Take Me Out To The Ballgame

 We are having a mega weekend of little league baseball. Saturday I didn't have the energy to get dressed and of course that made me feel blah all day. 

So today, I got dressed inspired by a Louis Vuitton Ad in April 2014 issue of Bazaar...

First I tried as is without a hat but then felt the baseball hat made it look cooler….

I love the perforated faux leather jacket that has a nice slim fit that keeps its shape...

Jacket - Forever 21

Tank - Kika Paprika

Jeans - Newport News

Hat - Comic con

Boots - Target

Necklace - From Turkey

SATURDAY & SUNDAY:
Well, my son made all star in baseball which had meant 3 2 hour practices last week 2 of which my stepdad took him. And this weekend he had his first tournament.
The first game was tough. In our area they do not follow the real rules of baseball for the 6 and under division. So no score is kept, everybody makes to 1st base and there are no outs. There are so many conflicting thoughts about this but for one it has thought the kids nothing about winning and loosing and how real baseball works. So starting with all star they had to learn a whole slew of new (real) rules and came face to face with striking out, being tagged out and of course loosing a game. It was tough for some of them. My son made one mistake and started crying and wanted to leave but we told him everybody makes mistakes and he has to learn to tune out everyone else and listen to the base coaches only. So many new things for them to take and the stress of the game but my goodness do they love it. He had two games back to back and wouldn't want to leave afterwards and begged to play catch.
And I have watched more baseball this weekend than my entire life. And amazingly learned so many rules. Kind of cool actually but nerve racking to watch your kid out there.

Saturday after the games we came home and had a swim playdate with our friends visiting from Pennsylvania.
Then my husband took the kids to my parents house for dinner and I met up my friend to watch two movies back to back.
We saw XMen and 'The Other Woman'.
Oh my, the Other Woman was hilarious. And I fell in love with everything Ms. Diaz wore. She is just so classy and gorgeous and sexy and natural. Even with her wrinkles around her eye she was breathtaking and hats off to whoever picked her outfits for the movie. Actually all the outfits. It was a great fashion movie as well…

Here are some of the outfits I found photos of in Google. 

You agree right? 

Oh and here is my all star slugger:

And today in between his two games we had 3 hours so my stepdad and I took him to an early lunch which he chose sushi and had a caterpillar roll. Then after the games were done we came home for a swim again. My parents and my sister joined us. Then my husband cooked us dinner while I worked on 3 loads of laundry and did the grocery list and my sis and I even did a 50 minute workout!

See the light

Today's combo was inspired by a look on Nordstrom's Website:

This just gave me the idea of pairing my white stilettos with the Peter Pilotto sweatshirt. Came out pretty nice I think...

 I was trying to post without sunglasses but it was just a tad too light so looks like I am frowning in most of the photos...

Sweatshirt - Peter Pilotto for Target

Jeans - H&M

Heels - Nine West (thrifted)

TODAY:
Got up early and did the ab workout of the 'Brazilian Butt Lift' program. The ab workout was not as bad as the butt one thank goodness. Showered and got dressed and had a nice breakfast and did some legos with my princess. Then we went to Nordstrom Rack to pick up my hubby's pants from alteration and do a return. Then to Target to find a long sleeve top for my son to wear under his baseball jersey but of course it is summer and they did not have a single top that was long sleeve. Found a 3/4 sleeve but bigger than his size so lets see how it is going to work out.
He has 4 games this weekend and if they win more games on Monday. That is going to be more Baseball than I have watched in my entire life!
He is so excited though to be all star that makes us all excited.
After our errands we picked up my son and then went to swim practice in the afternoon.
I showered and got him dressed and dropped him off at his playdate with 3 of his buddies watching a movie. He was so looking forward to it.

Just for Frills

Today's combo was inspired by Who What Wear site look I had saved from a while back:

Then today I saw another look from the same site that channeled the same vibe:

I like the bohemian feel this outfit gave once put together...

 My mom got me this purse as a diaper bag from a thrift store. It was actually too large to use for that but I have been using for an overnight stay bag or when we do spa day with the girls it is perfect to load up everything and still look chic.

Hat - Asos

Blouse, Jeans - H&M

Booties - Betsey Johnson

Purse - can't remember the brand

Necklace - very old can't remember where this is from either…

TODAY:
A bit slower day today thank goodness. Went to my daughter's ballet class and got to sit and watch her today as once a semester they let parents observe.
Then we stopped at home to clean up and then went to the indoor play area which is closing end of this month, so she can play and I can catch up.
Then it was picking up my son coming home to change and off to register my daughter for soccer for Fall. Yes, they want us to register this early and it had to be in person for some odd reason couldn't be done online!
My stepdad took my son to his 2nd baseball practice of the week and brought him back just in time for dinner.
AFter dinner did the 'thigh and high' sculpting workout of the 'Brazilian Butt Lift'. And…
OMG,… OMG….OMG… it was excruciatingly painful. If you watch the video you would think nothing is being worked as the moves are tiny. But using a rubber band and my gosh it works this tiny tiny muscles that make up our derrière. I am the queen of squats and leg lifts but these moves were something else.  I wanted to cry.
I am not sure how I am going to feel tomorrow!
