Black Magic

 This was last night's outfit...to an event at a downtown club to announce the release of the new blackberry! 

The inspiration was from the Fall Trend 2012 issue of the BCBG catalog....

I liked the combination of the yellow top with a black and white jacket...And you can never go wrong with leather pants and gold accents....

The very delicate snake necklace...

Jacket - Romwe

LAST NIGHT:

So as usual my friend who is in every mailing list for any cool event that takes place in my city got us hooked up for this event. It was a hosted bar and food on a roof top deck of a very hip downtown club. You had to go through couple stations where they demo'd the cool features of this new phone then you won a prize. Most of us got stuff like speakers and tumblers but of course my friend won 1 out of 10 phones they were giving away that night! Then her brother in law won one too! It was pretty amazing...

She came with all her 3 sisters and I brought my only sister. 

YESTERDAY's DAY OUTFIT

 The inspiration for this was the Gap Ad from a few months ago or last season I can't remember....

 It is simple but the pale blue belt is unexpected and cute....

Eyelet blouse - Lucky

Belt - Ann Taylor

Jeans, oxfords - Forever 21

The Panther

 Got too tired again last night to post so here is yesterday's outfit.... Inspired by this tiny photo:

I first put on my white fedora like the inspiration photo but it just didn't look right for some reason. So instead wore this white lace baseball cap and I think it is more on trend this way...

This tee is a bit much so it was more contained under the jacket...

I do love this simple thin cuff necklace though. Especially with sporty outfits and graphic tee's it adds the perfect edge/glam combo. 

Blazer - Gap

Top, Necklace, Tee, hat - Forever 21

Shoes - Enzo

YESTERDAY: 
I always start these re-caps with 'it was a crazy day' cause it seems to be always the case and yesterday was no exception. We went to the indoor class and there I took over my friend's two little ones as she has a family situation. After school I took all 3 to pick up my son. So after that with 4 of them we came home. I served them lunch and luckily all the kids were good eaters so that helped. Then the boys went up to play. My little princess hung solo and I put the little princess to nap after a bit of rocking.
In the afternoon it was cookies and fruit for snack than their mom came to pick them up and we rushed to swim class. During swim class I ordered the take out Greek food and got those kids showered and dressed out of there in 8 minutes which I think is record breaking. After picking up dinner we went to my friend's house and my hubby met us there so we can have a family dinner with them and celebrate their new baby. It was a bit tough getting the kids to get out of there and come home after a short visit but we managed. Then it was another psycho insanity tape at home! You can imagine how tired I felt afterwards and yet I never seem to want to go bed at nights. If only I felt that way in the morning. It is just brutal in the mornings...

Here is a photo from Preschool where my daughter and her friends wore these fluffy masks:

[my daughter is at the right end in mint pants]

And here are couple photos from our visit to my friend's house for dinner....

Since they live 30 minutes away, I always take PJ's and toothbrushes with me and get them totally ready for bed before leaving their house. In case they fall a sleep but we were not so lucky last night....

Rain or Shine

 Sorry, I keep running out of steam every other night and doing two outfit posts... You can blame the 'insanity' work outs...

This was yesterday's outfit to field trip to Legoland in tropical downpour....

Inspiration J Crew's March 2013 issue:

Took the idea of pairing bold striped top with lavender jeans, jeweled collar and a baseball cap.

It was too cold for just the top so I added a button down under it. 

My new baubles from Bauble Bar (just love these. They are so chunky)

Top - Stylemint

Blouse, Hat, Jeans - Forever 21

Necklaces - Bauble Bar

Boots - Steve Madden

MONDAY:
So after the hot 90s weather on Friday the weekend was cold and Monday it was raining. Our field trip with my daughter's school was 'rain or shine' though so we went anyway. We only got rained out for an hour during lunch and otherwise it was fine. The good thing was it wasn't really cold.
My Dad came with us and I took my son out of school so he was over the moon.
Dad took all the photos at the park and has not shared them so I only have this group photo we took before we left:

TUESDAY's OUTFIT

 I like wearing certain pieces in the same week before washing/ironing them so this shirt was the one this week....

The inspiration was from People Style Watch's March 2013 issue:

I first thought I would wear this with my black leather vest but it was too fitted and cropped over the oversize blouse that it didn't work. This vest was more the cut I was looking for even though it wasn't the right color/material I think it still worked...

 Necklace, bracelets - Bauble Bar, cookie lee, michael kors

Vest, blouse, pants - Forever 21

Boots - Steve Madden

TODAY:
Went to the outdoor class even though it was raining a bit and chilly but the sun did come out and it was great for the kids to get fresh air. Then went to the indoor play area so I can catch up on all my party planning coming up next month. Then picked up my son and came home and tried to nap with not much success. The kids made me 'mother's day' cards from toilet paper rolls! But they were so excited about them. It was all their idea.
The Insanity workouts are brutal but I can finally see the outline of two vertical ab muscles that are starting to form. Yeay! Tonight's tape was 'pure cardio' which has a 20 minute segment of non stop high impact cardio with no breaks. I can't even describe the heat and sweat that comes out. My hair is taking a toll. Lets see how it looks tomorrow....

The pose above was really this before I tried to crop... The kids were doing scooter races before we left....
