Trick or Cheat

Okay, so I am cheating a little bit by using a picture from this post but I hadn't actually worn this outfit yet and it seemed perfect for Halloween. The only difference was that I had my hair pulled back (and I have lost the summer tan) and I was too tired after church and work (I very RARELY work Sundays) to snap a picture so I am recycling.

I figured we'd be slow on Halloween but it was crazy busy! I love days when a lot of customers want to be styled and have their outfits put together and Sunday was definitely one of those days.....loved it!

And today I received my "let's kiss and make up" gift from J Crew (although I could never stay mad at them) that I talked about here.

I had decided to hold on to it for awhile and save it for an in store visit. That lasted a few hours before I took advantage of the extra 25 promo (FALLSALE) and ordered these:

Chase just had to have the tee since it said "defeat is impossible" and he seems to think he is the next Hulk Hogan. Did you get anything during the promo? Also, what did you think of the November catalog that just arrived? I thought it was funny they shipped me an October catalog with the gift instead of the new one but I am far from complaining!

Ahoy

I have had a few weak moments. A cardigan I love popped back up, new LOFT arrivals for Fall are coming in and I am so absolutely in love with one jacket but guess what? I still haven't shopped.

I wore this to work last night. What? I know, I felt bad wearing all J Crew to work but it was a fun day and I didn't feel like completely changing for work. Plus, I knew it would be a mellow night after the 40% off sale had ended and the holiday weekend was over.

During the day I had on the top with my weekend jeans. We had a picnic at the lake, fed some ducks and played on the playground. I love how the toddlers are are such best friends that even when in a duck feeding frenzy they end up gravitated to one another. Next month, Christopher will have lived with us for two years and he and Cooper have a relationship as if they were twins (even though they are three months apart and look nothing alike). They have their own words, inside jokes and are attached at the hip at all times.

Work of Art

Today was another beautiful day in sunny San Diego!.I finished The Help the other day and was excited to finally read the new Stephanie Meyers novella I had pre-ordered. Note to self: Novellas are way too short. So now I am on to Heart of the Matter which so far is really promising. I love a book that is gets you from the beginning and even better I love picking out a book and being able to instantly download it on my Nook.

After lounging the first part of the day it was off to run errands and pick up some new flip flops and sandals for the boys. Here is what I wore, I am so glad I finally got this shirt (originally tried on here). I decided to pass on this shirt for full price, then again on sale. Finally I cracked and grabbed it off eBay. The detailing is so cool and it is not thin like the tissue tees.

So that is what I wore and this is what I picked up for me (hey, it is not July yet) on sale for just $19.99. My shoe wardrobe was seriously lacking flat sandals. Now to change into my sweats for movie night complete with icecream sundaes......yummmm.......
