Tortoise & Pumpkins

I guess I must be in he halloween spirit because it appears I am wearing a lot of pumpkiny colors this week! I finally caved and bought myself a pair of tortoise Juliets off of eBay. I usually like to wait for better deals on my J Crew shoes (like under $40) but I decided that I had wanted a pair of these long enough and the price was what i would have paid for in the store so after a year of trying I decided it was time.

Yesterday we signed the adoption papers....yay!!! Now all we do is wait for the court date to make it all official. But as of yesterday he is no longer considered a foster placement, he is now an adoptive placement. Baby steps ;)

This picture did not capture how adorable this cropped sweater jacket is. I love it, it is an easy casual, easy going piece. It  is part of the next LOFT holiday roll out so it is not online or on the floors yet but it may be sitting in the backroom of your store. The style number is 254417 and the price point is $89.50 but you can get it with the current 30% off promo in your stores. Also, if you shop by October 31st you can purchase a $25 LOFT cares card that goes towards the breast cancer research foundation. In return you get a 20% off coupon for all purchase over $100 through Nov 15th (it is reusable and it gets you 25% off if you use your LOFT loves credit card). The promos and sales are combinable with thiscoupon pays for itself if you spend like $130. Sounds a little confusing but trust me, they can calculate it for you at the register and it can help save you bundles on a larger purchase.

And now for the Key Lime Pie recipe. This is the easiest and yummiest key lime pie recipe I have ever come across....trust me, it is soooooo delicious!

Ingredients:

9"graham pie crust (this is a little larger size then standard)
5 T of powdered sugar
1 cup of sour cream
1 cup of key lime juice
2 14oz cans of sweetened condensed milk
2 eggs
optional: lime zest for garnishing


Preheat oven to 325 degrees

Whisk together lime juice, condensed milk and eggs in a large bowl until fully blended and smooth. Pour into pie crust. Bake for 17 minutes.

Allow pie to chill for 2 hours in freezer, remove. Mix sour cream and powdered sugar and spread over the top of pie with spatula. Garnish with lime zest.

And lastly, here are some pictures of the toddlers from the other day. Since Christopher is "in disguise" I can share his photo with you- I can't wait until the adoption is official! Can you believe they are just three months apart?? Cooper is a linebacker and Christopher is our little tater tot!

There are some other GREAT ideas in this Polyvore Collection , can I wear this skirt everyday for a month...would that be strange ;o)  I have been making a few last employee purchases at Macy's. I finally grabbed the Nude Bandolino pumps but I did them as a pre-sale for the Friends & Family event so I don't get to bring them home until the 28th. I also snagged the B. Makosky bag shown for under $40 (from $188). It is a great nuetral color!

7 Years of Sunshine....

Yesterday was my husband and my seven year anniversary. Our friends watched the kids and we were able to get away for a nice dinner. I am still full. Here is what I wore:
I just love my sunshine peony pencil skirt and I noticed this morning that it is now on SALE for $64.99. If you have been eyeing this one, I say grab it!! It goes with everything! I had created this outfit as a Polyvore set last month. The only difference is that I switched to the dusty blossom maya cardigan versus the sweet guava.  Thanks for all your sweet words on my new job, I can't wait to start!
