WOOHOO!!! It's Friday!

I am looking forward to the 3-day weekend and am very thankful to all our Service Men and Women that serve in the US Military.  They deserve more than a day of honor here and there, but it nice that our nation at least does that!

Today I am wearing pair #91.  These are a great pair of plaid, sling back, peep toe, wedges!

Today I have these wonderful wedges paired with dark wash jeans, a bright white top, and a red cardigan.

I hope you have a great weekend and have an opportunity to celebrate all the Veterans, past and present, that you know and love!

Happy Anniversary Led Zeppelin!

Well, Led Zeppelin IV, that is!  Today is the 40th anniversary of this amazing and timeless album! 

Today is pair #90!  A great pair of vivid green Etnies! 

Comfort & style!  What more could you ask for?!?!

See you tomorrow!

Under the Weather!

No you didn't miss anything!  I was home sick yesterday... curled up on the couch in my pj's, drinking hot tea, and doing what I could to feel better, including not posting to this fantastic blog.  It worked!  Today I am back at work running like crazy to catch up!

Today I am wearing pair #89, a super comfy pair of Roxy shoes with warm fleece lining.

They are just what I needed today.  Comfort and warmth!

Also, I got a fun gift today from a friend/co-worker.  She just returned from a trip to Hawaii and said she happened by a fabric store and knew she has to peruse the shop for something fun and unusual for me!

She brought me 2-yards of this amazing fabric:

I can't wait to find a whimsical and unexpected pattern to make using this amazing fabric!

See you tomorrow!

Rain, rain, and more rain...

I love waking up to the sound of rain; however, I don't like having to get up and go about my day in the rain.  Rainy days are great for lazing around the house, baking, watching movies, and taking naps!  So today I have already ventured to the orthodontist, the office, and will be heading out to the field for a while.

Good thing I am prepared!  Today I have not one, but two pairs of footwear to add to the challenge total.  First pair #87 is a super fun pair of rain boots.  They are made my Little Miss Matched.  I frequently reference their socks, but they also make awesome rain boots!

I get a ton of compliments and comments on these boots.  I adore them and it makes splashing in puddles so much more fun!

Now that I am in the office, I have put on pair #88.  My purple passion Chucks!  What more do I need to say.... they are purple and that makes them awesome in their own right!

I hope you have a great weekend and find something fun to do in the rain.  As for me, I will be breaking in my new kitchen tonight with one of my favorite meals..... potato tacos!  YUMMMMMMM!

Thankful for Thursday!

I had a very nice time last night at the Skirball Center, even if it was a bit unorganized and behind schedule.  I truly enjoyed the conversation that was presented by some amazing, very established, educated women!  It was a welcome change to be celebrated for being a career woman with an education, instead of being judged based on what size pants I wear. 

One of the guest speakers, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, is a documentary film maker.  Her film "Miss Representation" looks amazing.  The film explores the media's misrepresentation of women and how it has effected our culture.  I cannot wait to see it and take action to help change our culture! 

Also, I came home last night to a (almost) complete kitchen!  Tomorrow is our 4 month anniversary of moving into our new house and I finally have a kitchen!  I am so excited!  The balance of the work (faucet and garbage disposal) is scheduled to be completed today.  All that will be left is our counter tops and floor.  However, even without those last two items, my kitchen is (will be by tonight) fully functional!  WOOHOO!!!!  Here are a couple pictures...

Now back to, what seems a bit trivial after last night, the shoe challenge.  Today I am wearing pair #86, an amazing pair of Franco Sarto suede boots.

Love, love, love these boots!  Today I have them paired with an olive green dress that has some very small purple and camel flower details, and a camel cardigan.

See you tomorrow!

Wow....

this week is dragging on!  It seems to be going very slow to me!

Well, today is a very busy day!  A large majority of my kitchen will be finished today.... WOOHOO!  Then I have the normal crazy work day, followed by a special event tonight up in LA.  I will be attending a women's event at the Skirball Center including cocktails, conversation, and a private viewing of the exhibit "Woman Hold Up Half the Sky".  I am looking forward to it!

Today I have two pairs of shoes to add to the challenge total.  Pair #84 a pair of pink Ugg boots that I wore into the office this morning.

Now I am wearing pair #85, a great pair of grey buckle boots.

They go great with my grey and cream dress and textured tights.  My outfit is accented with a purple tank and cardigan.

Enjoy the rest of your afternoon and I'll be back tomorrow!

Pair #84

I hope you are all having a great day and not suffering too badly from a Halloween hang over!

Today I am wearing pair #84, another from the Converse sub-collection. 

These shoes are very unique as they made with woven green ribbon on the top which provides a fun

checker board detail.

See you tomorrow!
