</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I kind of feel like Valentine's day is the one day a year I can get aways with a "cutesy" outfit. This definitely not at the top of the cute-o-meter, but with its bright colors and polka dots, it holds it's own.</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-yqrYwk_enK8/Tzs0XDsd3nI/AAAAAAAABH4/3yJKWI9EKc4/s1600/006.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-yqrYwk_enK8/Tzs0XDsd3nI/AAAAAAAABH4/3yJKWI9EKc4/s640/006.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"> These days Dave and I seem to be living our days in shifts. Since he works a swing shift, he gets Charlotte going in the morning with breakfast, homework and then takes her to school. This Valentine's Day was no different. Charlotte has been obsessed with the "Cake Pops" infomercial lately, and when I saw them on sale in CVS I snatched it up. Dave helped her with making the little round cakes and then she and I (read: me, solely at the kitchen table ready to smash said balls against the wall) candy coated and decorated them. I think they turned out kinda cute. It's a good thing because I will never do it again. Until probably next year.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">After all the hoopla, she didn't even eat a single one. But, hey, they make great props.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I feel like she looks SO BIG in these pictures. Funny how sometimes you don't even notice them growing until you have them frozen in time.</div><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Isn't it great how a fun pair of tights can turn a tired and trivial outfit into something fun and flirty? All too often I find myself reaching for my greys and blacks to put together an outfit. I decided that I would try pairing my bright tights with my trusty neutrals to give it a little excitement. Mission accomplished.</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-DSikjKsfVlk/TyHy_va8vpI/AAAAAAAABG4/lGk7M2YeiIg/s1600/006.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-DSikjKsfVlk/TyHy_va8vpI/AAAAAAAABG4/lGk7M2YeiIg/s640/006.JPG" width="454" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Speaking of "Trivial", this weekend a friend of ours celebrated his 32nd birthday and I was totally strapped about what to get him. He and I have been friends since we were five and began our relationship when he and my sister were going to the same preschool and our mom's became fast friends. We all spent many a night getting to know each other as our parents played Trivial Pursuit late into the night. We are so lucky to still be close friends all these years later and often have our own game nights with he and his wife. Our running joke is that as long as we aren't playing Trivial Pursuit, we haven't become our parents.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I saw this original TP game at one of our local thrift stores and knew i had to do something with it for him. After pouring over the Internet I stumbled upon a clock made out of the board of a scrabble game. Originally I was going to use the board, but later decided that the box gave a great vintage vibe and made housing the clock mechanism much easier. I have discovered a new love for my glue gun, as of late, and that was virtually the only tool I needed to complete the project. You can find a clock making kit at your local craft store if you would like to try it with your own favorite game.</div><br />

Today I felt like I could step into 1978 without a second thought. From my vintage bells to my turtleneck and then my quilted Kimono jacket. My pastel jacket played nicely off the darker neutrals in my bottom layers as I had hoped. I think juxtaposition is my favorite accessory.</div><br />

For someone in the hunting business, I love the idea of searching nooks and crannies for beloved pieces to add to a prized collection. However, collections are also something that you should keep close to your heart and only advertise to the people who know your taste or who you have similar taste to you. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Once people catch wind that you are collecting a category of items, you run the risk of only receiving this type of item for every birthday, anniversary, and Christmas for the rest of your life with no guarantee that they are worthy of your beloved hoard.</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mJ6erRx0De0/Tx3JDrtwDRI/AAAAAAAABGA/7KwZSGWrUZs/s1600/hv2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="478" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mJ6erRx0De0/Tx3JDrtwDRI/AAAAAAAABGA/7KwZSGWrUZs/s640/hv2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div>Hoard is the word that Dave has used to describe my own beloved vintage collection and I have since embraced and adopted the term. Lots and lots of people know about my love of vintage due to my shop, <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/SiftedVintage?ref=si_shop">Sifted Vintage</a>, as well as my fondness of wearing vintage on a near daily basis.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">A couple of weeks ago a friend contacted me via facebook asking if I knew anybody that would be interested in some vintage pieces handed down to her from a former member of an all women's quartet in the 1950's...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It took me about 2.3 seconds to respond "YES! pick me, pick me!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I'm sure you can imagine my excitement when these beautiful pieces showed up at my door, all individually and lovingly wrapped.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">After what seemed like a year long Holiday break we are getting back to our usual grind. Charlotte to her homework and packed lunch and Dave and I to our usual Wednesday job as teacher's aides. Ever since I have been working from home, I have found it difficult to bring style to my everyday casual looks. I split my week between jeans and leggings and find purposeful styling a bit tricky. One effort that I have made in the last month is the thoughtful application of jewelery and accessories. I think that no matter how simple the items of clothing may be, as long as the accessories are exciting, the outfit can still look put together.</div><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">I recently scored a few great pieces of jewelery at Macy's during an after Christmas Sale. This giant snakeskin tooth necklace was one of them. I was a little hesitant to purchase something so ferocious looking, but anyone who knows me knows how my unhealthy obsession with snakeskin renders me powerless to make rational decisions.</div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"> Last Wednesday, I sent my girl off to Kindergarten. She is totally ready, and beyond excited to be moving on up to her "Big Girl School". Not sure if mama is quite ready, but I managed to NOT cry, anyway. Her favorite part, of course, was the bus ride home. That, of course, was my most anxiety inducing part. This anxiety was validated the next day when the school accidentally...(gasp)...PUT HER ON THE WRONG BUS!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
Not to worry, she just got the dime tour of the neighborhood and a ride back to school where I picked her up. I made record time driving home from work.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-T0qlf34A8Yw/TkyDI0XzXlI/AAAAAAAAA-g/kgOPTXbsVbc/s1600/Kindergarten+003.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-T0qlf34A8Yw/TkyDI0XzXlI/AAAAAAAAA-g/kgOPTXbsVbc/s640/Kindergarten+003.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Headed out on a jet plane tomorrow morning to celebrate the life of my Granny who passed away suddenly two nights ago. She went peacefully in her sleep and I guess that is the way we would all want to go after living a long and blessed life as she did.

