It has been a minute since I’ve thrown up a blog post! I see where everyone is already putting up their Christmas decorations and wearing holiday outfits and it makes a person feel so behind and inadequate!

I decided to jump in with my new red tunic from Johnny Was, red glasses from America’s best and other accessories and be fun and red-based!

We took a quick trip recently to Wyoming and I had all of these super winterized outfit posts planned but we just couldn’t pull it off! The problem was that I got really bloated and ill with altitude sickness! My rings were cutting into my hands, my feet were swelling out of my shoes, my nose was bleeding 50% of the time and my face looked like a bowling ball. (Yes, a lot more than usual.) I won’t go into the headaches and heart palpitations or the severe pain brought on by the altitude. I smiled through it so that I wouldn’t ruin my husband’s trip.

My point is…there were no outfit posts! I try to power through a lot of things but it was to the point that I was secretly looking for the closest hospitals without him knowing! (My next post will be a Wyoming road trip post, because it was a beautiful American #glamping travel experience sans the nosebleeds and blood pressure raising near death experience!)

In the meantime, the holidays are upon us and it is my intent to have the most relaxing, simple holiday season possible! We are blessed with our simple life, and we have decided to take more time for self care and rest through the upcoming season. My world is going to be a no pressure zone this holiday season and I will wear red and sparkles and be present in the moment!

CASUAL CAT

CASUAL CAT

     Let’s chat about my day.  It is actually a “day off.” However, I never really take much of a day off, instead there are usually a few hours within a day off that we claim as our own.

The morning starts of with Pastor John Hagee, who was on fire today on the television.  We watch him every morning when possible to jump start our day. Actually, it was a fabulous sermon, which touched on all the issues of today’s concerns.

After being emotionally jump started by our tv minister, he headed to his appointment, I got ready and went to mine, before meeting for lunch near Old Town Spring.  

  While waiting for him…I finally got to go inside a little cupcake place there named Cake Swirl.  I did this because I have taken it upon myself to run my own personal cupcake quality control division of the universe.

  I bought two, a red velvet and a chocolate peanut butter which both still sit in the box, waiting for my approval after dinner tonight!

We went on to a casual lunch, with turned into a non casual, business discussion.  I guess we look like “bar people” because this is the second time they have seated us in the bar area of this particular restaurant. It was disturbing seeing a group of people in their 60’s getting hammered and loud in the middle of the day, and it became hard to hear each other, as we debated the finer points of SEO, real estate and tennis.

On a brighter note, I am enjoying being budget-aware this season, reusing things from last year, and mixing with a few new and fun things to change up the old!

shoes by Carlos Santana seen here

     The Carlos Santana shoes are from last season (scandal!) but they didn’t get too much play last year, so they are still a great suede look for this season.

     The Juicy bag was actually free,since I’d purchased a couple of bottles of the Viva La Juicy Noirperfume. I finally got to use it today, and in my mind anyway, it sort of replaces the hot pink Michael Kors Hamilton that I refrained from purchasing a few months ago. One of the bottles of perfume is actually being given away to one lucky follower, on October 31, 2013, in case you are interested! See details here!

     I actually have some eye shadow palettes I also plan on using for Giveaways in the future, as well as other things, so join in the fun and Follow from one of the methods on the About page.

50 SHADES of PINK

50 SHADES OF PINK

Michael Kors, pink bag, pink heels, pink dress, pink watch, MAC

     Pink is fabulous, sexy, friendly, girly, feminine and soft.  There is no better color to scream, “I am a girly girl, hear me roar,” than pink.

     While I am guilty of unconsciously ending up with pieces of pink that match perfectly, I’ve found it’s a better and more modern approach to blend and mismatch your pinks.

 Pink is my focus color for the season so I will attempt to branch out and mix up the hues a bit for a less dated look.

     Flash back to the pink focused blogs below!
