Five Things

Yesterday's mail officially made this one of the best weeks in history. I'll tell you why.

{one}

These babies finally arrived:

Like I told my friend, I now have 5 babies...Tanner, Breckin, Farrah and these shoes.

I'm super-stoked. Ok, so now onto:

{two}

At my baby shower last March, my guests and I painted onesies for Farrah. She's now grown out of most of them, but I remembered I still had the fabric paint stashed away somewhere, so I pulled it out and made a few more! I think I'll be doing this on a regular basis as she grows out of them! It's actually pretty fun. The boys saw them and wanted to make one for her too, so I'll have to go buy some more onesies to paint.

Farrah turned 5 months old yesterday and earlier this week she rolled over for the first time!

{four}

On Tuesday, while Tanner was at school, I took advantage of Boone Hall Farms' Twofer Tuesday and took Breckin and Farrah to the pumpkin patch. It was lovely fall weather for it. {Don't worry, I of course plan to take Tanner when we all go as a family, it was just a fun thing to take Breckin to do during the day.}
 

That's B on some spiderweb thing...my camera ran out of room while we were there, so I didn't get many pictures! But we went on the hayride, he played on all the things they had there - jump houses, big jump pillows, slides, swings, etc. and we fed the goats.

{five}

It's fall again and it's time for me to decide what to do about my hair...go brunette, or continue with the blonde? Just before I had Farrah, I had a couple of salon sessions to get full highlights in and I haven't {nor have I really had the time to have} done anything since. So now I've got like 4-inch long roots and I'm in desperate need of at least a trim. {I'm trying to grow it really long again.} So what do you think?

Blonde....

or Brunette?

Sorry, it's a pretty old pic because I haven't been super-dark brunette in a while, which is what I would want to do if I went brunette again.

Help me decide! Let me know your vote in the comments!

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.

Kate Spade Emerald Cut Studs

Enjoy the rest of your week!

Coveted Color Combo: Coral & Cobalt

I'm lovin' a little coral and cobalt paired up lately. This pair is perfect for summer as it takes a beach tone like coral and the cobalt provides some nautical flair...I'm coveting this outfit right now...what a perfect little weekend get-up:

A coral blazer like this one at Topshop...

This JNB Farrah necklace will help me keep my beloved Cali close to my heart...

I'm a fan of Aldo shoes...and these Capecoral pumps are the perfect coral heel I've been looking for - and a steal at only $80.00...

A nautical-looking chevron print dress, like this one at Old Navy {the length is perfect for a mommy on the go}...

And the perfect bag to tie it all together...this beachy find at J.Crew...

If the Shoe Fits...

...or rather, gets you fit...

then definitely WEAR it!

I personally never bought into the whole Fit Flops thing, but I'm intrigued by these shoes Reebok has recently put on the market. I mean, I figure, they don't look ridiculous (unlike the aforementioned Fit Flops), so it's just like sporting any other running shoe, but supposedly they work your leg muscles up to 28% more than just running in your run-of-the-mill running shoes using stability ball technology. You're literally standing on little stability balls. I've got to wear running shoes anyway, so why not wear these and have the added benefit of working my muscles even more without any added effort of my own? I think I'll buy a pair...need some new ones for 5K season anyway! They are called Reebok RunTone. They also have walking shoes called EasyTone and they have others for cross training. Check them out for yourself!
