Happy New Year!

It's  been a while since I've blogged --  I have my reasons why I wasn't able to post, but first and foremost I want to let you guys know how much I appreciate the love and support while I was away, and the ever-flowing e-mails from you all.  I cannot tell you how excited I am to reconnect with you all!  Before I move forward, let me wish you all a very Happy New Year!  I wish every one of you all the BEST of everything in 2013!!

I feel like it was just yesterday being pregnant with my boy and preparing for his arrival.  I am remembering having lots of fun with fashion while my belly was growing.  I wore mostly Old Navy and Gap maternity clothes, and also I wore a lot of non-maternity stuff that was flowy and a few sizer bigger than my normal size. 

We took a "babymoon" in Curaçao and had the most amazing time there.  We hung out near the beach, explored Willemstad and had fun shopping at the markets.

I was so nervous when I was in the operating room watching my son being delivered via c-secion, but at the same token, it was the most incredible feeling in the world when I held him for the first time in my arms.  Adam had lips stained with cherries and a head full of hair.  Here's something you didn't know--we almost named our son Parker, and if we had, this blog would be Parker ❤ Alex... (^_^)  

 

Thanks for reading.  Today my family's off to Boston to celebrate my son's birthday--wishing you all a lovely weekend!

The Dog Days of Summer is almost behind us, and I'm really excited about Fall.  I love layering and wearing boots and booties.  Fall is such a fun season to experiment and have fun with fashion.  Right now, "booties, booties, booties" are on my mind because it's perfect for transitional weather, and it adds an instant chic to your outfit.  I love booties with dresses especially, and Jamison in pink and the Jamala in cognac are my top picks.   Dolce Vita is fast becoming one of my favorite designers--from shoes to apparel, I am really loving their designs lately. Which Dolce Vita bootie is tickling your fancy?
