Happy Hump Day y'all. ( I don't know why the "y'all". Just seemed to go well with "Hump Day.") Half way to the weekend - yay! I don't have anything planned yet of interest, but since we've had busy weekends the past couple, and we have busy weekends coming up, I'm ok with no plans this weekend.

Hmm, maybe I'll paint the bathroom....that sounds relaxing, right? ;)

Recapping the last couple weeks from Instagram:

Heading out to a date night dinner, showing off my recent Rocksbox arrival.

A rare brunch with one of my oldest girlfriends - no kids or hubbies, and bottomless mimosas.

Outfit photobomb by curious toddler. The world is an interesting place.

Just appreciating the little things around me - some lovely white roses outside the office.

Neutral layers at work on a hot day.

Cut out of work early to hit up the beach with my best boys. Love them.

More neutrals - with one of my favorite F21 purchases (years ago) leopard top.

A bedtime selfie just trying out the last Rocksbox wares.

I get my money's worth out of this shirt dress. So versatile, love the print and colors.

Throwback to our family trip to Arkansas - taking a photograph while being photographed.

A casual look. Vests are one of my favorite ways to mix up a look.

Details from a lovely fairytale wedding we attended at the Four Season Beverly Hills,

Started the week off with some light, striped pants, and my late grandma's necklace.

Colorful new kimono, and striped flats.

Happy Hump Day to all. Its the middle of the morning and I'm ready for a nap already. We're having some way strange weather here in SoCal right now. Rained yesterday, but with tropical humidity. Woke up this morning to 90% humidity and we don't have AC. I know much of the country deals with high humidity much more than we do here (which is why so many people move out here.) So when we get it we REALLY notice. And it basically means to me not to both with the blow dryer in the morning, cuz that I one battle I will not win. Air dry and natural frizz it is today.

If you missed it, here's a look back on the past couple weeks when the air moisture level was more normal.

This week started off with a lovely day. I started the week with some fun color.

Too ripe bananas equaled mini-chocolate chip banana muffins this week. No nuts this time.

Tried to "work appropriate" this casual jersey dress with a vest. I think it worked.

Grabbed this shirt on a whim on my way out of H&M. Really loving its colors. Feels like spring to me.

I thought this top was too boxy when I first got it, but I really like it tucked in to slim bottoms, like this pencil skirt (that I've had for ages. A great buy.)

Just appreciating the lovely blooms in our landscaping at work.

This dress has pockets. Any dress that has pockets makes me happy.

Close-up of the House of Harlow bangle I was wearing from my Rocksbox that week.

You may have noticed I'm wearing the same shoes in every picture: I jammed my toe over the weekend, and my foot was/is so sore and swollen I can only wear these sandals.

Working on some creative endeavors, a sneak peek here. Stay tuned.

Didn't know what to wear this day, just threw things on. I think it turned out ok. Shouldn't have worn those shoes though - was limping all day (see above image caption.)

Exploring nature with my little buddy on a sunny afternoon. Teaching Mom to see the little things again.

Trying to look pulled together while still weekend comfy. These shorts are nice and breezy.

Trader Joes has been all over Instagram lately because they've had their shipments of fresh peonies. This is my 3rd bunch. They smell so great.

Love these cobalt pants. They are the lightest fabric, so soft and cool. Got them at Mango years ago, on a whim. Sometimes I make good whim purchases.
