who'll stop the rain?

Can you beleive this outfit was inspired from an inspiration image I saved back in October 2010! 

From this Chictopia Post:

 I had bought this dress when I was pregnant for my son... It still works somehow... I have a photo in this when I am 8 months pregnant!

 I grabbed this super cool jacket off of my Kika Paprika sample rack even though it is 2 sizes too big...
It is so soft and comfy. I just might order it in my size if I make enough sales this month. ;)

Finally remembered to take a photo of the back of these boots. They are so cool aren't they. I get compliments every time I wear them....

TODAY:

Went to preschool with our 60 valentine cards in tow! 30 for each kid. We do the same for tomorrow's outdoor class so that means we had to prep 120 valentine cards!!! I have enforced my son to do majority of his own. He wrote his name on a lot of them and helped assemble at least. The class was jam packed and quite exhausting but the kids made the cutest valentine art projects and had fun collecting their goodie bags...

Here is a photo with my little man before school:

I finally got around to editing the photos from Saturday afternoon of my daughter openning her gifts:

Princess with her gifts:

I cherish hand made gifts:

The green infinity scarf is hand knit my by my friend and these pretty hair barette's are made by another talented friend:

And check out this beyond words adorable pant and beret set my other friend sew for my daughter:
It even has studs on the hat and zipper and chain details on the 'skinny' pants:

So the next day she wore the set and posed for me:

Lady in Red

 Today's super cute outfit was inspired by a photo in last Season's Kate Spade catalog:

I had saved this inspiration folder last year and wasn't sure when or where I would wear it. A Fashion career training seminar was the perfect venue. I was able to look professional while showing my quirky taste at the same time...
First I had this outfit with my white eyelet pencil skirt and a white tee. But that just looked so sloppy and casual against the black tights and red blazer. Then I remembered the new sheath dress I bought for xmas eve and it was perfect. To create the black bow effect I tied my cardigan's self belt!
I thought the end result was quite genius if I have to say so myself! :)

 These candy apple red stilettos just pop even more against jet black...

TODAY:
Today was the 1st day of training of my new business. It was so much fun but also overwhelming at times receiving so much valuable information that is hard to retain all at once. We learned about how to dress different body types and understanding everyone's colors based on hair, eye and skin color and then figuring out what colors work best on each person. I am so excited to get certified in these areas which will really help me with the clothing line business as well as the wardrobe remix consulting...
The afternoon was spent trying all the items in the new clothing line we will be selling. As fun as that is it is quite tiring. I had envisioned taking so many more photos but there just wasn't enough time between trying them all and taking notes etc...
So here is just two:

We only had an hour break before the evening activities watching another fabalous runway show this time modeled by actual consultants and a fun dinner and a cocktail party adn award ceremony.
I am going to have to to post the night outfit in another post...
