Getting Organized and Mother's Day Gifts

Happy Tuesday and Happy Belated Mother's Day to all your hardworking Mommas out there! Mother's Day was pretty low key for me. My loving Mommy came over and spent the weekend with me and the grands. The weather was gorgeous so after my little one's swim class on Saturday, hubby put some food on the grill and we just hung out basically. My bestie and her daughter came over and spent the entire day with us too. We went out the mall and I got my mother's gift. She never needs or wants anything, so I literally have to force her to let me get her something. My girls were so sweet and used my best friend to help them pick out something for me. It was so cute how they tried to "hide" it from me, but all in all they did a good job with everything. I got some new MAC and a workout outfit from Pink. I told my daughter that was great motivation LOL! I loved it.

The colors in order are: Happy-Go-Lucky, Viva Glam Rihanna, and the gloss is Live It Up.
                                             

                                      

                                                        

                                    

So, in the same timing as getting organized with my spring/summer wardrobe, I've started to attempt getting more organized with this blogging. I am normally a person who writes notes and lists and I usually use my Notes app on my Iphone or my Ipad. I've always been a sucker for pretty notebooks, pens, anything stationary wise, etc. I had this notebook for awhile and I use it for random things I jot down. Now I will try to start planning out my blog posts and ideas. You can find pretty notebooks anywhere these days, but HomeGoods and TjMaxx have been the go to lately. I have these two gold ones in my possession now
and have been using them quite a bit lately. The plain gold one has a crock print and was found at Target in the clearance aisle for about $3. Cant beat that. So i'll be collecting alot of these along with my pretty pens so that when I really begin to get my desk area in my room together I can stack these as I want. Enjoy your week!!!

Something New

Months have passed and I have been going back and forth saying Im gonna post on my blog, Im gonna post on my blog. And it didnt happen. So now that I've finally decided what direction I want this to go in, I think Im ready. As I may have said before, or I think I did, this was started as a creative outlet for me. Whether it be my passion for baking, fashion, make up etc. It's all about my PASSIONS! If there's one place I can let me creative juices flow it will be here. SO,, without further ado, I am taking this blog in a new direction. Not to say I wont still be doing any of my home decor/diy stuff anymore. I'll be attempting to post OOTD (outfit of the day ) pics, make up looks, anything Im currently crushing on, etc!! As I've been strolling through the blogosphere I have been reading several postings of some very talented ladies. Almost all of them said that same thing that I've said, the blog was something that began as a creative outlet. Im not sure where this may lead to or rather it doenst matter, Im hoping to inspire others with my journey, etc as some of the ladies that I view do. If anything I take away from this, it will be that I have something to look back on and say, hey, I dedicated my time to this and I took it as far as it could go! Enjoy!!

Here are three pairs of shoes Im currently obessing over!! Actually salivating over....
                                               

Okay, so this goes without further introduction. I am REALLY REALLY obsessed with this shoe. Now, it currently retails for $875. OUCH! Ignore the price on the image that  says $760; this was found on google. You can go on Neiman or Saks' website to view as well.  Let me just say, I am a BAG girl, always have been. That is where I normally splurge. I love mixing hi lo fashion. I have just begun to begin looking at the higher end shoes. When everyone was harping on the Christian Louboutin rage, I didnt understand it. Really couldnt forsee spending over $500 and up on a pair of shoes that would kill my feet. Eh?.. whoever has done it, not criticizing; just saying it wasnt MY cup of tea or coffee rather, that is until I finally saw a shoe that I truly could imagine dropping dollas on. Not only do these shoes scream sexy, but gasp! They're comfortable. The platform of course has alot to do with this Im sure. I've read constant reviews (as I always do when Im researching something pricey as this) and I was equally pleased to hear its a shoe you can walk in all day long. Needless to say, the shoe is on backorder ,which gives me time to save my cash (HA HA) I probably wont have saved enough for the shoe to be able to wear it this year, lol, but by next spring/summer yes I will have it!!! So out of all the colors I love the brown the most. There's also a yummy patent leather shoe as well.
                                                      
This is the Gucci Ursula sandal. Another yet comfy shoe that I can see me buying.  Wanna know why?.. the heel is 3 1/2 inches!!!! It retails for $660. Yeah, this might be the first one I get.. hopefully before summer ends if I do right with my money LOL! These babies have been seen all over as well. The Valentino Rockstud heel. LOVE LOVE LOVE! Sadly, yes sadly, these retail even more than my beloved YSLs. They're going for $945. So, yep; as you can see.. i've got my work cut out for me. But you know what?.. It'll be fun getting there!! I love the fact that this one is probably more of an all year round shoe as opposed to the other two. I can rock this in spring/summer, and fall. I can see me now with a pair of skinny jeans, blazer, ect.. yep I've already let my mind go!
                                                       
What shoes have you been crushing on?
