Feeling Pretty

November 16, 2015/ EverydayStilettos

I was contemplating last night the issue of outgrowing one's dreams. Not that you outgrow them and they are no longer your dreams, but that your physical growth - either in size or age - makes your dreams no longer plausible for you. For example: I have always loved horses. When I was very young, I wanted a job that let me ride horses for a living. I wanted to be a horse jockey. Then I grew to be 5'11", and clearly there is no way that specific dream could be a reality. Fortunately, it was also a dream I outgrew in that I no longer wanted to be a jockey by the time I was 5'11", so that worked itself out.

A Casual Look

Happy Friday the 13th to everyone! Hope you don't find yourself switching bodies with your parents or anything else wacky. ;)

If you follow me on Instagram or Snapchat (@edstilettos), you know that we spent most of the last week celebrating my son's birthday. He turned 2. We said that after his first birthday we weren't going to do planned parties for a while, because honestly, until they understand what's going on, the parties are really for the adults. So we decided to do something fun that he would enjoy, just the 3 of us, and we took him to the San Diego Zoo on Monday.

Wednesday Wishlist - Nordstrom Fall Beauty

Like many women I know, I enjoy beauty and skincare products. I told my husband (back when he was just my boyfriend) that I wouldn't be one of those girls/women that had a million products, but its a good thing I didn't put that in my wedding vows, because I lied. Not intentionally, but as I've gotten older I'm always on the search for the best thing to keep my skin looking it's best as age and hormones cause my skin issues to change.

Office Stripes

November 09, 2015/ EverydayStilettos

Ironically I'm posting an office outfit on a Monday that I'm not going to work. My son is turning 2 this week, and we're taking him down to the San Diego Zoo to see the animals. He's at the fun age where he is learning animals and the sounds they make ("What does a cow say?" "Mooo!") Aside from dogs, cats, birds and squirrels, (oh, and the aquarium), my son has not seen any other animals in the flesh. He is very fond of elephants and lions right now, so I'm hoping he finds them as awesome in person.

Fall Cape and Cozy Dress

November 06, 2015/ EverydayStilettos

I have my hot beverage steaming before me right now (green tea this time), and I'm so happy we're having some cool weather finally! We're already into November, which means I need to get my brain in to holiday gear, and it's so hard to think about Thanksgiving and Christmas when you're still splashing in the pool on the weekends (I know, SoCal life is tough ;) ).

This dress is like the softest thing ever (I know I said that about this sweater - it might be a tie), and cute belted or not. I can see myself wearing it so many ways.
