my weekend in photos

{Happy} Monday! I can't believe how fast the weekend goes by sometimes. It feels like yesterday was just Friday. My weekend was fun-filled and eventful, which I love. The countdown to Friday begins again...

fashion forward friday

I won a giveaway several months ago on Sarah's blog, Lipstick & Ruffles. This is one of my favorite fashion blogs to read. Well, I had won a $50 gift card to La Posh Style and I finally was able to get around to using it. They have some of the cutest things and I really wish I could buy everything! Here are the two items I finally decided on...

I had been eyeing the dress for a while now, but it had been sold out for the longest time. Luckily, I checked tonight and they had my size. So excited to get it! 

fashion forward friday

I went shopping with my sister a few weeks ago and stopped by a store called Yes Style at the mall. She has always shopped on their online shop, but I'd never really checked them out until I went to their store. I was in love! Everything is super cute and reasonably priced for my mommy budget. I bought two tops for less than $40!

gotta love fashion

Gwen Stefani is one of my favorite fashion icons. She already has two fashion lines out called L.A.M.B and Harajuku Lovers, which both consist of women's clothing, accessories, and perfume. Her creative sense of style has always been amazing to me. Not to mention, her handsome little boys are always dressed just as fashionably as her and are known as some of the best-dressed celebrity kids in Hollywood.

You can imagine how excited I was to find out that she will be collaborating with Target on a budget-friendly line of clothing and accessories for babies and kids. The fashion line, which will be called Harajuku Mini, will hit Target stores in November of this year and online stores in January of next year. The best part- it will be all be priced at less than $29.99! What mommy doesn't love good affordable fashion? I'm already counting down the days...

happy 4th of july!

Happy 4th of July! I love three-day holiday weekends. Three days of fun, food, and family time. They say all good things come in three's...


Three dishes devoured at The Boiling Crab:
1. dungeness crab - non-spicy, the whole sha-bang
2. one pound of shrimp - also non-spicy, the whole sha-bang
3. chicken tenders (for baby boy)

Three awesome deals I found while shopping:
1. black halter top from Forever 21 - $4.50
2. beach bag from H&M - $7
3. blue and white striped tube top from H&M - $5.95


Three flights of escalator riding with my son.

Three little cousins bonding together.

Three general admission tickets to Transformers 3.

Three pieces of yummy BBQ spare ribs and three of my cousin's oreo cupcakes!

As my son would say, "Happy July!" (still working on the "fourth of" part)

summer gear

It was 8 pm last night and as I was folding our laundry, I noticed a lot of my son's shirts that were getting too small for him. He's almost 2 1/2 and some of them were 24 months-2T. Why was I keeping these around?? He grows so fast!


So I said to my boyfriend "Dylan's going to need more summer clothes soon!" With the nearest mall being only 5 minutes away, we decided to go right then and there. I love shopping for new clothes for my son and if you know me, I'm a bargain shopper. I hardly ever spend more than $20 on one item of clothing for him. Kids grow out of their clothes so fast so why spend a lot of money on something they're only going to wear 6 months to a year?


I usually shop at Target, Crazy 8, Gymboree and H&M. We went to the mall and instantly walked into The Children's Place. I haven't shopped there for him yet, but he's gotten a lot of really cute stuff from there as gifts. I was so happy we decided to go there! They had a lot of summer clothes on sale; muscle tees, polos, shorts, tees, sandals and swim wear for less than $10 or less. We ended up getting 10 tops, 2 shorts, and one pair of sandals for less than $100. What a bargain! I will definitely be shopping there again...


These are the sandals we got him. I love them! They look like Crocs, but I think these ones are cuter. ($6 at the store)
