2 on Tuesday

Hi friends!! Today I'm linking up with my sweet friend, Andrea, at My Chihuahua Bites blog. First of all, if you are new to my blog, WELCOME! I can't wait to read your blogs and get to know you all.

One of my absolute favorite things about Fall (the little bit that we get in FL) is the clothing we get to wear. I LOVE boots, sweaters and leggings! That's pretty much my uniform during the cooler months.



My second favorite part about Fall is that my husband has more down time, so we try to travel as much as we can during this time. Here's a picture of my two loves a few years ago in Hawaii.




This picture was taken in the train on our way to the Phillies World Series Game. (GO PHILLIES!)



So, what are your two favorite things about Fall?


ARM CANDY

I absolutely LOVE bracelets! I'm pretty sure it stems from my mom. Growing up, I remember hearing the clank of her bracelets on her arm. She was stacking before stacking was a trend! I remember when one of her siblings said she looked a bit gypsy-ish b/c of the amount of bracelets she had on her arm (which weren't as many as I've seen people wear now). It didn't bother her one bit, she just kept on going with her style. Go momma!
Where was I? Oh yes, my love for bracelets.....
Can we just say swoon......



These beauties are Ted Baker. Love them!



I'm in the love with the bright colors of these!



Beautiful texture. Would definitely add them to my stack. And on sale, yes please!

Mommy calling cards


A few fellow bloggers have been talking about the Minted.com Mommy calling cards lately. Since S is now in school, I thought I'd get some.
This is the design I chose:



It was hard deciding which one I wanted, since they have such a variety of designs.

You can order the cards until Sept 23. All you have to do is pay for shipping!

If you do order, I'd love to know which design you chose!

Skin Care Routine

Hi everyone!
I've received some emails asking me what I do for my skin and what my routine is. So, I decided to film a little vlog for you all.
I hope this answers any questions you may have. If you have more, please do not hesitate to email me, I will do my best to help.

Tuesday Shoooesday

I find it weird that I am absolutely fascinated by BOOTS when I can only wear them for a few months
a year. For this reason, I try to be reasonable about the amount of money I spend on them. So today, this is more of a "I am dreaming about these shoes" post rather than "these are going to be in my closet" post. Ha!

I just LOVE the detail of this Tibi bootie. I have a secret love for bows and ruffles. So dainty!




Sorry for the iPhone picture.

What do y'all think?

This or That Tag

Tag: This or That?

I really love this tag! It is such a good idea!!! This way we can all get to know each other a bit more...
So here goes.....


MAKEUP
[blush or bronzer] I LOVE LOVE LOVE blush!

[lip gloss or lipstick] I'm a lipgloss kind of gal. I honestly only wear lipstick when I have to.

[eye liner or mascara] DEFINITELY MASCARA. I cannot leave the house without mascara.

[foundation or concealer] Concealer. I'm a mom and have allergies= circles under my eyes.

[neutral or color eye shadow] I've always been a neutral shadow person. Unless I have to wear a bright color for an event.

[pressed or loose eye shadows] I like the idea behind the loose shadows, but I can't stand how they get everywhere. Going with pressed on this one.

[brushes or sponges] Brushes. There are a few foundations that I prefer a sponge, but for the most part, I like the look a brush leaves on the skin.

NAILS
[OPI or china glaze] OPI

[Long or short] Short. Can't stand long (on me).

[Acrylic or natural] NATURAL BABY! Although, I do like the shellac, it was WAY too expensive for my taste.

[Flower or no flower] On my nails, uhm, NO.

BODY
[perfume or body splash] Perfume.

[lotion or body butter] Body butter in the winter (I have really dry skin), but lotion for the Summer. I don't like it feeling so heavy in the humid months.

[body wash or soap] Body wash. Soap is drying.

[lush or other bath company] Lush is ok, but I find other products that cost less.

FASHION
[jeans or sweat pants] If I go out, jeans. When I’m home, sweatpants.

[long sleeve of short] Long sleeve for winter only, short for all other times.

[dresses or skirts] Dresses. Love them!

[stripes or plaid] Hmmm...depends on the season, I guess.

[flip flops or sandals] Flip flops. Especially Havianna’s! But then again, I love my Bonano's sandals, so maybe BOTH?

[scarves or hats] Scarves. Love how they can complete an outfit.

[studs or dangly earrings] I wear studs on a daily basis. I only wear dangly earrings if I'm going for a certain look.

[necklaces or bracelets] Bracelets! Hello stacking!

[heels or flats] Heels for work and going out. Flats all the other times.

HAIR
[curly or straight] I would say wavy. My natural hair is somewhat wavy

[bun or ponytail] Definitely pony tail. Classic and easy.

[bobby pins or butterfly clips] Bobby Pins.

[hair spray or gel] Hair spray. I think the last time I used gel was in 6th grade?

[long or short] Oh definitely on me, long. I've tried short and wasn't for me.

[light or dark] I guess dark, b/c that's what my natural color is. Dark blonde/light brown

[side sweep bangs or full bangs] I've tried both, but for me, I think side sweep looks best.

[up or down] I would like to wear it down all the time, but I do wear it up sometimes.
