My collections complete~~

I just got back from a lovely week in LA.  Although Zach and I didn't get to see much of Arnold we had a blast with my folks, sister, and friends.

My sister took me shopping for my b-day and I decided to complete my charm necklace collection from Helen Ficalora.  I already had one w/ both Arnold and my initials (A and T) ... though I kinda wished I could switch my 'A' with a 'Z' due to the steep price tag on the charms...oops did I just say that out loud?   I ended up getting the 'Z' in rose gold so that it would stand out a bit from the other two.

I was also able to sneak in some shopping during my lunch breaks @ work and picked up this demin chambray shirt @ Madewell.  I've tried on a few chambray shirts in the past but they all made me feel boxier than I wanted. This one is different. It's called the Perfect Chambray Ex-Boyfriend shirt and yano what..it is pretty perfect.

Early B-day gift : Helen Ficalora Z charm in pink gold

Out on the town w/o the kiddos. I've been wearing this Zara blouse pretty religiously since I got it!

I've been diggin' a lot of Zara and Madewell pieces lately.  Ever since Zach came along, I started to gravitate towards more affordable-hassle free tops.  Maybe it's due to the fact that he'd projectile spit all over me that shirts made of 100% silk no longer appeal to me as much as the Zara blouse above does (100% polyester baby!)

Bloomies Friends and Family official starts tomorrow so I'll be perusing the store this week.  Happy Shopping!

TGIF.. Boom, badoom, boom bass !!

Wow... this has been one of the longest work weeks ever.  I've been with MTV for almost five years now and I thought I had everything down to a T.  Boy, was I wrong~  Since I came back from my maternity leave I had to relearn several aspects of my job and had to hustle to meet every deadline.  Sleeping in 3-4 hour segments every night didn't help my focus either.  I struggled throughout the last few weeks and put in a few late nights at home after putting Zach to sleep but somehow got through it.

It's finally Friday and I feel all right.  Feeling kinda proud of myself, I decided to get a manicure during my lunch break.  (My first mani in well over a year I might add!)  It's been raining non stop everyday for the past 5 days and will continue to do so throughout the weekend so I decided to go with a punch of color as a pick me up:

Behold: OPI's Pink Friday from the Nicki Minaj Collection

Oh, and here's little Zachy on our way to the nanny's in the pouring rain:

I am counting down the days until next week.  I'll be in LA for a week on business and will be celebrating my b-day early with friends and family.  I'm so lookin' forward to my mama's home cooked meals and checking out some legit LA grubberies.. oh and to see my adorable niece again!

I just die..

eemo's coming to see you soon~
