Nothing but rain around here for the past 2 days. So here's some fun & warm finds for the chilly season ahead, that won't break the bank!
Fur vests are BIG this year. This one from Express is on sale right now for 30% off + there's a coupon code for an extra $15 off on the main page...
Slouchy boots are also in right now. I purchased these in black suede from DSW. (They'll be cute with that black fur vest!) I had earned a $10 off certificate, but they also have free shipping on all orders over $35...
I love my new J.Crew ankle cords in dark aubergine, but they aren't kidding when they call them "toothpick." Best not wear those to Cheesecake Factory... LOL!
Gotta throw in a couple from Forever 21, too. I'm considering these caged heels... $20.80????
and this beaded tank...
American Girl has a cute little Halloween costume for their 18 inch dolls. Since we are leaving town on Halloween, I thought a little Halloween costume for Bryn's doll would be a cute gift. The $34 price for theirs was not so cute though. So... I googled 18 inch doll Halloween costume and found this great site! Not only was their little outfit less than 1/2 the price at $15.99, but she mailed it to me SUPER FAST. I received it 2 days later. Gotta love that!
My sister gave me one of these spiked heel cake servers a few years ago, but mine is now missing it's heel. Hate when that happens! Chiasso has one though, so I may have to replace it one of these days...
I also think their chopsticks are cute...
And this just made me smile when I saw it. I ♥ the 80's...
And Rock That Body gets me moving. How can you not love that they mixed in some Rob Base?
Just a photo snapped with my phone at dance class last night. We had to go out in the pouring down rain, but watching her dance certainly put a smile on my face...
Bob is running in a 5K tomorrow morning. The low temp is supposed to be 34 degrees, the high will be 61. Of course, at the 7:30am start time, it won't be that warm yet... probably more like a balmy 40 by then. He may be running it without 2 fans. Yowza... that's almost freezing... already!
Have a fabulous weekend!
34 degress? I thought you are in Missouri!!

Despite the heat here, I guess my mind was on the same track - I did a little shopping this week for some fall clothes. Your pix are just total eye candy and it's so cool that Bryn loves to dance so much. She looks so charming in her ballet outfit. Good luck to Bob tomorrow - at least it won't be too hot! Have a great weekend!

The fashion articles look great! Also you're finds for the kitchen. You daughter look cute. It reminds me when I used to dance ballet jazz in my early teens. Good times! As for rock the body and Rob Bases, goooood! It's been raining for over a week now, getting use to it! That's why I scrap! Have a great week-end. It's our Thanks Giving week-end here in Canada. But as french Canadian, I don't celebrate it. I steel give grace!

oh. oh. I love all of your fashion inspiration. I think I may be in need of some clothes. It just jumped from summer to winter here. We got our first snowfall Friday night. It makes me want to stay in bed all day.
I hope Bob did well, despite the weather. :)
Hope your weekend has been wonderful.
