Colored Eggs

Today's outfit or the color combination I should say was inspired by this January 2012 issue of In Style Magazine:

Love the mix of coral, aqua and mustard with touches of grey...

Love, love, love this built in necklace infiniti scarf from Anthropologie and my sister for buying it for me on Mother's day Last year!

TODAY: 

Had two back to back work conference calls then immediately upon hanging up the phone greeted 6 mommies, 10 kids for a busy Easter Playdate at our house. My friend hard boiled 2 dozen eggs and we had the kids color and decorate them. My other friends were great patroling the kids to make sure they did not go upstairs and cause any damage to the kids rooms like last party. The kids looked like monkey's in a zoo enclosure at times climbing our swing set in very dangerous positions but they had a blast. Everyone brought yummy dishes to share for a potluck lunch and it was a lot of fun enjoying a very sunny and warm day.

Kids rested and napped afterwards and we had a quiet evening at home...

Celebrated the b-day of one of my daughter's friends at the end. Like these kids needed more sugar!

Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters

 Oh My goodness, I can't believe it has been 2 days since my last post... I am starting to get very lazy. I had all these grand plans to wear a very cool work outfit over the weekend but the weather was super cold so I wore a combo I have worn before and therefore had no motivation for a photo shoot.

Today's outfit was inspired by a post in Chictopia I have to say 2 years ago I think....I couldn't even find the link but the photo was saved in my files:

I love the silk scarf and the cute hat touches in this combination...

This is my ancient coach scarf! And thought the little metal bow buckle belt was cuter than a plain brown one.

These photos by the way were taken in the midst of my son recovering from this cut incident in the backyard. After 20 minutes of taking care of his tiny cut I still had to re assure him between each shot that it was NOT the band aid that was stinging his finger! :)

TODAY: 

We are on spring break from the preschool classes this week so we have an entire week of scheduled playdates every morning. Today was at my Turkish friend's house.

She has a daughter my daughter's age but my son was a good sport and enjoyed playing with them. They made a mess but we at least got to chat and enjoy the amazing Turkish style tea I miss and love so much. 

7 year itch!

 This was my outfit last night to celebrate our 7 Year Wedding Anniversary!

The inspiration photo was super old. I think from Sept 2009!

 Remember this Juicy Ad way back when? I had always loved the idea of dressing down a suit with a print tee and adding punk accessories. I guess the issue with having soooo many inspirations and not enough days in a year to wear them all is that some don't get worn for a long time...

It is hard to believe this was one of the first two suits I bought when I moved to NYC after graduating college. Just like the red suit I always mention when I wear the jacket or the skirt this one has been such a favorite. I am glad I never got rid of it and amazingly still fit in it. Although the high waist cut of the skirt was not as comfortable as it used to be.

 The outfit was also perfect for our night. I never needed a jacket as we walked outside and since we didn't really dance that much and the club was outdoors I didn't get warm enough to need to take off the jacket.

SATURDAY NIGHT:
We had a blast checking in to Hard Rock Hotel downtown. First time staying at a hard rock. The whole hotel is geared towards people there to party. They even charge a $100 deposit in case of damages!
Out what was advertised as 'posh suite' was a bit smaller than we were expecting but had a cool view of the pool/club. We enjoyed some wine on our patio before going downstairs for happy hour then to dinner to another restaurant downtown then back to checking out the two clubs of Hard Rock.
And the best was sleeping in until 9:30 AM the next morning!

7 Years!
