Green Tartan

 Finally wearing another combo I had created with my mom's super old kilt skirt. 
This one was inspired by the November 2011 issue of Lucky Magazine:
Her skirt is red tartan and she added red tights and a red top. So I went with green top and green tights. I didn't have something super shaggy to wear so experimented with this 'bed jacket' I keep in the bedroom to wear when I am reading a book in bed to not get cold!

TODAY: 
Uneventful day of preschool followed by an afternoon at home with family visiting to play with the kids.
It is amazing how much follow-up work there is to do with the new business and I have so little time to do it all. Pretty much living on very little sleep and caffeine and the adrenaline the excitement of starting something new!

Touch Down

 This was inspired by such an old clipping. In Style's October 2010 issue! I figured i should wear it and get it out of my folder before it becomes 3 years old!
Wish my top had a bit lighter gray as this whole look is a bit dark but oh well....

TODAY:
We left my husband's parent's house shortly after breakfast and took the 3 hour drive back home. Had just enough time to unpack partially, start the 5 load laundry process and get ready. The most fun part was there were 4 boxes waiting when we got home. 2 of which were more clothes for my sample line. I love openning them up, checking them off in my invontory list, tagging them and hanging them on my rack. If they happen to be size I get to try them on... The other box was from the printing company. I know have my business cards, order forms and invitaitons. I can officially start business.
I also got the box from Asos. I forgot to photo but I am loving the green skinny denim, the huge turquoise clutch and the gold double cuffs and the cuff necklace. Better than I envisioned them.
Final box was from PB teen my laptop lap desk with a cubby.
The afternoon we went to my friend's house to watch Superbowl. Given that I have zero interest in football, the guys watched the ladies chatted and the kids played their hearts out...

Here are some final photos of them dancing to Wii after the game was over...

Catch of the Day

 This was my outfit Saturday while visiting my husband's parents after our trip to Disneyland...
It was another classic Bee (Atlantic Pacific) Inspired outfit:
Magenta pants, pastel plaid blouse, trench and pearls!





 If I was home I would have also showcased this outfit  with my nude heels but realistically these little purple wedges were much more appropriate... (see the activity below to prove my point!)

Utility Jacket/shirt - Gap
Plaid Blouse, Magenta Jeans - Forever 21
Pearls - Asos
Wedges - Zappos

SATURDAY:
Had a great fun day at my in-laws... They took us to this little man made pond filled with fish by Malibu for kids to experience fishing!
Afternoon was spent at home and I got to demo the new clothing line to my mother in law and made my first sale!
Since the kids refused to nap despite their over tired stage we put them down super early and had a nice peaceful dinner to celebrate my mother in law's b-day....


You really can fish in pearls and wedges!


 




 My father-in-law caught 3 fishes (trout). We brought them home and bbq'd them and they tasted great....
