Happy Hump Day!

I want to start out this post by saying how completely devastated I was to hear of Robin Williams' passing...and even more so when I heard the cause was suicide. It really goes to show you that someone you may know, someone who may seem so bright and funny, can still suffer from, and possibly succumb to, depression. If any of y'all reading this know anyone going through this, or maybe you yourself have a case of the blues, I implore you to reach out to them, or reach out and get help. I will say that Robin Williams was the type of guy to never make anyone unhappy...but for the first time in my life, he did so when he did this to himself. RIP Robin Williams...you will be missed and your movies, talent and wonderful laughs you create will be treasured forever.

I am enjoying our last week of summer vacation, but am also so eager to get back on a regular schedule. It's been nice having the lazy summer days to get used to Farrah's "routine", or rather, attempt to get her into one, but now that she's just over 3 months, she is a bit more predictable, so it will be nice to finally have a schedule. I swear, with not working and it being summer vacay for Tanner, I have no idea what day of the week it is most days.

Anywho...onto my lust list:

These shoes by Julianne Hough for Sole Society. They're no Valentino, but they've got that look. And I'll be real, I'm a Sole Society girl in a Valentino world. They were sold out at Nordstrom in this color, but I found them on Sole Society's website and my size was still in stock. If you find anything you like there, use Promo Code: TREAT25OFF to get 25% off your order.

Sole Society Anneke Mid Heel Pump

This top would look so great with a blazer this fall.

And B Sleeveless Top

I'm a big fan of Kate Spade and I'm in love with this little handbag. It's the perfect size for a night out. {Wish I got more of those!}

Kate Spade Cecil Court Bobi

I'm also loving Kate Spade's newest arrivals in jewelry. Farrah's birthstone is emerald and her collection is full of that color. I'm particularly smitten with these.

Enjoy the rest of your week!

Five on Friday

Hey y'all - happy Friday! I definitely need a weekend...but somehow I don't think I'll get much rest...two rambunctious boys makes that a wee bit difficult. This week has been the hardest thus far in this pregnancy....ultra-exhausted, starting to get nauseous on an empty or too full stomach and I really felt "hormonally-charged" when it came to my mood. Plus, getting a flat tire on the way to dropping the boys off to school on Wednesday really sucked...I was also due for rear brakes. It all got taken care of, but you know those things are never fun. 7 weeks down, 33 to go...

BUT, enough about that, going to try and turn it around.

In other news, here are five things I am happy about this Friday...

{one}

Yesterday, baseball practice got cancelled, but I found out a little late - on the way to practice. I was actually sort of glad because it's such a rush getting the boys a quick dinner and then racing to practice to get there on time. I love walking the bridge during practice, but my body definitely needed to not feel rushed yesterday...it had taken enough. So, we took a detour and headed here instead:

I love having a Kohl's charge card. They send their monthly mailings where you either get a 15%, 20% or 30% off coupon and I hit the jackpot this time with a 30% off coupon. Plus, they sent me a $10 coupon in my email just for switching to paperless statements. I knew I was going to score big. I left with a couple books for the kids {a buy one get one half off deal} and this Simply Vera Wang bag to take with me on my NYC trip in December {I had been looking for a good big bag to be able to carry my DSLR in while I walk the streets of NYC}:

I was so lucky because it was originally $99.00 and they had it displayed on their 60% off rack for SVW handbags {it wasn't alone, there were a few of the same bag}, but when I went to the register, it rang for $64.99. I told the lady it was with plenty of the same bag, not looking misplaced, the employees definitely messed up when they set it there, and she ended up giving me the entire 60% off. Score. I left with those two books and that bag for under $40.00 total after my coupon discounts. Gotta love Kohl's. I felt kinda bad that she had to give me the extra off, but it was definitely a misleading advertisement, and technically they are supposed to offer the advertised price, even if it's their mistake. I learned this tactic from my mom.

Experienced yet again a nice bridge walk with Breckin on Tuesday during Tanner's baseball practice...it was a gorgeous sunset. I even had some extra time to take him the the play park under the bridge afterward.

As a writer for Skinny Mom, they are having me do a product review on Hilaria Baldwin's new prenatal yoga DVD that comes out on Oct. 1st. It's actually really nice, I think it will help me maintain my flexibility throughout, and it definitely relieves back pain. If you're preggers, be sure to check it out!

{five}
We've had some great fall temps here in Charleston lately...I'm hoping I can pull out the scarves and boots really soon...this 3rd baby is showing a lot faster than my 1st and 2nd, so I'd like to be able to be comfy in some leggings and sweater dresses really soon!

Online Ordering & Oopsies

Ever since I saw this purse on Caitlin's blog, I was like, obsessed. I had to have it.

 

She didn't put the purse name in the post, so I just started with keywords such as Kate Spade, pink, straw, natural, purse, etc...and it never came up exactly what I wanted.

Long story short, a month or so went by and I was playing around on eBay and I saw this:

 

Yeah, look closely...NOT the same purse!!! I didn't even truly realize it until I opened the box yesterday. I mean, I do love this little tote, but it's more beach/book bag like and not really a purse, per se...so there went $109.00.

I went on an eBay hunt again last night as my last hope and lookie what I found:

Yep, that's the right one. It's $209.99. {Reeeally wishing I still had that $109.00 right about now.} Oh yeah, and it's from the same seller as the other one. Doh! Well, so I'm buying it. Just over $300 later, I will have this dream purse, and a cute little tote to boot.
