I think its finally starting to cool off! Better break out the dresses while I can. This was my Friday outfit to the office but didn't have any time to post until today. Last night my wonderful husband took me to dinner at our favorite little spot Coup de Tartes it was SO yummy. We started off with the cheese platter that had the most wonderful creamy brie and then I had the fillet Mignon with a pesto butter and pomme frittes (fancy word for french fires) and a tomato stuffed with mushrooms and Parmesan it was utterly scrumptious especially since I have been eating so clean this week it was a real treat. He was so amazing all week not telling me where we were going and then when we arrived I reminded him that this place was a BYOB and we hadn't brought any wine. He had a showed up earlier that day and dropped off wine and beautiful Lillie's so they would be there when we arrived.....I LOVE HIM! It was a perfect evening and I it also gave me the perfect opportunity to try out my newly learned smokey eye. It looked great...I always feel like it is soo much makeup but in a setting like that it works.

My sister was down and we spent the first part of the day having lunch and going around to a few boutiques..one of which had a cupcake and champagne event and everything was on major sale. Considering nothing in the store is over $39 anyway I was forced to stock up!

Either way still perfecting that smokey eye and would love to see your take!

So......Today I stopped on my home to get my husband a anniversary card and the soundtrack to Crazy Heart (great CD by the way). I decided on Target because it would be a one stop shot and its on my home...BAD IDEA. I parked my car turned of the music and had a heart to heart with myself and my credit card....NO SHOPPING. You have no money I warned and you have mega bills this month and you have PLENTY. After a little debating and convincing we agreed that it was for the best. Deep breaths, feeling strong and were walking. Hello Mr. Target greeter, hello Target return girl that probably knows me by name...and were walking. Eyeing the clothes but were walking. CD check, card check.....maybe I can just see if they have a eyeshadow brush? Then it happened....standing in line thinking I should have grabbed a hand cart!!!!! I should be outlawed! Did you know that when you are a hardcore gambler you can go into the casino and tell them to never let you in....sign a few papers take a few photos and wham they will seriously arrest you if you show up. I need a program like that....serious...stat. Although I would probably just dress up in disguise. I am a terrible person and I need help......probably need help paying my car insurance this month that's for sure.

Anyone tried matte nail polish (had this in my hand today but was able to talk myself out of it). The Sisters had this amazing post about it but I would like some more feedback? I love the OPI copper business in the first shot.

Was it something I ate?

Well I have been eating extremely healthy for two days now and I feel back to my old self....I am always amazed by how much food changes my perception on life. Haven't been back to the gym since last Tuesday but plan to hit it up this Saturday for sure!

Tomorrow is my 4 year wedding anniversary!! I seriously can't believe that I have been married for that long. I was always the girl that was NEVER EVER even if my life depended on it and there was someone with a gun to my head going to ever say to death do us part. Now I am happily married to a man with two children of his own...who knew? I figure since I NEVER EVER even if my life depended on it and there was someone with a gun to my head want children that its best to have someone else pop them out for you. I don't recommend saying that to the "baby mama" though...they don't find it as amusing as you and I. So back to the 4 years...holy huh? My husband has been hogging the computer all night "making plans", he won't tell me what he is doing and apparently the restaurant won't accommodate his request?? I tried to tell him that restaurants don't let strippers in.....or rather he told me.

What could he be planning? I have to wait till Saturday to find out??????

Its in the Bag

Not so much a what I wore post although I did wear the accessories yesterday. That my sister and I at the top during a LONG night as you can see.

So the dilemma of the day is bangs or no bangs??? Need help here! I think I want them.....going to my guy on Saturday we will see what he says? My husband is no help he just tells me that he thinks whatever I do will look good...what does he know? Bangs can be a nightmare done wrong but I need something new. I got a hair up my ass yesterday about it and had pretty much decided I was going home and doing it right away!! Luckily for my strands I started doing some google searches and was firmly scolded by that notion and told to never EVER again think about doing something so self destructive....so I called my guy.

That's right I am pretty much all Target today! Now that I see the pics up I feel like my shoes give it the "too matchy" look. I think the hardest thing about dressing is finding a balance of style and "work appropriate" I have so much more fun with my weekend or casual outfits. Finding something that is work ready is truly the hardest for me. Sometimes it comes of as too crisp of color coded. Not soft enough. I think a simple pair of black pumps would have pulled this outfit together better? I just couldn't resist putting these yellow heels on. They are always overlooked and I heard that if I didn't wear them soon they were going to find a different closet. They are also one of my husbands favorites...mostly because he likes anything yellow.

I am having an issue with liking the outfit in the mirror but not so much in the pics? Not to mention I am having a serious issue finding an easily accessible location...aka somewhere at my house. Its not realistic for me to go somewhere everyday even if I do everything possible its just doesn't work. I have a pretty yard but feel to damn silly out there with all my neighbors watching! In fact we were doing it anyways (the pictures,,,jeez get your head out of the gutter) the other day and the neighbor pulled into the driveway!! I immediately was like "quick let me take a pic of you so I don't feel like a idiot" ha ha. She even got out and offered to take a pic of us....too funny! I blurted out "oh no thanks we are just checking out the camera" I am such a liar! I was surprised by my quickness to lie about it also...those words just sort of fell out of my mouth without even thinking about it!

Anyone ever tried ShoeDazzle??? Thoughts?

This outfit was so comfy I wish I could be that comfy everyday! Full house this weekend with my four year old nephew so comfort is a must!
I haven't felt myself lately...just tierd and agitated for some reasonn? I can't seem to get enough sleep. I think its the quiiting smoking (or trying at least) and the change in my work schedule that has got me all miffed. Hopefully everything balances out soon so that I can get back to being me. Today I am also super comfy and hopefully will get a chance to take some pics. It is so hot outside today but we are going to try and get the boys out of the house for a bit.

Would love some pics form girls out there and how they are wearing their high heel oxford shoes cause I can't seem to find anything that I like them with.

So I took to many pictures yesterday and now made it into two posts...I love the pic of the buttons up close. I really love that shirt all together but wish that it wasn't so see through. I am trying to get use to this whole blog thing...I must admit I think about it constantly! I had a page view from Canada, Korea, and the United Kingdom!! Three in Canada actually....SO EXCITING! Guess I wasn't fascinating enough to follow yet?? That's okay though I will get there, if you knew me you would know I am pretty damn fascinating!! hehe

Anyhow dragged my arse out of bed this morning WAY earlier than I would like for a Saturday..actually is wasn't earlier but there is something about having  to wake up and waking up on your own that are totally different...woke up to go to the gym with my girlfriend. Started my staple gym day oatmeal and literally the moment I pressed...go oatmeal go on the microwave what happened? Ding Ding from my phone with a text saying that she not going. I must admit I was equal parts disappointed and relieved but due to the oatmeal I had to get up for good. Story of my life!

Would love some advice from seasoned bloggers on what I could do to make my site better and/or any stories about how you got started?? How long did it take to get a follower or a comment...did you feel the need to change your background every five seconds just because you can?
