Do you guys ever find yourselves sitting at the beginning of January asking "where did the holidays go...they always fly by so fast..." I know I do every year. This year I decided to make December all about holiday opulence....sequins, leather, fur, decadent fabrics, bright colors and tons of jewels. This way I can get my holiday spirit right where it needs to be! So today's opulence: sequins of course!

Also, do you guys have any items in your wardrobe that your spouse just hates? Bahahaha this little red corvette sweater is definitely on my husband's burn list which makes me lurve it even more.

So here's to the holidays skrillas....may yours be merry and bright :)

Ps I'm linking up with Molly again so be sure to check that out!

And for the accessories du jour.....The Stella & Dot Renegade Cluster bracelets in silver and gold....ps, you NEED these!

Ok so this outfit reminded me of this sugared plum Yankee Candle I have.....but, you guys.....I hit a new low yesterday. So anyone that knows me is aware that I have very little will power or self control, especially when it comes to food....and yesterday I happened to be walking through the mall when a sign caught my eye....it was a PUMPKIN....PIE.....BLIZZARD.....WHAT?????!!!! Yea, boom obviously I ordered one....then I saw the bacon, cheddar hot dog and was like "if I'm gona do this then I'm gona go all the way." Horrible idea, terrible.  Thankfully you can't see all of the bacon bits and pumpkin pie ice cream I dropped all over this outfit in these pictures. I guess my lesson was.......nevermind, I just found some chocolate downstairs!

One of the first blogs I ever started reading was Kendi Everyday. With her wity remarks and effortlessly cool style Kendi has been at the top of my reading list since the first day I came across her little slice of the blogosphere. When I saw these pants on her a couple of months ago I swooned over them....and last week I just so happened to be walking by the sale section of Target and there they were...I figured there was no way they had my size left....but there they were.....on sale for $12....................what, what?! So I grabbed them and skipped merrily to the checkout, well, as merrily as you can skip while pushing a stroller!

PS certain things have been said that have led me to a little rant today so here goes: 1. if I'm "following" you its because I'm interested in seeing how you put things together or what you have to say, not because I "need" you to follow me (although I am super grateful for those of you who  take the time to read my blog and that follow me :) ) 2. if one more person tells me that I "need" to "follow" them or that I "need" to leave comments on their blog I'm going to let out 9 months of sleep deprivation on them, when did everyone become so OBSESSED with how many followers they had?  3. I know my pictures aren't that clear and I don't have a nice camera......in the last year I have gotten married, bought a house AND had a baby....that all trumps getting to buy a new nikon, I can't apologize for that and lastly 4. I edit my pictures a certain way and sometimes you can't always see all the details of my outfit so well, this blog is more of my photojournalistic diary of what I'm up to because my friends and family read it and they like to know (and I love and miss them all dearly). That's it, please don't take this as me bashing the blogging community, there are so many wonderful people in it and I can't explain how much this little spit up covered blog has gotten and I really do appreciate it. I'm just me trying to figure out my new mommy style......and I'm going to keep doing me
