What I wanna buy Wednesday - 02.29.12

See - I'm trying to get back to posting regularly - at least a few times a week! It's late though, so I'll update more later, but for now...I'm here to bring you this week's installment of WIWBW!

1. A cool tunnel for the munchkin:

{Photo Credit}

My little baby is growing up so fast! In fact, she's so big, she tells me "baby, baby, baby" & lays in my arms when she wants to be cuddled like a baby. :) So cute, but bittersweet of course since she's growing up too fast for this mama! Anywho, I have been eying this cute tunnel in my most recent One Step Ahead catalog because her latest & greatest is crawling through & under stuff - like our ottoman (it's a big one with an open bottom for extra storage), like under our legs, etc. Maybe the Easter bunny will bring this along for her?!


2. A new sectional for my living room:

{Photo Credit}

Ever since we purchased a sectional for the basement, I've been lusting after this one for our living room. One problem (besides the obvious cost issue) - I don't think we have room in our teeny living room. Sigh. Maybe in the next house. :o/

3. A pair of gray jeans:

{Photo Credit}

Ahhh I actually have a pair of gray jeans, but ever since having the munchkin, these hips & booty will just not fit back into my size 7's. Ugh. So, I went to gap & tried these on - loved them, but wasn't loving the $70 price tag. So my awesome friend & neighbor bought these for me as a gift (she works for Gap & got 50% off, woo) - LOVE her to pieces! And I'm also loving my sweet new pair of gray jeans! Thanks Pam...xoxo!

4. A striped cardigan:

{Photo Credit}

I saw this pinned on an outfit on Pinterest & just had to have it! Luckily, it's on sale at Abercrombie, so I got it in Navy because that's even cheaper & I like navy more than red. For some reason, I am loving stripes right now - it must be a new spring trend because I'm seeing them everywhere lately!

5. A new dog tag for the dog:

{Photo Credit}

Having a blog, I sometimes get marketing emails from a variety of companies asking em to feature their products on my blog & this is one of the rare times I actually accepted because I'm really digging this product! It's a pet ID tag with GPS Notification Services by Pet Hub. I cannot tell you how many times my mom has had to put up signs for her lost cats (they are indoor/outdoor cats & wander off from time to time, which worries my mother sick!) & I always worry one day that our dog will get out or run out of the door & keep running. This tag provides peace of mind that both my mom & I will always be able to find our treasured fur babies. They run away, you can track them online or someone can scan the code on their tag with their smartphone & your information will come up! Such an awesome idea - and if you're intrigued, they have a Groupon running right now for a tag + a one-year subscription to their gold service for only $14. And...I may be offering a giveaway of one of the tags here on my blog soon - just trying to work out the deets!

And that's all I have for this week's WIWBW. 'Till next time!

What I wanna buy Wednesday - 01.18.12

Hi! This week has been crazy with work & what not as usual. I have soo many posts that I have planned & I just can never find the time in my day to get them up. Starting next week though, I am going to be in class for work for two weeks, so I'll {hopefully have more free time to blog}. :) Annnywho, here's this week's installment of WIWBW:

1. Tiny Toms

{Photo Credit}

I got a couple pairs of Toms courtesy of the hubbs & ever since I've been lusting over a pair for my mini me! Aren't they just freakin' adorbs?! I think I'm going to wait until she grows into the next size, then I'm definitely going to buy a pair for my little cutie!

2. Birth Stats Print:

{Photo Credit}

I'm in love all the cute birth stat prints I've seen lately. I was recently introduced to the birth stat prints from The Bear's Wares, which is actually a new company started by a mommy friend of mine (go check out her stuff whenever you get a chance). I'm totally gonna buy one of these cuties soon! I have no clue where I'll put it yet, but it's so cute...who could pass it up?!

