I don't have a top like that. Still I loved how the red hat just pops….








Hat - vintage
Top - J Crew
Jeans - Forever 21
Sneakers - Sam Edelman

Dept. Of Speculation


Friday's outfit was inspired by a look at ThreadSence website and I bought these pants back then:







Hat - TJ Maxx
Top - Forever 21
Pants - Thread Sence
Necklace - a website I can't remember the name right now
Platforms - Luxury Rebel

FRIDAY:
It was my daughter's and my last day of preschool today! Quite a milestone in our lives and definitely marking the end of an era of 'mommy and me' classes I have been attending for the last 5 years.  The good news is hopefully will keep seeing some of the people via summer playdates and our teacher thru book club.
Afterwards we visited my friend who was admitted to the hospital for chest pain. I know how it is like to be in the hospital stuck to a bed with no outside connection so even though she was getting discharged we wanted to keep her company for just a little while. Then came home for a little bit and went to pick up my son and as promised took them the library then to the rec center so they can play before his swim team practice. I keep forgetting the practices are longer on Fridays and we didn't get home until 30 minutes before my book club meeting I was hosting!
Got them quickly showered and settled and my husband brought take out for them while I got ready for my friends and our meeting.
We had as usual a great discussion on our last book called 'Dept. Of Speculation' by Jenny Offill. A weird book that got really good reviews from critics but not so much from us. The interesting part was the way it was written using a distant narrator voice and just stream of consciousness thoughts that usually do not tie to each other. You follow the story from a very distant stance and never truly feel connected to the characters and therefore the book.
The cool thing is we picked a whole list of great books to read in the next few months and also picked our meeting dates too….

MONDAY:
Starting the week tired again. I really hate getting up early in the mornings. Went to my daughter's school then to the indoor play area for just a little while and then it is our usual pick up my son come home for homework then swimming then dinner and usually I workout after they are in bed but Monday met my girlfriend for an exercise class instead. With the commute it of course takes longer but it was fun having company and to chat before and after...

Celebrating October 29th


Today's sporty combo was inspired by the most recent (Oct 2013) J Crew catalog:

I just loved this idea of pairing dark green with a white (tennis like) skirt and a read baseball cap!







Sweater - Ralph Lauren
Skirt - Zara
Sneakers - Superga
Cap - souvenir purchase from Seattle

TODAY:
We had Turkish school this morning as we do every other Sunday. Except today was the celebration of Turkey's independence (actually 29th of October).
The kids were all dressed in red and white (the color of our flag) and did a little parade singing independence songs. It was quite a scene.

 Oh there are those rainbowloom bracelets my son is supporting. Well he also has a necklace and rings...
