{Blazer: HM Sweater: AE Jeans: F21 purse: COACH Shoes: GIANNI BINI Necklace: FRANCESCA'S COLLECTIONS bracelets: FRANCESCA'S COLLECTIONS & F21} Stole this over at IHOD blog: "The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows & the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years." ~ Audrey Hepburn This is what I have been sporting to work lately, statement necklace, blazer and assortment of bracelets. This year I am hoping to wear more heels, every since I had Kaylee I have been wearing a lot of flats. Need to "learn" how to walk in heels all over again, Cheers to walking tall this year!

The Bargain Girl

I bought these Madden Girl boots couple weeks ago at Ross for just $25 and I wasnt sure if I was going to keep them. I got them mostly because it's so cheap and love the dark brown color. I wore them for the first time yesterday and it's probably the best cheap boots I bought in a long time. I love hunting down bargain deals! Right now Forever 21 is having a buy one get one free online or in store! I got this shirt at f21 on sale when they didnt have the buy one get one free 3 weeks ago, darn! Can you believe the size is a XL! I love big huge sweaters over tight jeans. Thank you so much for visiting my blog! Have a lovely day my blogging friends!

OOTD: Orange Sporange

Image
Fun facts: The only word in the 20-volume historical Oxford English Dictionary that rhymes with orange is sporange, a very rare alternative form of sporangium (a botanical term for a part of a fern or similar plant ) I was thinking of a name for this blog post and had asked my husband if there are any words that rhymes with Orange..he said good luck, there are none. Ha! he's wrong! Dress:Cardigan:Glasses: HM Belt : F21 Boots : Steve Madden Although I did not get today off from work, I did find some pretty sweet deals at the mall over Columbus Day weekend sale. I bought this pretty orange dress for about $12 and F21 belt for just $3! The color of the dress is simply perfect for Fall weather. I love layering two scarves together when it's chilly in the morning. How often do you shop? I think my friends and even co-workers have the idea that I shop a lot. In fact I only shop when there is a really good sale! I don't like to spend a lot of money on clothes since s

Falling For Fall

Image
Fall has arrived. Behold the changing leaves, and enjoy the crisp breeze. Let your eyes take in the bursts of color. Transformation is afoot and hope is in the air. My sweet friend got me this beautiful Lush chiffon kimono sleeve dress for my birthday and I am in head over heels for it. I love pairing it with a statement necklace for a nice contrast against the mustard color. The colors, the jacket just scream out FALL for me. I bought this jacket dress in Soho NYC couple years ago and I always get so excited to wear it. One of my favorite piece transitioning from summer to fall. Thanks for visiting and Happy Hump Day!

My Little Black Dress

Image
When I was pregnant with Kaylee, I did not purchase any maternity clothes at all! Here's a post I did of maternity fashion on some clothes I wore. I just didn't want to spend a lot of money on clothes that I would wear for short period of time. I would dig through my closet and wore whatever I could fit..or buy regular dresses that I know I can wear after having a baby. My big little black H&M dress I wore throughout my pregnancy. I know you cant really tell, but my tummy was HUGE! 4 months after baby. Best $15 I spent EVER haha! Baby K just recently turned 4 months. I have been taking a photo of her sitting in this white chair every month. See month 1-3 here. I got the idea from Making It Lovely . Hope everyone had a great long weekend! Mine definitely went way too fast and I can use another 3 day weekend. Glad I have half day this coming Friday! Our friend's mom watched Kaylee for us so we went to see Transformers 3 in 3D with our friends on Saturday

Food for my hubby's soul } Pad Thai

Image
Made pad thai for dinner last night. It was so delish and I'm not just saying that because it was my very first time ever making it but it's because hubby had 2 full plates. Before I left for work this morning, he said that by the time I come home, the pad thai might be gone...therefore I know it was delish=) I got the recipe from a friend's sister but I saw that Lindsay from the Aisle to Aloha made some last week and posted the recipe on her blog. Here is my outfit while I'm cooking the yummy pad thai from yesterday. :) Necklace and Cardigan { new york company } Dress { gift } Have a great Tuesday! This week is going to be a short week for me since my youngest sister is visiting from South Dakota and I'm taking couple days off from work.
