I love my family

We had a family session last month when Gavin was 9 months.  The weather here is unpredictable so our shoot was rescheduled several times.  Finally, on the last day we could shoot... the clouds parted and the sun came out.  Jenn of Out Came the Sun Photography did an amazing job.  We love how they turned out.  Here are a few shots from the day...

Meet and Greet Outfit

I generally tend to stick to black, gray, navy, and white but lately have been wanting to try out bright blues and greens.  My outfit for my friend's meet and greet for her 1 month old daughter. 

See the rest of my shopping haul HERE.

satin trim cardigan in black | kohl's

satin dress in serpent | old navy

mariela pump in leopard | inc international

lafayette long layering necklace in gold | junghwa by amy stewart

And me with the entire outfit together.  I love the gold necklace against the green dress and I think the leopard print shoes bring everything together in a really fun way.

These I already received and they are ah-mazing.  I'm 5'4" and all legs and these go up to my kneecap.  They're the perfect height and so comfy!  The cognac leather is more gorgeous in person and so buttery soft.  Plus I really love the buckle details.  These are my all time favorite boots!

Cute right?  I am going to be a very happy camper every time I get a delivery!!!

Alphabet Soup - Letter of the Day is E

First off, I want to say that I totally flubbed on my mom's birthday gift.  I didn't have a chance to pick up the massage gift certificate.  I ended up getting her some Clarins cream from Sephora that she had been wanting.  I think I'll just have to use the first idea for Mother's Day!!!  But thank you so much for all your suggestions. 

E was fun.  It is not easy finding this many lovelies that all start with the same letter.  Good for the brain though, I think.  Keeps me on my toes.  Btw... that chantico tank from Anthropologie is going to be mine.  Getting delivered to my house.  Yup.  Lovely and I will probably end up getting every color.  Why?  Because that's how I do.
