Still haven't packed!

I am leaving in 1 day to spend time with my family in Tampa, FL for the Thanksgiving holiday this year. That is the good news. The bad news is that I have not packed one single solitary thing - and we are a family of 6!!!  That essentially means that I pack for 6 people, of course, since no one else is capable or will pack their own. Maybe it is that I dont' trust anyone to do it right! ;)  Seriously, as soon as I post today's blog I am getting started. I have to or we will not have a single thing to wear all next week - wow, that would make for a boring blog! LOL

So I had to include one shot with my gorgeous fluffy man, Tuscan. He is my 2 year old standard poodle. We kind of matched today (with my oversized fluffy cream colored sweater!). They do say that owners and dogs tend to look alike..his ears are a blonde color and they are fluffy and curly like someone else I know....hmmmmm :)

Sweater/Jumper: Dorothy Perkins (find another color here)

Cheetah Scarf: from Target (see it in previous blog for more info)

Leggings: Express - seriously the BEST leggings I have ever had on. I am purchasing at least one more pair! (find them here)

Riding Boots: Zara - this season (sold out - find similar here)

Bag: Michael Kors "Hamilton" (find here)

Until tomorrow.......as long as the packing gets done by then!

Who doesn't enjoy a little green???

I really love green and I couldn't pass up this super yummy and happy mint scarf that I ran across a few weeks ago.  Finally got a chance to wear it today and it didn't dissapoint. I paired it with one of my favorite fall staples - Zara riding boots - and an ultra comfy and fun skirt topped off with my "deal of the century" MK blazer (picked this up for only $25 when I was out of town this summer on a clearance rack - LAST ONE and in a size 4 - normally I would look for the 6 (I was nervous it wouldn't fit my ample chest, but it did - yay me!!!) the tag was $188!). 

I wore this skirt a bit this summer with a simple white v-neck tee. It is that perfect medium weight material that can easily float between seasons. It has a hidden side zip, but feels and fits more like a pull on styled skirt (which I tend to like better for comfort reasons).

Blazer: Michael Kors (similar here)

Sweater: Old Navy (see it worn here in a previous entry and purchase here)

Scarf: Merona from Target

Skirt: Sandro Studio (Net-A-Porter- similar here and here)

Tights: Hue from Macy's

Riding Boots: Zara (find them here)

This is my hair on day 2 (no washing, no curling). I got up, worked my dry shampoo into my roots and then ran paddle brush through my hair...this was the result (at the end of the day -pics taken after I got home from the office around 5pm). The curl definitely relaxes a bunch from the day before, but it still works for me.

I am telling you that this dry shampoo trend has changed my beauty routine and saved me at least an hour every day! That is an hour I needed desperatly :)

I will wash and dry it tonight so that I can curl it in the morning and head out the door....not to mess with it again for at least 2 more days - yay!!

Anyway - I am really telling you all of this becuase I am hoping that it will help another girl out there today!  I wish someone had told me sooner - it would have changed my life for the better, sooner :)

(My dry shampoo of choice: Bastiste - buy here....for only $8 what do you have to lose?!)

Another famously "easy" and "effortless" outfit. If you have learned anything from reading my blogs it should be that I crave (require actually!) "easy"!  Of course I still want to feel and look stylish. 

Hope you all enjoyed this 7th day of November! See you tomorrow.
