Nothin' like a Monday to b***h slap you back to reality! Yesterday I had a lovely day at home with the husband. I even made the best caramel apple pie...ever!!! Which we totally ate as dinner-because I was too exhausted from baking to figure out the rest of dinner..oops;)

But today, my friends, I have the Monday-itchy, burning, watery-eyed, my allergies are killing me- blues!! My son had a doctor's appointment and I had to make a grocery run so not getting dressed wasn't an option. I started out with an entirely different look in mind but nothing was coming together. In times like this I rely on some old favorites. A comfy cardigan, cords and my favorite flat shoes.

Now it's time for a cup of tea and my allergy meds!

And a little bit of cute so this post isn't so Debbie Downer........ 



Hubby closed the pool today(boo!!!) Here's Henry relaxing on the pool cover:)

florals...again

I feel like I'm on a roll! Maybe the cooler temps have inspired to actually get dressed and pull together a look instead of just trying to not to look like a hot mess in the heat and humidity. I forgot how much I adore tights. Yay for fall-cooler temps, boots, pumkin lattes, tights, and fall tv!!!

I got this skirt to wear out on our anniversary but this is the first time I've gotten to take a proper blog photo of it. It kind makes me wish I hadn't returned the crimson bubbles skirt:( Fellow Anthro lovers if you have that skirt and want to get rid of it send me an email;)

I went to a sweet little restaurant to have lunch with the hubby today. It would have been great if the two jerks at the table next to us weren't so freakin' loud!!! There were four people in the restaurant and we couldn't have a conversation because the other two were yuckin' it up like they had the place to themselves...rude!

Anyway, we're headed to get a pumpkin spice latte before pub trivia:)

See ya' on the flip side!

head in the clouds

I need more sweater dresses in my life! Much to my dismay I passed on Anthro's crocheted clouds dress.Boo!

Seriously, what was I thinking!!

Anyway, if there's anyone out there that has one in sz small and is willing to part with it, send me an email...help a sista out:)

I was dying for a pair of red jeans!Dying! But, I didn't want to pay an arm and a leg for them since I'm pretty sure the colored denim thing won't last for more than a season. I was wondering through tjmaxx when I found this pair for $12.99! It was a bit of sartorial serendipity:)

Red+pink+orange has become a favorite color combo and I'm pretty sure you know I have an undying love for florals and gingham;)

 Red,orange,pink,floral and gingham...winning!

Hello!Hello....is this thing on!?

Long time, no see;)

Friday morning, my bestie Nicole, texted me this message "Damn, Can I get a moment of whimsy!?" I obliged her by snapping these pics before work that morning.

Ha!! Sometimes all you need is a swift kick from a girlfriend to get you back in the groove.

So much has happened since I last posted-I got another year older, my youngest kid started high school(sad face), I went to my 20 yr. high school reunion(eek)!!

I definitely needed a break but man, oh, man did I miss this place.

So what's been going with you? Let's hear it.... 

as good as it gets

I just started reading my September issues and I long for fall! There is a certain glamour that comes with rich fabrics and saturated color, and boots...oh how I've missed them! But, let's be honest, today temperatures were in the upper 80s, I'm exhausted from work, and putting on heels and skirt was more than I could handle! So, this is as good as it gets:) And, I'm totally okay with that!

Have a good evening!

summer days drifting away

Today the Mr. and I had an impromptu midday date. We checked out the Farmer's market 

on Fountain Square! 

Beautiful fruits and vegetables...

Buckets of sunflowers!

Dizzying amount of food choices...

An acapella group treated us to a Motown classic!

BBQ pulled pork(heaven on a bun!) and slaw...

And a cupcake for dessert!

Today was perfect!
