Pumpkin Patch

Top American Eagle, Jeans Forever 21, Socks Modcloth, Boots UrbanOg, Earrings Jewelmint

Another Fall tradition of ours is to meet up with my sisters and brothers and their kids (we have made 7 grand kids for my parents...so far) and we go to the Bumpkin. There is a bouncy house, tractor rides, a petting zoo, pumpkin patch, and a hay maze. We had so much fun this year! (errrr, I mean, the kids did!) And let me say that I did not plan on going in the bouncy maze, my son got stuck and mom to the rescue! Let's all thank Ryan for laughing at me and taking pictures! Thanks babe!

I decided to wear a flannel I got last year around this time. I love the colors in it and it went perfectly with my black skinny jeans and black boots. For added warmth I went with a knee sock as well.

I will leave you now with a cute shot of my son running through the hay maze. We actually had to pull him out of there when we wanted to go! He loves a good fort/maze! lol

This is one of the three dresses I bought about 2 years ago at Target. (yes 3! When I like an item, I generally buy it in all styles and colors;)
I was so excited that I finally fit back into it! I am officially back down to my pre-baby weight!! It was for sure the recent surgery that took the last 10 off, but I am down to where I was before both babies! That my friends, is the most exciting thing ever! I have to say though, it's a bit different. I weigh the same but I'm in different sizes. Everything settled differently! lol Ahhh, the joys of having children!
Having said that, I'd do it all over again because our 2 babies are the best things that have ever happened to me and my hubby! HANDS DOWN!

Hot pink, teal, and yellow....LOVE

Running around the yard with my little man never looked so stylish! lol Seriously, this is the equivalent of my sweatsuit look. This skirt is the most cozy thing ever and you can dress is up or down depending on what you have planned for your day. This day, was my family day. We played, watched movies, and soaked up some sun!
Can we talk about these earrings now? UMMM....LOVE! I got them in yellow and in teal! What can I say, when I like something I buy it quantity! lol

I am FINALLY wearing the dress I won 2 months ago!! To be honest, it came in a size small, and up until after my surgery I wasn't a size small yet! I fit into it now! lol I guess there are some perks to surgery huh. lol
I love this dress! I love the color, pattern, and how sheer the material is. On this day it was 100 plus so I needed to wear light weight clothing. And you can see from the picture below that just going outside fogged up my lens. Thank you again Indah Clothing and Nicole for this amazing dress! I'm so sorry it took me so long to post it! ;)

These photos were taken 2 days before surgery.  The hubby and I decided to take the kids to the park. It was so beautiful out this day. Upper 70's with a bit of wind, just perfect. It helped to keep my mind off of things to see the kiddos laughing and playing in the park and sandbox. Just what I needed to relax! I love this look. Cozy, fashionable, and best of all I didn't have to do my hair! lol I love hats!

Oh, the weather outside is weather....

So the weather has been bipolar here in the suburbs of Chicago! In the 80's one day and in the 40's the next! This day was rainy and in the upper 50's. It was a jeans and t-shirt kind of a day! It was also a bit windy so I decided to go with an up do. How cute is this bun? I watched a how to video by Keiko Lynn to get her messy bun look. (She is a super amazing blogger that I follow). You can check out her tutorial here!
She has bangs, so since I didn't want to put all my hair up, I faked a bang. What do you think? Yay or nay?

I loved wearing this skirt! It was a very windy day and I had a few Marilyn moments, but mostly it just breezed around. LOVE!
I am so into gold right now (can you tell?! lol) and I find myself wearing the same 2 rings all the time. If it's not broke, don't fix it right?! ;)
Here is a picture of me with my older sister (she looks about 20 right?! Can you believe she is a mother of 3?) and the one below is all 5 of us! My 2 sisters and my 2 brothers!




Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! xo

Urbanog.com

Okay, so up until Tuesday I had NEVER heard of Urbanog.com! I was venting on my Facebook page that Modcloth was out of every dress that I wanted and Chelsea Harmon (a Stilettos and Diaper Bags reader) told me to check out lulus.com and urbanog.com. Now I love Lulus! That beautiful cobalt blue dress of mine is from there, but I had never heard of the other site and she said it has a lot of similar items as Modcloth and for cheaper. You have my attention Chelsea!!!! So naturally I clicked on through.
It's wonderful! I ordered 2 skirts and 2 pair of sandals (and spent under $75)! I'm so excited I found out about this site I had to share it with you!!!! Hope you enjoy it as much as I did. They really do have some great items for even better prices!!
Happy shopping ladies!
