OOTD- Sailor and Soldierly!!

I am totally going casual this week and 'it is what it is' peeps.  I collect gold charms for a bracelet and found this cute little anchor (which I fell in love with) and decided to pass on it but my wonderful hubby decided to surprise me with it!  Yesterday Anthro enticed me and I ended up getting this little number because I have looked and looked on eBay for this J Crew skirt I missed out on (and vowed to not miss out again!)  So the question I have is;  do you think this top would look cute with it?  Has anyone tried this top on and knows if it runs TTS, because I am usually a large at F21 and am worried the medium might be a too tight.  Here is what I wore Tuesday...

OOTD- Last heavy cardi (I hope!)

I have heard that Spring is actually going to arrive here soon (and I really hope it does) as much as I love my boots it's time to put those away and embrace Spring!  I looked at J Crew's final sale hoping to pick up some things for a great price but I have such an aversion to anything that has to do with Winter!!  Here is what I am wearing today (for the last time until next winter!)...

OOTD- Basketball birthday!

I have been off the grid- last week I started coming down with something and then ended up in bed for 4 days straight trying to get over this nasty virus!  I went to the doctor yesterday and she said it looks like I am on the mend.  Yesterday we had a birthday party for my little guy and all we wanted was a 'basketball hoop cake?' so I spent half the day making what I thought was a basketball hoop cake.  I was kinda relieved there was no sale today but I am still dying to grab this little number!  Here is what I wore yesterday...

*I have had so many ask I wanted to say- no I have not found my wedding ring yet, I got a fakey to wear in the mean time!*

OOTD- No need to re-invent the wheel!

After seeing Kim and Jess I decided I wanted in on the outfit too.  So I put this little ensemble together, I love the blog-o-sphere for this very reason.  Off to run errands today (not the fun kind, what are the fun kind you ask?  Ones without kids in tow that involve a trip to the mall!)  Here is what I am wearing today...

And these little guys are too cute to not picture!

A little trip to visit the sun!

Wow I really chose a good time to come home with snow/freezing temps!  I wanted to share a few pictures from my recent trip to Mexico (sans kids!)  No OOTD today because we are getting granite counter tops today and life is a bit CRAZY!  My little guy also turns 4 today where did the time go?  Alright onto the pictures!

In Vegas we ate at Serendipity3 I LOVE that frozen hot cocoa!

Ready to board the ship!  

Sang some Karaoke!!!  

LOVED every towel animal we got (and have the pictures to prove it!)

Went snorkeling and my Sister took this shot just for the blog she told me- it's my Baywatch moment.  I got this swimsuit at Hapari FYI.

We went 4-Wheelin' on the beach!

Had to stop at Senior' Frogs for chips and salsa, and VIRGIN Pina Colada's!

Went out almost every night to see the beautiful stars!

Did 12 Zip lines- SO FUN!!!

Ate WAAAAAAY too much!!!  Went for wings almost every night after eating all three meals!

Dressed up for 'formal night' and enjoyed lobster!

Went for all you can eat sushi YUM-O! 

Did I mention we ate like champs?  That's what a cruise is all about! 

Missed my kids like crazy but had lots of time to read, relax, shop and enjoy some one on one time with my wonderful hubby!!!  I am already for another cruise!  

*Off topic but I wanted to report on this mascara- I give it a thumbs down it flakes all over my cheeks throughout the day.  Stick with this little guy because it's awesome and only like 6 bucks!!!!  Are you sick of me yet?  Because I am!  Have a wonderful day!!!

OOTD- Beaded Eglantine makes an appearance!

In Las Vegas I hit up Anthro and found this cute little cardi on second cuts YAY!!!  It satisfied my longing for this little guy (at least for now!)  So I paired it with my new love, these comfy pants can I tell you how glad I am that I grabbed them (on sale no less!)  It's so cold here so I will have to roll down these guys before heading out, but I love that they have options!  Here is what I am wearing today...

Lastly I want to say that I finished reading the book Matched and I LOVED it!!!!  If you liked the The Hunger Games this is a MUST read!!!

OOTD- I'm baaaaaaaaack!

We had the best time on our vacation, so much fun!!!  I have a 'cruise baby' because I ate too much but that's what vacation is all about!!  I will do a post later this week with some pictures from our vacay!  We had so much fun and did some serious shopping!!!  I did pick up these as promised and hello I LOVE them!!!  Here is what I wore to church yesterday...

Did I mention as we drove home we hit a snow storm??  It's cold here and my laundry is outta control!  Welcome back!!!  At least we *hopefully* have a sale to look forward too!!

Wishlist...

Here is my latest wishlist, I have limited it to only 5 items so it's actually realistic!

Once you hit sale I will give you another try!


I know I am late to the table with this one, but if this looks good on me (and my love handles) I totally want it!


Perfect accent piece!


I love these nude heels!!!  I am worried they will be a little too tall and as crazy as it sounds one of my New Year's Resolutions was to buy more heels that are 3 1/2 inches or less (don't judge!)


And lastly some ankle length 'jeggings' are a must for Spring!

What is your wishlist right now?
