Come out and play

 Today's outfit. Can you tell I am all into aqua and red these days? I added the black and white stripes to today's combo to make it more fun.


I liked these round red sunglasses when I visited Target the other day...

Everyone always compliments me on this leaf necklace made out of lava rock. Gift from my mom:

TODAY:
Went to pre-school this morning then an idea was thrown to go to Phil's BBQ. All the mom's who did not pack lunch agreed to go. They gave us the back table in the patio so we didn't bother anyone else with 12 kids and only 6 adults. We enjoy these spontaneous lunch outings.  I am starting to realize how much not only the friendship between our kids have grown but between us as mommies as well. We see each other 3-4 times a week and share pretty much so many details of our lives. There is no one to cheer me more when I announce the potty accident streak my daughter was on has ended. It is the little things that bring us closer and as most of our kids are going to start school tomorrow the idea of of not seeing each other on a daily basis is looming in on us.
When we got home my daughter fell a sleep in the car and my son begged me if he could check out the pool temp and felt it was warm enough to swim. I was happy to see has not forgotten how to swim as he jumped over and over from the high wall and swam to the edge.

Here are a few photos from the last couple of days where both kids got haircuts but it was my daughter's first! and Kids have taken to putting on swim suits and dumping water from a bucket I fill over the slide and swings. Not sure why but they find it so much entertainment in this activity...

Spring Fashion Beauty Bash

 This was my outfit on Sunday for the big 'Spring Fashion Beauty Bash' held at my house...

 I am so happy I ordered these 'twill capri's in this bright 'Azure' cause I love them!
 This tissue thin top is one of our most popular items. It comes in black, aqua and neon coral but the simple white works great for this look...

The bracelet my husband brought from his trip to India couple years ago...


Knowing I would be on my feet for hours today the flats were a way to go but they also looked the best among the other wedge sandals I tried on with this outfit...
 I bought these for our first family trip to Acapulco when my son was 11 mos old. 

Top - 'Elyse' in white from Kika Paprika
Pants - 'Twill Capri's in 'Azure' from Kika Paprika

Spring Fling

 This was my outfit for another work event today. 

I actually copied this combo from the Kika Paprika runway back in end of January 2012:
 I had loved that she paired the combo with coral/orange platforms:

So I ordered the pieces in my size and with my orange wedges that came last week they were perfect:




 Notice the tiny bit of metallic gold at the end tip of the wedge!
