Pink Holidaze

You know how I've fallen in love with my new bag ?  Well, I'm still pretty obsessed with it.  It's been the perfect bag for clinic, motherhood, and in general.  But, if you happen to be looking for something a little smaller and still incredibly adorable, you should take a peek at the first two bags.  I LOVE that iPad bag...and I'm still totally amazed by how gorgeous these colors are.  That last bag...I just threw that in because it's gorgeous. :) { Kate Spade  - Clarke, Jordan, and Tamera}

So, you know when you find that perfect bag, and you're like, myyy this is glorious. Yeah? I found one. Got it for Christmas (okay, maybe I asked for it early...). Anyways, I'm in love. It's fun and green. It's made of pretty, soft leather. And it has a removable cross-body strap. Necessary with toddler, but happily removable for a date night. It also has this fun zip pocket that holds an iPad or notebook. And closes with a simple flap. Name? Kate Spade Little Minka  (some colors on sale). I don't believe this color is out anymore, but they now have the brightest pink and a lovely mint color!

The bubble necklace arrived! The best of quality? I'd say no. But cute? I'd say yes.

I've been eyeing maxi skirts for awhile now, but I hadn't quite taken the plunge.  Then, recently, I found two skirts that were basically perfect for me at Target.  Total price: under $50.  I've become a little obsessed.  You can do so much with them.  And I love that I can wear a skirt and still bend over to pick Eloise up without feeling awkward.  Also, is it sad that they kind of make me feel casually glamourous?  Flowing skirt, sunny skies.  There's just something about it. I love that this skirt can be worn high on the waist or slung on the hips (Oh, and please ignore dirty room in background).   Here's a similar one , but mine was only $17 in the store.... Merona Pink Maxi Skirt   (I'd consider giving my left foot for this one from Anthro last year .  Just kidding.)

My Elles on display (Chalcedony), thanks to birthday love from my parents.  I heart them and wear them constantly already.  And ++ switching off with these means my Danielles will last longer. Bam!

The new Kate Spade watches ?  Um, beaUTiful.  These are my favorites.  But they're all so, so pretty.

Love. Ash & Anchor Circle Scarf via You Are My Fave

I'm officially obsessed with this scarf { from Madewell }.  I love that it's got the feel of a thicker, larger scarf with the classic look of a silk scarf.  The other versions are cute, too! These Kendra Scott earrings ( remember these (they're called the Danielle)?  Still wear them just as much as when I first got them). Any new faves you all have found?

A little Patty for our little patty-cake?  Yes, please! { Patagonia Baby Down Vest } Ah, Patagonia.  There was a point in life when I was running a lot, I was climbing a lot, and well, I was in college.  And I had a pair of pants ( this pair ).  Sometimes I wore these pants running, then climbing, then to bed, then to class, then anywhere else.  It was disgusting, I realize now.  But they were the most magical pants (finally had to retire them).  I wore them with my fleece , and I was oh, so comfy and warm.   Anyways, even then, people sometimes thought they were dress pants.  And they always made me feel thin(ner).  Now that I am back in "college," even though I spend most of the day sitting on my behind and I have no need for work-out clothes, I'd like that collegiate comfiness back.  Which is why I am asking for new Patty for Christmas.  EA and I can match.

Oh, Jackie-O-ness. { Boden Swing Coat }

I like DVF.  Really, how can you not?  But this?  This is genius. And absolutely gorgeous. Stunning bag.  With an iPad opening on the side. { DVF Harper Connect Leather Daybag }

I am in love with this take on a monogram ring.  Majorly.  Christmas? {By kraftshop on etsy via Pinterest }

Finally...I've been waiting for J.Crew (anyone!) to come out with a bright pink cardi this year.  And here it is.  A fun cardigan can make any outfit cuter. { J.Crew Dream Cardigan in Bright Azalea}

This pretty wrap shirt  from Boden.  Love the print and also love the fact that I think it might actually look good on a curvy figure (cute, well-fitting shirts are one of the hardest things for me to find). And this dress . This amazing coat wrap coat from Talbots .  I have a thing for coats.  And a tight waist.  First saw this on Making It Lovely .

...to wear through my current lipstick as soon as possible.  :)   Kate Spade lipstick coming out in September.

Loving this look from My Style Pill with the gold against the orange. I think I'm getting more into gold. Life: Oh, I took the most amazing nap this evening.  Eloise did, too.  Intense lack of sleep on my end.  I plan on sleeping in tomorrow as much as baby allows.  It will be GLORious.  And the four-day weekend means time thinking about something other than blood counts and liver cells.  :)  And getting excited for a sweet friend's wedding (which means catching up with lots of besties...and meeting baby T) in Cincy!!  It will be nice.  And I cannot wait to spend all day tomorrow with my sweet little girl AND go on a real date with my husband.   p.s.  Have you guys seen Million Dollar Decorators yet?  I'm watching my first episode and I think I'm a little obsessed.

More cute iPhone cases?  Yes. :) { Jonathan Adler iPhone 4 Case via Pinterest }

Just a little fyi... Miss Erin ( remember this? ) is selling some super cute vintage stuff on her new etsy site.  You should check it out .  :)  This is one of my favorites.

For some reason I'm a little obsessed with this backpack.  Maybe it's the fact that I actually have a need for one now (my books are SO stinking heavy).   { Poketo Striped Fleece Backpack via Pinterest }
