Lake and Snow

 Spent the Easter weekend (Sunday/Monday) at Big Bear. This was my outfit Sunday...

The inspiration was from a Michael Kors Ad:

The all white ensemble was perfect for the snow and I always need a cold weather to wear my white coat which I love so much...

This is how I left in the morning but the photos were taken without the coat...

In the afternoon back at the cabin I put on the ugg boots hence the different boots...

Coat - Bebe

Sweater - Guess (I think, I can't remember)

Jeans - Forever 21

Purse - Shoedazzle

Boots - Target

SUNDAY at Big Bear:
Signed up the kids for snowboarding class. It felt like it would be a warmer day but there was windchill so it was a bit colder than we anticipated. The girls did not last as long as the boys.
But at the end of the class the boys were coming down the hill and even making a single turn!
I had hurt my knee so I decided to not push it and ski. My friend decided to sit it out too which was a good thing cause 15 minutes after we got coffee the class called us with her daughter wanting to quit. It would have sucked if she had already purchased a lift ticket.
We had lunch at the resort before heading home for some down time. In the afternoon the kids played outside and enjoyed the fresh fall weather in spring! :)

Kids had fun at the cabin and outside after the snowboarding lessons....

MONDAY

This was my outfit today which was inspired by a photo in the F21 lookbook I think....

Of course normally I would wear different shoes but it was cold and the snow boots felt right....

Coat, pants - Forever 21

Tee - Stylemint

Boots - Target

MONDAY:
We took it easy this morning and then packed up most of the stuff and took the kids to a mini zoo and a park by the lake for some fresh air outing...
Then we had lunch in the village before heading back home to end a super nice weekend getaway...

Ocean View

 Went to the beach yesterday afternoon to do a photo shoot for my cousin and her husband expecting their first baby. We also had plans to meet friends for dinner and then bowling right after so had to pick an outfit that would somehow work with all of this as I wouldn't have time to change. This was it.
For the night I added brown wooden platforms and a dark rinse jean jacket and my brown chloe purse.

The inspiration photo from last year:

Layers of my various blue necklaces...

And a few chunky silver chain necklaces over my silver watch. The girls and I were talking how we wear our watches totally as accessories never checking to see if they still have battery or set to the right time! :)

Since we were already on the beach, handed the camera to my step dad to snap a few shots for the blog and also gave some tips on posing to my cousin. :)

Top, Jeans - Victoria's Secret

Turquoise Necklaces - From Turkey, vintage & Forever 21

Bracelets - Tiffany's, Red Envelope etc...

SATURDAY:
We had thought about taking the kids to the beach but since they spent hours the day before at the beach they said they rather swim in the pool. So we called a few friends to see how was available last minute to come to swim...
The kids swam for hours took a break for lunch then swam some more!

Then my cousins and parents came over to head over to the beach for a photo shoot. Of course when I did this from my brother and SIL it was winter and there was no one on the beach. This being prime time summer and all the beach was filled with people and it was very hard to get shots without others in it. But we managed...

My favorite shot below:

Some group shots with my Mom and Step-dad as well:

After this photo shoot we came home so my parents can take the kids to their house to spend the night and my cousins went out for date night downtown while we went to meet our friends for dinner and bowling...
It was a very fun night bowling for hours and having a blast....
