Here is a view of my past week in pictures. I hope you enjoy everything from my adventures on the people mover to a concert at the historic Barnacle House, bath time with le bebe, ensembles and everything in between! Hope you had a great week and may your weekend be wonderful!

Thursday Threads: Baubles

Jewelry is such a great investment. It can last a lifetime, it doesn't matter if you gain a few pounds here and there then lose them. Usually, jewelry doesn't wear out...it a great way to keep simple outfits new and fresh. Here are some pieces that I would love to add to my collection.

This necklace from J.Crew is half paved. I really want it because I have the bracelet and wear it all the time. It's $138 and available online.

The J.Crew bubble necklace. Ahhh...how I love you. Today a friend of mine was wearing it with a classic nautical striped T and skinny jeans. She looked awesome in it. It's $150 and available online here. There is also an imitation one on Etsy which I've seen in  person and is amazing! It's only $49 here.

This necklace is gorgeous! I found it on Etsy for $235 and would be something I would wear often. I know a place in Miami where I might be able to get it made for less if not this would totally be worth it. 

Happy Shopping!!

Wadrobe Wednesday: New Glasses!

So I've essentially resigned to the fact that I prefer my glasses to my contacts these days. It started in February 2011 when I went back to work after having the baby. It was just easier. I then got my Ray Ban wayfarers and essentially fell in love with them...so I wore them alllll the time...still do. This year for Mother's Day I bought myself a new pair of glasses and a watch. The glasses have been on my face since Monday and the watch has yet to arrive.

The uppermost drawing is what I was wearing yesterday... my mustard yellow zipper closure J.Crew cardigan with navy and white stripe T from Target Webster collection, black skinny jeans from Nordstroms and gold Tory Burch revas.

The drawing below (done on iPad) is what I am wearing today....
1. Black Ray Ban cateye glasses
2. 2 J.Crew gold and acrylic ball long necklaces
3. Mustard yellow zipper closure cardigan, J.Crew
4. White top, Webster, Target
5. Green cropped jeans, Old Navy
6. Gold Tory Burch Revas

Hope you are having a great week!

Locket for Mom

My friend G at work decided that she wanted to give her mother one of my lockets for Mother's Day. G and her husband are expecting their first child and her sister doesn't have any kids, so this locket for her mom was of her two big girls. The end result was very sweet. G tells me her mom loved it and on my Facebook Page she said she would buy one for every woman in her life because they are such unique and special gifts. I know I am biased, but I agree, they really are special gifts.

Hope you are having a great week so far!

Music Monday: Smash

Sometimes I feel like I am the only person watching Smash on NBC. Am I? I really like it, and the original music that has been generated by the show. Let Me Be Your Star and History is Made at Night are my two favorites off the official soundtrack. This weekend I downloaded them both and heard them several times. So if you like Broadway you should watch the show and I'm sure you too will like the music.

Hope you had a great weekend!!

Thursday Threads: Webster Shop at Target

This past Sunday Target launched their "Shops" with clothing and accessories coming from Miami's own Webster. I did not rush to Target on Sunday morning like I did for Calypso, Missoni and Jason Wu...instead I went on Monday afternoon after baby girl's pediatrician appointment. What I found was a very fun collection reminiscent of Blanche Devereaux's couch on The Golden Girls.

I did not go crazy, I actually only bought one thing, the puff sleeve geometric dress shown above. It fits really well and I already wore it and got TONS of compliments on it. My friend Jessica from Singleton in the Kitchen bought more from the collection and she is over the moon happy about it. I will say--it's worth it. I tried on a bunch of things and could have bought more, but sizes were limited. I do plan on going back online and getting more, and probably getting some things for baby girl.Look for yourself online and shop for women, men and girls! :)

I will say that I ALSO found the greatest pair of mint green forgiving skinny jeans at Target courtesy of Mossimo. Singleton pointed me in their direction, and I reluctantly tried them on. I was thrilled when they were a great fit and a color that I have NOTHING of in my wardrobe! I tried looking for a picture of them online but could not. They come in mint green, pink, red, and teal. They are "fit 4" and  at $25 I highly reccomend them...as does Singleton!

Happy shopping!
