Making Faces
Ruby loves to make faces at herself anytime she sees a reflection. Our iPhone camera is one of those places.
Halloween “Crafting”
I picked up a few random things in the dollar bins at Target and with them, Ruby and I spent an evening making various Halloween things–pumpkins, a cat, a bat, a spider. Well, the ones that look like they were completed by a grammar school student are mine and the ones that are scribbles are hers. It won’t be long before she surpasses me in skill, I’m sure.

Photo Booth Fun!
On September 23, we went to Atlanta and had a great time at a Photobooth event put on by Three Pennies photography. The weather was perfect, the company was wonderful and we had an amazing time.
I would consider hiring them for any special event you want to remember well.

Uh…
I thought one of the bonuses of tall boots was HIDING your ugly wool socks. What am I missing with this trend?
First “Fashion” Blog
Pinterest is such a large part of my social media world right now. It enters my conversation often, and has inspired a creative and crafty side.
I also have noticed that the posts about outfits on there can often be unattainable with my small clothing budget, so I want to start posting things from time to time to show cost-effective options or my personal spin on current style. Here is my first attempt:
I’ve seen some great mixes of floral and stripes on the web lately and when I saw the below scarf at a recent trip to H&M, I had to have it. For $12.95 it was a steal and provided a new pairing for a whole outfit that I’d never thought of, with only ONE new $13 item.
You will also notice that I’ve not used a blazer or boots with my fall combo (popular on blogs – Fall 2011). I love my Steve Madden silver flats and I’ve had my denim jacket for many, many years and it has never let’s me down. I won’t pair it with other denim, though.
Instead, I used a pair of Gap Stretch Corduroys with a flare leg in dark grey, which looks great with the pointy toe on the flats. Tie it all together with the aforementioned scarf and a striped 3/4 sleeve boatneck tee from Mossimo for target and I’m good to go. Toddler chasing or meeting a friend for coffee, this ensemble covers it all!
Because my bag lately is a DIAPER bag, I recommend adding a simple white clutch ($20 online). For me, I can slip it in the diaper bag, and pull it out when on the go. I see a bag purchase in my near future. So much for ONE item. HA!
