Finally!

We finally have some cool weather today! High of 71 degrees! I got so excited I couldn't decide which "cold weather" outfit to wear! :)

So I chose this light sweater from Forever 21. I wore it on top of a satin blouse from Gap, green skinny jeans from Zara and my Intyce boots from Steve Madden I've been wanting to wear since the start of the "ber" months. HSN was having this Steve Madden special a couple of months ago and these boots were selling fast! It was hard choosing the color, I wanted all of them! In the end, I ended up with this since I already have black and brown boots. Who doesn't love those "4 easy payments of $..." deals?! :)

Casually casual

Okay so maybe this outfit is not that casual for a grocery run. But I love clothes... and shoes... and I have a lot of them... there is a need to wear them even if my career title is now Stay-home Mom. And besides, I may take a little detour to the mall to let my little one see the train and the carousel (as promised). :)

Into the green

It was one of those days where I just wanted to dress up with nothing really going on. I decided to go stroll around at the mall. Three women walked up to me and asked me where I got my shoes. The Zara store here did not have it at the time I wanted them. Their online store was not live yet. So I did get these shoes in the store but halfway around the world during a visit to my hometown! :)

Date night

You never miss date nights with your other half until it comes to a point where you never get a chance to have them. The last movie we saw in the theaters was Avatar. Yes it has been THAT long! Now that our little one is more manageable, we took the opportunity to watch a movie while the mother-in-law was in town. So I just threw on this simple outfit and enjoyed the evening!

Feeling blue and lazy

No excuses here... I have just been really lazy lately! I think our trip on the other side of the world burned me out. Two and a half weeks with an 18 month old was too definitely too short to just relax. Plus, it has been over 100 degrees here everyday and because of that I have been going out once a week. I have to force myself to go out before I lose touch of the outside world. :)

I am slowly snapping out of it so please bare with me :) I bought this dress at a store called Lara's in Torrance, CA the day before we flew back home. Not sure if that store is local there, I've never seen it anywhere else. I paired it with the Coach wedges that I got during the Nordstrom half year sale and a couple of bangles from Forever 21 and an orange bead bangle I got in Singapore back in 2006. The earrings are from a long time ago bought in a flea market.

So I am not really feeling blue... just lazy... but I have been obsessing over charm bracelets lately. So, thanks to hubby, I got me one of those that come in a blue box. My first Tiffany. :) Now I need three charms to go on there. What gift-worthy occasions are coming up... hmmm... birthday is not till next year... Valentines is just right after the birthday... I guess Christmas is the closest one.

Feeling brown

This outfit was inspired by the dish I cooked today... can you guess what color it was?? :)

I love this dress... it was on clearance at Esprit about two years or so ago. And I still cannot believe the Esprit store at the outlet in my area closed! :( They always had good clearance deals!

These earrings are truly vintage. They were my mom's from way back in the 70's and I thought it would be good to wear with this dress. Wrapped a belt around my waist... grabbed my LV... slipped on my nude colored pumps (which are very comfortable by the way)... and got the car inspected. Yes, that was the important errand for today.
