What I Wore

With summer in full swing, I have not been doing a good job of pulling looks together.  With the majority of our time in bathing suits, it has just felt like a lot of work.  What can I say, I am enjoying the fact that we can be a bit lazy during the summer.  There have been a few moments of motivation thanks to a date night, birthday party, summer excursions and of course, the 4th of July.

Gatsby

Though I am still feeling horrible (and perhaps completely drugged on cold and sinus medicine), I had to share my look from our event Saturday night.  I have always been a huge fan of The Great Gatsby and am enamored with 1920's fashion.  With all the Gatsby-inspired dresses that have recently been seen on the runway, I was itching for a reason to "dress up".  This fundraiser was perfect.  And even though the ocean weather was not accommodating to the curls in my hair, it was still so much fun to put the look together.

And here is another with our little pre-party group

Remember them from last year?
I am laughing at how different my looks are.

And now back to laying down, drinking tea and getting better!

What I Wore...

Today kicks off 48 hours of events for us.  From Los Angeles to Dana Point, we will be dressing up, drinking, dining and bidding (this usually involves my hubby watching me like a hawk as I peruse the silent auctions, followed by him taking my paddle during the live auction).  I am really looking forward to it all.

Here are a few looks from the past two weeks.  As the weather continues to shift I am pulling out more prints, white and dresses.  It is actually feeling a little bit like summer here and I LOVE it!

Have a great weekend!

Simplicity

On Saturday at my Oldest's First Communion, I wore one of my favorite looks so far this year.  It was clean, simple, sophisticated and perfect for Spring.  Though I love to layer, sometimes the simplest looks have the biggest impact.

What I Wore

Spring time has brought numerous events, holidays, Spring Break, LA Fashion Week, baseball games, dinners, field trips and basically, running around all the time.  My wardrobe has followed suit with spending one day in cut offs and flats followed by the next in silk and heels.  Here is a little look at what I have been wearing...

What I Wore

Now that the weather around here is starting to lighten up a bit, I have been happy to start pulling out printed dresses that have been hibernating in my closet and getting into the Spring spirit.  Of course they still require boots or leggings, but it is a start!

What I Wore

Back to reality!

After two weeks of Christmas vacation the three kiddos are back to school today and the reality of schedules, homework and practices have returned.  I loved having them home so much and am already looking forward to Spring Break.  The hubby and I had a wonderful time wine tasting this past weekend and it was the perfect way to call an end to this holiday season that I am so sad to see go.

Today I am busy getting back into the swing of things but wanted to remind everyone that I periodically post looks on Facebook in case you happened to be interested.  Here are a few of the recent ones.  With all the traveling we have been doing this break, I have spent most of my time in comfy clothes but have at least tried to look put together.  You can find the rest of my looks here on Facebook or on Instagram (@jugglinginheels).

What I Wore

Over the past week I was running around in "it is still summer" weather, attending blogging events and trying to keep up with school, athletic games and birthday parties.  A week in the life of a mother right?  Even though I need to be comfortable and casual, I still want to feel put together (especially when I have to get out of the car for preschool drop off and pick up).  I think that sometimes we feel that style means sacrificing comfort but with these looks, that was definitely not the case.

What I Wore

Though I have not really embraced the whole "fashion blogger photos" yet, I am starting to have fun posting photos on Instagram (@jugglinginheels) of what I am wearing.  It started with Fashion's Night Out and I just kept going.  

When you know you are going to post a photo of what you are wearing, it makes you spend a few more minutes getting ready.  You think about how you can push the limits on what you are putting on and perhaps wear something in a way you may not have in the past.  Believe me, I am not crazy, but it is fun to make being casual still cute.

Here are a few recent "looks" that I have posted.  I promise I am not trying to hide my face.  The problem is that when you are 6ft tall, you do not fit into the entire iPhone frame and I want to make sure you get the shoes!

I am laughing because now that I have written this out, I apparently have had a thing for Michael Kors, DV by Dolce Vita and Stella & Dot right now.  Oh well! What are you going to do!
