Two for Tuesday: Killing It

The 3.1 Phillip Lim for Target collection may have been a bust... 

(That's my personal opinion - clearly most people disagree since it is sold out almost everywhere...)

But, Target's Shoe Department has been KILLING IT lately.

This summer I walked out of there with three pairs of wedges in one shopping trip!  That is CRAY!

And on Saturday, I walked out of there with not one, but two pairs of boots.  Oh shhhhhhhhh!  I needed them both!

Check them out.  I know you'll understand...

1.  Sam and Libby Booties:

They are fierce.  You should buy them.
Women's shoes are BOGO - plus free shipping over $50

2.  Mossimo Cropped Cowboy Boots

These are super comfy.  You'll probably wan to buy these too.
(Have I mentioned BOGO???!!!!!)

What do you think about Target's shoes lately?

I'd also love to hear your thoughts on the Philip Lim collaboration.  Worth the hype?  Or cheap imitations?

Love ya like I love Target BOGO shoe sales!

Central Park

As promised, here are the details on the outfit I wore in the city on Friday.  What a perfect fall day in Central Park!

Let's go from top to bottom, shall we?

I am wearing my favorite beanie from Forever 21, Mossimo for Target sunglasses, Kenneth Cole hoop earrings, Ann Taylor cashmere scarf, faux leather jacket by Buffalo, H&M sweater, Old Navy bag, a.n.a jeans and you guessed it, my Fabianelli riding boots from Marshalls.

And now for some action shots...

You love me ;)

That's all for now kids.  Time to get some online Christmas shopping done.

What about you?  Snagging any Cyber Monday deals?  Do share!

Weekend Wardrobe

I know, I know, I know...it's Wednesday.  What I wore this weekend is old news.  In my defense, I've been working on a piece for a book that needs to be in to my editor by July 1.  So yeah, blogging is on the back burner until I get it done.

With that said, I am LOVING writing again.  I know I write my blog, but this is different.  It's like reuniting with a new friend.  My dining room table is covered in books and journal articles, highlighters are out, and notes are being taken.  It.feels.so.good.

But I digress, and this is after all, a fashion blog, sooooo on to the clothes...

Saturday we celebrated our five year wedding anniversary with margaritas at Salena's outdoor bar and dinner at Good Luck.  So delish!  Here is what I wore:

Anthropologie dress and bracelet, Calvin Klein heels, Louis Vuitton bag,
Michael Kors watch, Banana Republic earrings, vintage ring

In front of Good Luck

Posing...

Love the criss cross back!

At the table wearing my new chocolate diamond necklace and ring.
The hubs and I said we weren't exchanging gifts...
Naughty, naughty.

Instagram/Picstich summary of the evening

For Father's Day we laid low.  Went to church, cleaned out the garage, dinner at TGI Fridays, and shopping at BJ's wholesale... ahhh the glamourous life I lead!

Mossimo for Target shoes,  MinkPink skirt via Dado, Michael Kors watch,
H&M tank, Anthropologie belt, Forever 21 sunglasses

Colt is wearing Carters shorts and polo shirt, Toy Story alien socks,
 and a plastic lei as ammo.  My kid is awesome.

Despite it being hump day and the week being half over...how was your weekend?  Any exciting plans for this weekend coming up?  I think it's time to BBQ with some friends...drinks on the deck, anyone?

Sunday Stylings

Yesterday was a perfect upstate New York summer day (and it's technically not even summer yet:  bonus!)  Here is what I wore for a morning at church followed by some fun in the sun:

 Church:

Forever 21 dress, Anthropologie belt, Michael Kors watch,
Forever 21 bangles, Mossimo for Target shoes,
Acute Designs earrings, Forever 21 sunglasses

Earring closup

Beach

Cowboy hat (that my husband made fun of me for buying 6 years ago but I still love it),

I can not for the life of me remember where I bought that sarong...

My crew at dinner at Abe's.  The food was pretty terrible, but we had a nice view of the water...

Well that's my Sunday in a nutshell.  How was your weekend?

On Turning 30, Memorial Day, and Fallen Heroes

Turning 30 was anticlimactic.  I still feel like I'm 14 (aside from the bad back and that whole being married with children thing).  Besides, isn't 30 the new 20 anyway!?!

And speaking of 20, my twenties were pretty damn good.  I met the love of my life at the ripe old age of 21, graduated from college and went on to earn my Masters.  I bought a house, got married, and moved to Rochester.  I gave birth to the two most amazing little boys on the planet.  And I think I finally figured out what I want to be when I grow up!  (Maybe!)

Thirty might have been scary if I was at a different place in my life, but I can't help but feel like I have so much to look forward to and this is only the beginning.

My 30th birthday celebration began the weekend prior in a limousine and ended Saturday night at Thirsty's in Pittsford, where I may or may not have met my first serial killer (but that's another story for another day).  All in all, I had back to back amazing weekends, celebrating with family and friends.  What more could a girl ask for?

Besides a new Michael Kors watch of course:

Present from the Hubs via Cornell's

Birthday outfit:

In the shade.
Mossimo for Target shoes and shades, Artwark necklace, Michael Kors watch, anthropologie dress and bracelet,
Fahsye ring, Stacey Kay Collection earrings

Fixing the 'do

I need a new pose.  And a new driveway apparently...

Accessories Closeup.
OPI Are We There Yet? Polish

In the end, I'm well aware that I am a very lucky girl and blessed in more ways that I ever could have dreamed.  So glad that you all are along for the ride!

I realize this should be two posts, but do to residual back issues, my birthday post didn't go up as scheduled, so let's just change gears, shall we?

Happy Memorial Day everybody!  I hope you all spent the weekend celebrating with loved ones, barbecuing out back, taking in a parade, running through a sprinkler, or all of the above.  And to all those serving and who have served - thank you for your sacrifice.  My prayers go out to all those families who have lost loved ones fighting for our great nation.   Let's all take a moment to remember that our freedom isn't free.  God bless you and God bless the USA!

Remembering our heroes at the Memorial Day parade in Fairport.

PS- In honor of Memorial Day, why not make this fashion statement?

Made by Survival Straps.  Fifty percent of proceeds go to the Wounded Warrior Project.

Pregnant in Heels

Poetic License shoes via Lilipad Creations, GAP maternity jeans, 

Kate Spade bag, Old Navy maternity tee, Forever 21 sparkly cardi and necklace, 

Mossimo for Target sunglasses, Michael Kors watch, vintage ring and bracelet.

OK, so I'd love to tell you that I look like this every day and that I'm just that much of a woman that I can walk around with a 30lb bump in 4 inch heels. Sadly, this is not the case. I've spent the last few months in the same pair of Old Navy boot cut maternity jeans, some boring t-shirt and sweater, and shuffling around in these hideous KMart slide-on, slipper-looking beasts because they are comfortable and most importantly, I don't have to bend over to put them on.

On Sunday, some great friends threw me and another prego friend of mine a "Sprinkle" in honor of our babies-to-be, so I figured it was a good a time as any to try to put an actual outfit together and blow dry my hair. This was the end result:

Side View

If you had xray vision you'd be able to see the leopard slippers in my bag.
I lasted about an hour in the shoes...not bad if you ask me. :)

I have to admit that I cannot wait to have my body back and wear cute clothes again (not to mention lose the waddle). I'm 35 weeks today - so hopefully this baby will be here in 5 weeks or less and a few months after that the fashionista will be back in action. Here's to hoping!
