Mustard and Cream

I loved the combination that came together this morning. Definitely making up for the de-motivation to take my outfit photos yesterday...

The inspiration was JCrew catalog. Between then and Anthropologie I get sooo many inspirations....

 This mustard and cream combination immediately caught my eye. I owned this short sleeve mustard sweater for years now. I remember wearing it to my trip to Turkey when my son was 7 mos old (he is almost 5 now).  So happy to be wearing it again... I feel sad for these looked over items in my closet sometimes. :)

 The inspiration felt a little bare though so I added the beret, the necklace and the gloves!

This poor overlooked purse was also purchased during a trip to Turkey I think even older than the previously mentioned trip.

 I totally own black patent leather heels like the ones in the inspiration photo and would have taken some photos with them on if I wasn't so lazy and running totally late this morning... So this is the realistic version which I wore majority of the day.... My old self would have gone with brown or cognac boots that would have blended. But I do like how stark these black boots look.

TODAY: My son had a nightmare last night so I ended up sleeping with him which was great actually but forgot how early he wakes up so was not happy when he woke me up at 6 AM with 'I am hungary mommy' Got him to go back to sleep for a while but then gave up and went back to my bed and sent him to Daddy who takes care of the kids every morning until I wake up which is such a blessing. That is the only way I can handle going to bed so late every night. Anyway, woke up totally late though and had just enough time to get ready and leave and got breakfast at a drive thru Starbucks before pre school. 

After naps I met my friend and her son at the gym. We checked in the kids at the gym daycare and did a zumba class together. This instructor was great. She barely spoke and transition from song to song in a fast and smooth manner and the songs were great. My friend kept saying it felt like we were on vacation dancing at a resort night club. My abs sure got an amazing workout and I love dancing. 

We then had dinner together at the foodcourt before coming home.

TOMORROW attempting my first designer event at H&M with my bf. I am in love with the Marni necklaces so hoping we score some. Going to meet up at 6:30 AM to line up! 

I am also excited to be doing something like this which I have never done. Will give us experience before we do a similar line up for the twilight panel at Comic Con this year!

Also TOMORROW is the Red Pump day! so wear your red pumps and support cause!

Here are some of my favorites from the collection:

I LOVE this necklace!

Here are some others I want to check out...

Just the pants:

I love this suit but doubt I will get is since I won't get much wear out of it...

Back on the ground

 It is Monday and why not face it with some attitude?

My inspiration was from an article that showed how you can wear 'denim on denim' at all hours of the day. 

I am usually known for my unusual outfits and majority of the time people just expect that and rarely comment. But today's outfit with the oxfords and the shorts definitely drew out some comments from the other parents at preschool... :)

This bow pin I swear makes any outfit cool when you add it. Just love this Asos purchase.

 The sequin moto jacket was also a great buy cause every time I wear it catches attention...

It definitely takes guts to wear these puppies but I love them...

MONDAY:
Had a nice day at pre school then fit in a big and much needed grocery shopping before coming home.
In the afternoon tried to catch up with laundry and chores and my friend came over to cook a nice Asian dinner. My son was in heaven tasting pork dumplings and bok choy with oyster sauce and noodles with cabbage and listening to my friend explain how the sauces add flavor. My daughter stuck with the chicken wings and stayed far far away from the other food just like her daddy. The two of them ate a separately cooked alfredo pasta!
We then got caught up on some of the shows we missed last week during our cable fiasco...

Loving Joey

This is what I wore to work a party hosted by my friend at the salon she works at Sunday afternoon...
The trench is made out of tencel twill and the waist area and under arms is cotton blend so it feels like a very comfortable cardigan but looks very polished doesn't it?
This is one my favorite pieces in the Kika Paprika line I sell.

SUNDAY:
My parents kept the kids in the morning and I thought after sleeping in I would get some work done. But I felt so inadequate with my new Mac going through PC withdrawals. After spending too much time being unproductive I decided to immediately activate  my 'one on one' and schedule my first session. So packed up the car and rushed to the mall to the apple store. The first session was good. I will probably be taking a different session every weekend so I can learn all the tricks. Especially with iPhoto.
Afterwards I went to my friend's salon to host a Kika Paprika show. it was fun being in a venue like that.
Felt like a fashion event. But the girls were not into staying and trying on clothes which is really the key to getting to know the line. Still it was a nice experience. Since it ended early I rushed to meet the family who were at a pool party at our friend's house which was nearby.

This is where the party was held:
