the neutral roundup

Some fashion fun for this hump day...thinking daydreaming about some neutral items I would love to add to my wardrobe this spring... 

{hey, my throat hurts too badly to talk, I can't taste or smell anything...as in anything...as in even Mills' stinky diapers anything...so what's a girl to do other than "window" shop, right? Well other than take care of a little toddling man and change the aforementioned diapers. Ok, I digress...}

:)

Louboutin Simple 85 Pumps...really, who can resist? (except those of us that are on a resident's salary, ha!)

Well hello, beautiful! I'd love to take you to the beach!

saks

ps, it cracks me up that saks says, about this tote, "DUE TO HIGH DEMAND, A CUSTOMER MAY ORDER NO MORE THAN 3 UNITS OF THIS ITEM EVERY THIRTY DAYS."  Darn it, I guess I'm out of luck. ;)

Love this ruffle trench from Tibi, for those cool spring days...

Anthropologie doesn't disappoint with the following three, for everyday wear

I purchased this cutie last week at Target (still using my gift card, thanks MaMa!)

Unfortunately they won't let me save their picture {and I'm not in the mood to go try it on just to take a pic, sorry friends} but it is super cute - reminds me of ella moss actually. And I don't know why girlfriend on the target website is wearing a cami with it - you definitely don't have to!

Lovin' this fun necklace, less than $20, too!

These Alexis Bittar bangles {found at nordstrom.com} would look fab stacked up on your (or my) arm this summer...especially with a tan. However, I'd have to cut off my other arm to afford this many of them. Bummer.

love the shape and flow of this muted-tone dress...

Any nudie picks (in the cleanest kind of way) that you can't resist this season???

Dear Germs,

Please leave us alone.

Sincerely,

The Wallaces

I'm not sure if it's because I can't resist those wet, sloppy kisses from my cutie pie (Mills, not Nicholas...just to clarify), :) or if it's just the funk going around, but we are seriously playing a game of germ swap around here. After a couple days of feeling yucky and a sore throat, I headed to MUSC this afternoon...strep throat...awesome. I seriously need to up my vitamin C uptake and start taking my everyday vitamins again! {Don't worry Aunt Myra, I'm using plenty of hand sanitizer} ;)

It's time to get these Wallaces WELL!

Just some eye candy on this Sunday evening...

in the form of this sweet 14-month-old baby boy toddler...
when did that happen?!?

"hey mom, want a rock?"

precious little baby curls.

 I know, picture overload...but we were just having the best time enjoying this beautiful weather on Saturday afternoon!

and I just love that face.

 

 

Hope this face provides some cheer for those end-of-weekend blues! :) I know it does for us!

Happy Birthday, Gray...a little late!

So I just realized tonight that I never posted the pictures from my sweet nephew's first birthday bash!

 On February 11th, Gray turned ONE year old, and we traveled to Dillon the next day to celebrate this special occasion.

Singing "Happy Birthday"

{Mills saw that there was cake involved...his fav...he may or may not be MY child}

:)

Gray had lots of cousins to help him eat his cake!

Would you just look at those gorgeous baby blues?!?

Aunt Kelley sharing the love with Millsy.

Boys playing and posing together...

This is Mills' little laugh/smirk face again..and it cracks me up.

Time to open presents!!!

Anna!

I don't know who these crazy people are...

if he's your doctor, you should worry... (hehe, kidding)

Look at all the help Gray had from his pretty cousins!

Then it was time to test out the new ride!!! They took turns riding this around the house {I just happened to get the ones of Mills driving but Gray was a pro, too!}

{this is also where we discovered Mills' obsession with this "4-wheeler," which led Gammy and Philly to buy him one a couple weeks later...}

stinkin' cute boys

 High fives for Aunt Jesser!

Look how cute Jennifer is. :)

And this is the look I get when it's time to stop "driving"...not cool.

But we had such a fun time celebrating such a precious birthday boy! And sorry for the delay, Easterlings!

Also, the next giveaway will be in a couple of days...just waiting to get some photos of the samples from the fabulous Izzy Puddin'! 

See y'all tomorrow...things have been insane around here, whew!

Giveaway winner

As promised, I wanted to hop on really quick and announce the winner of the papercircus giveaway. I'll hopefully be back in action tomorrow, but my little guy started running a high fever today and after a trip to the pediatrician's office we learned he had his first ear infection. Poor little guy.

He's still playing away like a trooper, but has intermittent cry fests where he just needs lots of TLC and his momma. He only napped for a total of 30 minutes today (not normal!) and has been waking up two hours earlier the past two mornings (which is 7:30am...I'm not complaining). He started on an antibiotic today so I'm hoping he'll be back to his usual healthy self in no time! :)

In more exciting news, congrats to #23...

Molly from Stilettos and Diapers!!

I will gladly pass your info along to Andie at papercircus so you can claim your fabulous prize! Thank you so much to all of you who entered, and thank you for following along with us, too! I loved reading about some of your plans for your own children and family member's parties. And I also loved reading about your favorite Disney characters...from one Katie's "Thumper" fav to another Katie saving up coins to buy a "Winnie-the-poo!" You guys are all so fun!

I couldn't find the blogs of some of my new followers/commenters, so if I'm missing yours, please let me know...I want to respond to all of you! :)

PS - Speaking of "winners," has Charlie Sheen totally flown off the rocker or WhAt?!? Did you see his interviews? What a looney-tune!!!