Ive become a fan of <a href="http://fashily.blogspot.com/2011/06/day-20-of-30.html">the knot</a>. I think it is the perfect trick to give a so-so outfit a little bit of pep. Also, being a huge fan of asymmetry, this is the perfect way to throw everything wonderfully off balance.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"> My Dad was a Navy man for 20 years of his life. I guess you could kind of say it was a love hate relationship. The Navy loved him, clearly, as he retired as Senior Chief, and he...well, he loved to hate it. I feel blessed to have grown up a Navy brat. I got to travel to places all over the world, before the age of 15, that most people don't get to see in a lifetime. Not matter what my Dad tries to tell you, the Navy will always hold a special place in the hearts of me and my family for the opportunities is offered and the memories that it helped create.<br />

She loves <a href="http://www.lotsafunmaps.com/Monterey/Dennis_the_Menace_Park.html">Dennis the Menace Park </a>in Monterey so she decided that is where her party had to be. Unfortunately, we weren't able to get a permit for the weekend of her birthday so she got an extended birthday...can't say she was complaining any. Coincidentally, some of Dave's Texas family members were in town too so we were able to have Aunts, Uncles and cousins galore there to celebrate with us!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">What a suffocating breath of fresh air. The ability to pick anything in my closet without restriction.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Da5V889DwkE/ThfDPMoQ82I/AAAAAAAAA6Y/PL0JWmhTXDQ/s1600/051.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Da5V889DwkE/ThfDPMoQ82I/AAAAAAAAA6Y/PL0JWmhTXDQ/s640/051.JPG" width="496" /></a></div><br />
THIS is what it is all about. Discovering new ideas, experimenting with things out of your comfort zone, and realizing that having alot of clothes is not the key to style. It is simply the way you put your really great pieces together and using accessories that make them shine.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XacIn9QTVlo/ThfDqwoug4I/AAAAAAAAA6g/qLln2WqdZds/s1600/060.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XacIn9QTVlo/ThfDqwoug4I/AAAAAAAAA6g/qLln2WqdZds/s640/060.JPG" width="464" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Had my choices not been so limited I would have NEVER paired these two knit pieces together. The colors aren't an expected coupling, but I absolutely LOVE them together.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PvHCcitahwQ/ThfDb7Fp1wI/AAAAAAAAA6c/4nGsuc_7K9Q/s1600/052.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PvHCcitahwQ/ThfDb7Fp1wI/AAAAAAAAA6c/4nGsuc_7K9Q/s640/052.JPG" width="496" /></a></div><br />
Presently, I am taking joy in a job that would typically make my cringe. Cleaning out my closet. Now that I have survived these 30 days I have found that all I really want to have are the pieces that I LOVE not just like. This may cut out a good half of my closet but I am okay with that because I am confident in my new found ability to Remix to my little hearts content.

</div><div style="text-align: center;"> On Charlotte's Birthday (July 1st) we had an eventful day planned. I picked her up from my Aunt's (who had already taken her to see Cars 2 and do some park playing) after work and we headed to the <a href="http://www.beachboardwalk.com/concerts/">Santa Cruz Boardwalk.</a> During the summer they host a series of free concerts on Friday nights. This night featured a semi recognizable R&B band. They were pretty load and lively, just the way my girl likes it. She is a huge music lover to start and then when you put her in front of a live band, its all over, Charlotte heaven. Throw in a few rides and some greasy corn dogs and you've got the makings of an epic birthday.</div><br />
