A LITTLE BIT OF GRUNGE

Hi guys! I feel like it has been a while from last week's post. I've dialed it down a little on blog posts because it seems like Carter is at the age where he is really really interacting and wanting to play and discover with mommy most times now. So I thought I'd spend extra time with him right now.  He's really been so much fun and just always something new everyday. He is working so hard on trying to stand on his own and still working on his crawling skills. He definitely has more interest on standing than crawling but he sure is doing a great job with standing. It will be interesting to see which one will come first. 

But posts on instagram are regular so if you are not yet following me there, come follow along! :) 

Anyway, I had a lot of fun with layering on this look. You know how a lot of women love wearing all black? Well I think I'm the gray version of that. If I can wear gray or all gray everyday, I think I would. I also mentioned before that I'm really liking the new grunge style and so I thought it would be fun to rock a little bit of that. Found these really fun pins from Zara. Would also be fun to find cool patches to sew in the denim jacket but I haven't really gotten the time to look around. The nice thing about these pins though is you can easily remove them when you are not feeling them anymore.  Love these jeans from Zara. Haha it might look like I did a Zara haul here but I promise I actually got these Zara pieces all at different times. 

Anyway, I hope you guys all have a wonderful week! :)

Happy new week and also a short week guys! It was so nice to be able to spend the 3 day weekend with my boys. We had a fun and relaxing long weekend. I hope you guys had a wonderful weekend too! 

So one of my favorite things to do with my over the knee boots is to wear them with midi skirts and uneven hem skirts.  I just really love the look and it's not something you see all the time. And from there you can totally play with layering, I think that any jacket, coat or cardigan would easily look good with a midi skirt and otk boots combo.  I wore this for a dinner out,  we had some family in town.  The jacket was perfect for the chilly, evening weather. 

Anyway, have a great week guys!!

LEATHER, LACE AND PRADAS

 

Happy Friday guys!! I had a really great start today. Carter decided to sleep from 7:30PM- 7:00Am!! 

I mean he sleeps pretty good from like 7:30PM and would wake up once at like 5 or 6am to feed 

then sleep again for a couple more hours. It's pretty good unless he is undergoing a growth spurt or 

some sleep regression. But it really makes such a huge difference when you actually sleep straight 

without so much interruption, you just feel so much rested in the morning. 

So we went and got a Starbucks treat for me and we were able to sit out in our patio since it was still 

nice and cool and I was able to do some work there. 

This week has been kind of nuts for me. Carter's sleep patterns are changing, so this week I tried to 

re-schedule everything to fit in to see when he wants to do his naps now.  So I have to schedule 

everything around it and hope we get a pattern down this week so when we resume back in to 

schedule next week that he would just fall asleep at his "nap time" wherever we are.  Funny, re-doing 

your whole routine and schedule is actually exhausting and I felt so scattered this week. But I think 

we got his new nap times figured out and hopefully next week would be much smoother. 

Before we continue though, I would just like to remind you guys that you can still join our $500

So anyway, let's talk about this outfit!  Oh my gosh I totally fell in love with this dress as soon as I 

saw it!! And the price I can't even believe for the style and quality. It's totally a must have piece in 

your wardrobe.  Because the color is neutral you can totally do so much with it. I wore it with my 

moto jacket to balance off the daintiness of the dress and give it some edge. And these Prada 

sunglasses  in this color - I'm totally obsessed with!! Like Obsessed! I totally love it!! It just goes 

with everything, dressed up or down!! Really!! Thanks to ShopDitto, I get the chance to try it out

Going matchy-matchy today and the thing that I really love about this is the midi skirt. Love the shape and the length and of course that that it's stripes! And to dress it down I wore it with my slides. Looks like the top is sold out so I attached similar piece above. But you can always wear with another solid color top too. 

Our little dinner with friends went well last weekend. Carter actually did really really good. I think he likes being social. He just hung out and chilled with everyone, giving everyone his toothless smiles and not even caring who ever is holding him. Haha, he was so cute! Then he cried a little when it was his bedtime and we did his bedtime  routine and took about 5 minutes and he was asleep. Whew! Hope he stays good and social.

Anyway, what did you guys get up to last weekend?

Well me and Mark are not really doing anything huge tonight!! We'll just be waiting for the kids and giveaway tons of treats!! It's always so fun to see all the cute little munchkins and adults all dressed up! 

Anyway, I posted this outfit on instagram and got a lot of questions as to where I got the outfit! So here it is now! :) I must say that I do love every piece in this look because they are all so versatile. It's also pretty surprisng how much this whole outfit cost! it is very budget friendly! It was super windy when we shot this so forgive me but my hair and the fringes on my purse were flying all over! Lol! Well hope you guys all have an awesome weekend, I can't believe November is rolling in! 

Stay safe this weekend!!
