Checking in....

I know I've been MIA these last few weeks.  But it was for good reason.  Well maybe not, I have access from so many devices, it actually makes no sense that I don't keep up with everyone.  Forgive me? 

I can't believe it is already Thursday?!  Half of the month is already behind us.  Which means I am about six weeks away from our family get-away to Las Vegas for New Years Eve!  I am so excited!  I admit, I have been on a shopping frenzy buying cute and comfortable winter clothes for the boys and myself.  I have opted for two staples; leggings and skinny jeans.  I also bought a fabulous pair of INC boots from Macy's.  They are delish!  And I also bought a cute pair of wedge boots to wear on my more casual days.

I've also bought the boys some cute outfits for the cold weather.  Although I don't want to live in cold temps, it's too much fun to shop for cold weather. :)

On a Mommy note, I am actively potty training my two year old. *sigh* It's only been a few days, and he has learned the concept of "tell Mommy when I have to go" but if only he'd actually go in the toilet! LoL!  Who knew the little boy that doesn't seem afraid of anything else, is afraid to tinkle in the toilet. Go figure!

Other than that, all is well in our household.  I have a lot of new ventures I am going into.  I feel like 2010 is going to be the year of EVERYTHING!!!

Okay, well it's time to feed the kids, give them their bath, and bed!  That will be the highlight of my night! I think I'll relax and watch The Real Housewives of Orange County and have a drink.

Until Later,

Favorite Fall Finds...

Well here I am, jumping in on fall fashion. I've never been a fan of jackets, sweaters, or long sleeves. I always feel so constricted! However, I've been shopping; and there are quite a few nice things out there these days. :)



Macy's has an awesome selection of sweater dresses, cardigans, and tunics. Which are *wait for it* all starting to look super cute to me! Paired with some leggings, skinny-boyfriend-straight leg jean, or with a dress or skirt. It all looks amazing! There are also a lot of versatile styles; for work, play, or casual dress. Which these days casual is the category I fall under. I need to be comfortable to chase my kids around, yet I still want to be a Haute Mama!

Here are two cardigans that I really like. On the top is BCBG (retails for $158) on the bottom is INC (retails for $79)

UGG has also reeled me over to their site (retails for $160). The Classic Argyle Knit boot is perfect fit to my lifestyle.

These are my favorite from Ugg.

Also, I can't believe I am going to say this, but I am also checking out leggings. I have not been interested in any of the skinny jean/legging trends until I bought a pair of DKNY skinny jeans from Macy's. I am not the skinniest woman around; i.e.: I have a J.Lo derriere...LoL! And these jeans make me feel like a size 4!

So, I will try a pair of leggings from Express.



These are a pair of denim leggings (retail for $49.50). They also have spandex, sequin, and sexy sleek black pair.

So those are a few of the pieces that I am interested in. I know that a lot of Moms won't take/or have the money to spend on themselves. But, you can always improvise all those pieces at discount stores. I am also an Haute Mama on a budget. Stores like Ross, Marshall's, TJ Maxx, Forever 21, and even Target keep up with the latest trends for discounted prices.

So here's to you fall *cheers*! I think I just might like this season from now on! ;)

Until Later,
