Flowerbomb

Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb

Has anyone else tried this magical potion?  I went on a crazy whim and blindly purchased it after reading reviews on Sephora.  It is absolute flower-fields-of-heaven in a bottle.  It is strong at first, settles in very sweetly, and then I catch myself wanting to reapply.  What can I say?  I'm officially a Flowerbomb addict and plan on scooping up the roll-on STAT. ;-)

and I write a blog because... why?

Gee, think I have a go-to look? 

Earrings - Kohls

Watch - MK

Scarf - Burberry

Jeans & Sweater - Gap

Boots - BR

Jeans, scarf, jacket, tee - Gap

Flats - Tory Burch

Scarf, tank & jeans - Gap

Cardi & belt- J.Crew



I don't think I could've survived this winter without a scarf, Gap always skinny jeans, and my favorite riding boots.  My other shoes have been crying out in anger, begging for attention... and I'm a harsh little lady who ignores them steadfastly.  Have you had a serious addiction to items in your closest this past winter?

J.Crew mini haul

I recently got a 20% off in-store coupon to J.Crew.  After work Tuesday decided to make a quick stop by Green Hills to one) try on the Stuart Weiztman 'Alex' Espadrilles (I can neither confirm nor deny that I have since ordered them in khaki) two) attempt to buy new sunnies with a Sunglass Hut coupon (why do I always look ridiculous in sunglasses?) and three) hit up my beloved J.Crew.

This is what I ended up snagging:

 Battered denim belt  Husband loved this belt.  :)  It was the only thing I purchased that wasn't already on sale.

Jackie cardigan in orchid shadow

Forever cardigan in light flamingo

Lunette mini in dark navy  Marked down from $85 to $24.  Yessss!

What I wish I was able to pick up:

 Day-tripper pant 

Sold out in store in all three colors in my size.  I thought these would be adorable with the espadrilles I may or may not have purchased and they are so comfortable.

Wedge Obsession

I have basically been sweating these Stuart Weitzman 'Alex' Espadrilles since spotting them on Jennifer Aniston last year.

But because my mind tells me I'm a millionaire and my bank account tells me I'm definitely not, I think I'll go with the $69 version by Steve Madden. 

I mean... close enough... right?  That's what I'm going to keep telling myself.

Sandal perfection

Jeffrey Campbell 'Big Bow' Sandal

Pink? Check.

Bow?  Check.

Trendy snake print?  Check.

Maybe husband will purchase these for my birthday later this month.

Bummin'

Have I been a total blog bum or what?  I've been trying to work with what I have instead of buying clothing.  I've put on weight since getting married and I refuse to buy anything a size up.  Ok, not really because I totally bought new black crop pants from Gap last week (seen below).  But other than that, I'm putting my foot down and contemplating working out.  ha!  When the weather gets a little nicer, I plan on taking Ruby to the Greenway to rollerblade since I can't take my bike without help.  I'm ready for spring just like everyone else, winters are so crippling.

I wore this today to Sunday Brunch:

Tops - Kohls

Skirt - J.Crew

Pumps- Jessica Simpson

And then changed into this to run a couple errands...

 *sorry for the blurriness*

Top - Kohls

Belt - J.Crew

Pants - Gap

Flats - Tory Burch Reva

I broke down and bought a pair of Revas as a gift to myself for my 2 year Trauma Survivor anniversary.  I wore them with tights last week which was much more comfortable than with a bare foot as pictured above.  The top of the shoe digs into my foot causing it to turn red and itch.  It's not a sizing issue because I bought my usual size, a 6.5, and there is a little wiggle room in the back.  Not quite what I expected for the price point but you live and learn.  I will probably not purchase Tory Burch flats again.  But I must say, I'm not crazy about flats in the first place because my limp is much more pronounced.  They are pretty to look at though!

I hope everyone is resting up today for the week ahead! :-)

Our new doghter, goldendoodle Ruby.

Please wish my husband patience as he will be home by himself tomorrow with a puppy.  I'm a little scared of what I'm going to come home to after work.
