All the Pumpkins

Happy Friday! I'm sure everyone is in agreement of how in the world are we already into November? Halloween is over, and we're in full on Thanksgiving prep mode and Christmas shopping has begun. Craziness!


We carved our pumpkin that we scooped up at the pumpkin patch a few weeks ago in time for Halloween. Baby girl has squealed every time she sees it, and looooves her giant "punkin".


Halloween night called for The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown, trick or treaters, and wine with my fav neighbors. She was dressed up as V for Vendetta which reminded me how much I was slacking and that I need a costume for next year even just to hand out candy.



The sales have already started, and I'm trying so hard to be good because it's definitely time to start shopping for friends and family already. The big guy will be coming down the chimney before we know it!

I have been eyeing these leggings for a good year now, and have watched them go in and out of stock. Not only are they back in stock, but they're currently 40% off. Definitely time to finally pull the trigger!

Mesh Leggings {Less than $24} - BP.

I can't resist this shirt dress which is on major sale. It'll be perfect for work and play, and how darling is that tie front bow? *Swoon*

Dress {Less than $20} - Target

I need these stemless wine glasses for my Thanksgiving tablescape. They're the cutest, and they're on sale so they're practically begging me to add them to my online cart.

Stemless Wine Glasses {only $4} - Crate and Barrel

And how pretty are these ballet flats? Perfect for holiday parties instead of killing your feet in heels all night. My girl Jessica knocked it out of the park!

I'll be back with a full recap of baby girl's birthday party on Monday, but for now I'll leave you with a pic of her beautiful cake which even though it's finished I'm still totally craving. Mmmmmm cake *in my best Homer Simpson voice*.

Staycation never felt so good

Even though I'm on a much-needed vacay from work until next week, the struggle that is the Christmas "hangover" is for real. I can't believe all the excitement has come and gone, but am looking forward to New Year's Eve festivities later this week. If you follow me on instagram (@greenfashionista) or snapchat (@greenfashonista) you may have already seen most of these festive pics.
December was such a busy month with so much excitement, but I can't believe it's all over! I kicked off my holiday stay-cation on Christmas Eve-Eve with one last Bar Method workout before Christmas, wrapping of the last few presents, and one more batch of creme de menthe cookies
There was also a late night FedEx delivery from my aunt with a framed picture of my grandparents when they were waiving goodbye at their wedding to leave for their honeymoon. Before opening anything else later that weekend I already knew this was hands down my favorite gift. I miss them beyond words!
It felt amazing to sleep in on Christmas Eve and get ready to visit with my fav neighbors before going to my in-laws for dinner, skyping with my sister and brother in-law in CT, and an extra competitive game night during dessert.
Christmas Day, I came down the stairs to see the cutest little minion peaking out of my stocking on the fireplace. Then it was time for brunch and mimosas while opening gifts and skyping with my parents and brother in CT.

On Saturday, I met up with Pamela at our favorite Mexican place for some margaritas before having a beer flight and playing some corn hole at the new brewery across the parking lot. How cute are those paddle boards that they serve the flights in?
Then it was time to go enjoy a fun game night at Emily and K's which included quality time with the adorable Miss Lola. I never pass up an opportunity to love on a bulldog pupper! Emily also sent us home with some Christmas treats including the new CAH expansion pack, a festive votive holder, and a super pretty scarf which was so sweet of her.

Sensing a fun theme here...

Happy December! 2015 has completely flown by, but I'm super excited for all the fun events and holiday parties leading up to Christmas and New Year's Eve. To kick off the most festive month of the year, I wanted to share what's on my wish list.
Christmas Wish List 2015


Cards Against Humanity Expansion Pack - Always a riot on game night, it's definitely time for the expansion pack for new laughs.
Kate Spade Happy Hour Coaster Set - Gorgeous set of gold glittery coasters that'll make any drink look fancier.
Kate Spade Cheers Wine Tote - Such a cute tote to go along with a bottle of wine or champs hostess gift.
Kate Spade Champagne at Midnight Metro Watch - Ever since Emily posted about this gorgeous watch a few weeks ago I knew it was going to be at the heart of my Christmas wish list. It's combining three of my favs: Kate Spade, champagne, and a soft pink hue.
Sephora Gift Cards - You can't go wrong with a gift card to one of my most-frequented stores with all of my favorite beauty finds.
Kate Spade Larabee Dot Decanter - I'm working on decorating a bar cart for the dining room, and this decanter would be a great centerpiece.
Kate Spade Gold Dot iPad Mini Hardcase - I got an iPad Mini2 last year for Christmas, and have been extremely lucky that it hasn't gotten damaged all this time without a folio case. This one is too pretty!
Jeter Unfiltered - I've enjoyed Mariano Rivera's book (The Closer), so I'm sure I'll love a book by the Captain as well. Re2pect!
Mindy Kaling's Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me - Another great read I've heard nothing but amazing things about. It'll be a great plane read for upcoming travel.
Barre3 - I've asked for some tanks for class, gift cards towards classes, and a core ball I can use for at home workouts.

