A tisket, a tasket, a white colored jacket...

For some reason this Fall, I'm really into jackets.  And coats.  Nevermind that I'll only make use of them maybe once or twice this winter ( and every winter that follows as long as we live in Texas).  So, on Friday, during my gleefull shopping trip at Nordstrom's, I ended up coming home with this:

It also comes in ivory:

After much internal debate, I ended up choosing the ivory over the navy color.  I love the military style and the fact that it fits a little longer on my torso (a quality hard to find!).  I also think the style will go well with my existing wardrobe.  Plus after I tried it on for X, he said he loved it and suggested I go back and get the navy too (wha?....).  I need two jackets much less than I need this one. 

Anyways, I loved it so much, until the next day.  Then doubt started creeping over me:  Ivory- doesn't it get dirty? How often will I end up dry cleaning it?  Will I even wear it? 

Any one else own a white-ish coat?  Is it a staple for your wardrobe or could you do without it?

Sneak Peek

Friday afternoon, I headed over to Nordstom'a to return a few items and make use of my giftcard. Unbeknownst to me, their half yearly sale just began! Luckily, I was finally able to cash in my giftcard for a few items that I really love. Including this:



More images soon to come :)

Happy Friday!

 Hello Friday!  We're planning to keep this weekend low-key and, of course, we look forward to enjoying the extra hour we're gaining on Sunday.

Have a great weekend :)

Happy Friday!

My Dog, the Bully

This is Oso, my brother-in-law's pup.  He lives with us and we love him. So, I guess that makes him my adopted dog? my nephew dog? or maybe just my dog too (watch it BIL, you may not get him back :P).  He's old and sweet and follows me around.  He loves being in the same room as either X or me.

This is Kingsley.  He lives with us too.  He is our first "together" pet, our child, our baby.  He looks incredibly cute, but don't let his sleeping innocence deceive you.  He's extremely stubborn, kind of loud, and mostly likes to be alone, except during thunderstorms when he FREAKS out.  Then he wants to crawl in your lap, in which he does not fit.

Bed time routine around our house usually goes like this:  I get ready for bed, round up the dogs and herd them to their respective dog beds, X leaves for the gym, I go to sleep.  This evening, Oso was already curled up and comfy on Kingsley's bed.  Kingsley was in our guest room, sleeping on top of the guest bed, which I think he's claimed as his own too.  After much prodding, X finally convinced him to get up and come into our room.

Kingsley walked in our room, looked at Oso, and then proceeded to crawl in his bed on top of Oso.

And there he stayed.  I'm sure Oso was thrilled.

"Uh, what just happened?"

I'm sure you can guess who won.
