Never Full

In addition to my obsession with jeans, I also obsess over shoes and handbags. The Louis Vuitton Neverfull is my newest most favorite item to dream about. How cute is that?! This is the small version, which can hold up to 23o pounds - just in case you have a 23o pound cell phone. This gem was featured the style section of today's New York Times and I am smitten! It's a must have. For those of us who don't live near a Louis Vuitton retail store, you can get your very own Neverfull at eluxury.com!


I'm on the market for some new black heels. I want something sassy - black patent with a platform. I've seen several cute pairs, but the ones I can't wait to own are these from Ann Taylor. The heel is very high and I will most likely end up at the ER at some point during the autumn months, but it will have been worth it! When you see me hobbling down the street don't forget to ask to see my shoes!

Off to the mall....

Beach Babies and Back to School

The last few weeks have been very busy at our house. First, we spent a week on Cape Cod visiting grandparents and friends. We had a terrific time! The weather was amazing and the kids were great the entire time!

Our first day at the cape we had a party complete with a bounce house for the kids, though I think our friend Cumbo had the most fun (he's about 38 years old). It was great seeing our old friends - and their new kids! The crowd has grown significantly over the past 2 1/2 years. For the remainder of the week spent lots of quality time at the beach and at Dunkin Donuts. We had family pictures taken and ate lots of great food. At the end of our stay we drove to Boston and spent the day with my 2 closest friends from business school and all the kids played together. Seven kids and Abby was the only girl! In the evening we had a parent's night out downtown with more friends, while our very first babysitter ever spent some quality time with the kids. It was a great trip!

We made it home just in time for school to start. Abby was thrilled to get back to school and her routine. My little fashionista is now at school five mornings a week - and she picks out her own outfit every night before bed!

MXYPLYZYK

No, I have not lost my will to spell correctly. Mxyplyzyk (pronounced Max-uh-plee-zak, I think) is the name of a very cool houseware store in New York. An item from the store was featured in the "Style" section of this morning's New York Times. One visit to the Web site was all it took for me to fall in love with the store. Check out www.mxyplyzyk.com!

The Power of Powder

For those of you who want to stretch a good blow-out, but fear that your hair may start to look oily should try Bumble and Bumble's hair powders. Spray it on dry hair and it will soak up the oil. I tried this product yesterday and was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to use!

My New Favorite Thing

I got this very cute top at Anthropologie over the weekend. I LOVE it! It looks super cute with jeans (or the cute Joe's Jeans denim shorts I got as well), and the color makes me smile.

This will be the perfect thing to pack for our upcoming trip to Cape Cod in a few weeks. It's linen so it will be nice and breezy, as well as easy to pack.

Anthropologie has a great selection of dresses and tops right now. I advise everyone to check it out!

Denim Dreams

As you know, I am a denim lover. A few weeks ago I posted about Joe's Jeans. The "provocateur" style comes in petite so they don't have to be shortened. Additionally, the higher knee break means that they flare in the right spot. They come in two washes - a very dark dressy wash and a lighter, more casual wash. Here's a photo of the darker wash - very cute! I wore mine this weekend and they fit perfectly.

Another cute jean on the racks is the Seven For All Mankind "Ginger" wide leg jean. These are also dark, but have a wide leg - more like a trouser jean. I saw these on this weekend, and they are very cute. Especially with a heel! I can't wait to wear these!

We Did It!

For all of my loyal readers (all three of you) I am sorry the posts have been few and far between. You know how it gets with kids and work and life, right! So, I hope I get a free pass on this one.

Anyway, last weekend my friend Marti and I participated in the Avon 2-Day Walk for Breast Cancer in Denver. It was truly an amazing experience. We had a fabulous time, and we walked our butts off (literally!). I encourage everyone who has the opportunity to take part in the 2-day walk. Here we are during lunch on the first day of the walk. I am sporting my "every three minutes ribbon" which serves as a reminder that every three minutes someone is diagnosed with breast cancer. They were presented to walkers every three minutes during the walk. Thank you to everyone for supporting our walk, and to Marti for being the best walking buddy a girl could have!