I'm sensing a theme with Kate Spade, they are seriously winning all the prizes this year with fabulous accessories and home decor. I sure hope H took the hint yesterday to take advantage of the 30% off + free shipping Cyber Monday deal.

Linking up today with  my favorite festive gals ~ Katie, Sara, and Pinky. Hop on over and share some of your favorite holiday wishlists, recipes, and traditions!

Birthday Fun in Pink

To kick off my birthday weekend, I stayed in the area with some friends for happy hour. I wanted to wear a light dress (in the 95 degree weather) in a fun color to start the celebrations, and my Express Skater Dress did not disappoint.

The Friday After the Race

Happy Friday! I am so proud of myself for running in my first 5k last night, it never ceases to amaze me what my body is capable of until I actually push it to do so.

1. Tuesday, the 5k team had a happy hour so we could all get together before the race. It was great to see so many familiar faces, and some new ones as well. Such a great way for co-workers to come together and get some exercise.


2. I'm not sure how, but I had never tested the somewhat new Jessica Simpson Signature fragrance. Of course I'm not surprised that I totally love it, such a beautiful light citrusy vanilla scent that smelled great for hours. Definitely want to pick up a bottle of it soon!


3. I also need this pineapple ring in my life from Versona. Perfect accessory for spring and summer.


4. Picked up a bottle of my favorite Skinny Girl Margarita for the boat this weekend with Pamela and Kerri. Can't wait to relax in the sun with the girls, sip on yummy drinks, and I'm sure there will also be lots of dancing and swimming involved.


.... but can we talk about the amazingness that I stumbled upon when I was at the liquor store?


That's right girls... there is now mimosa flavored vodka. I'm assuming mixing this with some club soda will put your right outside brunching on a patio by the water. If there's something us bloggers know how to do better than shopping, it's brunch and mimosas.

5. The 5k was so much fun even in the rain, I did so much better than I thought I would do and barely had to stop. Afterwards, a bunch of us went out to celebrate downtown to continue the fun. More pics and a better review to come on Monday.


*Grainy Cheers*

Weekend Shopping Overload

I've been so good these past several months ever since we were under contract for the house with my spending, and this weekend was the first time I felt like I overshopped in a while. But I do have a good excuse.. or two.. both of which I gave to H for my online and in store shopping sprees. The first being how good I've been since February and the second being that I need new clothes and stuff for our cruise that's coming up in a few weeks.

First, I made an online order to Sephora for some new primer since mine is running really low. I've used MAC's Prep & Prime for a while, but feel like it was leaving my face too oily and greasy. I ended up deciding to try out Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer SPF 15  which had great reviews, plus I love that it has SPF built into it for extra skin protection. 



Then, I got another email from Body Central that their clearance items reduced again. Very hard to resist especially after I scored 3 great dresses from them for my last cruise for $9 each! So, I ventured over to their site and ordered the Border Print Kimono Sleeve Dress and the Embroidered Flutter Sleeve Top.



Then.... was when I threw all caution to the wind and made my first Victorias Secret order in 7 months. I can see the multiple catalogs arriving in my mailbox already. Any time I make an order, I start receiving multiple catalogs from them weekly, and as my orders stopped, I slowly watched the amount of catalogs arriving in the mail decrease. Too funny... 

The gold bikini that I mentioned I wanted in my Wardrobe Wants Wednesday post was on sale so I picked that up along with a new bathing suit coverup, tank dress, and a strapless bra. (Mine is on sadly on it's last leg and H has been chuckling at it, so it was definitely time.)




Then H and I went to Old Navy and Marshalls today, and I picked up a new black bathing suit top since I had a mishap with the top half of my black bikini at Aquatica I knew I needed to replace it. And since women's bathing suits are on sale for $6 for each piece right now I jumped on it. At Marshalls, H picked up a pack of Nautica white t's and we both got some new sunglasses. He got a pair of Guess sunglasses marked down from $75 to $13 and I got these Jessica Simpson's marked down from $50 to $10! 


How was your weekend? Did you go on any shopping binges?
