The leather on these shoes feels like butter! SO soft! Love them

It's the day before vacay! I am not sure how much posting will get done from Vero Beach for the next week, but you can be sure I will be catching up on reading everyone else's posts! I am in love with these new shoes by Miz Mooz! Carla of Simply Bubblelicious has them too! I snagged them during the Nordstrom sale, whoot! I hope you all have a GREAT week and I will do my best to update from my vacay! XXOO

How I Did it at the Taylor Swift Concert!

Top: INC, Shorts: J. Crew, Shoes: Steve Madden, Jewelry: LOFT

So I was determined NOT to buy something new for the Taylor Swift concert. I was texting with Aimee of Shopfast, because surely she understands how to handle restraint! She suggested shorts, and it hit me...I loved Carrie Underwood's look for the American Idol Finale!!! So this is how I did it. Yes the legs still need work to begin to compare, but overall it was fun and easy and kept me from buying something new! My daughter loved the concert! We sat on the 5th row thanks to Jenni Taylor at 97 Country! WOOO HOO! I listed some pictures I snapped before my camera died, boo! Best concert EVER!

30 for 30 Day 5

I know I have missed a few days, but this is day 5 of the 30 for 30 Summer Remix by myself and stylist Courtney Philpot! Since I am such a bad blogger...you can catch up at our True Style column site at Lakeland Local. I do have good excuses though. Graduating nephews, end of the school year parties, graduation parties, laundry, groceries. Wheww just listing it all makes me tired. I hope everyone had a great weekend, we saw Taylor Swift last night and it was INCREDIBLE! It was my 10 y/o's first concert and she was BLOWN away, we 5 rows from the stage. I was sure to tell her that this was NOT the norm for a Taylor Swift concert or any concert for that matter. We got extremely lucky thanks to Jeni Taylor at 97 Country. Thank you Jeni!!!! Pictures to come tomorrow! 

Awkward and Awesome Thursday

Awkward:
-The scolding I got from taking my coffee into the pediatric dentist office this morning. "Mam, we don't allow liquids in the waiting area." WHAT? It's 9am!!!
-The fact that I put on work out clothes today just because I didn't have time to get dressed appropriately. A visor and tennis shoes made it even more convincing!
-My son being "that child" that all of the moms shake their heads at while he terrorized the indoor play area in the lobby.
-My hair today.
-Driving through the carline yet once again when my daughter had an after school party to attend that I forgot about.

Awesome:
-My nephew is graduating this weekend!
-Nordstrom sale, and this new watch band that I scored for $35.00 YAY!
-New shoes.
-An impromptu date with my husband last night.
-My first organic buying club pick up today!!!
-My and Courtney's 30 for 30 remix through Lakeland Local. Check it!
-All of YOU!!!!

Beach Weekend

What a FUN weekend! We left the littles with grandma and took the older two. They never really get an opportunity to go on a diaper and "whine" free trip with us. It was GREAT to have this special time with them! I love my kids!!!! I sure hope all of you are having a fantastic Memorial Day weekend! We are so very blessed to be Americans! New cut: courtesy of the wonderful Ashley Jackson at Pat's Hair Design, new sunnies: Kenneth Cole, a Marshalls steal! Beads: Stella & Dot, bandeau swimsuit top: Lucky Brand, beach chair: Nautica, Sam's Club...hee hee!

Awkward and Awesome Thursday

Top: Target, Pants: Banana Republic, Sash, Necklace and earrings: Courtney's, Shoes: Lauren Conrad for Kohls

Awkward:
-The fact that my 3 year old calls my 2 year old "Dordy," and everyone at the park is staring at me like, "Why would she name her child that?"
-Facebook friend requests from total strangers just because we have one friend in common?
-Paying 100.00 a week for gas.
-Sending a sexy text meant for my husband to a friend by mistake...whoops!

Awesome:
-Our annual Memorial weekend trip to Hutchinson Island with friends beginning tomorrow!
-My mom is keeping the little ones so we may even be able to relax.
-The Nordstrom Memorial Weekend Sale!
-Brownie Mix is bogo this week and I have coupons!

Something Borrowed

Dress and Belt: Courtney's, Sunnies: Kenneth Cole, Bangle: Who knows?, Wedges: MIA

This is from an upcoming project that we are doing for our True Style  column. We are starting a Summer 30 for 30 for our readers. Today we spent the afternoon in my back yard until it got WAY too hot. We took 10 of the 30, with me being the "model" ha, as Courtney is expecting a precious baby girl!! We are starting our 30 for 30 on June first, so I will be sharing some of the photos here as well! I find I fall in love with most of Courtney's Closet! You have to check out her blog as she is the most amazing stylist!! This dress belongs to her along with the killer woven belt. I almost cried when I gave it back to her today! Ha! So check out her website and blog, she is fantastic!

Reuseable Sweetness

I cooked dinner for a sweet friend in honor of her new addition! I keep my empty jam and salsa jars around for fresh flowers! This was an Old Elpaso salsa jar and I LOVE the shape of it. Fill with fresh flowers and tie a bow and there you have it...reusable sweetness!

Picnic

I took a break from the brighter side of spring/summer today. This outfit makes me think of a picnic, which makes me think of camping, which makes me think of roasting marshmallows, which makes me want a smore. Too bad it is too hot here in Florida to go camping! Happy Monday!

And The Winner IS.......
