What's In My Bag, Yo?

Fadra surprised us all with a Saturday post and she mentioned it was fluffy and light-hearted and instantly I was intrigued. She joined in with Nice Girl and her what's in your bag post. If I have to admit one thing...it is that I am Nosy. That's right with a capital N. But I also don't mind sharing, so here we go!

This is my running to the store or heading out without the Boy bag. Don't let the size fool you...I can fit a lot in there!

A peek of what it looks like before I empty it all out. It has the essentials and doesn't look so bad, right?

Okay, now we are getting somewhere!

My essentials: LV wallet (gift from Hubbs), Blackberry, car keys on Tiffany key ring (wow, my Hubbs is Da Man!), designer sunglasses (scored at outlet!) and mints for nausea and fresh breath.

Random items: empty Publix giftcard, receipt from Kroger, empty wrapper from the Boy's snack and all the loyalty/reward cards from all sorts of stores. Exciting, right?

The makeup bag: Chanel glossimer, clear mascara, Estee Lauder lipstick, Yes to Carrots berry balm, Bubble & Bee organic chocolate and mint balm, Bubble & Bee organic lotion stick, Aleve bottle (with Tylenol), Clean Well sanitizer, Tide stick, blotting papers, Covergirl eyeshadow, floss, and girly products.

So that's it. That's what's in my bag, yo! Do you feel like you know me better? Want to play along? Visit Nice Girl Notes and join in the fun!

Fashionable Friday

Remember back when I said I wanted to incorporate more than Mommy talk on this blog? And I did maybe two fashion post and then the next thing I knew I was pregnant and it seems it is back to baby talk.

I am now deeming Friday, Fashionable Friday. I am going to try and make the post as fashionable as possible. We will see how it goes. I use to feel like I was a pretty in-the-know type of gal. I loved shoes and purses and looking made up. Then I got a job where it seemed no one knew a thing about fashion and so began my downward spiral into whatever was most comfortable. I began buying shoes that were more for comfort than fashion.

After being fired I began a work from home gig...which meant I could roll into the home office in pajamas or sweatpants. This further sunk my fashion sense into very murky waters. Oprah talked about not being a schlumpadinka and gave pointers on how some cute yoga pants from Old Navy could remake your wardrobe. I took that meaning into a whole other level. Yoga pants every day? Sure why not.

Follow that with getting pregnant and well...yoga pants turned into outfits I shall not name. I bought some maternity wear and was given a bunch of stuff from a friend but I sure didn't look like how I imagined I would.

But I still love fashion. I love flipping through an InStyle Magazine and drooling over clothes out of my price range. I love thinking about how I could copy the outfit but do it within my budget. Shoes, purses, accessories. These are all things I still love but just don't make time for anymore. Kids will do that for you.

So I am going to reclaim my fashion sense and love for fashion here on my blog. Even if it's only 1 day a week!
