Graduation

 Today's outfit was from a very old inspiration back from Sept 2011 issue of In Style....

 This is more of a work/office outfit but since I do not have an office job I figured why not. It was conservative yet chic perfect for my little man's Kindergarten graduation!




Got lots of compliments on my necklace (Christmas gift from my husband)...

This khaki pencil skirt is so old but timeless. It is lined and stretchy so very easy to wear...

TODAY:
Big day today for my son... Took him to school then came home and tried to finish again all the piled up laundry that I didn't do this weekend. My mom and Dad met me at home and we went early afternoon to my son's school to watch his Kindergarten graduation ceremony. My brother and his family and hubby met us there. He was probably the only kid with the most family members present at his ceremony. They sang 6 cutest songs and then their names were called out as they gave their teacher a hug and officially became ready for 1st grade!
I can't believe how fast time goes by.

With his teacher who we'll miss so much...

Blushing Bride

 What I wore to my little sister's bridal shower on Sunday...
Her and I found this dress last month at Bebe's sales rack. First we thought I would wear it in Vegas but felt it was more afternoon dressy event dress than a clubbing dress. The silky non fitted style was comfortable for this event...

1st SATURDAY NIGHT:
We were out until 2 AM Saturday night once again line dancing at the country bar this time with another group of mommy friends...  For some of them it was their first time. We had a blast though trying to do these extremely complicated and definitely sweating moves.


SUNDAY:
Woke up after 5.5 hours of sleep not feeling great but got ready and went to the grocery store and picked up the party cupcakes before heading to my mom's house by 11 AM to start the set-up. Thank goodness 3 of her friends volunteered to help so with all of us we managed to get everything done. The set-up and the table looked so cute. Everything was finger food so we didn't even use silverware.
The 'blushing bride' drink turned more red than pink but it tasted good.
The weather co-oporated and it was a very nice party...

Boho Brights

 I was pretty happy with how this outfit came together this morning. The inspiration was from the feature on creating bohemian outfits from May 2013 issue of I think Lucky magazine. Or may be In Style....
 I loved this midi length crochet skirt paired with boho pieces and denim jacket. My mom had found this hot pink crochet skirt at a thrift store and I only wore it once so my combo is a bit more colorful but I like it...



 I actually added 3 belts to give the look. The cream one has very subtle bronze and matt silver beading. The chevron print one is pretty thin and then the bone and beaded one. All tie belts.

Turkish handmade choker necklace paired with my latest acquire from Bauble bar and the cuff bracelet my mom bought me couple years ago were perfect matches...

YESTERDAY:
I actually had a cool outfit yesterday and thought I would do photos before I went out at night but of course it was a total rush and I never took them. This is why I really need to take my photos in the morning. Whenever I leave that for later it doesn't happen.
Yesterday we had my little nephew with us. I waited for the weather to warm up but it never did so after ordering cupcakes for my sister's shower I took the kids to a park by the bay...









Then took them both to costco shopping for the shower. Afterwards dropped off my nephew and went to my moms to start decorating and setup as the shower will be at her house.
I was so tired. I think the workouts were actually giving me energy cause this week I haven't worked out and have not eaten the best food and even though I am supposed to be resting I feel so much more tired and lack of energy.
After dinner at mom's house the kids spent the night there and my hubby and I went to the movies to see 'now you see me'. It was pretty good.

TODAY:
It was nice sleeping in this morning with the kids not being at home. We met them at the acting class and since it was their last class they showed us what they have been working on. It was cute.
My daughter was so into her 'dinosaur' role it was funny to watch.
Then we went to register them for swim classes at the Y and then went out to lunch.
Going back to mom's for more set-up and prep work this afternoon then going out with the girls to line dancing again!
Since I went last week everyone has been wanting to go....
