Easter Cheer

I'm back from a fun weekend! My Dad and I were supposed to race in Georgia this weekend but the weather has been a little crazy and we got rained out.  The good news in that is we had a no soccer, no racing weekend, which is rare.
We grabbed the twins Saturday night and went to hibachi dinner, after-dinner fro yo and got them off to sleep with some popcorn and a movie.  Simon and I were woken up at 7:30 Sunday morning with the two girls squealing that they found their baskets.  We celebrated Easter at my sister Holly's for family lunch.
I can't wait to hear about your weekend adventures!

What I thought about what I bought

What I thought about what I bought




1. Michael Kors heels: These are GREAT.  Really.  I first bought the black and went back for the snakeskin.  The are really comfy all day long.  The heel is a little lower than I realized when I ordered them but the comfort you get wearing them is worth it.  For me, they are best with ankle length pants or dresses and skirts since my pants are tailored for a higher heel.

2. Tazo Passion Fruit Tea:  This is great hot or cold.  I love hot tea and was craving something a little lighter as we get into spring.  I drank enough chai and cocoa through the cool months.

3.  Ann Taylor Loft Julie Skinny pants:  These new pants are so cute.  I don't have the body for super skinny and I don't like bootleg so these are a good alternative.  I put these on to show my husband but he thought they were a little too sexy for work.  I was so bummed.  I knew they were fitted but I thought they looked so good. I have decided to take his advice for now and save them for a day when I have an after-work cocktail hour to attend.

4.  C.Wonder iPhone 5s battery extender:  Another great buy.  I got this during one of their 50% off sales and it is great.  My husband just asked me to order him one too.  I don't plan to use this everyday but on those occasions I will be away from my charger for an extended period of time (think weekend adventures) it will be perfect.  I just used it during Spring Break and it took my phone from 20% to 85%.

5.  C.Wonder sweater:  I didn't love this.  I liked the idea of the built-in, removable collar but it needs a little more structure.  It also got pilled easily.  Maybe during cooler months when you can layer up a tank or cami, this would work.  I thought it would be a good spring transition but it's too warm to layer, here in Florida.  Although this brand has a lot of looks I love, I probably wouldn't buy this sweater again.

What have been your recent purchases?  What are your favorite brands?
