Brush with fame...I'll Be...excited to meet you!!

M&M and Edwin McCain. There were many, MANY discussions about our outfits....

Hard Candy Crush on Amethyst: Summer Nails

I've never bought the Hard Candy brand and saw this really cool sparkly purple at Target. Loving the coverage and the price of about $4!! Definitely thinking of trying a few other colors!

Triumphant on Mother's Day

My son wanted a Nerf gun fight with the family on Mother's Day. Our family complied and I think I won!

I'm mixing up peach and pink here, with orange shoes. The ribbon in my hair is from a gift from my oldest son. A nice way to celebrate, a game with all the family.

Have Blanket Will Travel

I used to travel a lot for work. Seems like a life time ago, and given it was pre kiddos, I never fully appreciated having several hours of solitude on a plane to read/work/think etc. One thing I did appreciate though was my blanket shawl. I never use those (maybe washed) airplane blankets. I bought my blanket shawl 10+ years ago at Filene's Basement in Chicago, and it has served me well! *Note - I took this picture yesterday specifically for this post. I don't typically do selfies in airport bathrooms.

M&M

First time seeing each other in nearly 5 years!!!

Business conference

Does anyone think 13 pairs of shoes are egregious for a 5 day conference? I didn't think so.

Bippity, Boppity Ballgown

I'm the other M, and I have been MIA. I do have a good excuse: I have been focused on getting ready for the ball. For real-sy. My husband is in the Army JAG Corps and tomorrow evening I get to attend the annual  ball. My 5 year old is beyond excited, and even designed a dress for me. Time wasn't on our side though, so I settled on this Adrianna Pappelle:

I feel very “Downton Abbey” in it, although Lady Mary would have likely just worn it to dinner on a Tuesday. Maybe I’ll do that after the ball. In addition, I’ve been obsessing about my make-up. Even though I make a point in doing my make-up every day, this week I have been DOING my make-up. I feel like I’m doing the walk-of-shame at kindergarten drop-off.  I promise to post pics in my gown and make-up. I also promise to be better at posting. I get to see the other M next week so I know I’ll be on my fashion toes!  

DOTS, readers, DOTS!
