Sometimes I don’t say much, but this post merits some explanation.    We needed a break, and for several reasons…our break ended up in La Jolla, California.

Although the week off had been planned for a year, those last few days, I was so busy…I found myself packing two hours before it was time to leave for the plane.  It was because of this, that I didn’t pack very well.  Fortunately, my husband warned me about a possible “chilly” night, so I should bring a coat.

Instead, I opted for my black poncho.  Actually, I refer to it as my “snuggy.”  It’s funny because I literally wear it around the house, over my night gown if I get cold, or over my nightgown to take the dogs for an early morning walk…or even to church when I have on a dress, but don’t feel like wearing a bra and want to hide jiggles.

Hear me when I tell you, it was COLD and WINDY in La Jolla on the coast and the front desk staff saw me in some variation of outfits every single day which included my poncho and some type of hat – which was to combat the wind.

The Steven Madden booties are extremely comfortable and fun and I was so glad I packed them. It was only in haste that I grabbed a handful of hats and I was glad I did. It enabled me to be lazy and avoid the man in the hotel room constantly asking “Are you ready yet?” When it’s all very clear that I wasn’t ready yet.

While I did attempt to do some light shopping while away…it didn’t go so well, so I decided to be content with old, comfy clothes and hats and I promised myself I’d do better next time.

In the end, it didn’t matter too much because we just relaxed, and enjoyed the natural beauty that surrounds the La Jolla Cove. Sometimes it just has to be about comfort and ease. And, I had my “snuggie.”  The funny thing is that a work friend of mine has the exact same one, and she is emotionally attached to hers as well. We always laguh about how fabulous it makes anything you are wearing look, when it’s actually just a “Linus” blanket.  Oh my gosh, I am so attached to that thing!

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!

COLD PLAY

 

 

 

 

When my hands and my chest/neck area get cold, it freaks me out.  It’s uncomfortable. I don’t like it. Thin skin, perhaps?  

     One of the very few things I’ve purchased this winter, is my new black wrap.   At first I thought…well, it makes me look fatter.  However, the bottom line, is that I don’t need to care what random people may think in my daily outings.  Although I’m sure it’s nice to be thought of as perfect…at this point, I just want to be warm.

     I think my husband hates it, because it’s not very sexy or flattering in his mind…and lately, he’s seen way to much of it! It still remains my fun, cold weather friend and I love throwing it on with anything!

This was a Christmas time outing in Old Town Spring, and we were attempting to enjoy the Christmas season, but it was hard since one of us was in tennis attire in 40 degree weather…and it wasn’t me.
