I purchased this dress back in August for my birthday and I knew it didn't fit, but I was determined to lose weight some day. After the holidays I went on a juice cleanse for 5 days and lost 7 pounds. After the juice cleanse my appetite hasn't been the same. I eat what I love, but small portions. I've lost an additional 4 pounds and now my dress fits! I confess, I did make other purchases from other shops and I now I'm excited to try them on.

 My normal weight has always been 145 to 150 lbs and I was 164! So before anyone thinks I am trying to get skinny, that is not the case here. I love my curves. I simply want to get back to my normal weight. 

I'm off to do some Spring shopping at Shopbop because they're having another sale! I just love their sales. I always find what I want. Save up to 75% off by taking an additional 25% off sale items by using code GETLUXE. 

Happy Shopping!

These jeans by Rag & Bone/jeans have become my favorite pair. They're high waisted, comfortable and hit just right at the ankle, which I love. I just wish I got them one size smaller since they have some stretch in them. They're the perfect pair for mules, heels, or cool sneaks.

 By the way, in case you're wondering my sneakers are custom from Nike ID. 

Hope everyone has a happy Friday!

This week we got a little taste of Spring and even though it was only for two days, it got me excited for warmer weather. I know I say this all the time, but I really can't wait, mostly for the shopping. There are so many pretty things! 

Shopbop adds new items everyday, so every morning while Gavin eats breakfast I take 10 minutes to check out what's new. I've been eyeing these pieces and thought they're just too good to not share. 

Thank me later!...or now.

Can you believe this weather? Here I was excited about going into March and it's beginning to be worse than February. Gavin's school is closed today due to the weather, I've been up since 5am because of Kevin's stupid alarm and our master bathroom is being renovated, which I can't wait to be over. I'm like Monica from Friends. I get some serious anxiety when I see my house in a mess, especially when I have zero control over it.  So in conclusion, today is looking like is gonna be a pretty rough day. But hey, at least I got to wear my cool Red boots before the storm.

Stay warm everyone!

If you would have asked my 17 year old self, would I ever own a pair of White pumps, I would have said Hell to the No.  I thought White pumps were the tackiest and ugliest. I remember being embarrassed when my mom wore her pair. And now here I am, in love with my new Stuart Weitzman White pumps.  I can hear my mom telling me, " Been there, done that " Yes, Mami. You had style.

 

Now let's hope there isn't another storm so I can enjoy my shoes.

Have a great weekend!

After desperately waiting for Spring, it's finally here and we got bombed with another Nor'easter storm. I just looked out the window and it looks like we have about 5 to 6 inches of snow so far.  This is freaking crazy! But on a positive note, Our little family will be in Orlando, Florida soon. So I'll just think of warm and sunny thoughts. 

Hope everyone is staying warm.

You have seen me wear this blazer before and no, it is not a dress. But it is long enough to wear as a dress. I just had to wear tiny shorts under so no one would see my ass between the split the blazer has in the back. Other than I think this outfit turned out okay. What do you think?

As you guys know, we took a little family vacation. Originally we had booked in Disney Resorts April 4th- April 8th, but then decided to leave to Florida 4 days earlier and stay with my Mother in Law in Bonita Springs for those 4 days. It was time for Gavin to spend some time with his Grandma. He hadn't seen her in a long time, so I thought he was gonna be distant, but he was all the opposite. He loved spending time with her, her little dog Ellie, and of course he loved spending time in the pool. 

Our first day landed on Easter and Claudia, Kevin's mom, hosted Easter dinner for 28 of her friends. Gavin mingled with all of them, I drank lots of wine and I made my first deviled eggs, which were a hit and I ate a bunch, but as Kevin would say, "that's not surprising" what can I say? I love to eat.

Anyway, I wore floral flowy dress to hide my Easter gut. It was so comfortable and perfect for Florida's warm breezy weather. Sure sucks to be back home to 40 degree weather. Can it be Spring Break again? No? Well, in the mean time head over to ShopBop's huge end of season sale!

When I packed for Florida, I made sure I packed light, breezy and no fuss clothing. It's the only way to enjoy your vacation, especially if you're gonna be doing a lot of walking or running if you have an active 4 yr old boy. (seen on 6th photo) This little combo is simple, but still so good.

Midi skirts or wide leg pants with crop tops is always my go-to outfit for warm temperatures.  I believe I have been wearing this combo for at least 8 years. Wow, that's a lot. It's so easy and comfortable and it keeps me happy.

I finally got the energy to upload the rest of my Disney World photos. It's been a Yo-Yo week for me. One minute I am feeling okay and another I am on my death bed.  I hate Fibroids! I wish I could escape to somewhere tropical. I know, don't we all? My surgery was moved up to June, so hopefully Kevin and I can squeeze in a mini trip before that. 

But on the bright side looks like this week mother nature will be feeling generous. Summer weather! 

I'll just be happy I am not wearing a sweatshirt.  Slides and midi dress here I come!

I purchased this Zara wrap dress online a month ago and was pretty disappointed to see that it was pretty short on my Giraffe legs. The model online was probably around 5'8" since it didn't look this short on her. Anyway, I refused to return it and made it work with jeans. I like how it worked out together...and I can also use it as a beach cover up. Maybe if someday I shrink 2 inches I can wear it as a dress, in the meantime I am very happy with the outcome. 

Dedicated to my tall ladies.

I can't remember the last time I shopped at Forever 21, I think it was probably in 2010, mostly because at that time almost every blogger (including myself) felt the pressure to buy high end stuff, which now I think it's completely ridiculous.  I love to mix high end pieces with low end pieces, so I buy whatever I flippin' like. What are you thoughts on this?

 I believe this was our 6th day at Disney World. We spent the day at Disney's Hollywood Studios which was great for Gavin because they a lot of favorite Character there, like McQueen, Cruz, Woody, plus they had Dinosaurs which he loves. We also had a Character lunch at Hollywood Vine which allowed Gavin to meet and take pictures with all the main Disney Characters without having to wait in line for hours. If there's one thing you have to do with your children is Character dining. The kids get to meet Mickey Mouse and the gang without having to wait in line for hours. And we all know we don't want to do that under extremely hot weather.

Anyway, I hope you like my little Blue dress.

Wore this simple outfit during Memorial Day weekend. I didn't exactly pack for chilly weather and this was the best I could do to stay warm. It's probably when I got sick, but at least I got a nice tan.
