Cali- Baby...!

Um, let's see....Where do I begin?

Spring Break this year was a little later (for the kids) than usual! We had time to discuss options, developed plans, and California made the final cut! We toured museums, walked, toured "hollywood" homes, walked, rode bikes, walked, went to the beach, walked, shopped, walked, feasted on great food, and WALKED!
There was lots to be seen, and we saw ALL lots of it. 

If you know my kids, then you know very few things excite them, but they had a BLAST!!! So, so many new experiences and visuals for them, they even asked if we could move there, hmmmmm :) 

First stop, San-Diegoooooh

@ the Navy Pier... Detailed statues of the fallen soldiers...

Lunch at The Fish Market... (by far my fave pic of the 500 taken)

Outfit was comfy. I'll def wear heels w/ these pants next time :) 

Can you tell they are 5 years apart?  eeeek! 

She was SO fierce and regal! Hubby and I inferred that she was the owner of F21, ha! 

These beautiful trees were everywhere..! (no, they are not cherry blossoms) 

When in Rome....
Jada was so embarrassed she RAN off, lol!!!!

His first time seeing "real graffiti" in person now he's obsessed, these suburban kids I tell ya!

Laters Baby......

Oh Dylan...!

As I browsed the store (H&M) on that particular day, I spyed it from across the room! My heart skipped a beat as I hurried to the rack where it hang looking fresh, crisp, and sentimental. Even though it was in the men's section, I KNEW I HAD to have it, my Dylan tee :)

I LOVEEEE the name Dylan ; after all, it is the name of the coolest kid in the world, my son!

Really didn't put much thought into this fit, just threw it on to grab lunch on the sunny patio.....
Oh,  I finally accomplished a pretty decent twist-out on my hair, go me!

BOB DYLAN......

My Song of the Summer...!

Ok, we ALL have a favorite summer song! You know that song that makes you wanna attend a patio BBQ or dress up, go out on the town , and dance to the beattttt, um, um, um....... !  I have a few classics like Will Smith's Summertime and Crazy in Love by Bey, but I've ALREADY picked out my JAM for this Summer yes, I know we are only two days into the Spring.  This song is grown & sexy yet fun & energetic with a little ole' school feel all at the Same. Damn. Time.....  Woooh!

A throwback...    Summer, I'm ready for you!

Well, Well, Well....!

 Look who decided to pop back up on the blog scene....SMH...Apologies for those who care :)
My lack of posts have come from my lack of getting dressed in stylish-fits. I swear I live in Nike, Adidas, Puma, etc these days and I'm obsessed with the gym lately. Oh, speaking of, I completed my first 5k a few weeks ago and have signed up for 2 more like a fool !!!!!! I ordered a few action shots that were taken by photographers at the race, I'll post once I receive.

Anyway, my sister and family are in town for their Spring Break and the weather has been PERFECT!!! I can feel SPRANG in the air..........

I love when higher-end designers collaborate with more affordable stores like Prabal Gurung for Target.
I was lucky enough to snatch a few cute pieces before they sold out like this coral tank, love it! 

Just added Chucks, leggings, and this cute *sparkly* jacket I bought over the holidays...

Don't ask..... Hubby caught this one! 

My 'Sweet As Honey" niece,  LollyMae wearing a HoneyPies cami;
Great shot by JadaMay....

Applying more RED.....

Like my faux bangs? ha!

Another collaboration, Nieman Marcus for Target...Marc Jacobs Clutch

Yes I am aware these ratchet  bathroom-selfies must be stopped, but not now....I LOVE IT :)
Jada, Moi, Kobra, Lolly

Saturday Night :) 

The Super "B"...!

 Ok, (Read this as if it were posted on yesterday, Sunday, as I'd planned ). By this time next week we'll all be getting ready for the Super Bowl!! Some of us'll be watching to see the Baltimore Ravens & San Francisco 49ers go head to head on 100 yards of New Orleans tuff turf, some of us'll be gathering to consume lots of unnecessary-guilty calories, and some of us'll be watching just to see "B"!!!. Yes. King Bey is back and I'm ready to see her ROCK. THE. ROOF. off the dome!!!!!!!!!!! Let's face it, it's gonna be a Super Bey Partaaay.....*throws glitter confetti and butterfly*

So, what to wear to a Super "Bey" Bowl  party eh?

None of these teams are playing on Sunday, but I'd wear one strictly for friendly banter.....

A Hot Pink NYE....!

HAPPY NEW YEAR...!! I hope you all had a fun, safe, New Years Eve.....
A New Year brings forth new beginnings, resolutions, and fresh starts. It's sort of life's way of saying, put the past behind and welcome a brighter future. I prefer to set goals over resolutions, but DO YOU..... : )

Celebrated with a few of my heartbeats last night.......
