If the Princess ain't happy ain't nobody happy

Yesterday's outfit was inspired by an old Atlantic Pacific post:

Mine is a bit more summery version of this outfit and more blues and silvers. But the idea of mixing same tone animal prints was what I was going for….

Jacker, Scarf - Forever 21

Moto Leggings - ABS

Tote - Dolce Gabbana (very very old)

Necklace - Off Fifth

Bracelets - Cookie Lee and Bauble Bar

Sandals - Nine West (ridiculous old and back in style….)

SATURDAY:

Ah the morning was brutal. I happened to sign up my daughter for this Nordstrom Kid Fashion Show without realizing they do it before the store opens at a god awful hour of 7:30 AM on a Saturday morning. But once she was told there was no turning back. We both struggled to wake up and get ready. 

But it really was a very cool event. Just wish it wasn't so early…

It was just for the kids and their families and you got 15% off all kid clothing AND KID SHOES as a reward. My parents were so nice to wake up and come and watch and shop as well.

Before the show with the dress she picked….

She also selected the headband to go with it:

Walking down the runway with two of her friends….

 The girl just loves the attention!

 Having a blast...

Here are some other cute models….

Imagine

 Last night's outfit for my son's school fundraiser Gala…..The theme 'Imagine'….

You probably remember this dress I wore before for my mom's 60th b-day party… This time I added the Juicy booties to make it a bit more edgy. Paired with a bronze metallic jacket when it got chilly and a knuckle clutch and statement earrings….

The dress is just so gorgeous you don't need to add much. The white motif is in velvet so it has a 3D effect. I love this dress…. Best buy ever on a clearance rack obviously recently returned exactly my size for $50 (for a $250 dress)….

Dress - Anthropologie

Booties - Juicy Couture

Jacket - Trina Turk

Earrings - H&M

Bracelet - Forever 21

FRIDAY NIGHT:

Went to the school Gala with my son's classmate's mom. It was very close by right on the coast overlooking a gorgeous beach and pier right at sunset. Just beautiful. Live band, delicious dinner, open bar and great silent auction items and live auction of class art projects some of which went for thousands of dollars. It was great to chat with some of the parents from this year and last year and I can see in a few years we'll know so many more people. 

I didn't take my SLR with me (as that would have cramped my style) and we just did one professional photo which we'll get later so no other photos to post. :(

The Jet Set

 Today's day time outfit was inspired by a look from 'who what wear' website: 

 I love finding inspirations with sneakers cause they always fit perfectly into my active 'mommy on the go' lifestyle… I wish my top was a bit more boxy but this would have to do….

Silk Blouse - Vintage

Leather like leggings - INC from Macy's

Purse - Charming Charlie's 

Sneakers - Converses

TODAY:
My daughter had snack day at preschool. Which means I get to bring snack for the whole class and set-up and clean-up snack while she gets to be the teacher's helper during the circle times and ring the bell etc… Kids look forward to to this day while moms dread it but it is the way it goes.
We took bananas, go-gurts, popcorn and fruit snacks. The popcorn and fruit snacks were a big hit.
After class hit them all for an errand then came home. I was so lucky cause my parents could come and take my daughter then pick up my son and take them both to his baseball team practice while I got to fit in a 25 minute workout and shower and get ready for the Gala I was going at night!
