serious

i've been looking cute.

unfortch i haven't been taking any pictures.

have faith friends.

until then i will tell you all the things i'm excited about for fall.

it's basically been fall here all summer

but

i like to wait till actual september...no one likes it when you jump the gun.

(what does that even mean?)

(don't tell me...i don't actually care)

some fall 2011 trends

 trend 1 polka-dots

can.

not.

wait.

i will (hopefully) be getting polka-dot:

tights

scarf

some sort of awesome t-shirt

trend 2 colored pants

i already have some red cords that are amahzing

i'd like to get some fuchsia

and in my wildest dreams mustard

trend 3 70's

let's just say i'm not gun-ho on this

buuut,

i would like a great pair of flare jeans

(i just don't know what type of shoes to wear with it)

trend 4 masculine

eh.

i think if i worked out in the world i would love this trend

but i don't exactly see me sporing a trendy tie while i wipe up spit-up.

anything you're looking forward to?

or that you've seen that you can not wait for!

layers and boots,

come to mama.

simple pieces

love this sweater.

you can snag emma stone's easy breezy airport outfit

and make it an easy go to in your closet!

and how great is this sweater for a transition to fall?

(answer: super-great)

and knowing old navy, there will be a sale liiiiiike,

next week.

something's better than nothing...

over exposed



have you ever had a major fail at the salon?

even though my hair was "fixed"

i'm still a little miffed:

if it was done right the first time my hair would still be considered healthy

it's still blotchy

(but 1000x's better than it was)

it took a lot of hours...and ditching of my children...which i'm not a huge fan of.

what i've learned:

you don't necessarily need to get your hair cut and colored by the same person

it's ok to go to two different people

you get what you pay for...so might as well go to the best the first time
(especially if you have a difficult color to achieve)

i'd rather spend $$ on a plane ticket and go to so-cal and visit my family and have my aunt do my hair.

epic fail and an inbetweeny-weeny.

**pic below

my hair appt was yesterday.

it didn't go so great.

i'm not sure if it was my fault or his but i thought,

"i want ombre hair" was pretty universal.

maybe the picture i brought was too...i don't even know.

so i look like a modern day cruela de ville...in a so not cool way.

i woke up a little after 5am to feed jj and i couldn't go back to sleep

because all i could think about was how my hair is an

epic fail.

i'm going back...don't worry.

i just feel bad that it didn't turn out right in the first place...i was there for 4 hours.

and left...frustrated.

until then...this is what i wore yesterday:

i wanted to wear my seychelles

but honestly they aren't an everyday shoe for my life.

what? you're shocked i can't walk

in a 5 inch wedge all day?

yeah, me too.

here they are...and also my super-awesome-amahzing fashion poses,

prepare to be mind-blown.

mind.



blown.

yes...there is considerable baggage in the crotch, knees and thighs

of my beloved cropped jeggings.

alas, they are too big.

but the next size down is too small.

i'm a mutant.

i have to say being inbetween a size is the highest level of annoying.

right now i'm wearing a size 16-

that's right, i said it.

shocked?

i know, i look pretty good for a 16.

was that totally self-absorbed or what?

i'm over it.

my goal is to be...wait for it...a size 10.

by jan 1.

and that's how i'm ending this post.

dearest hair,

remember yesterday when i was shaking because i was so nervous about you?

i'm sorry you went through so much and now you look dumb.

you have been a torment through-out my life and i've finally grown to love you...

and then i pour chemicals all over you and you look dumb.

i promise hair, i will get it all figured out. you're so healthy and beautiful...i'm sorry if i'm about to

damage you even more. please forgive me.

and by forgive me i mean don't get all frizzy and crap-tastic on me.

love, me.

**pic update...b/c i know you want to know** also: this is 7:30am, i haven't even rubbed the crap out of my eyes.
