Friday night I got home and realized I spilled on my dress, so I switched to the dress that arrived in the mail – the “Kate” dress from J. Crew in “Flame.” This is a bright orange-red that I adore. On sale and with a coupon so the dress was a cheap as Old Navy. Score! Same accessories.
Attended a circle of women in my community which was really wonderful. Met some new people, connected closer with those I already knew, had some of the BEST watermelon of the season!
Saturday… for the life of me I cannot remember Saturday. Oh yes, yoga, then lunch with my mom, then ran errands. I came home and tried out some of the camping supplies for our upcoming trip to Bonnaroo, waterproofed my Duo boots, took a nap, went out to dinner… nothing terribly exciting and no pictures.
Sunday began with errands and then yoga.

We had a great time, saw lots of friends, played with their son who just turned 1, chilled on the beach and grilled for dinner. Got a bit of sun even though I put on the SPF 30.

It was clear in these past four years that we didn’t elect just a president, but a whole administration/regime. Your vote isn’t just for a president, but an entire administration and we need… Continue Reading Weekend Reads #116
Each season I try to give you a few pieces that can be added to your wardrobe to give it a fresh look. Many seasons itโs pretty cut and dry โ a chunky heel, a metallic sandal, a white sundress. This spring is not so specific. There are a few trends that seem big for… Continue Reading Updating your Wardrobe for Spring/Summer 2007
Attire: Olian Maternity – Pink jersey top (on sale at Nordstrom for like $29 and totally worth it – super comfy, easy to wash, gorgeous color, doesn’t itch or even feel as though you’re wearing anything) Old Navy Maternity – Black ponte trousers (expect to see these a LOT in the next couple of months)… Continue Reading Tuesday
I used to have a closet full of dresses. Expensive dresses. I justified the investment (doesnโt that sound better than splurge?) because not only were they appropriate professionally, but one dress required little thought in the morning, whereas a two-piece suit also required a blouse option, and three wardrobe components were two too many for… Continue Reading A Life, Replotted: Dressing the Part

LOVE that dress with those sandals. What a fantastic color, reminds me of that long ago blood orange Mizrahi sweater at Target.
