Spaced Out

Pregnancy hormones are annoying.  I'm the first to recognize that I can be a world class monster biotch and the next second be super sweet (well, to an extent).  What has caught me off guard though is pregnancy brain. Whooooaaaa.  For example, on Monday, I was looking forward to watching OC Housewives on Bravo.  I got my juice ready on my night stand, positioned my Snoogle, but there was still 5 minutes left until the show started.  I decided to watch another channel until Housewives started.  The whole time I'm watching this other channel, in my head, I'm thinking how much I can't wait to watch the new OC Housewives.  I look at my clock and decide to click over to Bravo and the flipping show is over!  I completely spaced out.  What do I decide to do at this point?  Cry. Cry.  I cried.  I cried because I spaced out and missed Housewives.  This was a pointless example but just goes to show how crazy town my hormones and emotions are recently.  Can anyone relate??  Anyone??  Just lie and tell me yes...

Office Bump

The days here are getting nicer but, unfortunately, the combination of pollen and just sickiness has me feeling gloom.  Luckily, I'm able to work from home at times but I'm one of those weirdos that actually prefers to get work done at the office.  I'm trying to rest up though because it is so nice out and I'd like to do as much as I can now before the baby comes.  I find myself opening the door to the nursery and spending a couple minutes in his room wondering what it will be like when Lucas is here ;-)

Oh and a big thank you to those of you that helped me figure out how to block out spammers.

Village Nut

I start getting a little nutty by Friday because usually during the week is go go go but Fridays...oh Fridays.  I begin to unravel and think of all the things I need to finish before the weekend.  I'm just lucky I have amazing co-workers (husband included) that keep me sane :-)  Have a great weekend!

Pattern Mixing

I'm linking up today with Marionberry Style's Trend of the Month which is pattern mixing.  I originally planned to wear a black skirt with this but I chose to wear pants and look at that, I managed to get myself all wrinkly again.  I think I need a steamer in my office.  Oh and I am wearing a necklace it's just hiding in the photos.  I like mixing different patterns together and have been staring at my closet more and more to see what else I can mix up!

I also wanted to share the gift my hubby gave me yesterday for our two year anniversary!  From the mr. to his mrs. :-)

Nothing planned for the day, playing it by ear, and I'm completely happy with that :-)  Relaxing weekends are the best.

Healthy Obsession

Have I mentioned that I am obsessed with mint? Oh, wait...I have here, here, here, and here... that's a lot of mentioning.  Okay, I promise to not stop mentioning it.

Candy Stripes

Note to self: don't wear pink outside because the bugs like it and will bite you over and over and over again...happy Monday :-/

Oh and my hubby added a new "Outfits" tab under my header!  So fancy and techy he is :-)

Simple Staples

Sometimes wearing simple basic staples such as a white button down and black skirt just makes my life easier.  Not that getting dressed in the morning is a hassle for me or anything.  However, there are those mornings where I've slept in 20 minutes over my normal wake up time and I don't have much time to think about what I want to wear.  Hence, white shirts and black skirts come to the rescue :-)

Sparkles and Green

Since I regretted not buying the green pencil skirt I saw on sale at J Crew two weekends ago when I was in Orlando, I made it a mission to locate another green skirt.  The city I live in does not have a J Crew and since the online price was much higher, it literally hurt to think I'd be paying way more than buying in store.  Luckily, I found this green skirt at Ann Taylor and it had an extra percentage off.  Score!

Polka Dot Blush Tones

My obsession for pink lately is definitely not as strong as my love for polka dots.  Polka dots and bows to be exact :-)  It's been a busy busy week and I'm looking forward to a good weekend...despite it only being Thursday...grrrrrr...

Pink Obsession

Confession:  I'm not a "pink" person but I'm loving pink at the moment.  Does that make sense?  I don't even think pink looks that great on me but now I find myself combing through the pink clothes rack and shoes...strange.

Matchy Matchy

Did anyone watch True Blood Sunday??? OMG! This outfit ended up being two outfits in one.  I had another court appearance in the afternoon so I ended up taking off the sweater and belt then throwing a blazer on over the blue shirt.  Every outfit I wear to work has to have the potential of being able to be worn with a blazer in case I have to be in court.  However, my two in one outfits have been more useful for just in court lately because of this heat!  I've been having to shed at least one layer a day to fight this Florida heat.  One might suggest that I don't wear a sweater in the summer but I just can't sacrifice my sweaters ;-)

Legally Red

This week is going by quickly and for the first time in a really long time, I may or may not be looking forward to a Saturday.  My hubby and I are moving to a new place at the end of the month and I am determined to start packing/throwing stuff away on Saturday.  I have put this off for awhile and since next weekend we may be busy...this Saturday it is :-/
One thing I am having trouble deciding what to do is when to pack up my clothes.  The last time I did a big move, I was a law student which meant I was basically living in pajamas/gym clothes and didn't have to worry about dressing up.  Now that I have to work every day, I'm not sure when I should pack up my closet.  Does anyone who has moved have any advice?

Fashionspirations: Blogger Style

Ever since I started reading fashion and lifestyle blogs a couple years ago, I found myself being inspired by other bloggers to make the extra effort to look nice in the morning even if I didn't feel like it.  Reading other blogs has also inspired me to incorporate more color into my wardrobe that was once 90% black or white.  

One of my favorite bloggers, Skylette from Sequins and Stilettos, wore this outfit recently and, as you can tell,  I was more than inspired by it since I nearly copied it to the tee!  Skylette has such great style!  Whereas, before, I probably would have just worn black pants, but seeing Skylette wear her striped top with colored pants opened my horizons :-)   Has anyone else been inspired by something you saw on a blogger, pinterest, etc?

The REAL Party Dress

Happy Memorial Day!  So this is the dress I ended up wearing to the wedding that I got all dressed up for on Saturday when the wedding was really on Sunday!  I've always been so bad with dates and invitations.  It's a fact that I can go weeks without picking up my mail which is so so bad.  I once missed a friend's bridal shower because I never checked the mail and didn't open the invitation on time!

The Party Dress

Gosh, it looks like I'm all dressed up to go somewhere...well, I was.  A friend of mine was getting married so my hubby and I got all dressed up, took pictures, got in the car, I pulled out the invitation to make sure we were on time...oh, we were on time...in fact, we were early...The flipping wedding was the next day on Sunday! Grrr!  I swear my head is always somewhere else.  You would think since I rsvp'd to the wedding that I would know what day the wedding was.  Nope!  Since I'm not one to waste hair and makeup, I changed clothes and went shopping...so it wasn't a total waste ;-)

Dainty and Minty Skirts

It's no secret to those who know me or see me everyday at work that I love pleated skirts.  This one from JC Penney caught my eye because of the color.  Most of my skirts are some sort of dark color but I'm venturing out into colors purposefully.  I'm not quite sure if the skirt can be called mint because it is more in between of mint and powder blue.  It actually reminds me of the pistachio macarons my little sister brought back for me last night from the new Laduree boutique that opened in NYC.  I think I've consumed more than a dozen macarons this month but I am in NOOOOO way shape or form complaining :-)
