Beach Hats & Sparkle Shoes

by //

Today I had a great shopping day with my friend Gertrude complete with my late Christmas gifts from her! She’s been in the Cayman Islands visiting her sister and she brought me back some goodies. If you follow me on twitter you already know about one of them. The other is this:

Beach Hat

Isn’t it great! I’ve been wanting a great straw hat for the beach and she read my mind! Well, actually I told her. 🙂  It snowed today, but I still wore my beach hat. It kept my hair dry!

Oooo! And check out my new Tom’s! I just got them and their my first pair. I think it will be the first of many. They’ve got so much more support than I thought they would. Do you have a pair?

SNOW DAY!

by //

Totally didn’t expect the snow today, but it was kind of fun. We really only have a dusting here, but the flakes were HUGE! I put this outfit on before I knew there was snow and didn’t get to leave it on long for a couple of reasons.

  1. I didn’t want to ruin my new shoes/my feet were freezing.
  2. I had so many layers on that I started feeling suffocated! You know when you’re swimming and most of your body is under water and you start to feel like you can’t breath? Well, that’s what was going on with the 3 shirts I had on. Ha ha! It’s OK, I’m in more breathable layers now and am feeling much better.

What Are You Doin’ New Year’s Eve?

by //

It’s almost 2011! Woohoo!

Tomorrow is my mom’s birthday. So today, my little sister and I are taking her out to celebrate. There will be shopping (wish me luck in these heels!) and lunch involved. It’s going to be great. I wanted a little sparkle, for the day, so I went with this shirt. It’s going to be almost 70 during the day and tonight it’s going to drop down to about 30. Hello St. Louis weather. So I’m trying to strategically plan my day of outfits. I may not come home before going out tonight. Got any suggestions? Ha ha!

OK, so here’s my Happy New Year/Happy Birthday Mom outfit. Do you think it needs a belt? I couldn’t find a good one in my closet to go. Hmmmm…..
