My brain is fried from work, so I couldn’t think of what to title this post. I figure not having a title isn’t the end of the world, and it’s one less thing to stress about… Picking my battles haha.
Big thank you to my mom for taking these pictures of us, so we could have a break from the self timer and tripod 🙂 
On me…
I love this color of leather, but the name kind of makes me want to hurl…
The upside to a tripod and self timer=convenient/control (um, for those that know me…). The downside? I chop heads off at times… and get neighbors taking their garbage out. Still using this pic, because I love it 🙂 
On me…
Maya is usually pretty good about letting me dress her (SO hope that lasts a while longer!!), but every once and a while she is adamant about wearing something. Usually, it’s a pair of boots, but today….it was wings 🙂
But I’ll start with the pics I got while she was napping 😉
“Fly, fly, fly…” For those of you that follow us on Instagram, you saw this as a video 🙂 
Yes, she wanted me to wear wings too 🙂 
On me…
It was my friend’s birthday the other night, so we went to someplace special. He’s a total foodie, so we let him pick the spot. When I looked at the menu, I knew I needed a top that had “room to grow” haha. That is one of the things I love so much about “boho” tops. They are loose and flow so you can’t see the “after food and wine belly” 🙂
I love stacking jewelry. Even before it was the thing to do. Mainly because I’m too lazy to take anything off and rotate, so I just keep everything on haha. This time I mixed $4 bangles from H&M with…a not $4 bracelet 🙂 
And because it was a “going out” night, I didn’t get mixed pics of me and Maya, but I took these a few weeks ago and never blogged them. I have a small obsession with Osh Kosh overalls. Call it a generational thing 🙂
On me…
I have this exact jacket it a bright orange (worn last here), and I love it! I get compliments every time I wear it, and even let a senior wear it for her senior portraits. When I saw it on eBay a while back in green (my favorite color), I sooooo wanted it!! I let it go (did I really need another leather jacket???!) Then, I saw it again a few weeks ago at a screaming deal (aka FATE haha), so I snatched it up! I have a few Doma Leather jackets. Obviously, the quality is amazing, but they also all have such unique details to them. I love that!!
Scored these suede booties at a thrift store last week for $7!! They are super comfy too! 
On me…
Do you ever have a trend/article of clothing that you really want to work, but for some reason you can’t make it? Well, that’s how I feel about my faux leather leggings. I feel weird even typing that out. Am I too old for faux leather leggings? Say no!!! 😦 Alas…I might be.
I didn’t even blog the first attempt, it was so bad, albeit COMFORTABLE. At first I blamed it on the sweater. I keep trying THAT too, and don’t like the deep V! Grrr, two wrongs obviously don’t make a right! Anywho, I realized I shouldn’t hide my “misses”. So, here it is-first attempt. 
Did I mention how comfortable they are? So…I tried them again. This time I chose a different sweater…. Not 100% sold on this outfit either, but I do like it better than the first try.
Seriously, it’s comedic how much Maya loves the self timer sometimes. 
Love this tunic from the Gap (old :() 
So, what are your thoughts on faux leather leggings? Should I try them again??
On me-Strike one…
Shoes- Converse (similar)
On Maya…
Shoes- Pink Glitter Converse (sold out 
) plain ones here.
It was so nice to get away, but I could not wait to get home and see the Peanut! Since I was gone all weekend, I hadn’t done any shoots, which meant I didn’t have to work as much this week and had more time to snuggle Maya-double win!!!
For these first two, she’s of course finishing off her lunch in her wagon 🙂
I think she may have forgotten how fun the self timer was… 
So, of course I had to remind her 🙂 
On me…
So for our first date night on our getaway, I wore my new suede pants. The 2nd night it was a faux leather! I love this faux leather top from ASTR. I’ve been dying to wear it, but it’s been too cold in Seattle. Perfect for a sunny California getaway 🙂
Such fun details… 
Then, not to leave Maya out… I took these a little while ago on a “sweats day” haha. She’s obsessed with these snowboots! And…her duck 🙂
On me…
So, weekend getaways mean a lot of things. Relaxation (i.e.-no cooking, no cleaning, no WORKING!!). They also usually mean-date nights! I get to wear things I’ve been saving for a special occasion. This time? SUEDE PANTS! I had so many doubts about these. Mainly, am I too old to wear suede pants?? Well, I figured vacation was the perfect place to try them out, and I LOVE them! I’m just going to pretend that 39 really is the new 29 and 29 is totally acceptable for suede pants haha 😉
Oh, and by the time we had gotten ready for dinner, it was dark outside. So…classy hallway shots it was :{.
These next pics I took of Maya were from yesterday. A day where I stayed unshowered and in my workout clothes til about 5-which means total darkness now… Hey, it happens 🙂
My favorite thing to say is “Maya, can I have a hug?” And she runs crazy into my arms. LOVE IT! 🙂 
On me…
The Huz and I were SO lucky to get away for a few days this past weekend. My parents watched Maya, and we flew down to Southern California for some sun (what is that?!) and relaxation (again…what is that??!)
It was SO nice to feel the sun on our faces and walk barefoot in the sand…
I was kind of obsessed with these funny little birds… 
Until….DOLPHINS!!! They were SO close!! 
Then, not to leave her out! I took these of Maya the morning we left for an Instagram daily challenge that was “Scarves and Boots”. I mean, I couldn’t NOT do that one!!
