Fall by Adam Lippes for Target

October 12, 2015/ EverydayStilettos

This has got to be tiring hearing about because it is SO tiring living it - we are having CRAZY heat in SoCal right now. It was the second weekend in October and we had temps over 100 degrees this weekend. We only have AC in my son's room, so I cranked it on high and had a fan blowing the cool air out into the rest of the space. It was still like 85 or more degrees inside, but compared to the triple digits outside, it felt cool. Fortunately the sun is setting earlier, so its cooling earlier, and we're supposed to have cooler weather as the week progresses, so fingers crossed!

I was able to meet up with an photog friend of mine early one morning, before the real heat set in, to shoot these looks that I'm anxious to actually wear. He's the first photographer I ever shot with when I was attempting to model and act, and we've stayed in touch. He shot my maternity photos when I was pregnant with my son and we always have a great time shooting, but haven't done it in quite a while. It was such fun to work together again - I hope we can do it more regularly now that the blog gives us purpose. :)

Adam Lippes recently released a very cute capsule collection for Target - all these pieces work so well together and will totally work apart. The heels run about a half size small, but they are the perfect height, and so cute (there are some adorable flats as well.) The shirt dress is long (I am 5'11" and wearing a small - the sleeves are actually long enought!!) And the sweater vest has pocket! Yay for pockets! I think all 3 are still available online if you can't find them in your local store.

It's Beginning to Feel a Bit Like Fall

October 05, 2015/ EverydayStilettos

Hope you had a good weekend. Here we are at Monday again. I'm thinking about starting a petition to make weekends 3 days instead of 2. Anyone interested in signing?

So I actually woke up one night this weekend because I was cold, and had to pull the blanket up (we've just been sleeping with a sheet on, because it's been so hot.) It was a nice feeling. I also woke up to the sound of rain outside at 2am on Sunday, and while it had stopped by the time the sun came up, it left us with a cool and fall-like day. I would have lounged in my PJs for half the day, if I could have (lounging in any capacity happens very rarely these days. You know, with the toddler and all.) We did have about an hour of family snuggles that morning watching Baby Einstein in mommy and daddy's bed though. ;) Overall, the weekend was good (mommy and daddy we able to go out TWO nights in a row, the first in ages.)
