National Donut...or Doughnut Day!!!!!

For those of you in the United States the first Friday in June is National Doughnut Day!  (I was a bit confused on the spelling of Doughnut...apparently it can be spelled either way.)

If you happen to be in Lincoln, Nebraska Lamar's is giving away a free glazed one.  Yay! I know Krispy Kreme does that also usually.

Ascension Tee

Yay! A pic where my hair is down! Still no make up but it's a start. I'm still working the 'casual' look here but I did throw in some kitten heel red shoes to add a bit of kick. I got this top as a gift from Angela! It's from Ascension which specialises in organic ethical clothing. I like how it's so soft and light with a good shape but not clingy. I put my hair up and took off the cardi to show you the pattern and somehow managed to lose my shoes in the process...

Ralph Lauren blazer

The other day I wore my FAVORITE blazer, a Ralph Lauren one I received as a gift for my birthday while I was in law school.  I always feel so classy and cool in it.  I wore a brown and blue paisley silk cap sleeved top with a cute peter pan collar and brown Express slacks.  Sorry these pics are so dark!  For some reason my new living room doesn't get a ton of light in the morning just before I leave for work.  I wore leopard print Nine West pumps to add some spice.

Metamorphosis

I'm finding that becoming a momma has changed my style. It has something to do with the fact that it has also  changed my figure, but I find that I just want to be comfortable more than fashionable these days. That's why you are seeing so many outfits that are casual and me without any make up! I really miss putting together outfits like I used to back in college. I also miss being able to leave my hair down but with my son's clutching hands it is just asking for trouble (and pain...what a death grip he has!). I liked this top because I love butterflies and I thought it was cool how these are made out of segments of a map!

Ridding clothes of bad memories

Have you ever had something bad happen while wearing a certain outfit, and you never could bring yourself to wear it again?  This lovely yellow bedazzled tank was that item for me.  I wore it at a party during law school that I would rather not remember.  I decided to finally get rid of the old "ghosts" so to speak, and give it another try.  I was set to attend a "Giving Spirits" event in Lincoln.  It's a pretty cool idea.  Every month people pay $10 to go to a bar and they get a free drink ticket.  The $10 goes to a charity that has been designated for the month.  I had a few really great Moscow Mule drinks, my new favorite, and a really great time.  Btw...if you like ginger ale you would probably love a Moscow Mule.  It has mint, lime, ginger beer (or ginger ale), and vodka.  Oprah has a recipe here.

Here's a picture of a Moscow Mule

It comes in a copper bug.  You usually have to leave your ID or something with the bar to get the cup.  They want to make sure you bring back the cup!  It costs $75 - $100 for a real copper cup

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 is this week's contender...Britney Spears! All pics taken from Go Fug Yourself and you should check out that site too for some very witty stuff!

So, what do you think?

Party after work

I had a challenge to dress for recently when a friend had her birthday party starting at 4:30 pm on a Friday.  I had to go straight from work.  Luckily we were having a casual Friday, so I wanted to wear the same out fit for work at the party!  I worea stretch jersey knit top with sequins and skinny jeans.  For work I added a black Antonio Melani blazer and black studded pumps.  For the party I switched to bright pink Nine West pumps.  

Here's a bit of a closer look at the sequin design.
