By now, I should be all snug up in a bed in Kentucky, all cozied up in flannel pjs after driving through the night. Hopefully granny and grandaddy are up for watching the girls for a few hours!
If not, we'll still be driving as we had stopped off for the night.
Give us good vibes as the weather is not going to be anywhere close to favorable for this trip!
Yesterday I posted my OOTD. Comfortable for travel while still be stylish when stopping off the road for meals. Plus, I had to stop into the office briefly, so I didn't look to underdressed.
One of my favorite things to do is stalk fashion blogs. Of course, I generally can't (or don't want) to spend the kind of money some of these bloggers do on their outfits, so I like to Spy It, Buy It and copy the looks and styles. Fashion on A Dime I guess you'd say. Yes, I like to splurge here and there but most of us have to be real as we can't afford to look like a runway with brand new Prada,Louis Vuitton or Tory Burch bag, shoes, outfit etc. every day of the week.
Here's what I wore yesterday and we'll concentrate on the booties.
Booties from Macy's (Style and Co. - Sold Out) - More below.
I adore the Tory Burch Fulton Booties. But I just splurged on a pair of Tory boots that were "bad on sale" as I don't think I'd spend $550 on a pair of boots. But anyways, here's the Fulton. Normally $385.00, they are on sale for $269.50 HERE. This is my Spy It.
Here are my Buy It choices. Both from Macy's, the one on the right is the Bandolino Evora Booties for $79.99 and the one on the left is a Vince Camuto Ristin Bootie for $129.99 both currently on sale.
The ones I'm wearing (Style and Co. Charlee's Booties) are sold out, but you can get them in oak, grey or brown HERE. Actually, the grey version looks exactly like the Tory Burch Fulton suede grey booties.
Last weekend we headed up to Orlando and stayed at the Gaylord Palms hotel. If you haven't heard of it, it's a huge hotel in Orlando, not associated with Disney, that has wonderful Christmas festivities for the family. There is an Alpine Village where they showcase a walk-through winter wonderland, so appropriately and simply named, ICE, as the entire village is made of ice.
So we bundleded ourselves up, including H.G. Underneath all of this she's also wearing a heavy coat, sweater and gloves. We Florida people don't take too kindly to 9 degree weather!
There was a slide made of ice. Lolly flew down it pretty fast. Me? I got stuck.
After ICE but still inside the Alpine Village we stopped to see Santa Claus. H.G. did really well, this time. This picture was taken just after. Love my silly girls!
It's always fun running into and hanging out with good friends. Notice their necklaces? Lilly bought a friendship necklace while visiting and decided to give the other half to Lolly!
This picture was from Husband's office party. Santa always visits and gives all the kids a present. Thus, the obligatory one-year old screaming and read faced Santa picture that all parents have stocked away.
Lolly's 2nd grade teacher hosted a pizza, PJs and craft night for all her students. WHAT fun this was (and exhausting for us volunteers!) Lolly is making a gingerbread house pre-made by yours truly with ornamental icing and graham crackers. They really turned out great and the kids had a blast!
That's all for now. Happy Tuesday Y'all!
Good morning Y'all! We had a wonderfully relaxing weekend, really didn't do much of anything other than prepare the Chevy Suburban Sleigh for our Christmas trip north. It was nice intentionally planning nothing as we were not stressed at all trying to squeeze everything in on time!
I'm busy working on several posts to last us through the beginning of the new year when we return. In the meantime, here are a couple OOTDs to share.
Necklace - Bauble Bar (I think...I bought it last year and I'm not 100% sure). It actually has three strands, I didn't realize until just now that one is hidden behind my shirt.
Boots - Tory Burch - on SALE HERE!!
Nope, no leggings. It will be 82 degrees here by noon. I canNOT wait to get north (y'all are thinking I'm crazy. I really just want to wear my winter clothes without sweating).
Ashleigh, look. I'm showing my face!
This weekend I wore a Lilly Pulitzer shirt (old) and Tory Burch shoes (also old). The necklace I bought at Target years ago. The shoes, I'm not quite sure what I was thinking at the time as I had nothing to match them. But over the past couple of years, I've collected quite the collection of fuchsia and now I find myself wearing them quite a bit. The jeans are Gap 1969.
Steve insisted on getting in on the picture taking action.
At some friend's urging, I'll try to get back to some outfits of the day. I'll also see if Husband can start taking decent pictures. iphone pictures just don't do it and the lighting in my office is terrible for iphone pictures.
Ignore my hair....I have a hair appointment on Saturday, my ends are a mess!
H and M jacket and pants. Seriously, I get compliments every time I where this suit over all my others. It fits me perfectly, the jacket being the perfect length (and without tailoring, a definite plus!). HERE and HERE.
That's the Work OOTD. Happy Tuesday Y'all!
