loves.

i have been pondering something awesome and insightful to write on here the last couple days, but i have got nothing. our life is boring. well, mine and zak's is. levi's is always fun and entertaining for him from 7-7. so instead of writing about playing on the playground and walking around half naked {baby... not me, i know you all were thinking that though}, i thought i'd share my love's of the moment. like oprah. except mine are better. 

first off. sequins. 

this is my new purse. it is metallic gold leather with fabulous sequins. and i absolutely love it. it was on sale at nordstrom rack, down from $375 to $75.00 and i knew i couldn't pass that goodness up. 


i pretty much love anything shiny and "ridiculous" as my husband would say. but this was worth every single penny i paid for it. 

2. peep toes. 


i just bought these for myself today at dsw.com they were originally $69.00 on sale for $19.94, and then i had a $10.00 coupon plus free shipping, so i paid $10.82 total for them to be here tomorrow. yeah i basically rule at shopping. i've been looking for a flat i can wear every day to feel a little more dressed with my hanes t-shirt and jeans, and these had rave reviews about how comfy they were. so they better be. 

3. boots. 
as many of you know, i have an obsession with boots. and living in the land of perfect weather, i wear them quite frequently with my scarf, cardigans and skinny jeans. these ones are the most comfortable, delicious pair i've ever owned. i highly recommend them. they're called steve madden zoiiee, and they aren't outrageously expensive either. 

4. apple. 

when we sold my baby, i got a new computer as part of the deal. we couldn't just sell my car to buy levi a motorcycle, that would be just plain ol' unfair. so, i got a new macbook pro. and minus our wireless printer not working with it, it kicks trash. having never had an mac before, i am loving it. i highly highly recommend forking over the bazillion dollars and getting one. you won't be disappointed. 

5. modern family
before we started watching this, i hated this show. it stole awards from glee, and the office and all of the other primetime shows i love. but then i decided to get the dvd's on netflix. it might be one of the most hilarious shows i've ever watched. more than the office, or 30 rock and i've been a big fan of those shows forever. do yourself a favor and watch it. just one episode. 

6. maxi dresses. 
i have been digging these recently. when they're fitted right, they're very flattering. they hide bumps and rolls, and when paired with heels, make you look much longer and skinnier than you really are. i found a blazer at h&m, and i basically switch dresses underneath and wear it to church every week. 

7. clinique make up
i have ridiculously sensitive skin. if i get stressed, it breaks out. if i wash it with a different soap, it breaks out. if i use a different makeup it breaks out etc etc. so, i've used bare escentuals make up for ages because it never made me break out and worked good. until i met this bad boy. i've never seen my skin look so makeup free with makeup on. it makes my redness go away, and doesn't sit on top of my skin to make it look all "madeup". i'm in love. go ahead, go into macy's or nordstrom's and have them give you a makeover. you won't be disappointed. 

8. this belly. 

isn't it so cute? i just wanna squish him all the time. i don't know why his shirts up, he thought it would be clever while we took pictures with our spare time.

what are you in love with this summer? it's not really summer time here as it's always 70 degrees, but you know what i mean.

  1. 1.) purse is a little over the top but you being melissa lowry that you are... you can pull it off to be cute.
    2.) definitely looking into flats at dsw.com soon!
    4.) been an apple fan for almost 5 years now and continue to love it
    7.) i'll have to give that a try sometime. i haven't worn any foundation/ makeup for years because my face breaks out. if it works for you (from what you're talking about) i might need to just look into that too.
    8.) super cute pictures. he has an outie! i love that you're more excited that he is. ha ha! I say this everytime but seriously, how can he be so big? He looks so big boy-ish now!
