Clothing, Shoes, and Accesories I Bought In June

I had another month filled with some pretty great Amazon purchases, as well as a few other on-line clothing purchases.  At the request of Andrea I was much more intentional about taking photos of myself wearing the clothes. As always I'll be linking up with Tanya for her Prime Purchases link up.



Both my husband I needed a belt and after he ordered his EZ Click belt I decided to try one too (this ratchet belt); they are adjustable in 1/4" settings and work along the same principle as a zip tie (but with a release lever) so they are quite comfortable and grow/shrink right along with you.



Ian needed some new sandals and he just loves the fit and comfort of these Vionic brand.  They can be pricy but he is able to wear them without any foot/heel pain so it's worth it... plus I'm hopeful his feet might have stopped growing.



I ordered this adorable tank top and just love the front ties!  I did find that the hole cutout in the front sat way too low for me and had strings hanging out like a seam had let go so I did end up sewing that shut but wished I didn't have to.



I did end up ordering this top in another color; this time I chose blue!  I wore it for a whole day walking around Boston and with my new belt and jeans I was completely comfortable.


With the weather finally getting a bit hot and sunny I also ordered this tank top in the royal blue; I had a few cross front t's last year and I really liked them so I figured I'd like the fit of the matching tank too.


I saw this cute top on Andrea's Amazon round-up and decided to order it in navy. I just LOVE the sleeves and it's so comfy too.



I also bought These favorite jeans of mine from JC Penney that I ordered in a smaller size than usual!  I just love how they fit.



I've been waiting for almost a month now for this top to come in, and while I love how it looks, it's not very comfortable.  The shoulders don't stay down for anything but as they creep up the arm hole shrinks and chafes my underarms.  It will most definitely become a dinner/ date night top though.


I also ordered this top after hearing rave review from This Blonde's Shopping Bag-- I LOVE it! It is so cute and so very comfortable (on or off the shoulders!).


I tried another Amazon wardrobe box and decided to keep these linen capri pants. They are so comfortable and I just love linen pants for summer.


I also really liked the fit of the Lee jean capris. I decided to try them in black and love that the color goes with everything.


But my favorite was the super comfortable jumpsuit.  The fit was good and the fabric is so nice and soft.


I also ordered a pair of  these shorts from JC Penney.  I had the exact same ones in my closet in a larger size and knew I needed a smaller size but didn't want to sacrifice comfort by trying a different style or brand.  I had also been searching for these Rafter's sandals for a few years now and had not been able to find them anywhere.  I just love the bright teal color!

Favorite TV Shows Growing Up in the 80's and early 90's

Image
Do you remember the TGIF lineups on Friday nights? I can remember planning sleepovers and time with friends around TV Show lineups of our favorite shows... or else trying to set the VCR to record our favorite shows if we weren't going to be home. And through the years I had SO MANY favorites! Growing pains aired in 1985 which put me around age 8 and it stayed on the air until I was 15 or so; I'm pretty sure most people in my age group watched mostly for Kirk Cameron and all his antics.  I still have a soft spot for family sit-coms!  The Facts of Life aired when I was just 2  and stayed on the air until I was 11 so I'm sure the episodes I remember so fondly were either some of the later ones and then reruns shown later on when I was old enough to watch from the beginning. I think everyone would have loved an Edna Garret in their lives.   Benson another sitcom that began airing when I was just 2 and was done by the time I was 9 (another one I must have watched mai...

Things That Make Me Laugh

Image
I loved the challenge of this week's list for our 26 lists link up.  I don't know about you but I really need to laugh more lately.  It's such a great stress reliever. 1.  Books-- I love a good funny book that makes me laugh out loud.  I haven't read one in a while but if you have any recommendations I'm all ears.  The last book I can remember making me laugh was the Un-Honeymooners. 2  The boys being silly. 3.  Watching shows like America's Funniest Videos or Family Feud. 4. My husband.  Most people don't realize it but he's actually pretty funny and often makes me laugh. 5.  Whenever my sisters/ family get together and we get to reminiscing (particularly if my Aunt Elaine is around) we end up laughing so hard at all the old family stories that we are all in tears by the end of the night.  It's fabulous. 6. Movies like Mom's Night Out, Christmas Vacation, and Grown Ups make me laugh out loud. 7.  When my ...

Making Gift Card and Money Holders Using Scrapbooking and Cardmaking Supples

Image
I don't tend to keep a lot of crafting supplies on hand so when I saw this month's de-stash challenge I wasn't sure what I was going to make.  I finally realized that with so many of my Christmas gifts being cash and gift cards this year that I needed to make up some fun paper crafting/ creative ways to gift them.   I still want my nieces and nephews to have something to open so I pulled out my papers and stamps and made up some cute little money/gift card holders. They were much easier to make than I thought.  The first one I worked on was to hold some oversized Nintendo gift cards.  I made a standard sized card and folded down one corner of the card front.  Then I ran my double sided tape along the bottom an 1/2 way up the side creating a cute little pocket.  Finally I added some cute embellishments and ribbons.   Voila! A simple and easy gift card holder for those larger sized gift cards.  The bulk of the tweens and teens on my list j...

Making a Sugar Cookie "Gingerbread" House

Image
 Alec really wanted to try making his own gingerbread house this year without using a premade kit.  We talked about how we never really eat the house since they don't taste very good.  Years ago we gave up on the frosting that comes in the kit and began making our own so we thought perhaps we should try making our our house too. Only problem is that no one in the house likes gingerbread.  We talked about trying to make the house using a sugar cookie recipe.  Alec was so excited at that idea since he just LOVES sugar cookies.   He found a recipe online for a simple sugar cookie recipe and mixed up the dough.  He rolled it out an cut it to the size of our cookie sheets-- we had read that it's easiest to cut the house pieces out after the dough has been baked and is still warm and soft because then you don't have to worry about any of the pieces losing their shape while baking. I had picked out a simple cookie cutter set on Amazon and as soon as the ...
