The Rain Has Started {and these boots will see me through}

We've had such a gorgeous Summer and a lovely start to Fall, but it's time.  The rain was absolutely pouring last night and has been on and off all day - really quite dark and dreary out there.  So today my Burberry rain shoes came out and I expect that they will have one of the lowest costs-per-wear of any item in my closet soon.

I'm just doing a snap of the boots.  I ordered them from Bloomingdale's last year which I can't really recommend since the shoe box arrived torn/squished as they just slipped the box into a plastic bag and sent them on their merry way (they also did the same thing with a Marc by Marc Jacobs handbag so until I hear they're taking a little more care with shipping I'll order elsewhere).

Otherwise I just have on my blue Juicy velour + a blush colored Petit Bateau tee (LOVE these!) I bought in Paris this past summer along with much more PB for my little ones.  I needed to be comfy as it is a crazy busy day and I also spent an hour at the orthodontist getting clear braces put on my lower teeth.  Yes, I've had them before (long, long ago), but apparently "as we age" our teeth can move so I'm looking at a good nine months of going through this again.

Since they're just lower, they won't be showing up in any pics.  Since they're clear, I've been instructed to avoid a few things that I really like: curry, tea, red wine, and.... coffee...  Yeah, that's not going to work out.  So I'll be sipping my coffee through straws.  Would it be tacky to do that with red wine too? ;)

I hope everyone is having a lovely Wednesday, whatever your weather!

Black & Gray {for Soccerday}

OK.  So this is our first year being involved in soccer.  Three kids in soccer (plus Hubby coaching one of the teams) equals soccer seven times a week this time of year.  Crazy!  Saturday is now Soccerday.  

So my one morning a week that I used to spend a good hour leisurely perusing new finds at Target, stocking up on groceries, and making a trip to a mall or getting a mani while Hubby stayed home with the kids and made pancakes has morphed into running from one soccer game to the next.  And then to the next.  But the kids love it and it's over in November so we're enjoying it these few months.  It's starting to get very chilly out there (and this is Seattle) so I do like wearing my cozy Uggs.  

Here was yesterday:

J Crew black cable v-neck wool sweater, ON tee, Vigoss jeans, Gray Uggs, Burberry scarf

I love this scarf!  (and this time of year my "cost-per-wear" is going down every week, I wear it so much)

We are running off to church this morning & then the rest of this sunny, gorgeous (though chilly) Fall day is totally unplanned and unscheduled!  I hope everyone enjoys a lovely Sunday!
