Yellow Much

I'm wearing another yellow today at work. Today is Teacher Appreciation Day too, so I'm getting a dozen of cupcakes later today and will bring them over for the boys' teachers at lunch time. Yes, I'm not that creative when it comes to ideas what to make for days like this and I have nobody to blame but myself.

I didn't realize by putting kids to daycare/school, you will need a new skill set, that for one, you need to be prepare when they say that "hey, Valentine's day is coming up, kids are encouraged to swap Valentine's day card", the day won't be about swapping cards. In fact, last Valentine's day other [parents] prepared home made heart shaped cookies to be given out, gifts, self-made greeting cards, and I stupidly enough only brought 2 cards [read: that I bought] from Sanford and Winston. HECK how am I suppose to know to bring cards for the whole class- and gifts??! So I know I won't be creative today and I don't want to give personalized gift to every single teachers because I WILL skip one by accident. So you know what, I'll buy something that they can share.

In my defense, at least the card will be made of their picture and I hand-written the message and at least I look bright and happy in yellow :-D

Yellow Friday

This week has been the longest week EVER! I had to drag myself from bed and I surely can do another hour or two extra sleep. Office drama all week, I'm now over it. I'm ready for Friday, ready for the weekend. I'm extra casual today and I throw in some yellow too to cheer my mood.

Fendi Jelly Flat Sandals

I took advantage of the gift card event at Neiman Marcus recently and one of the item that I bought is this Fendi Jelly Flat Sandals. When I bought shoes/sandals I tend to choose more neutral colors so when I saw this sandals in NM catalog (in bright yellow/red/blue combo), I wasn't sure if I can pull them off. I went online and found they have this white/red/black combo instead so I decided to get it.

They are very comfy and cute at the same time, love it so far!

San Antonio Zoo Trip 2012

We took the boys to San Antonio Zoo on Saturday to celebrate them being 15 months old. The boys had fun and the weather was absolutely gorgeous!

On Sunday we had pizza and just hang around at home. The boys wearing their t-shirt that we bought at the zoo as souvenirs! I need more weekend like this pleaseeee :-)

Emerson Fry White Mod Dress

I don't normally go crazy over white outfit-white dress specifically, but this one makes me swoon. I love how simple the dress looks but it's dressy enough for any occasion. Honestly I want it so bad but I hate how I cannot try it, especially because it is white. The color that I normally would avoid. I've been watching the site all day and the sizes started to diminish. Ohhh what to do!

xoxo

Moved!

Our office finally moved to this new location up North last week and I was so happy! Not only the new location will cut my traveling time to half (I'm about 15-20 mins away from home now compares to 45 mins), I'm about 5 minutes away from the boys' montessori and oooh 3 minutes away from NM haha.
Picking them up every afternoon is now a breeze and I don't get grumpy on the road. The office is brand spanking new with full size mirror in the women bathroom (I don't know about you, but that's important for me), trails at the back, huge kitchen with cafetaria style, personalized lockers (mine contains foods HAHA) and so on.

Anyway, I couldn't take pictures properly in front of the full size mirror. I don't know..I think the lighting angles kinda wrong. Oh well..I will keep practicing.

These were from Thursday/Friday last week :-)

Happy Easter 2012

I hope you have a great Easter so far with your families. We've been pretty outdoorsy the whole weekend as we took the boys to the Easter Extravaganza yesterday at the Riverbend Church and we went for brunch today and stopped by at the Old Settlers Park for some bluebonnet pictures (my first time ever too since I moved to Austin in 2007!). Anyway, it was nice day and great way to burn some cals from the brunch hehe.

Cartier and Saks Promotion

Just in case you are planning to add to your Cartier collection, Cartier at Saks Dadeland Mall, FL (the only Saks that has Cartier in it), is having a promo right now where you can buy any piece(s) you want with 12 months no interest with your Saks MPA account. I can refer you to my wonderful SA there. She's very good with returning calls and she's impeccable with her packaging.  Let me know soon since the promo will run for another 2 weeks and as of right now she has a pretty good selection, including Love bracelets in YG or even RG.

Happy Easter!

Training Week

We are having some training today and tomorrow in the office. I'm not involved in any way but that means I can't do casual on these 2 days. I was thinking of wearing my Jason Wu for Target dress, but the rain hasn't stopped this morning so I couldn't be bothered. I ended up wearing almost all black but I'm pretty pleased :-)

This Time is PERFECT

My 2nd Love bracelet finally arrives (again) and this time she is beautiful. I'm truly happy now so here is a quick picture of them together. Pardon the phone picture, but I'm at work and I was on my lunch break.
This weekend when DH and I celebrate our wedding anniversary, I will post more pictures :-)

xoxo

Delay

I know I promised to post some pictures for the 2 Love bracelets however without going to too much details, I had to return the 2nd love bracelet the same day I got it. All I can say, it didn't look as pristine that I would like to be due to the way they packaged the bracelet. In the box I found the 2 separate pieces and screwdriver without being protected whatsoever so you can imagine the condition of that poor Love hitting each other during the overnight trip.

After multiple calls they finally sending me a new one today and I should get it by tomorrow. Fingers cross that this time it will be perfect. Good thing I will put myself on a ban after this. I'm so traumatized by this experience and I almost fainted when I opened the red box.

Anyway though I can definitely recommend 2 SAs from Cartier Dallas that have been helpful through this whole thing, I can also recommend who you should avoid. I won't write off Cartier Dallas completely, but knowing who you should see or contact definitely a bonus.

Till tomorrow.

xoxo

My 2nd Love is here!

She finally arrives safely after overnight FedEx trip from Dallas :D
I cannot wait to get home so I can get DH to put it on and maybe take some pics. My Love bracelets are now complete. I think I'm going to put myself on a ban for luxury items for a while.

ps. The price increase is totally coming in a week or two. The SA told me herself. So if you plan to get something in the next few months, may as well get them now.

Cartier Love Bracelet #2

is arriving tomorrow! Can't wait to take pics of them stack together. By the way I ordered another YG only because I cannot bear making my (future) daughter in laws pick one over the other lol. They will have the exact same one, one week apart :D (I know I sounded crazy right now haha..oh well...I know I'm giving them away one day anyway).

By the way this time I ordered from Cartier Dallas. I just refused to order anything from Houston. They were so snotty to me over the phone, so they are not going to get my money. It's not my fault we don't have Cartier here in Austin and my only option is to call. But when my questions bothering you, I really take offense. PLUS it's not a cheap item. Oh well...I'm happy now anyway. I'm not going to let anyone ruin my mood.

xoxo

Hmm...I dont even want to open it!

But I guess I should hey...I'm not even sure the size is correct hahaha. I ordered this from Saks Dadeland mall FL on Tuesday and I received it like 30 minutes ago.
I have this crazy idea that I should buy one more because I was thinking both of them will be my presents for my future daughter in laws one day. Am I crazy? The boys are only 13 months old! DH thinks it's not necessary but he didn't object either. But he did say, how cumbersome that screwdriver would be hahaha.

Update: OK, it fits. I of course unable to screw this myself but I put the 2 pieces together to see if they will cover my whole wrist and it did with small room to move (I was told that this shouldn't be too loose on your wrist or you scratch it even more).

xoxo

So I thought I post some pictures of me with the bracelet on. The first picture you can see I can roll the bracelet all the way down at the bottom of my wrist. The second picture I can roll it down to about 2 inches from where the bone is. I also can turn the bracelet 360 degrees but it does take effort which is good, that means I don't have to keep adjusting it. It was quite weird to have the bracelet on while sleeping but I think I'll get used to it.
