Happy New Year!

Yikes it has been a while since a new post has gone up! Sorry about that...I have been super busy with Christmas, doctors appointments and getting a new 'family car' this past week that I unfortunately didn't have time to get to the blog. But here is an outfit for today! Excuse the dark photo, bare feet and slightly annoyed  look on my face but I am over 8 months prego! I am spending New Years Eve at home with Hubby doing absolutely nothing and very happy about it :D Wishing you all the best for 2012!!

Fabulous Friday

Once again, it is time to play "Give it a Miss, Give it a Go or Give it to Me" where I'll post pics of celeb outfits and you can tell me whether you wouldn't wear it (give it a miss), like it and might wear it (give it a go) or love it and want it (give it to me). 

 Here are this week's contenders...Archie Panjabi & Vanessa Hudgens! All pics taken from Go Fug Yourself and you should check out that site too for some very witty stuff!

Monkey See...

So this isn't a fashion post but I've been a little preoccupied this weekend with all things 'baby' and didn't really wear anything spectacular to talk about! Tonight we finally put together the baby cot and all the bedding. It is so damn adorable! Now I just need to get the room looking all nursery-like and then I will feel like we are closer to being ready for Baby T's arrival :D

Oh Christmas Tree

Probably should have posted this on Monday since we actually put it up Sunday night but oh well! I am so excited to have a real tree this year :D When we were living in the flat I couldn't really justify the hassle of a real tree (space, lugging it up stairs, the mess, etc) but now that we are in the house it just made sense to go all out now! The trees here are different than the ones I am used to from back home so it was a little challenging for me to find one that felt 'right' but we finally did. It's just a little fella but I am happy with the way it turned out..it's so cute!! Have you put up your tree yet?

Bright colors in winter time!

The other day I dared to wear lime green in the winter! I wore an Antonio Melani suit coat with a creme cowl neck East 5th sweater and brown tweed slacks.  

Back to Black

I still cannot believe that Amy Winehouse has passed away.  Rest in Peace Amy! I love her music.

Last week I wore my black wool cape aka capelet and a black and white silk blouse with Vera Wang jeans and Bandolino black boots.

I think vintage pin ups with hose with lines on the back are so sexy! I love the back of this blouse because the full exposed zipper back feels a little naughty too.

Optical Illusion?

I am afraid I can no longer wear this dress since I've gotten so big it is starting to stretch the seams too much. But, as the title implies I think this is a great illusion...from the front I don't really look prego and then I turn and BAM! There it is! This dress is from Oasis and one reason I bought it was that the pattern was so bright. Tonight is my friend Michael's going away party. He's heading to Canada for a year...I'm going to miss him sooooo much!! Think it will be a bittersweet gathering for me :( Hope you are all enjoying the weekend!

Summer shoes in winter!

 I scores some fun booties by Vera  Wang from Kohl's. I couldn't wait until next spring to bust them out! I wore a J. Crew orange sports coat with a brown and patterned sweater and Victoria's secret skinny pants.  You can also get a peek of some of my favorite  pictures that I hung in my new office! I scored those in an Estate sale in Wichita.

Last week when I wore these we had relatively good weather.  The highs were in the 50s! On Saturday we actually had our first big snow of the season!

Go with Green!

Okay so I am sort of cheating with this post because I wore this outfit a while ago and forgot to post it! The weather is now much too cold to wear just leggings and flats with no socks. This is a maternity dress but I am hoping I will be able to wear it after the bump is gone because even though it is simple I really like the colour. It is very comfy too! The necklace is a fancy mask and I just can't resist Dorothy Perkins jewellery so I had to get it. Chloe very much enjoyed sneaking into my pics too :D

Traveling to Aspen

Here is Joshy and I after day 1 of driving.  We had just arrived in Boulder, Colorado.  I wore a comfy Columbia plaid shirt, jeggings, and boots.

Here is day 2, exploring Boulder.  I wore a Gap vest, White & Warren cable knit cashmere sweater and Elle jeggings.

Here are the "Flat Iron" mountains just outside of Boulder.  I cannot imagine how students at University of Colorado get much done with such beautiful scenery around all the time!

This is in Aspen, Colorado.

There were some pretty ridiculous houses and amazing shopping.  Can you imagine a Burberry and Dior staying in business in a town of 6,000?  Granted, it does go up to 30,000 during busy times.  But still.  I guess it takes only a few rich people to keep them going!

We also got to see the "World Cup", women's downhill skiing competition! We saw competitors and teams from all over the world.  I have to say, Austria and Germany have some amazing skiers.  Lindsay Vonn did pretty well for the US though!

Easy crock put chicken & dumplings

My new job requires more hours than my earlier job did.  I love the new job, but I've had to adjust my cooking slightly.  One fun way to have a great dinner ready is with a crock pot!

I love chicken and dumplings, but the dumplings normally requires a lot of work!  I found a recipe on the blog Bubblecrumb uses flaky grands biscuits as the dumplings.  They really do turn out as tasty little dumplings! She suggests just five biscuits cut up into small pieces.   I would suggest using the whole package of seven or eight biscuits.  We would have enjoyed more dumplings!

I also added more salt and pepper.  I cooked my chicken and dumplings on low for 10 hours.  I put the biscuits in for the last two hours of cooking.

A 'Meh' Kind of Day...

Well as the post title implies this was just a 'meh' outfit for a mediocre day. I actually got rid of this top after I wore it. I bought it when I was on my honeymoon (mostly out of a desperate need to buysomething!) and I think I just really liked the colour a lot. The two separate connected pieces can look good when the green piece is placed in the exact right spot..but it likes to shift around and then it looks a bit silly. Oh well...can't hit a home run all the time!

Fashion at an Indian wedding

Not long ago my husband's entire immediate family was in Wichita for a family friend's wedding.  I personally love wearing Saris.  So I wore one for the occasion.

Here is the whole crew!

Bright colors in the fall

I havn't been doing much shopping lately because we are supposed to be saving for our new house in Lincoln.    But, I happened to stop by Dillards the other day when they had just put a bunch of their Antoni Melani items on sale for 70% off, that almost NEVER happens.  All of the good stuff is gone by the time I get there most of the time.  So here is how I wore one of the jackets, that is probably meant for the summer time.  But, I think bright colors should be worn year round!

I wore this Antonio Melani tweed jacket with a super soft Antonio Melani knit dress, black Calvin Klein tights (via ebay), and red patent leather Nine West pumps.  I also added a red belt to keep the jacket cinched in.

Baby Shower III

So I have now had 3 baby showers. Two of them were via Skype, one with my dad's side of the family and the other with my mom's. It was cool but sort of strange at the same time! I really enjoyed being able to see all my family and thank them for all their cute little gifts for my little one. Today my friends Michelle and Gosia organised a baby shower in town for me. It was at the Buttercup Cafe which I'd never been to before. It was lovely! We played a 'name the celebrity kid' game along with guessing the weight and due date of the baby. We'll have to wait and see who wins that one! :D We ended the gathering with me blindfolded trying to guess different baby food flavours. I got 2 1/2 out of 4 right. Some of them were so gross! I brought them home and Hubbs was only able to get 1 1/2 right so at least I beat him ha ha!

My wonderful friends who were able to make it to the event!
