Week In Pictures: Trece

1 A new patterned midi skirt perfect for the start of summer.  I was going to get a black and white one, but didn't have my size.  I opted on the turquoise and navy blue, and I am glad I did.

2 Had dinner with my Ma at my favorite Thai restaurant.

3 Official start of the summer means a gigantic iced coffee!

4 Summer is not complete without sunflowers.

5 My husband and I had dinner with our friends at a Mexican restaurant.  I had shrimp quesadillas.  It was nice to catch up over drinks and great food.

6 Non fat (tart) frozen yogurt with mango, blueberries, raspberries, mochi, and chocolate rocks.  Yea I had to see what was up with the chocolate rocks.  Not a bad addition.

7 Checked out The Webster Collection that's on sale at Target.  Not bad, but I kind of just bought a dress recently.  Ok, not kind of...I did buy a dress a few days ago...and shoes.

8  Another blogger meet up success with local bloggers.  Got to hang out with familiar faces and met new new blogger friends.  What a great day.  You already know that there's a post coming up about this!

9 A relaxing end to a busy week and great weekend spent with In Style and Essie.

1  Summer's here - that means time to paint the toes and make sure they look presentable.

2  Treated myself to an Alex & Ani anchor bracelet.  Hope this won't become an expensive addiction like Pandora.

3  Had some Thai food during the week - it's never complete without some spicy papaya salad and don't forget the spicy. Ow!

4  One of my favorite coffee mugs.

5  Took a quick trip to Worcester, MA to visit my sister.

6  A Mexican restaurant in Worcester, MA - great decor.

7  It was laundry day.  What's a week without a picture of the pup?!

8  Started my routine of going to the gym again.  It was rough!!

9  A trip to Kohls with my Mama.  Gotta love 30% off coupons.  No I didn't get the dress.
I just wasn't feeling it.  I loved the pattern on the fabric, but I just felt blah in it.

Week In Pictures 10.0

First off, just wanted to apologize for the lack of posts last week.  Sometimes it's ok to take a little break, right?

1 Mangoes are my ultimate favorite fruit.  Hands down!! 

2 Summer means time for some peaches....

"movin' to the country...gonna eat me a lot of peaches"

3  Another pair of black flats.  Are you counting?

4 Took out my lace top from storage.

5 Another summery piece from storage.  This dress always makes me want to sing...

"fly, robin fly...up up to the sky".

6 Lounging with the puppy.

7 Feels like this weekend was just all about eating..This is Texas Roadhouse bread - irresistible. 

8 Brunch with the family.  This was my husband's order: Barbacoa Waffe [Belgian corn waffle points topped with pepper jack cheese, poached eggs, and Sausalito hollandaise sauce.  Served with slow cooked beef and side of potatoes.

9 I settled with a veggie omelet, but envied my husband's breakfast haha.

Week In Pictures 9.0

1  My husband gathered all of our old cell phones in the house to donate.  Crazy how much technology has changed over the past few years.  I remember my first ever cellphone with the pull out antennae.

2  So when the show Thirty Something was one of the television series to watch, I don't think I was allowed to watch it.  I found this at the dollar store during the week.  I thought that I would be able to relate to it better now.  The whole first season for a buck!! Can't beat that. 

3  Someone needed some lobster claws.  Made these out of felt, elastic, and some easy hand stitching.

4  Forgot about these sequined black flats.  I really do have a lot of black flats.  Thankfully each pair is different from the other...besides the color.

5  I wore my striped knit dress with a chambray shirt and a yellow belt.  I don't know how to dress for the weather we've been having in CT lately.  Hot, then chilly, muggy, sprinkling of rain, then thunderstorm.  Go figure. 

6  Started my weekend early on Friday.  My husband and I had lunch at my favorite restaurant.  What's a Mexican meal without Modelo Especial?!

7  I've been seeing and hearing about Talenti Gelato all over the social networks recently, specifically on Instagram.  I finally remembered to get it at Target.  It definitely is what everyone said...so good!! Especially this particular flavor.  If you haven't tried it, you need to.

8  My husband picked this flavor.  I wasn't a big fan.  I definitely liked the sea salt caramel much better.  Let me know if you try either one, or different flavors.  I'd like to know what you think.

9  Went to Nordstrom Rack and found these Sam Edelman loafers with spikes.  It was one of the most comfortable shoes I've ever tried on.  Kind of weird since they have spikes, but really they were like buttah!!  Unfortunately I didn't buy them since they were a wee over my budget.

Hope you all had a wonderful week!!

1  I don't think a week is complete without wearing stripes these days.

2  I think I'm in love with duck tape especially now that it comes in so many different colors and fun patterns.

3 New to me pair of shoes from Auntie's Vintage Boutique.

4  Wore my bright green Old Navy dress during the weekend.  Perfect for the (finally) sunny weather.

5 Starbucks iced coffee - I treated myself.

6 We got a new ride.  I've always wanted a black car.  I can finally say I have one.

7 I've been obsessed with strawberries lately.  

8 Made some beaded bracelets.  

9 Big project last week for the birthday party that I went to.  Will be posted soon!

1  My new pair of studded shoes from Nordstrom Rack.  Because new shoes makes Mondays more exciting, Meli of Blush and Jelly coined a new hashtag #newshoesmonday.

2  Got sick early in the week.  Soup always makes me feel better.  

This time I ordered Pho from my favorite restaurant.

3  I've been looking for a guava/passion fruit juice mix ever since I had it on my first cruise. 

 I found two separate juices at the grocery store and mixed it.  Ahh memories.

4  When my aunt's dog comes over, she always hogs the bed.  

My pup has the pink shirt, almost falling off.

5  My blue patent leather shoes reminded me of Tardis.

6  Met up with some lovely bloggers at the end of the work week. 

Post coming up tomorrow!

7  Went to NYC to visit my favorite little girl.  Here she is with the presents I brought her: 

a solar powered dancing flower and a crocheted hippo.

8  Went to Eataly before heading back.  

9  Waiting at a seafood place for our Mother's Day feast.  There was no cooking allowed that day.

I'm trying a new collage program guys.  Please bare with me.  I know my collage keeps changing over the past few weeks.  Hopefully I'll find the right program soon.  Any suggestions are much appreciated!

1  New patent leather flats from Target.  Looks like these might become a favorite.

2  Paired a vintage pleated shirt with a gray cardi.

3  My little gal finally got groomed! She's so purrrty.

4  Wearing my navy and black striped shirt (reminds me of Courtney) with my thrifted blazer and plastic antler necklace from Grime.

5  Felt very nautical-ish with my striped navy blue and cream blazer and vintage-y with my brooch.

6  Celebrated Cinco de Mayo at my favorite Mexican restaurant that I've been going to ever since I was in high school.  I had my margarita fix.

7  Finally went to Nordstrom Rack to see what the hype was about.  I saw these "killer heels" with spikes and just had to take a picture of it [way too high and expensive for me].

Instagram: February Photo Challenge

I really enjoyed doing the January Photo Challenge on Instagram last month.  It was fun, but it got a little difficult to catch up on days where I got sidetracked with other things during the work week.  I still managed to catch up during the weekends though.  I already started this month's challenge, which is just as fun.  If you like taking pictures with a point and shoot, DSLR, or with a camera phone I suggest trying it.

XOXO

Christine
