Happy New Year + Peyton's 2012 Fashions

Happy New Year!  *Raises glass*.  I thank God for another year!  I am very excited for 2013!  Something about the beginning of the year makes you feel like you get a new start!  

I shared some of my favorite outfits from 2012 with you last week (HERE).  Here are my fave looks from Peyton in 2012!  My baby is growing too fast!

Mama's Fave Outfits of 2012

Boy does time fly!  Can't believe we are headed into 2013!  I want to thank you guys for all your support throughout the year!  I am sure 2013 will rock as well!  I thought I would be cool to go through some old post and pick out some of my favorite outfits that I wore last year.  I had a few "Why did I wear that" but for the most part I think I kept it together!

Potty Training Update + Dora Panties

Christmas Scenes

I hope you guys had a very Merry Christmas!  I ran myself into the ground before Christmas.  I was so beat that I wore sweat pants on Christmas day!  Between helping my mom cook and clean and playing with Peyton there was just no time to get myself together!  Mister said he thought it was cool that I chilled all day.... If you say so Mister...LOL!

One Dollar Holla

Christmas doesn't stop me from buying clothes for Peyton.  While cruising Walmart I stopped in the kids clothing section and found a rack that had everything for $1!  I pretty much got one of everything in Peyton's size!

Me-Ality: Find Your Fit

If you are anything like me, I am sure you have walked by this huge machine in the mall that looks like an airport security scanner.  I finally know what it is!

Shorts in the Winter

Last week I decided to pull out my Vegan shorts to attend the Motions Holiday Meetup!  After taking pictures I realized that my shirt was all bunched up.  I thought I would mention that before yall started talking about me : ).

All Mama Wants for Christmas

Hard to believe Christmas is next week!  For Christmas I don't expect gifts.  I make a list but it is more of what I want buy for myself.

Weekend Style: Bowling + Bows

I want to send thoughts and prayers for the community of Newton, CT.  My stomach has been in knots since this tragedy happened.  My heart aches for all that have been affected!  I am sure we all held our kids a little tighter this weekend!

Sunday, Mister and I took Peyton to a bowling birthday party.  I didn't know that lil two year olds could even bowl!  Too much cuteness!

Potty (NOT) Training

I am not about this potty training life!  I was fooling myself to think that Peyton was going to be easy to potty train.  When we first brought home a potty she went a few times and was happy about it.  She knows all words to the Potty Dance Song and we even had a Potty Dance Party (HERE) at the house with other kids.  Boy was I wrong!

Holiday Hair Updo's

I think I am getting in the holiday spirit!  Like I said earlier this week, I have a few holiday parties and events this weekend.  This holiday season I will be rocking the natural!  I am pretty lazy with the hair so an high bun is usually my go to look.  I found some inspiration to change up the bun a little bit for the festivities!

Neiman Marcus + Target Holiday 24 Haul

The day has finally come!  December 1st marked the day Neiman Marcus and Target came together to bring  the world fabulous gifts from 24 top designers!  

Partner with Touchstone Crystal for Holiday Hurricane Rebound

Touchstone Crystal Division of Swarovski has launched a Holiday Hurricane Rebound campaign to support its mompreneurs
Before being contacted by Touchstone Crystal, I was unfamiliar with the brand.  I was surprised to see the beautiful designs at reasonable prices!  Each product in the Touchstone Crystal line is made with Swarovski Crystal and follows its strict quality guidelines.

Touchstone Crystal's traditional method of marketing is working with individual entrepreneurs that host in-home parties to generate sales.  A lot of the East Coast Entrepreneurs have been effected hurricane Sandy!  Some of these small business owners and their customers are without power, heat and homes!

This “Holiday Hurricane Rebound” campaign will allow individuals from anywhere in the country to partner with a specific Touchstone Crystal small business owner on the East Coast whose circumstances have been effected by the storm to the degree that her or his ability to generate income in their community via traditional means is seriously challenged. Participants will have a chance to connect with a Touchstone Crystal entrepreneur directly, online or via telephone, and set up an online jewelry sales party during the holiday season. In addition to initiating this campaign and working to help secure party partners and facilitate the parties, Touchstone Crystal will make double jewelry credit awards available to remote hosts who choose to sign up for this program.
Are you interested in hosting Touchstone Crystal party to help these ladies?  For more information on the “Holiday Hurricane Rebound” campaign by Touchstone Crystal by Swarovski, visit www.touchstonecrystal.com/holidayhurricanerebound.

Our Kenya Doll Super Star Experience with Family Dollar

I was super excited that Peyton and I were invited to celebrate the launch of the new Kenya Doll with Family Dollar!  The first Kenya dolls debuted in 1992.  I am about to tell on myself but I never got to enjoy Kenya because I was a teen at that time : ).  Now she is Bizzack with mad style and a crew!  Now available at Family Dollar Stores!

Holiday Party Outfits: Casual

The Holiday party are in full swing!  Big question we all have is what to wear?  It's pretty easy to find a fabulous party dress and some baaaad shoes and head out to a party.  What do you wear for the casual parties or out with the girls?  I put together a few looks that I think will be a hit this Holiday Season!

Bling it out for the Holidays!  You can't miss with a sequin blazer!You will see me in an outfit like this!

Tom Ford, Welcome to Atlanta!

Last week Tom Ford's full beauty and cosmetics line landed at Neiman Marcus in Atlanta!!!  Makeup by the sexiest man in Fashion... Say no more!  I have heard so much about the Tom Ford beauty line, especially the lipsticks but I have never been able to try it.  My wait is now over!  Tom Ford's full beauty line debuted at Neiman Marcus Atlanta last Tuesday and I was flattered to be able to preview it on its inaugural day!
