Outfit: Ourdoor Party

Jacket: Pepe Jeans, Dress: Threadsence, Bracelets: C/O Kristin Hassan, Ring: Self made (I SPY DIY project), Shoes: Target, Sunnies: Michael Kors

I am loving this shift dress! It was perfect for this outdoor party and when it got cool out, I put on my AMAZING new jean jacket. Can we discuss how pretty this ombre denim is?! It has an awesome wash on it, has a great stretch to it, and well, it's just pretty to look at! ;) I finished the look with some of my favorite Kristin Hassan metal pieces, flats, and a ring I recently made.

This Weeks "I Want What She Has!"

Dress: $24.99 Target

Bag: $39.95 Shoedazzle

Head to toe perfection Michelle! I really love your hair, sunnies, and shoes too! I looked at her and literally thought to myself, I want what she has! lol

This weeks second "I want what she has!" goes to Karen Javens. I am gushing over this bracelet!

She was given this bracelet as a holiday gift at her old job. I think it looks like a Judith Jack design. Either way, it's beautiful and I want it! lol Anyone think they know where this is from?

Outfit: Autism One- Day 1 of 3

I attended Autism One this year thanks to the persuasion of Nicolette of Momnivore's Dilemma. Here is what I wore to day 1:

Dress: E Street Denim, Vest: Express, Belt: Forever 21, Shoes: Target, Earrings: swap w/ Kaitlyn, Stackable Rings: Shop Jules, Ring: C/O J Good, Watch: C/O Kristin Hassan

She told me in advance how overwhelming it would be, but I thought she meant overwhelming like a lot of info to take in, lots of vendors, etc. It was overwhelming emotionally and mentally as well (which I was NOT prepared for) and I cried after leaving the first day.

I guess I thought I was doing a good job(ish) by my son so far. I know we haven't gone full on bio medical yet, but I guess I didn't realize how far away I was from it either.

Needless to say I had a mild panic attack while sitting in a lecture called "What's Next? Exploring your options by Anju Usman, MD. I literally left the room with my notes full of words I needed to go home and look up! I felt guilty, I felt under prepared, I felt like I needed to make changes...NOW!  I immediately went and bought new vitamins and probiotics. It did make me feel a bit better. ;)

Check back Thursday and Friday for day 2 and 3 of my Autism One Experience.

**Check out how I styled this dress for a night out on the Sisters Marie Blog!

Outfit: My Son's B-day

Top: Banana Republic, Shorts: Old Navy, Sandals: Target, Earrings: Erin Gallagher's Gem Bar, Ring: Lia Sophia, Chain Ring: Tiffany & CO, Sunnies: MNG by Mango, Necklace: Gift 

My son celebrated his 4th birthday over the weekend and we let him have the party of his dreams. He's finally has an opinion about what he wants (and a strong opinion at that) so we created a party around what he wanted. He asked for a bubble guppies themed party, bouncy house, cake (yellow cake with blue frosting to be exact), and french fries. Alright little dude, you got it! ;) He counted down on his calendar and every morning would tell us how many days until his party. He had a wonderful time and said it was so fun. Mission accomplished! Kinda easy to throw a dream party for a 4 year old, I wonder what he'll ask for next year....

And here's me asking my hubby to take a nice photo, this is what I got:
Seriously?

Come on, please.....

Jerk!! ;)

KH city tour

Good morning everyone! You may have noticed my recent partnership with Kristin Hassan, and I’m sure you’ve taken note of her new program Passport to Style: World Tour 2012! Passport to Style is a fresh and exciting experience that will be bringing you almost a dozen different jewelry collections via a virtual trip around the world! Each city will be hosted by a guest blogger “Tour Guide”, and guess what.. I’m your Tour Guide for the third city, ATHENS!

Kristin sent me a huge package filled with ten different styles of jewelry, all inspired by the ancient capitol. This my friends, was an amazing day! ;) I am obsessed with this collection. Each peice I pulled out was better then the next and the amount of ooos and ahhhs that left my mouth was ridiculous. There are some major must haves in this collection. Not just one or two peices, but all of them. I don't know how I would have explaned to my hubby that I bought ever single piece, so it's good that I was the tour guide on this one. I dare you to not want them all!

I’m so excited to style up an outfit with Grecian flair! Here’s a look I would wear as I tour the magical and historical city of Athens:

PARTHENON LEATHER WRIST WRAP - BLUE

PARTHENON LEATHER WRIST WRAP - White

AEGEAN WATCH

ARTEMIS CHAIN BRACELET



OLYMPUS SCARF

PERSEPHONE BANGLE

Top and Shorts: Banana Republic, Bag: C/O Just Fabulous, Belt: Fossil, Shoes: Target, Scarf and all jewelry: C/O Kristin Hassan

The jewelry from the Athens Collection is a must have for every woman! Sadly though, it is only available in limited quantities for three weeks! Claim yours a.s.a.p. - Shop Now!
But wait, that’s not all that Kristin and I have been working on. Be sure to check back next Wednesday for my Athens evening outfit post and even more jewelry. We also have an amazing giveaway coming up! Make sure you don’t miss a thing from Kristin or the tour by reserving your passport.