3. A gym water bottle 

{Photo Credit}

I go to the gym for Zumba all the time & could really use something like this since I'm always running late or just on time for class to start. If I had a water bottle like this that held my gym ID, car keys, etc. it would be so convenient & I'd never have to worry about leaving anything behind.

4. New bedding:

{Photo Credit}

I love this bedding from West Elm & am gonna try to convince the hubbs that he should let me buy some new bedding for our master bedroom! I love the ruffly circles - I just have a thing about ruffles & can't get over how cute this set is! And it's on sale too. :)

5. Art frame for munchkin's masterpieces:

{Photo Credit}

Now that my big girl is in the young toddler room at school, she's always making pretty pictures & I think these would be great to have around to display her art! 

And that's all I got for this week's installment of WIWBW. 'Till next time!

What I wanna buy Wednesday - my Christmas wish list edition

Hiii! I can't believe how quickly time is flying until Christmas - two weeks from Sunday...eek! I still need to buy the hubb's gifts! But today I'm posting a special edition of WIWBW - my holiday gift wish list! So without further adieu, here goes...

1. A Cricut Expression:

{Photo Credit}

This is the crafty woman inside my body's dream gift! Can you imagine all the DIY wall art, banners, cards, etc., etc. I can make with this baby?! It's on my list & has been something I've wanted for a while now, so we'll see if Santa thinks I was a good girl this year!

2. Victoria's Secret PINK lounge pants:

{Photo Credit}

I bought a pair of these pants from VS last time they were on sale & they are one of my favorite pairs of lounge pants! They are seriously some of the comfiest pants I've ever worn & I looove them! If you don't have a pair, buy them & try 'em out...they are a bit pricey for lounge pants, but you won't regret it!

3. A nice GMU degree frame:

 

{Photo Credit}

This is super embarrassing mainly because I finished undergrad in 2005 & grad school in 2007 & yep, neither degree has ever been framed! Horrible, I know. I have been holding out for really nice frames, but every time I have the money, I buy something else, lol. Soooo, I still need two or one double frame.

4. A bookshelf for my office/craft space:

{Photo Credit}

I need this last piece of furniture to finish up my office/craft space makeover that I started a few months ago. I still have a little decorating of the area to do, but this would be the final piece of major furniture.

5. Create your own New Balance shoes:

 {Photo Credit}

There's a kiosk at our local mall to create your own version of New Balances & when I saw it, I thought it was SUPER cool! Such a great way to create a custom pair of shoes that likely no one else will have! I may even give the hubbs a gift certificate so that he can create his own pair for Christmas - something I definitely know he'll enjoy!

That's all I got tonight, I'm exhausted already & it's only Wednesday! 'Till next time!

What I wanna buy Wednesday - 09.21.11

Hi there everyone! I am deep in the trenches of the end of the Government fiscal year, sigh. I.am.so.ex.hausted. I hate this time of year, I end up working sooo much & I totally need a break in a big way. I'm thinking about taking all day on Monday off, taking A to daycare & going back to sleep until I catch up on all the sleep I've missed lately. I am soo happy that Friday is almost here (the true end of the FY is next Friday, but we have to finish all of our contract awards this year so that finance can obligate everything by next Friday)! But as soon as this cray cray is over, I'll be hard at work trying to get everything together for the munchkin's 1st birthday party!

Anywho, just thought I'd check in this week with another installment of WIWBW, woo! Online browsing & some buying is all that kept me slighlty sane this week. Is it sad that shopping makes me happy?! Not in a crazy, blow all my money sort of way, but in a fun way, hahaha. Anywho, here's what I want this Wednesday:

1. A personalized Halloween tub:

{photo credit}

I've been eyeing these tubs on Etsy for a while now - even had them pinned on my Fall Holidays pinboard on my Pinterest. Our previous Halloween candy bowl is a cheapo dollar store plastic bowl & it's fine, but I think it's time for an upgrade! So I finally bought one today on Etsy & I plan to use it for the big birthday par-tay & for Halloween! I can't wait to get it & see how it turns out!!

2. C&B Vine Pumpkins & Gourds:

{photo credit}

Gah I love the fall & decorating & everything fall! These are another thing I've been eying for a while & so this week, I decided to go ahead & buy a couple to decorate this fall! They'll be a perfect accent during the munchkin's little pumpkin themed birthday party! And on top of that, Crate & Barrel has them for an incredibly affordable price!

3. A Baby AJ puppy costume:

{photo credit}

Amaya loves her some "dog dog" as she so eloquently puts it. Seriously, it's the first thing she says in the morning when she wakes up! So I always call our dog up the stairs or in from the other room so she can see her dog dog first thing...then she lights up & giggles. Amazing how great of a mood he can put her in, lol. And sometimes, when she's playing on the floor, he'll come up & give her a little kiss & she just laughs & laughs! Anywho, so dog dog & duck are two of her favorite words - she knows what they are at first sight, so I decided to let her be a dog for Halloween this year. I didn't want to spend a fortune on her costume though & this one is super affordable! I love the little paws. :) And of course, since she's a girl dog dog, I'll be tying a cute bow around one {or both} of her floppy ears! 

4. These beautiful PB news text pillar candles:

{photo credit}

I peeped these cuties in Pottery Barn's fall catalog & I fell in love! They are just awesome. I think I might attempt to DIY them at some point soon & it that is a fail, well...I may just be spending {gulp} $30 on a candle. You think the hubbs will approve that purchase?!

5. Cheetah print flats:

{photo credit}

I hear animal print is all the rage this fall & it's one trend I'm happy to follow! I feel like these flats are so versatile - you could dress them up or down & they'd look fab! These are another item that have been on my Pinterest for awhile now - once I find a pair at a great price, I'll grab 'em. I generally have a rule for myself against buying full price anything. ::wink::

So that's what I wanna buy this Wednesday, how about you?! I'll be back soon with munchkin's 10-11 month updates, more deets on her party & of course, more to come on my office space makeover soon. 'Till next time!

What I wanna buy Wednesday - 08.17.11

Hi there friends!! Hope everyone's week is going awesome - mine is pretty good, just trying to get thru the next 1.5 months at work, then I'll {hopefully} have a lot more free time, which = more time to blog...he he. :) I am still hard at work trying to get one of my biggest projects more the office/craft space makeover done & am waiting on an order I placed on Etsy to reeeally finish it. Once it gets here, hopefully I'll be able to finish the project up & share it with y'all...in the mean time, I'm going to share some of my inspiration pics for the office/craft space makeover. Also, I will be posting Baby AJ's 10 month update, my top mommy must haves for 3-9 months, and finally, I wanna tell you guys about the big birthday bash we're planning for our little munchkin!!

Anywho, today I'm checking in with my latest installment of WIWBW! Here are the top 5 things I need wanna buy this week:

1. Fall clothes {for me}:

{photo credit}

{photo credit}

I've always loved the fall & everything about it - it's my favorite season!! One of the things I look forward to every year is seeing the new fall clothing trends! I love the comfy, stylish cardigans & sweaters, the dark wash denim & the muted colors fall brings! I can't wait to do some fall shopping - I need to clean out my closet first, lose about 5-10 lbs, then I'll be stocking up on some of the new fall items to supplement my {already pretty large} wardrobe. :)

P.S. - anyone who wants to get a deal on some great new fall looks, Gap is offering 25% off your entire purchase - TODAY ONLY - code: GAPGEM!

2. A new iPhone cover:

{photo credit}

I mentioned these cute iPhone covers sold by one of my favorite Etsy Shops, Pretty Smitten, in my chevron love post. Sigh. I really, REALLY want one, but I just can't bring myself to pay $55 for one...I mean, the phone itself was over $200! I follow the Pretty Smitten blog & last week, Elizabeth (the shop owner) hinted at the fact that there will be something coming up this week for those wanting an iPhone case (me, me, me!) - I hope it's a discount because I'll definitely jump all over that!

3. A couple long, white IKEA wall shelves:

{photo credit}

I'd seen these shelves in IKEA before, but fell in love with them once I saw them in John & Sherry's living/dining room on Young House Love. When I was re-doing our living room though, I went for three small, dark brown wall shelves. After living with those for a couple of years, I'm ready to make a switch again to the IKEA shelves & I'm trying to talk the hubbs into the idea - I think it'll brighten up the space & provide a nice spot for family photos/decorating pieces that I own & have no other place to display. I'd LOVE to have these installed before the munchkin's first birthday party on October 15th (more deets on the big day later), so we'll see if the hubby will relent. :)

And speaking of IKEA...

4. IKEA's Tullsta Armchair:

{photo credit}

I love the look of this chair & it would fit perfectly with the hubb's new furniture set in his mancave (pics coming soon). And have you seen the price?! $100 for a nice armchair & only $50 for extra covers if you'd like to change up the look - gotta love IKEA! We need to make a trip to our local one soon!

5. Fall clothes {for munchkin}:

{photo credits: sweater & outfit}

Y'all know I can't get enough of baby clothes! Sadly, my baby is about to be a toddler ::sniff, sniff::, but there is still an abundance of cute clothes for 12+ months! And her birthday is in the fall too, so maybe she'll get some cute outfits for her birthday?! Woo. The hubbs & I went to the outlets the weekend before last to grab a few things & I picked up some stuff for the munchkin, but there's definitely still more shopping to do!

So there you have it - my top 5 things I wanna buy this week. How about you?! What do you wanna buy today? 'Till next time!

What I wanna buy Wednesday - 07.27.11

Hiii everybody! How's your week been?! Mine's been okay. My little munchkin has recently decided that she wants to, once again, wake up multiple times a night randomly. Ugh. So, needless to say, I'm sleep deprived + it's busy season at my job, booo. But, this weekend I'm getting in a DIY state of mind because I am getting started on my next Project Makeover series, which I plan to announce sometime tomorrow (sorry for the delay!).

Anywho, checking in today with another installment of WIWBW, woot {it rhymes, tee hee ::wink::}. So, here are the top 5 things I'm lusting over this week:


1. RuffleButts Mania:

{photo credit}

ATTENTION moms of little girls: Zulily {full disclosure - that link is my referral link, if you sign up thru that link & when/if you ever buy something, I get a Zulily store credit...just wanted to put that out there ;) is having a huge sale on RuffleButts aka some the most adorable things I've ever seen for little girls! I bought Baby AJ the grape bloomers & matching swing top for her 12 month photo shoot - can't wait to get them, they are so stinkin' cute!!

2. A cute blue dress for Baby AJ:

{photo credit}

My little sister {19} is about to move on to greener pastures, lol. Well, she's moving to Savannah, Georgia actually & so my older sister {30} wants the whole family to get together for a group family picture - she's the sentimental type. The color they picked for everyone to coordinate with were lighter shades of blue. I went online to Baby Gap, one of my fave places for AJ's clothes & found this little number on sale for $18! So uhhhm yeah, totally getting it. Hopefully. If the hubbs "releases" the funds, hahaha. He's a crazed budget/spreadsheet person. :oP

3. A baby travel bed:

{photo credit}

One day while looking thru my latest One Step Ahead catalog, I came across this adorbs baby travel bed! I'm not a huge fan on pack & plays for sleeping, so I think this is an awesome solution. It has a cushy, inflatable mattress & travels easily because it can fold up into a carrying case that comes with it! The best thing is, after your little one grows out of it for sleeping, it can be used as a play tent later! Awesome. The Dennifers are heading on our first family vacation to Disney World in November, so I'd really love to get this before then!

4. A PBK Halloween Costume:

{photo credit}

FML. I love Pottery Barn & all their affiliates waaay too much for my pocketbook. These costumes are soooo cute & I totally want one for the little muchkin's 2nd, but really her 1st real Halloween. She was like 2 weeks old last Halloween, so I didn't dress her up, this year she's definitely getting a costume of some sort. Not sure I can persuade the hubbs to let me buy a $50 something PBK one, but maybe I'll find a cute knock off version?!

5. A sexy dress:

{photo credit}

We have some friends getting married in September & this will be our second time away from Baby AJ together, so I'm going to live it up! Part of my vow to live it up is dressing the part. I wanna look hot for my man (but still appropriate for the wedding), who's in the wedding. There will be lots of dancing & drinking that night, lol. Victoria's Secret has lots of really sexy dress right now, so I'll probably buy one from there next time I get a free shipping coupon. ;)

So that's my list for this week, what do you have on yours? 'Till next time!

What I wanna buy Wednesday - 07.06.11

Hola friends! So now that I finally got my workload partially reduced, it's our busy time at work. But, I am committed to blogging more regularly. I miss it & miss interacting with all my blog friends. So, I'm back in full effect. I even have a new project makeover series (kinda like I did with munchkin's nursery) coming up later this week or early next, so excited to tell y'all about it!! But, for now, I'm checking in with another installment of WIWBW, woot!

So here's what I wanna buy this week:

1. A cute, colorful, modern & funky lamp:

{photo credit}

I dunno if it's because it's summer or if it's just my love of aqua, turquoise, teal & all other colors close to those that family of colors, but I am lurving all the funky, colorful  table lamps I've been seeing lately. Love! And today I just happened to wander into good 'ol HomeGoods & found a little beaut that I couldn't resist - more on that lata because it's going to make an appearance in my new project makeover series!


2. PBK rolling luggage:

{photo credit}

In November the Dennifers are heading on our first *family* vaca & I want to get the munchkin her own little rolling suitcase. I'm sure she doesn't actually need it, but how freakin' cute, right?! We shall see if the hubbs will let me buy it, ha!

Uhhhmmm, side note - 

Dear PBK, please make luggage in your newest to-die-for pattern, "Chocolate Bird": 

 

 I REALLY L-O-V-E it & would like to get my little AJ some rolling luggage in that pattern please!

3. A lacy, vintage looking headband for Baby AJ:

{photo credit}

I plan waaay too far ahead,  but I already have munchkin's outfit for her 12 month photo shoot. It's one of those cute lace rompers - it's cream, got it on Baby Steals a little while back for a great price! Anyways, while perusing one of my favorite Etsy shops for headbands, I saw this little lovely, it'll go perfectly with her outfit! Hopefully it'll still be available once I get around to purchasing it. ;op

4. LON Low Rider Bookcase:

{photo credit}

I've been drooling over this bookcase ever since I saw it. It's such a perfect bookcase for a certain little wee one's nursery! She has this one from Target, but I'm kinda over it. The bottom cubby shelf that extends out has never stayed put despite what my hubby does to make it stay there. so hers only has the one cubby section. And besides that, this one from Land Of Nod is super duper cute with lots of storage space...something I predict we'll be needing more of in the near future!

5. A cute, whimsy throw pillow for my new project:

{photo credit}

Bahahaha, IDK why I'm being so tight lipped about my new project, I guess I just don't want to take away from my first post in the project makeover series...I want it to be good for you guys, lol. But anyways, this little darling would sure be a cute accent piece for my newest project! I may be making my way to Pier One this weekend. 

And that's my list for this week. Stay tuned for the intro on my newest project makeover series coming up soon + I promise to post some pics from my Jamaica trip too! My laptop charger died, so I had to get a new one before I could upload the pics, which we just got yesterday, so I promise...they're coming soon! 'Till next time!

What I wanna buy Wednesday - 06.01.11

Oh hai there blog friends! Once again, I must apologize for being sooo absent. work is so crazy right now, because {as I mentioned a little bit ago} I am doing a rotational assignment in addition to my normal workload in order to possibly get a promotion at the end of this year. This promotion would mean A LOT to the Dennifers. What with all our {ahem} added expenses (read: Baby AJ).


Annnywho, the summer is upon us here in Northern VA & IDK why, but it's kicked me back into a DIY'ing mood! I finally finished up my spring summer DIY wreath & I can't wait to show it off to all of you - likely later this week, I'll need to upload the pics first. Also, my munchkin is now 7 - YES SEVEN months old. Ugh, I can't believe it. Time flies way way too fast. More on her cuteness also coming up soon in her 6-7 month recap. I really need to get on the ball & start doing these monthly again, but the only time I have to blog is either at work, which right now, is not an option &/or at night when the munchkin falls asleep. But I am determined...I love blogging & I will get my mojo back! I know, I know, I keep saying it, but I really do try to get back on the ball & then time just escapes me.

Okay, so now back to the purpose of this post - my favorite weekly feature: "What I wanna buy Wednesday," woot. I have gotten a lot of good feedback on this feature, so I'm thinking of making it a weekly linky party. I'd love to see what all of my blog friends come up with & have you all link back here! WDYT? Would you do it? Who doesn't love fantasizing about the things we'd love to buy? In any event, here's my top 5 things I'd love to buy this week:

1. A large ottoman with storage space:

{photo credit}

A certain someone will be getting mobile here soon, as such, the Dennifers are in the process of assessing our baby proofing our casa de Dennifer so that our little munchkin doesn't hurt herself once she starts crawling 7 walking running all up & thru here. Our current coffee table from Target is nice, but is not exactly baby friendly. It has sharp edges & I'm not really into the look of those table edge thingys (although, we'll likely have to use these in a few other places regardless), so I suggested to the hubbs that we buy a nice {soft}, stylish yet functional ottoman to replace our coffee table. And, he actually agreed with me! We just missed the memorial day furniture sales, but maybe we'll be able to catch a 4th of July sale somewhere so we can pick up one of these babies!

2. A couple large storage baskets:

{photo credit}

Again, a certain someone has made it necessary that I purchase large baskets for toy & misc. storage so that my living room can avoid looking like a playroom! I have been searching online for nice looking & most of all, affordable baskets for our main level - LR/DR area & found these darlings at Crate & Barrel. I think I'll most likely put them under the entryway table that I have between the living & dining rooms. I might even get a smaller one to put under one of our side tables! I heart basket storage & you can't beat the price!

3. PBK Beach Wrap:

{photo credit}

Can you see a theme?! Most of the stuff I wanna buy has something to do with my little munchkin! PBK actually just had a sale on these wraps that I missed out on, but I think their beach wraps are totally cute. I think I'll wait to see if they have an end of season sale on these & maybe grab one up then. We are going on our first family vacation to Orlando in November, so this would be perfect for that. Also, someone is a big time water baby & loves the pool:

 :) 

Buuuut, if they don't go on sale again, I doubt I'll buy one. I can't bring myself to spend over $30 (after S&H) on a towel! Very cute though. :)

4. Waterproof Labels for Baby AJ Stuff:

{photo credit}

Sigh. My little munchkin will be entering the world of daycare here soon (more on that later), so I'm trying to stock up on everything we'll need to send along with her everyday. Could I buy a label maker & make plain labels? Sure, but what's the fun in that?! I LOVE Cherry Hill Designs cute labels & they have such a huge assortment to choose from & best of all, they are very affordable! Oh & one more great thing about these labels - they are waterproof, so you can easily wash whatever you stick these on without worrying the label will come off in the dish or clothes washing machine!

5. Victoria's Secret PINK lounge pants:

{photo credit}

I always make sure to stock up during the Victoria's Secret semi-annual sale, which is going on NOW - go check it out!! Well, in my most recent VS shopping splurge, I decided to try out a pair of these lounge pants & I am totally in lurve with them. They are comfy & lightweight, but still stylish enough to wear out of the house if I need to, woo. The perfect lounge pants. These babies get 2 thumbs up from me & I'd love to grab another pair!

So that's WIWB this week, how about you?! (Don't forget to let me know if you'd be interested in a weekly link party to this feature, I'd love to hear your feedback!) 'Till next time!

What I wanna buy Wednesday - 04.13.2011

Hey everyone! Sorry I've been MIA - life has been SO busy lately. Mainly work. I'm in the running to get a promotion at the end of the year, so I'm taking on new work/responsibilities & what not to "prove" myself. Man, it would be nice to get this promotion - please send positive thoughts & prayers for me to get this job. I have already decided to myself that I will really be okay if I don't get it, but it would be great for us...& it would speed up the upgrading to a bigger home process for us. Munchkin has also been keeping me busy as always, but I have started on my spring crafts & I plan to about my spring/summer wreath with a tutorial very soon. :)

And now...time for WIWBW. I haven't had much time to think about this list since I've been soooo busy, but here are my top 5 off the top of my head:

1. Granite Countertops:

{photo credit}

We had plans to re-do our kitchen this spring & get or re-paint the whole house (minus the bedrooms) this year, but with the baby, I don't think we are going to get around to really re-doing the kitchen. I'm hoping though that we can swing the new counters (& a new sink) this year & do the rest maybe next year.

2. PBK Silver Bird Set:

 {photo credit}

I saw these two cuties while browsing my latest PBK catalog. Sigh. Why oh why does PB & PBK do this to me? What, you ask. Make me want every.thing in their catalog!! As you may remember, I have a *teeny* birdie decor obsession & the price for both is awesome! Once I finally go get my bookcase for my office/craft area, you'll probably see these two cuties make an appearance on it. :)

3. PBK Cottage House Bookshelf:

{photo credit}

Again, ::dies:: I love PBK soooo much! If this would fit in AJ's room, it would have been purchased long ago. It is literally, the CUTEST bookshelf I have ever seen & not only that...for a kids room, it's so functional too! Look at all that storage space on the bottom! I can't wait until we get a bigger house, with a playroom for Amaya because I am going to make sure it is totally cute with functional, but still attractive storage solutions. Love you PB & PBK, haha.

4. A few cute summer dresses:

{photo credit}

Did I tell yall? I'm going on a girls trip to Jamaica in June, woooo! 2 months baby!! I am SO excited to lounge on the beach, drink & eat all day & get pampered at the spa. We are going for 3 nights, 4 days & I cannot wait! I know I'm gonna miss my little mama so much, but she'll be in good hands with her auntie & daddy & mama will get some much need R&R. In any event, I want to buy some cute summery dresses to wear for my trip. I have seen a bunch {like the one pictured above} on Victoria's Secret, but $50 is the average price for their dresses, which is a little expensive to me. So, leave it to good 'ol trusty Target {or Tar-ghe for the sophisticated bunch)...they have a bunch of cute dresses too for about $20 each.

5. A few power suits:

As I mentioned above, I'm trying to get a pretty big promotion at the end of this year, so I'm trying to start wearing more suits to work. I really had no suits up until last weekend. I had a standard black blazer that I could wear if I were going to an interview or important meeting, but no full suits. But, I'm slowly trying to change that. Last weekend, i found & bought a FULL SUIT for $50 @ JCP!! Can you believe that deal? I was amazed, but I quickly bought it. Victoria's secret also has cute suits for great prices, but the only problem there is I'd have to buy it offline & I'd really prefer trying stuff like that on before buying it. Anyways, I'm going to slowly be adding to my suit collection.

And that's all I got this week. I'll be back soon to post some new {cute} Baby AJ pics/updates & my spring wreath. :) 'Till next time!
