Booty-Licious

I've been checking out the bootie trend for awhile now. Particularily, the wedge bootie. If I could, I would wear flats or wedges every day. They are just so comfortable and I need to be comfy chasing/carrying two kiddos around.

I really like the look of the ones below but still am not sure about how I would wear them. With pants (skinnies) and mostly dresses. I think they could be a winter staple. But because I'm so unsure, I decided to test out the waters with a cheap pair first. I picked up this pair from Target. I like the brown heel with the black so not real leather. I recently decided I wasn't going to buy cheap shoes anymore because I always regret it, but since this seems to be a trendy item, I don't want to shell out some sweet moola until I know I will get some wear out of them. Here are some other cute ones that all look really comfortable.
Target Wedge Boot

Can you believe that Bandolino makes this one? I bet it feels like butter.

Love these by Fossil.

These are by Born. I bought a pair of Born ankle boots when I was pregnant and they are so comfortable.  This one also comes in a ton of colors.

And of course, the J.Crew wedge boot. Where I started my obsession.

Edward Scissorhands OOTD

The other day at work I realized my bangs were in my face so I ended up giving them a little trim in the bathroom. Let's just say that office scissors don't really do the job. Because I ended up with chopped fringe.Does anyone else trim their own bangs?I think I need to just leave it to the professionals.

Indian Summer OOTD

When I got off work yesterday it was 100 degrees. I kid you not. Way too hot for October weather in the Bay Area. Needless to say we are having an Indian Summer. Thankfully we are back to normal temperatures by tomorrow.

Like most Indian Summers, the mornings are still cool but it gets hot, hot, hot during the days. So today, I had to dress in layers to prepare for the chilly morning and warm afternoon.


I only have full length mirrors in my daughter and son's rooms. Maybe it's time I get a big girl mirror for our master bathroom? Regardless, I'll be ready to bust back out my jeans this weekend, trade my iced coffees for hot coffees and contemplate actually cooking a meal in our regular temperature kitchen.

OOTD Challenge and What I'm Loving

Nope.. no OOTD's here.. but I am officially declaring a Fall Fashion Challenge for myself. No more being a slacker.. I need to record what the heck I'm wearing. I'm loving seeing others' Fall looks, so its time I do the same for all of my nonexistent readers.

So as of tomorrow, it's on like Donkey Kong! But until then a couple of things I'm loving lately.

Fall TV. Hello How I Met Your Mother, Real Housewives of NJ & NYC finales and Modern Family!
How I Met Your Mother

The Darlings. Great Book. Loving the suspense... haven't finished it yet. Next on my list is Gone Girl.
The Darlings

Anything leopard print. I seriously have become obsessed with it. Not only for myself but now also for my daughter.
This would be adorable on Miss S!

This is what started my leopard print obsession. Sadly, this adorable blouse from J.Crew is no longer available.

Fall Nails. I just picked up Plumberry by Essie. I can't wait to test it out. Until then I'm wearing Essie's I Think We Can Pink.
This is the perfect shade of pink, dark berry and red.

Anything in camel color. This is my new favorite neutral because it goes perfectly with black AND brown. 

This will be a fall staple paired with dark skinnies and boots.
