Tonight you're perfect

 My outfit for Christmas Eve…

My daughter and I bought this bright pink tinsel tree today at big lots clearance for $10. I really wanted a white but they were all out. I love the pink tree….

My friend from shybiker blog has sent me this gorgeous purple heel ornament as a xmas gift this year. Since we didn't have a tree up there was no place to put it until we bought the pink tree tonight. It totally belongs on this tree…..

CHRISTMAS EVE:
We spent the day today running a few errands and grocery shopping which was an absolute zoo but we got lucky with a great front of the store parking spot. We even fitted in a quick haircut for my son before the holiday which was great.
Then we came home and wrapped a few more later arrival gifts and got everyone showered and dressed for Christmas Eve at my mom and step dad's house.

They had a great table and feast set-up and invited our friends over too so my daughter had a friend.
We stayed until kids' bed time then came home. My daughter fell a sleep but my son wouldn't miss putting out the treats for Santa. We like to be different and put out something juicy and citrusy to off set all the cookies he gets. Tonight we put a peeled halo orange and a ginger snap cookie and some OJ. For the reindeers some celery….

 Got this headband for her at the hair cut place today. It matches her dress perfectly and so cute and unique...

They never stopped talking during dinner….

The fashion show started right after dinner….

My dad was with us part of the night as well but he was in too much pain to last the night so he is sleeping at our house gaining energy for tomorrow….

READY FOR SANTA!

You are my sunshine

 I was happy with how today's outfit turned out. The inspiration was from J Crew catalog once again:

I like the cognac mixed with yellow with a touch of teal. My blouse is burgundy but gives the same unusual color combo. The teal shoes is what makes the outfit I think though.

The Tucker blouse from Target. Happy to be wearing it again...

I am so in love with Cookie Lee's fall collection. This season they went nuts over bracelets and the combinations you can create are endless. I love mixing the metals and beads and everything is such high quality! This was a combo I put together on the fly:

 Island Palm Cuff ($32), Bronze rhinestone bangle set ($28), Rhinestone antique brass stretch ($24), tiger eye bead ($24) with add-on star charm ($5)... If you are interested in any of these please comment. I am giving 10% off to all my readers...

I am sooooo happy with my first 'Shoedazzle' purchase. I have been eyeing this site for quite sometime. They have very cute lookbooks and great designs.  I didn't pull the trigger on any of my selections though until this style came along. Somewhat Valentino inspired the subtle studs and the t-strap and the pointy toe are all just perfect. Plus it was a color I did not have! :)

WEDNESDAY:
Indoor class with my daughter. Then picked up my son as it is his half day on wednesdays and we came home for lunch and swim in our pool. It is super hot so it was a perfect way to refresh and burn energy. Then after baths I took them to Jamba Juice as I had promised then we came home and I cooked for hours as we are on this detox diet and I have to cook for dinner and lunches and extra stuff for the kids.

Here is my little 'Sunshine Girl' posing like mommy:
