Lilac weekend

Today I went to manicure inspired by blues...

but I had to pass it for the lilac J.

Do you lilac it or not lilac it?

Strong and brighter purple in real life.

Very pretty.

Don't you agree?

Are you shopping nail polish?

 Hope everyone have a wonderful weekend!

Sunny day...Vacation...A big pool 3 blocks away from our house...

Here what I'm wearing today:

Life is good tote bag

J Crew - cotton balcony dress

Boden hat &  Diesel one-piece bathing suit

I bought this dress at a jcrew.com last summer and I fell in love so much that I had to have all colors ☺. Do you have any favorite jcrew dress that you bought in duplicate? 

Have a good Thursday!

Slouchy Pants IRL

Last Sunday we had another Kid's birthday party.

Here I go with my Silky Linen slouchy pants.

Here how I wore it:

Puma Simplice in Pale Gold

You can dress it up and down s easily, and I really like versatile clothes!

Love the fabric and how it feels. It's very comfy and it's not too shiny at appears on the picture.

SLouchy pants with my Ballet flats by Arezzo in Dark Gold kind of Bronze :-)

Wore it with my waist folded.

Latter I'll show you the difference if unfolded. 

Sorry that the pictures show two different shoes. I was trying my slip-on Pumas in Gold and I forgot to change it before take a picture. 

I think it looks ok though with the Puma flats...

What do you think?

Anyone have these slouchy pants in more than one color?

Have a great Wednesday!

Watercolor Lily

Here is what I wore last Friday.
Just to be around and about with my boys + baseball game.

IRL:


I fell in love with this print.

The short is adorable and goes with almost everything I have in my wardrobe!

Just Lovely!

It says, "dry clean", but since I got it I have been washed it several times (lay flat to dry) and still looks as cute as new J.

I took the cardigan with me, but I wore it only for the picture.

The cardi was not necessary, and I think it looks good in general.

I'll love to know your thoughts. 

Anyone own any item in this print?

Happy Monday everyone!

Outfit in real life - July 22, 2010 in Central Park

I'm always behind the camera, and I forget about Polyvore most the time:-(
So these pictures I took before I steped out of the door:-)

I wore my Ruffled Carly Dress to go to a Kid's birthday party at Central Park last Saturday. 
My choice for the flat sandals was made base on the weather and because unfortunately the cute oxford I bought from UO didn’t work for me L ( size 8 is too big and 7.5 too small) L.
You can find the all outfit here.

I had to size it down to 6. It fits me in the same comfy way in the bust area as size 8, but it is shorter.
I'm so happy that I decided to exchange the Light Amethyst color (from last Season, that I was so crazy about it) for the new Navy color.

You know, when any clothes has "navy blue"  in the palette of color choices, it makes my life harder though.

I love almost everything in NAVY BLUE in the same proportion when we are talking about white!

I ust want to send a special "Thanks" to Kathy - Two Hands Full of Daisies that helped me on my dilemma with the colors J.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Do you think they have fun here or what?

Central Park


Beautiful view!
 "New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made of 
There’s nothing you can’t do
Now you’re in New York New York...."

My delicious little boy took a picture of DH so it coordinates with me!

Have any of you own the Carly ruffle dress?

Any color obsessions?

Have you all a wonderful weekend!!!

Jcrew - EXTRA 40% OFF FINAL SALE - In store.

My DH took the day off yesterday and we decided to go to the beach. YAY!

We had a great time and the weather was perfect, sunny but not “burning” because of the wind.

After all good stuff, we stopped at one of my favorite Mall that is locate right "in my way” to the Point Lookout- Long Island beach.
How convenient is that?

 


It's very common for us to stop there in our way back home to eat, and as usual, I need to get into my fave store J.Crew, to check the new arrivals and the old goodies!

We can now shop Crewcuts too! - God helps me!!!

The sale section was little, most tees and a couple shorts, but the extra final sale discount was a sweet surprise: 

**40% off**

WOW! I’ve not memory of Jcrew giving such a good discount on final sale.
I have being told last time in store that it was the last day of the 30% off (something around 10 days ago), and the Cashier told me they started 40% off discount last week.

Hey, I don’t mind. I just wish they had some of the items I’m still looking for…:-(.

To be honest, I was planning just to “look” around, but I couldn’t resist such good prices and I did try on some sale items.

I was not able to take any pictures because I had my 3 boys with me and I cannot push too much…:-).

And this is what I found:

Linen gazebo trouser 

"Chic, slouchy linen with a subtle herringbone weave in our favorite-fit trouser silhouette (the name says it all). With its cuffed leg, it's definitely dress-up appropriate but equally at home with a pair of sneakers." 

 Zip fly. Off-seam pockets, coin pocket, back flap pockets with button closure. Cuffed. Import. Dry clean. Catalog/jcrew.com only.
Favorite fit—our most universal fit with a medium rise.
Sits below waist.
Fitted through hip and thigh, with an easy trouser leg.
36" inseam."

This pants is the best fitting and the most comfortable of all linens pants I own from Jcrew.
So, this beautiful Gazebo pants in color Graphite/ dark grey, which was on sale for $39.99 + 40% off ended up coming home with me.
I'm so happy and excited to wear it as soon as I can have the length fixed, of course:-).

Have any of you visited any of your local J.Crew store this week yet? Did any of you own the same Gazebo pants and have some outfit ideas to share? I’ll love to know!

Have a great Thursday!

Canterbury bells cardigan + Gilded jacquard pencil skirt

Canterbury bells cardigan

"A sweet-yet-sultry V-neck sweater made of a slinkier silk/linen blend in a watercolor-inspired floral print, it's perfect layered with anything from shorts and skirts to sundresses and more (remember: Don't be afraid to mix patterns)."A sweet-yet-sultry V-neck sweater made of a slinkier silk/linen blend in a watercolor-inspired floral print, it's perfect layered with anything from shorts and skirts to sundresses and more (remember: Don't be afraid to mix patterns)."

I didn't give much for this cardigan when I first saw it on the web. When a month ago I went to JCrew store in the city I saw someone wearing it. That was it, I was  head of heels.Of course it was sold out by the time, so I started to look for it on the web every morning (even the CS says they update the website inventory every hour, I notice that the best time to find pop-backs is very early morning), but I didn’t have found any small for me ☹.
About 2 weeks ago I when to my local Jcrew store (this store is pretty big and always have a huge sale section with a lot of potential goodies) and so I found the last one hanging forgotten, not in abyss blue color (navy), but I was able to request it by the red phone with the 30% off final sale in-store. They didn't find it on the first time and I did it again with the CS after midnight right next day and they found it in the following morning - as I said, sunset is the best time to find what you want! ☺
LOVETH!

 Gilded jacquard pencil skirt

"Our leg-lengthening pencil skirt, now in a slightly shorter 21" length for summer. Made of luxe silk jacquard (that's where it gets its sheen) in a luminous citrus cast, it's the perfect reason to RSVP "yes" to this season's dressier occasions."

This skirt is beautiful!
Great "pop-back" item found for $19.99!
The skirt is more fitted on the waist area (maybe because I don't have waist at all) and "slightly shorter" - sadly this detail is not for me as you can see on the picture - but how could it be different if I'm only 5'0" high - LOL.
In general, I really like the skirt and after I have the length fixed, it will look much better on some outfits that you can find here, here, here, or here.
Have you found any “pop-back” items on the web today?

Hope you all have a great day!
