Ready to be an aunt!

I had the pleasure of snapping some baby bump shots for one of my best friends a few weeks ago, and I just could NOT resist sharing a few! I couldn't be more thrilled to help welcome her precious baby into this world!






seriously glowing!
  Reflecting on the past couple of crazy years, as this mama gets ready for a new chapter!
Crafting and cocktails!
A wonderful wedding weekend in Napa!

Thank goodness for girlfriends who will grab a drink with you on a whim!
And of course you have to be able to let that silly side loose ;-)

Check back this week for a re-cap on her baby shower. So.Much.Fun.

The fairest mirrors of them all!

 
mirror, mirror, not just on the wall! Which is your favorite...of them all?

Floor mirrors are so awesome for checking yourself before you head out the door, but I love it most for its power to open up a space...




And because this is just cute :)

Leather Leggings-Not just for Halloween?

   I know these have been on the fashion scene for a minute, BUT they are a brand new addition to closet-de-chelsea, thanks to my upcoming Halloween ensemble.

I have been loving them dressed up, or smartly dressed down...on someone ELSE. But it was only
when I took the plunge to buy a cheap pair for my costume, that I realized I would need to figure out a way to incorporate them into my every-day looks (without looking like a White Snake groupie.ahem.)

These are some of my favorite examples of how to take this look from biker to bombshell!

ADD




If a picture is worth a thousand words, then I have about 40,000 words for you! I guess it's just quicker and more fun for me to catch up with you this way! 
True to my personality, these pictures are totally A.D.D. and all.over.theplace.

One of my last posts was a birthday wishlist, where you may remember I wanted these puppies!
Ask and you shall receive, c/o my thoughtful husband. heartsies!
I've been making lots of fresh summer salads! They are great for my overnight shifts at work because they are not heavy at all, yet satisfying and de-lish, duh!      
 This particular salad has:
 1 can of garbanzo beans
1 cup of halved cherry tomatoes
1/2 cup of various chopped olives
1 chopped cucumber
1/4 diced red onion
the juice of 1 lemon
1clove of minced garlic
pepper to taste
1/2 cup of feta cheese
Spring patio margs, of course!

a fresh and yummy omelette full of all the garbage I could find in my produce drawer! Green peppers and mushrooms and leftovers from my garbanzo bean salad.

Dog day afternoons with my girls



sea foam jeans. I have no joke made friends over these jeans they have been so popular! I definitely recommend dipping your toe in the colored denim trend! These are LC for Kohls but may be sold out?!
  

craft and cocktail time! I call these our "doily dukes"

Most recently, I have tackled a crazy floor-set at work while in the throws of a Spring-cold.
It's time for early-summer concepts! I merched "I heart Africa", "Caribbean Cruise", and "Modern Romance"
Here are a few of my 3/4 forms from I <3 Afffffricaaaaa! The company is trying a new concept of having essentially 2 of the same shop for each "theme" but one appealing to a girl in her 20's, and one appealing to a more mature shopper. Basically it equals the merchandisers have mental breakdowns when sorting it all out and designing rooms, but should be a good move!
  If you got this far, thanks for baring with me!
