What to Wear On your Next Play Date: Mommy Street Style

rugby shirt dress // canvas cooler tote // round frame glasses sunglasses
african beads necklace // ballet flat

I'm one of those moms who tries to look her best (i dont mean a prom gown) even on the play ground (I feel you judging me). I take all meetings with Sesame Street on in the background (that's what mute is for) or with a toddler on my lap (even in person). Its what I've always wished for. But when you are talking to toddlers all day it helps (my self esteem) to put on some blush and cute shoes. 

I actually have this dress from my favorite boutique (tar jay) and its super versatile. Its getting pretty hot here so I just shove the sleeves up. I also linked to Target Sunglasses because thats where I always cop mine. Until little people can stop chewing and throwing them, these are in my price range. Plus they are super cute:-) 

Someone PLEASE GIFT ME THIS BAG!! It is big enough for all of the madness that I need to have with me at all times (change of clothes, inhalers, graham crackers...) has a cooler on the bottom which I will most definately need for milk and sippy cups and bloody mary's!! 

Always the messy bun (with bangs) cause its easy and makes me feel like the ballerina I should have been.

Do you like to look cute on the playground or is it just me? Its okay, I wont tell anyone.

Bunnie.

The Perfect Ballet Flat

dress

NO COMPROMISE ON FASHION

I'm on the hunt to find the perfect ballet flats. I must admit I could live and die in them. In my old age (and being forced to carry another person around quite regularly) I prefer to be low to the ground. Long gone or the days of sashaying to brunch in super sexy platforms (I save those for date nights and special occasions - sad but true).. So the goal for me is to find cute AND comfortable, which isn't always the easiest task.

What Do You Want for Mothers Day {NO SHAME} ??

Pushing our WiFi to the brink tonight running all laptops and iPads while playing Words With Friends on the phones. What in the world would we do without all of these gadgets??

Speaking of which - Ahem. Mothers Day. Just around the bend. Oddly, I'm not that into gadety things. As long as I can use it to watch my favorite show, listen to music, and take some good pictures of the munchkins - I'm all over it.

But I digress... I used to use the blog (back in my Pearls and Khakis days) to send subliminal images to H's about what gifts he should be considering for any upcoming holidays or special occasions.

Thinking I'll give that a try again. Or I'll just try the direct approach:

SIMILAR Earrings/ Leather Shoes /Handbag / Bracelet/ Engraved Necklace / Cat Eye Sunglasses/ Stationery

As for gadget overload, dont worry...We will shut it all down in time to snuggle up and watch the latest episode of Scandal.

What shows do you like to snuggle up and watch with your hubby/boyfriend/boo thang?

xx,
Bunnie

P.S.   H - Some good chocolate and a JCrew Gift Card is also acceptable:-)

2013 Beach/Spring Break Getaway {Must Haves}

{Shoes/Beach Cover Up/ Tote/ Lip Balm/ Moisturizer/ Reading/ Snack (healthier version:-)}

Finally booked our summer beach vacay and I've already got my (virtual) bags packed!!

Necessities: cute sandals, a breezy cover up and something that smells yummy to lather (and luxuriate) daily.

Additionally, one of our Sunday rituals includes watching "You've Got Mail" (Starring the lovely Meg Ryan and dashing Tom Hanks - as we eat H's yummy pancakes before heading to the church house). She mentions that she reads Pride and Prejudice every year. And I decided that might not be a bad idea especially since I've been going through some Downton Abbey withdrawals.

Oh and a healthy (yet tasty) snack. No sense in ruining all the chub I plan to lose over the next few months can I please have a cup cake because this is for the birds... Those look healthy right? :-)

Have you made Spring Break/Summer plans already? Anything you'd add to this list?

xx,

Bunnie

Playground Polished - Mommy Style

I must admit, I do make a special effort to look like a real grown up most days even if I'm just going to be on the playground with my munchkin that day. Mainly because these days, I'm not so impressed with whats going on underneath my clothes (6 month old and 15 pounds to go). I must admit i do have some what of a uniform. It takes the guess work (and ironing)out. In case you care.. 

Here is my magical equation:

Most of these things serve at least a dual purpose.  See details below:

1. For flair. Short Trench jacket (Coach)
2. For comfort, no ironing, does not show drool/milk. 
    Dark long sleeve t shirt (Jcrew)
3. Camouflages lack of sleep.
   Dark Over-sized Sunglasses/ House of Harlow 1960
4. Self explanatory - Messy Bun 
5. No muffin top. high waisted skinny jeans (Citizens of Humanity)
6. Cute and comfy.ballerina shoes (Tory Burch) 
7. Because I'm a bag snob. crossbody bag (Marc by Marc Jacobs) 
8. Yes please. Cashmere Cotton Blend Scarf (Banana Republic)

This collection will take you through the fall and most of winter here in the South. I do not own these actual items although I wish I did. Hopefully my husband will read this post in its entirety as Christmas is around the corner (insert Puss in Boots eyes)...
