Let It Rain! {my kate spade rainboots are here!}

Pulling in our drive from the pre-K pick-up today, I saw a large box on our front porch and said "Ooooh look!  A box!  I wonder what it could be?!"  My four year old son quickly responded "Maybe some shoes for you!" and I had to laugh because I was sure it was a Christmas present for one of the kiddos.  But he was right - my new kate spade Randi rainboots have arrived.

The lipstick pink is the perfect, happy shade, and the bows are just the right size.  Fun, fun, fun.  Love.

The ATL Flannel Skirt IRL {+ kate spade on the way!}

Today I'm wearing the first piece from my recent ATL shopping spree... the one item I hadn't put on hold - the Flannel Skirt from the sale rack.  This was $59.50, marked down to $39.99 and then 30% less with the F&F.

I love the fabric on this skirt and the wide panel under the waistband that keeps it smooth across your tummy before there are some gathers that make it a little fuller.  It even has pockets!  A little less serious than a pencil skirt I think, if that makes sense.  You could wear just about anything with this skirt so I had a hard time deciding and finally just threw on one of ATL's cardis from last year over a tucked in tee so that the waist detail showed.  Also wearing J Crew Brewster boots and black tights.

Sorry about the darkness of the pictures, but it is just sooo dark here lately with all the clouds and rain.  Which brings me to these lovelies:

Yes the rain and cold and wind finally got to me and I ordered myself some happy Lipstick Pink kate spade Randis last night!  Review coming up when they arrive!

Happy Friday!

Hello, Quinn! {and a very plain OOD}

Today's outfit is very plain because it's all about my fabbie new Fairchild Gardens Quinn!  When did my husband develop such great taste?! ;) 

While I will think about some more interesting wardrobing options later, I don't have time today so jeans, white tank, leopard sandals, and latte colored ATL cardi it is...

Why am I in such a hurry?  Because now I have to rush to Target between dropping the kids off at school and heading into the office for a couple hours, because of this post.  Thanks Gigi!

More Treat-Week shopping and gifting updates to come (and better, less blurry pics, I promise!), stay tuned :)

I am not going to go for the fringe bag (still pining for the Tangerine Tulip Quinn), but how I'd love all the rest:  

...the bracelets ...the dresses ...the shoes ...the martini, ...oh my!

I love all the summer critters on the jewelry, too, and check out this lime slice ring!  I can taste summer already...

OOD 4.28.09: Resembling My Coffee Cup + Oh My I Just Found Quinn

I don't wear a lot of green, but I love the styling of this top so wanted more than just one white one... and was drawn to this color because it is different from anything else I have. I added a white cardigan and noticed... hey, I look like a Starbucks coffee cup. And I don't mind.

My white cardi is AT Loft but (as I've said many times) quite similar to J Crew's Jackie, which I love and own in other colors. But - last I was in the Loft these were on promo for $24.50. F&F starts today so if they keep it at that price, these will be just $17.15. I did notice this morning that online they are back to $39.50 (I purchased two a couple months ago for $24.50 each online) so that would make them 27.65. Still a great price for some pretty new Spring colors. I'd like to get a champagne/ivory and, if they are under $20, am contemplating a Spring color or two.

So here's today's Polyvore. The shoes are similar... I'm actually wearing some Mia slides I bought at Nordstrom Rack last year.

The watch is the CUTEST. My daughter and I spotted these at Nordstrom on Sunday in the girls department. They come in all kinds of fun colors - turquoise, bright yellow, etc and have those rubber/flexible plastic bands and sparkling rhinestones or crystals around the face. And guess what - $14.00! Only $14.00! What a perfect summer watch. On the face of every watch at Nordstrom, it says "Sophie" with the "o" as a heart. I had never seen these before and when I went to the the website engraved on the back of the watch (www.collezio.com), all the watch faces are plain. I am wondering if they have named these "the Sophie watch" or if they customize them and accidentally printed up 500 with the name Sophie. Either way, they are cute, cute, cute and the SA said Mommies were just buying them up for themselves too so we both got one!

Also, I just found the Quinn. I have an old Kate Spade diaper bag around here somewhere which was a great bag, but I once had a beautiful red KS in some kind of grosgrain fabric that did not hold up well at all... fabric rubbing off on all bottom corners after just a few months of occasional and gentle use. They told me it was because it was rubbing on my clothing, which did not make sense to me at all, so I've kind of not been looking at Kate Spade for the last 8 years or so. But now, though she's been around 10 years, I've found Quinn! This has got to be the most darling Spring bag ever. I want the tangerine tulip and the apple green! I joined the site for email updates and they sent me an email for 15% off... but it seems I've heard of better discounts on the KS site? At any rate, I am waiting. But I've got my eye on these...

Happy Tuesday!
