Tuesday Shoes-day: Color block pump repeat and hi-lo dress

Why is it that I can go without blogging for nearly two weeks and then write two posts back-to-back?  Hmmm.  Usually I would call myself a consistent person.  With blogging, however, I am not. 

Meh, you get what you get.

As I mentioned Sunday, I attended a baby shower, so I finally had an excuse to wear my new hi-lo dress.  While hunting for inexpensive maxi-dresses, I looked online at Forever 21 and kept seeing the hi-lo option.  I immediately fell in love (okay, like) with the one pictured below.   Bummer is that they didn’t have my size so I opted for a size bigger and figured I’d wing it.

And a close up of the shoes (last shown on the blog here):

May 20 2012 Bakers pumps

The shoes are Bakers brand and I still think they are pretty faboosh.  Love the color-blocking combo.  Surely they need some more wear.

As for the dress.  I quite like it.  I’d like it a lot more if it was 1-2 sizes smaller since it bags out in places.  It’s not the best material and doesn’t breath well, but it’s perfect to try out a new trend. 

What do you think of the hi-lo dresses?

Friday fun and some maternity fashion

This is going to be a short post friends.  I have other things to do with my day, like hanging out with this girl Open-mouthed smile  So excited.  On deck we have froyo, pedis, Starbucks, and baking planned.  Jam-packed goodness!

As for what I’ve been wearing – all the photos below are from this past week (my 33rd week or pregnancy).  Someone said in the comments the other day that being pregnant isn’t opposite of being fashionable.  I agree!  I may not be rocking anything super edgy or haute couture, but I’m workin’ with what I got Winking smile

Motherhood maternity skinny jeans, Alfani camel boots, Gap peach maternity sweater, cream woven belt (from boutique in FL)

What do you think?  Are fashion and pregnancy mutually exclusive?

Tell me what Friday Fun you are having or plan to have!

A lovely ladies weekend

Hi again!

Welcome back to reality – hopefully everyone is well rested and rejuvenated from the weekend (especially after yesterday’s extra hour of sleep –> Red heart)

First I have to thank you for showing the bestie love for her fabulous news on Friday’s post Smile  You are the best!

Friday evening I had plans to meet some of the Foodbuzz ladies for a late dinner, but after a twitter frenzy on Friday, plans quickly changed and we decided to all meet up pre-Foodbuzz events in Union Square.

Though our time was pretty short, I had such fun hanging out with these ladies (Me, Gina, Katie, Courtney, and Sara).  We barely could stop gabbing long enough to figure out what we wanted to do, but ultimately decided to do what we do best (second to eating): shopping!  We hit up the mecca that is Forever 21 and all scored some sweet purchases.  I only wish I had more time with them Sad smile  They are all faboosh Open-mouthed smile

Saturday my good friend Kim came up and visited from LA.  Not only was she in my wedding, but we also went to Kauai together in February (such fun!).

Even though Kim and I only live a short 50 minute Southwest flight apart, our busy schedules make it hard to get together as often as we’d like.  But when we do, we have a blast!  We chatter away for hours on end, which is just what we did  while doing a little shopping at the mall, eating Italian food, and making pumpkin cookies for no reason.

We also managed to indulge in two Starbucks runs for the ubiquitous red cup return.  And the introduction of the delicious Skinny Peppermint Latte (130 cals for a Grande Surprised smile).  Oh yeah, I see a lot of these in my future.

Sunday came all too quickly and was met with errands (grocery shopping), finishing baby shower thank you cards, working out, etc.  Why is Sunday such a chore day?  Bah humbug. 

How did you spend your weekend?

Do Starbucks red cups allure you in?

What’s your least favorite Sunday chore?
