Little Luxuries


Today's outfit was inspired by this Chictopia post:

My colors are a bit darker but I took the concept of faux fur vest, plaid tartan scarf and a floppy fedora hat.... With Tall boots.

 This is a Neiman Marcus & Target collaboration piece. The puffy shoulders are very interesting don't you think. Got it at their 50% off sale of course.







Vest - Target
Hat - TJ Maxx
Top, Jeans, Scarf - Forever 21
Boots - the brand escapes me right now. It will come to me.
Purse - Q

SATURDAY:
Well started the morning with unexpected trip to Sears to purchase a new washer as our washer stopped working last night after an entire full bottle of liquid detergent fell and spilled on it. It was getting very old and rusting and cracked so it was time.
After lunch we came home. My son and husband went to a college basketball game together. While I met my sister and with my daughter we had high tea at a tea shop! It was so cute. She had never seen sugar cubes and put about 8 over time in her tea so she was getting quite hyper and we left shortly after we finished all the food and the teas.
We then went to the mall. AFter scouring the sale racks of Anthropologie and J Crew as promised we went to the disney store and my daughter tried on every princess dress. She loves trying on stuff now in stores. We settled on a Merida dress (from Brave) with matching shoes and tiara for her b-day trip to Disneyland. Then we went to Zara to find the entire store on sale! That was not good for my sister and I. Purchased a few items but haven't 100% decided on keeping them yet. Need to decide....
It was a fun day with my lil sis and daughter with just us girls. We kept saying the only one missing was my mom who is on vacation!

Fox in Socks

 This cozy layered combo was inspired but no other Bee from Atlantic Pacific:

 I wish my gingham button down was longer so it would peak out more...
I am also wearing a very tight bondage mini skirt but with thick tights, tall boots and additional knee high socks I think it totally worked for my day at preschool...

Isn't this sweater darling? It was the result of my search of a cute print sweater less than J Crew prices... From Asos during their take add'l 30% off sale.









Sweater - Asos
Gingham Blouse - Thrift Store
Jacket, Skirt and Tights - Forever 21
Socks - Marni for H&M
Boots - Henri Bendel

FRIDAY:
Another non eventful day. Went to my daughter's pre-school then ran errands like crazy from returns, to getting gas to costco shopping to lab appointment. Just had enough time to come home unload and put away everything then to go out and pick up my son. Another quiet evening at home...

Silent Night


Yesterday's somewhat retro looking combination inspired by the Ralph Lauren Ad a few months ago:
 I even had a lace top to wear under but it was too chilly so switched it with a turtleneck instead...

This H&M top has cute bird print on it. The neckline is so low though it has to be topped over a top like this....

 Black fishnets with booties...



Top - H&M
Sweater - Gap
Hat, pants - Forever 21
Booties - Steve Madden
Necklace - Cookie Lee

THURSDAY:
We had nothing planned today so fit in some grocery shopping and then spent the majority of the day in the indoor play area so I could work and got so much done.
After we picked up my son came home cooked dinner gave the kids a bath and had a quiet night.
