Oh Baby

Tony and I have now been married for just over 2 years. And recently, we've been taking about babies. You know, I'm in my 30s. And married. It's about time...

But I am nervous and a little scared. Not for this opportunity for Tony and I. But because we have so much on our plates right now. We travel a lot. It's all for work too. So it's not like that is going to slow down anytime soon. Being that our store is in LA, and I get most of my work done in CA, you would think we'd move out there permanently. But we like our hometown. And our home.

Then you have to look at the work schedule itself. Lola is my biggest client by far. Also one of my very best friends! But she is definitely doing less work than she was 2-3 years ago. Mostly because of her health. But the fact that she has found a man to love and grow a relationship, also has some part. And you can't blame her. Trying to fit in her work schedule, with his. He has to travel like 4o something weeks a year! So she's working less.

But there is still work. We still do shows with Lola. And with those shows comes a lot of work. Handwork done by me, and me alone. For 1 show, we're looking at 7-10 different outfits. That's just for the show! Then she usually needs clothing for appearances and photo shoots. If the girls are performing with her, that's more work. At least 50 different outfits for 1 show! And if it's the band, that's easily 15 different shirts, multiplied by however many they order. Usually 5 sets.

So there's a lot of work. And until Lola decides to really slow down, I don't really see Tony and I have a baby anytime soon. It makes me a little sad. But I can't imagine hand stitching costumes until 3am with a crying baby. Or flying back and forth to LA 3-4 X's a month.

Until then, Tony and I are just going to enjoy married life. We LOVE it! And have decided to slow down a little this summer. Just enjoy our hometown, family, and friends. Most of all, enjoy each other. Because what's the rush? God has our entire lives already planned out for us.

Sequin Clutch

Tony and I are invited to a bunch of weddings this summer. And I want to have a little fun with my outfits for each one. So I've been looking for evening accessories.

Today I went to Target. And I happened to see this clutch as I was looking for hair ties. Strange that it was there next to the hair brushes. But I really like the look of it. And it was a steal at $17!



I can actually see myself using this for a variety of events. And I really like the detail on the clutch. Target is really stepping up their style game!

Ruby Pumps

Look at what I've been wearing for the last 2 weeks...



It's China Glaze nail polish in Ruby Pumps. And it's my new love. Friends encouraged me to buy it a few weeks ago. Now I can't put it down! It's beautiful. And sparkly. oh so perfect for the holidays!

Scarf Love

I recently went shopping with my friend Lola. I'm in love with this scarf that we both bought! You have to love it! We found it at Target. We had gone for some tape and some chocolate. We each left with one of these.



Best of all, it was only $13. I LOVE the rouching. And I can see myself wearing this 3 out of 4 seasons. It's a really great buy!

Beautiful

My friend Lola always wears scarves. She has inspired me to add them to my outfits this season. And she even bought me this beautiful scarf from Target.



I LOVE the look and feel of this scarf. It adds just the pop of color to my almost boring black attire of late. I know, I need to get inspired to care about my outfits again. But this scarf, it makes me smile. And it adds so much interest to your outfit. And it a only $13. Even if you're just wearing a boring pair of black pants with a black shirt. :)

Dare

I'm not a big beauty guru. In fact, I used the same makeup for years. Honestly, I did. Not the same actual product, but the same makeup. You know, I repurchased the same things over and over and over again! I painted my nails the same nude shade, forever!

Then I took a job with Lola. And I met Manders. She is such a fun woman. Both these women are actually. And they've helped to opinion my eyes to the world of beauty.

And recently, Lola sent me this set of nail polish. In Dare. I'm in love. Definitely out of my comfort zone. But in love! I've already tried the 3 colors on the top. And I'm looking forward to experimenting with those on the bottom row. Tonight, I might just have to try Envy (green). You can get this set too! For $36, here.
