A SPLASH OF COLOR IN THIS POWDER WHITE WORLD OF MINE

Good afternoon to you all! I have to say today has been a wonderful wintery day. I woke up to a world of powdered sugar streets and rooftops. Certainly a first in my 25 years. Again I was much more excited about the snow then Weston was. I am sure if Kavin understood he would be just as excited as I was. Well thats wishful thinking on my part.

I had a reader ask if I could post some pictures of my tattoos. So that is exactly what I did today. Well some of them.. not all. I will soon post the other two and maybe give a hint as to my next ideas. :) Darn you tattoos for being so addicting. All of my tattoos have great meaning to me.. not one is a random mark of ink. Enjoy!

my rose tattoo is by far my favorite one. 

first tattoo I got. 

"ich druecke mich durch meine kunst aus"

So as every girl does I changed again. :] I was in the need for something more cozy and comfe.

THE RAIN TURNED INTO ICE

Considering the dramatic change in temperature I have been having quite a ball in the wardrobe department. I would always wish for weather that I could layer in while living in CA... well folks I most certainly have that kind of weather now! Along with fun looks that need to be explored I tend to go more on the lines of comfort. Being a mom dosnt mean I need to dress like a mom but comfortable is definitely a must in my life.

THE PERFECT PARTY SHOE

Look no further..

HAPPY HOLIDAYS

SIMPLICITY

Today was full of wind and rain which of course is only lovely when spent indoors. Otherwise rain sprinkles are splattering on your face from all directions = NO fun!

The majority of my day was spent cleaning and snuggled up on the couch watching netflix. I was very anxious to test out the new very soft and fuzzy blanket.. perfect weather by the way.. and the new netflix setup through our Wii. Thank heavens I don't have to connect the mac to the tv anymore! 1. hassle and 2. tripping hazard. The netflix lady was very sweet and patient as she walked me through the setup. We chatted about our kids, the weather, and our undying love for Oregon say no more California... you loose. I woke up with a scratchy throat this morning and can't seem to kick it to the curb. Crossing my fingers it dosnt turn into something more serious. Blahh I truly hate being sick. 

Today the little booger decided he would be a monkey and climb onto anything he could possibly climb onto. Keeping mommy on her toes for sure. I found it ever so hilarious when he ended up getting stuck and unable to get out of this position. He definitely didn't think it was that funny. Thats what happens when your a little stink! Adore this little guy ♥.

NIGHT TIME IS THE BEST TIME

To curl up and unwind from a day of playing SUPER MOM!!!. Cold nights are the most comfe of nights to relax, bundle up, enjoy the sweet sound of nothingness while sipping on a glass of wine.  xoxo

btw I could live in these thigh highs... so unbelievably comfortable. Thank you Target you always know how to put a smile on my face and a $0 in my account. 

RAIN DROPS KEEP FALLING ON ME HEAD

so why not having a little fun playing dress up indoors. I couldn't think of a better way to spend my day. Many things were pulled out from long ago and it was ever so nice to reunite with them again. 

pink bow shoes: Betsey Johnson

cardigan: j crew, shirt: forever 21 ( wore this while pregnant with kavin but spiced it up by adding a little fringe), skirt: american apparel, bag: miu miu, socks: anthropologie, shoes: zigi soho

blazer: vintage, shirt: monteau, clutch: vintage, shoes: zigi soho

hat: target, jean jacket: central park, dress: american apparel, socks: j crew, shoes: forever 21, clutch: vintage

"OH WOW"

Today was a day I needed to head over to my "GO TO" place for inspiration. The remarkable J Crew never lets me down. Here are a few of my "OH WOWS!" No other can layer like J Crew. I miss the days of styling. Hopefully once the kids get older I can get my foot back in that door. But as of now the hours are way to long and demanding for my kiddos to not have mommy at home. So for the meantime I will be content in styling myself. ♥

 I also stumbled across the 2011 Spring Collection here. " it's all just so perfect, from the messy side parts and bright coral lipstick to the expert monochromatic layering." I couldn't have said it better myself. GASP! Winter hasn't even opened its doors and I am already waiting for spring. This will be a fun and anxious wait. "/

How in the world is a girl suppose to save when she knows there is that blazer, or sequin skirt, or pleated short, or amazing cardigan, or.. or.. or..!?