αντίο! XO, Lisa

Outfit: Rain Chic

Dress: Banana Republic, Cardigan: H&M, Shoes: Victoria's Secret: Watch: Fossil, Ring: House of Harlow, Earrings: Erin Gallagher's Gem Bar, Umbrella: Walgreens

Yes, another maxi dress. Some people live in jeans, some people live in skirts, I live in maxi dresses. This is a new one and I love the double slit sides. I had a few leggy moments, but mostly is just a pop of sexy in an otherwise modest dress. LOVE that!
Can we talk umbrellas now?! Is it wrong that I own 3 and they are all from Walgreens? lol Why spend lots of cash on them if you can get them for under $6? Just saying.... ;)

Outfit: Family Day

Dress and Sandals: Target, Jacket: Gap, Wrist Wrap: C/O Kristin Hassan, Ring: J Good, Necklaces: Oh, Poppy!, Sunnies: MNG by Mango

I had such a great time with my family this day. We popped into the Disney store and got each kid new jams and 1 toy. I quickly got a bang trim while the hubby loaded our new loot and we headed out to lunch. I seriously have the BEST FAMILY EVER! ;) The kids were both so well behaved and it was nice to be out and about all together for the afternoon.

Okay, are you sick in me in maxi dresses yet?! lol Well too bad! I love them and plan to wear this one like it's a sweat suit (it's just as cozy so why not?!). ;)

** Are you following mine and Kaitlyn's new blog yet? It launches MONDAY!!! Make sure to enter the giveaway too! xo

Outfit: Everyday Wear

Tee and Belt: Express, Purse: Rachel Zoe for QVC, Jeans: Gap, Shoes: Target, Bracelet: C/O Kristin Hassan, Necklace and pave stackable rings: Stella and Dot, Stackable rings: Shop Jules

Here is yet another example of everyday wear. On this day I had tons of errands to run and jeans and a tee was all I had time for. Yes folks, I went out with absolutely NO makeup! (seriously! lol) So unlike me, but what can I say, I'm a busy girl. ;)

In other news I am OBSESSED with my new belt from express! I think belts can be great accessories so I was super excited when I saw this turquoise one. What's your favorite accessory to jazz up jeans and a tee? 

Outfit: Dresses Paired with Vests

Dress: E Street Denim, Jean Vest: Forever 21, Wedges: Target, Bag: C/O Just Fabulous, Watch: Fossil, Wrist Wrap: C/O Kristin Hassan, Ring: Free People

How amazing is this dress?! I found it when I was in Lake Geneva over the weekend and I knew I needed to own it. Sadly for anyone else who wants it, is not found online and someone has already called DIBS on it. (everyone say thanks Gwen! lol) But you can find it at E Street Denim! ;) 

Now lets talk vests! I am gaga for vests this season. I have this denim one, a lace one, and just got a trench one too (totally saw Nicole over at Frankie Hearts Fashion wearing one and had to find my own asap!). What do you guys think? Do you love vests over dresses or not so much?

Outfit: Animal print and Wedges

Top: Mink Pink from Threadsence, Tank: Target, Jean Leggings: Express (similar), Shoes: C/O Just Fab, Necklace: Jewelmint, Wrist Wrap: C/O Kristin Hassan, Purse: Charming Charlie

I just love me a big flowy blouse. I probably should have belted this baby, but I guess that just means I'll have to try that next time I wear this top.

And the winner of the Just Fabulous size 8 wedges is:

The weather is starting to get nice around here. (insert happy dance)  It's odd to me to be outside with no coat on in March, but I'll gladly take it! This is another example of everyday wear for me. And look, I'm wearing my hats more! ;) (see closet hat junkie post)

Newly Remodeled Mario Tricoci (Schaumburg Location)

 I was invited to the ribbon cutting event for the newly remodeled Schaumburg location of Mario Tricoci. Anyone who knows me, knows I love Mario Tricoci! I get my colored and hair cut there, I get my eyebrows waxed there, I get massages and facials there, bottom line, they are my go to when I want to get my pamper on. So obviously I was super excited to meet Mario Tricoci! ;) Here is what I wore to the event:

Top: Target, Blazer: Urban Outfitters, Pants: ASOS, Shoes: Shoemint (similar), Necklace: Shop Jules, Ball necklace: Jewelmint, Bracelet: C/O Kristin Hassan (style sold out), Stackable Ring: Baublebar


This location has been open for 19 years now and looks even more amazing! I didn't take pictures in the spa area because I felt rude (everyone knows to be quite in there! lol) but I did see a demo for the diamond tip microdurmabrasion. Yeah, mama wants one of those badly! Here are a few photos taken during the ribbon cutting.


Next up, enter a raffle and get my spa on! I was given a complementary wash, blow out, and curling, a bamboo infused massage and my mother-in-law got her nails done. So fun!


The salon and spa look amazing and I was happy to be included in such a fun morning!
