TuTu Beautiful

I just loved how this outfit came together on Sunday…

My inspiration was Bee from Atlantic Pacific:

I have been wanting to wear a tutu as long as I can remember…. Just wasn't sure I could pull it off and not look costumey… And the tutu I wore was actually a petticoat I had bought 3 halloween's ago for the black swan costume… I had to wear a black a-line skirt underneath it but it totally looks like a real skirt right?

I decided to add fuchsia heels instead of all black and I think they just totally pop and the bow cuffs are perfect under the fluffy skirt….

Top - Forever 21

Skirt - Online (could be party city)

Heels - Shoedazzle

Sunglasses - Wildfox

SUNDAY:
The morning was awful as my husband got called into work and I had to put the whole house back together after our big party but I managed to get most of it done. Then got ready and left with my little princess to go to a fancy lunch followed by the Nutcracker Ballet!…

My friend made this absolutely breathtaking dress for her daughter…..

They sat front row to watch their two friends on stage...

Then afterwards we met up at my sister and brother in law's house for homemade cookies and hot cocoa at their house…

These are the moments that I'm gonna remember most

Yesterday's inspiration was an old one I think from 2011:

I have been wanting to wear this combo it is just a bit too warm for our city so the opportunity did not present itself until now. Even yesterday I had the jacket off most of the time….

Jacket - Thrifted but Forever 21

Top, Pants - Forever 21

Booties - Victoria's Secret

Necklace - Cookie Lee

SATURDAY:
This was a crazy weekend with my daughter's birthday party one day and my father's celebration of life service the next day. I guess that is what life is all about. Good memories and bitter sweet moments. Birth and death all together.

Here is my princess ready for her party….

My daughter's party was a trampoline place that we had never been before and the kids loved it. We co-hosted with my friend our third year in a row…

Our Party Favors:

The brothers:

And after the party we came home so she can open her presents and relax for a very short while then the family who is in town from all over the country for my Dad's service came over for a low key dinner at our house and to hang out together. My kids have been so waiting to spend time with their uncle so they were so happy when he came early to play with them. My cousin is in town and my aunt again and my sister in law and nephew and her parents were all there.
I had an all costco meal that consisted of steak and salmon and Turkish side dishes like stuffed grape leaves and quina salad and asparagus and two types of salads.
It was a great evening that ended with going over the slide show my brother had finalized…

my wonderful cousin and aunt. they are both amazing cooks so instead of steaming the asparagus had her show me the pan version with garlic which comes out so good.

My sister in law and I with our mothers….

Just Dad is missing from this gathering! But he was always with us in spirit….
