Back to Rock

Not super creative today as we didn't have any major plans this afternoon and it was too chilly to wear shorts. So here I just paired this new sequined tank with dark grey jeans and converses. Added the multi chain chunky necklace for that 'rock' look. Although this CZ ring is dressy looking thought it went good with this outfit. I do have cooler combo's for this tank that will be portrayed soon.

Today's Activities: Was determined to make it to the beach this AM so woke up early changed all the sheets did two loads of laundry and got ready for the beach. Was able to make it out by 10:15 AM! :) It was nice and warm so the kids swam twice and played on the sand. Came home for lunch and amazingly long naps for both. After snacks went to a friends community pool. She has a daughter close to my son's age and they had a great time swimming in the pool. My daughter the fearless one loves to throw herself into the pool from the edge. Came home for dinner and quiet play time before going down. Mom and I left after the kids went down to her cousin's house to play cards with her cousin and aunt.

This is another combo I put together for this layered skirt. I truly love this skirt cause of its layred look and the fact that it came with this great looking belt. Since it is a bit loose on my waist I pushed it down just a bit s the belt would sit tight. It would have been a bit better if I could cynch at my true waist though. I love pairing cute mini skirts with a simple white ribbed tank. I have a few of these tnaks. This one has a thin strip of silver sequins on the neckline and the arm opennings which is a nice added touch. And to roughen up the look added my peep toe and open heel summer boots. (see side pose for the open heel shot). Decided to go with the simple mother of pearl shell necklace on a satin cord. Added silver watch and the white/nickel ring to complete the look.

Today's Activities: Two beach day today. Went in the morning and met my friend again. Since they were staying for lunch ran home to drop off my daughter and kept my son longer had lunch on the beach from the beach bar's cafe. My daughter can barelly go past 12:30 PM so she wouldn't have lasted. After naps and snacks we went to the beach again this time to meet another friend and her baby who is a bit younger than my daughter. The afternoons are windier though and don't have the peacefullness of the morning time so not my favorite. Came home with the guests and had tea and cake. Therefore the kids ate very late. After they went down for the night went out with my mom and aunt to their friend's bar/restaurant called 'Roseto' for a drink. Since it was only 1 AM I guess you can count that as an early night!

Happy in Navy

This is a simple combo I put together as another way to wear this navy skort. I than decided to add the bright yellow belt as a punch of color. The skort does not really have belt loops so it just sets  there. The belt also picks up the hints of yellow that is on the t-shirt. Added a yellow watch with rhinestones then went with that rhinestone theme on my ankle cuff denim sandals and fringe silver earings.

Today's Activities: Went to the beach in the morning and met a friend there. Beach and the water is much calmer and cleaner and more peaceful in the mornings. Kids also seem to be less needy and tend to entertain themselves. After lunch and naps we went to a friend's house for a pool playdate. They have a son my son's age. Kids loved the non salty pool water. My son kept jumping in throwing in a ball then swimming to retrieve it and do it all over again. All with arm floaties of course. My daughter was happy to be floating on her own for a bit with our help in her floaties as well. As it is Turkish tradition we were served way too many varieties of sweets and cookies over cups and cups of freshly brewed tea. After dinner at home and the kids went down we had friend over for drinks and than watched 'Back up plan' on video and laughed hard until 2 AM.
