have you tried Polyvore?
Uh oh. I could spend hours here. You can create your own dream outfits. Kind of fun.
I created this one for a "going out" outfit. If I ever went out that is. And had this budget for my wardrobe.

embrace the camera
going out with my mum and the 2 littles. probably for coffee! I think we went to the mall starbucks this day.
I am falling behind on getting some pics with me in it. life seems to be going at mach speed! i'm also having a hard time NOT being critical of my own photo. Yeesh. all i see is wrinkles and an aging face and some weirdness going on with my hair. not fun! but it is so true that the kids will LOVE to have photos of us together when they are older. so often i'm behind the camera taking pictures of them and so often i have to ASK my husband to take a picture of me when we're on a holiday so people know i was actually there too!
So thanks Mrs. Emily Anderson for encouraging us to embrace the camera! It is such a good thing to do.

the "i heart list"
i thought it would be fun to start a monthly list of things that i am loving right now. Okay, maybe it will be a post i do every OTHER month! but i think it will be fun regardless. (I started this post about OVER a month ago so clearly this is NOT going to be a monthly thing...more like a whenever thing!)
it might be things you can buy or things that i just want to document so i remember them years from now. here goes...
i heart (september OCTOBER 2011)...
1. THESE boots. Sigh. They are so cute. I.must.have.them!!! How to decide between red and violet hi-gloss? Adorable!
2. my kids.
of course they will ALWAYS be on this list but a funny thing Max said the other day must go on here. We went to our small group dinner on Saturday and he walked between 2 of the women there and said "Excuse me Ladies!" in a total Rico Suave kind of way. What the? I have NEVER heard him say that before so it was pretty surprising! And of course, they found it hysterical too! Little charmer he is.
3. Pinterest
Oh My Goodness! I could spend WAY too much time on there.So many cute ideas, clothes, house stuff...ETC.! I need a day that I'm not working or parenting to just sit and look at Pinterest all day - GUILT FREE!
4. hearing my kids say to the others "i love you". I hear this alot. Max tells both the girls he loves them at random times. Lily often tells Gabrielle and Max as well. The only one it doesn't come from is Gabrielle. She always reciprocates with an "i love you too" but isn't the instigator. That's okay, I know she adores them both.
5. date night. haven't had one in way too long as they've taken a back seat to renovating but soon, i hope, soon! missing them makes me appreciate them all the more.
6. POLYVORE. oh my. you can create dream outfits by clicking and dragging them onto a template. seriously! another website i need to spend some guilt-free time on.
7. yellow. love it.

8. Zara. i hadn't really shopped here until my cousin came for a visit in september. it has some CUTE stuff for great prices! Like this yummy blazer...i must have it.
9. this hair. i'm trying to grow mine long, long, long. i know it (and I) won't look like this but i want to try. a lot of work i bet though huh?

tune in next month for another "i heart list". oh i'm going to be very popular i just know it.

embrace the camera - 09/22/11
date night on our 11th anniversay (sept.2) - we went to Lounge Burger. YUM! (terrible pictures w/ the iPhone - crappy lighting in the restaurant)
i love date night. we are lucky/blessed/fortunate enough to get one EVERY. SINGLE. WEEK. Thank you mother in law! i'm sure i've mentioned how it helps our relationship greatly to get this time together.
next i told him to do "blue steel" (from Zoolander) and he really had no idea what that was...but good try none the less!
