A few words...

Haven't even watched the Oscars yet--but I LIVE for Jessica Biel's dress. Don't ask me why this chick is even AT the Oscars...has she done ANYTHING sice 7th heaven (besides Justin Timberlake)? Regardless, her dress is superb.

I am also bitter as all get out because I don't own Ms. Zoe's dress. Out. Of. Control.

Super giant heart.

I LOVE me some Ally Hilfiger (proof here), and I LOVE this get up she has on.

Don't tempt me to re-create it, and wear it to story time.

What the??!!

Talbot's has never been my cup o' tea, however, I did a double take the other day while running after my little guy in the mall. I saw the "tear drop" necklace (last image) on a mannequin, and stopped dead in my tracks. I even caught myself saying out loud, "Talbot's??".

While I don't think I will be paying the 100 plus dollars on these pieces, you can bet that I'll be stalking their sales.

Simply the best.

Six months. How did this happen?!

Last night, after you went to bed, I had a bit of a crying session. I want to freeze time. As much as I have so much excitement to see who you are, who you will become, you are my baby!! The last 6 months have been incredible. You are an amazing little girl--so patient, so sweet, so cuddly.

I love every single thing about you--your stunning red hair, your tiny little feet, the way you eat my chin, and every stinking delicious roll on your body!

Happy half birthday sweet girl. I love, love, love you.

Maybe, maybe not....

I have a gigantic place in my heart for all things Kelly Wearstler...I'm just not too sure about her new ready to wear collection. While some pieces stand out more than others, the pictures above remind me a bit of Vera Wang for Kohls. I would love to see the collection in person....anything to get to Bergdorf's.

Fashiongasm

These pictures make me weak in the knees. Super inspiring....makes me want to go and play in my closet for hours.

I recently had the ever repetitious conversation with my friend Jessie, about how challenging it is living where we do in regards to fashion. We were talking about how we both LOVE fashion, and in bigger cities, you can literally walk out your front door wearing whatever you want, and nobody bats an eye. Here, it's different. While there are many authentic creative people in Kansas City, sometimes walking out your front door in whatever you want to wear, produces unwanted attention, and sometimes, odd looks. I know it can be way worse in other places, so I am grateful that there is some open mindedness here, I just wish that I could dress with abandonment!

Thank God for Vacations.

It's such a perfect day, I'm glad I spent it with you.

These aren't just the words to my favorite Lou Reed song, but the words to describe today.

We are having amazing weather today, so the little man and I took advantage and went on a date. Grandma stayed at home with his little sister, so it was just the 2 of us. Just like old times.

I'm not much of a Tiffany's kind of gal, but he insisted on buying me something.

Up close and personal.

This shot was taken before he flipped out when I told him mommy had to "go pee pee on the potty", and that we'll come back to the fountain.

He found his own little spot at the coffee joint.

Snacks make everyone happy.

I heart him big time.

Nature lover.

His happy dance.
