Back from Disney!

but....not quite back to the living. On our last day at Disney World I started to feel chills and aches. On Monday I went to the dr. and they seem to think I have the flu. I think it's more likely I have whatever passing virus my big boys had the week before we left for Florida. Either way, I have no time for being sick. Sawyer's 5th birthday is tomorrow, his party is on Saturday and the laundry continues to multiply at an alarming rate. I hope to be back to blogging (mine and yours!) next week. See you then!

OOTD - Precious Materials

Every so often I feed myself the "you can live without it" line. After so much time passes, I find myself on Ebay wondering why I ever listen to that reasonable voice inside my head. Such is the case with the Precious Materials Cardigan - I thought I could live without out, and was wrong! I had this adorable piece all packed up for Disney, but decided I wanted to wear it to my uncle's 60th Birthday Party tonight, too. Of course I first had to attend Harrison's 8am basketball game (he scored three baskets!) and my husband was quick point out the obvious - I was way overdressed. Sometimes I think he's just jealous because he coaches the team and has to wear the assigned uniform...it's no where near as cute!

OOTD - A-Bit-Unruly

I wanted to try out the outfit I created on Polyvore and see how it would translate IRL. I have to admit, while I thought the pairing was cute, the colors were just too Spring-like for me to wear today and I swapped the outfit out - but I do look forward to wearing this next month :)

A-Bit-Unruly Top






Here is the tee on it's own, the neckline detail is really cute. The top is thin, but not so much so that I needed a cami underneath. I am wearing an XS and think this one runs a bit big.


I'm off to Sawyer's tennis lesson and then to the pharmacy - the prescription cream I bought Graham yesterday has disappeared....it's probably with the ball he sent down the floor vent a few days ago. Sigh. I hope they will refill it for me without too many questions ;)

OOTD - Woody Nymph Dress

This little number might not be the most special or exciting dress, but the Woody Nymph scores bonus points for comfort and ease! I have a parent teacher conference this afternoon at Harrison's school and then I need to start packing for Disney World once the boys are in bed - I can't wait for the surprise on Sunday morning!

Too Big a Bauble - Spinning Top Necklace Review

I had really high hopes for Anthropologie's Spinning Top Necklace, which is why I pulled the trigger at full price. Unfortunately, this piece just didn't work IRL, the chain is really dark, the bauble is really big, and overall I just felt it didn't lay well. The colors are beautiful, I'll give it that.

OOTD - Tea Party

Okay, technically the party we attended this afternoon to celebrate my adorable little cousin was a Pirate and Princess theme...but since I wasn't daring enough to wear a tutu and tiara I went for the girliest new addition to my closet and paired it with pink shoes. Sidenote - I think I'll have this dress hemmed...

Harrison scored two baskets in his game today, the party was a lot of fun with family and included TDF Red Velvet Cupcakes (I'm bowing to you, Gina!) and we were able to buy couches for our almost completed basement (I am so ready to be done with the dust!). All in all it was a great day, but I'm so exhausted it would take a magic wand to keep my eyes open much longer. I hope I can catch up on some sleep tonight!

OOTN - Lesson Learned, Drive Separately Next Time

Tonight was Girls Night Out with my neighbors, and since I don't drink, I'm always the designated driver. I wouldn't mind, except that staying out until 1am is way, way past my bedtime. The good news is that I got to wear my new top and cute shoes. The bad news is that my oldest has an 8am basketball game in the morning.
