Miss You Much!

Hello Dear Friends!

I had a second to look at my blog last night for what felt like the first time in years, and I discovered all your sweet concerned comments!  I just wanted to take a second to let you all know that I am just fine :)  A personal situation is preventing me from blogging at the moment, but I sure hope to be back soon.  I feel so blessed to have such thoughtful, concerned friends!  Thank you all so much!!  If any of you have sent e-mails to my PEMS account, I have to apologize.  I will definitely catch up on my e-mails as soon as I am able to blog again ;)   Thank you all again, your support means so much to me!!

Hugs & Kisses - Cali

Happy Weekend Dear Friends!  As you guys know I've taken up running recently and now I'm on the lookout for some excellent running songs with a 166 to 170 beats per minute.  I'm hoping you running veterans can give me some good recommendations.  I've googled online but haven't come up with very much.  So far the best that I've found is "Check Yes Juliet" by We The Kings.  I'd love to hear from you if you have any suggestions at all ;)

Hello Dear Friends!

Lately I've been organizing my closet for spring, as well as, running in the evenings so I won't have as many outfits for you for a little while.  I went ahead and combined my pics from last week and this to make up today's post and that seemed to manage it.

On the days I did happen to get out of my workout gear into "blogworthy" attire I found myself putting on a neon yellow belt.  Not sure how that happened actually, but bear with me because this may last awhile! Lol

Trend of the Month: Neon Challange

I am loving the neon trend going on right now, and am particularly in love with the color citron. (neon yellow ;)  So when Marion posted her neon challange link up, I said I was definitely in! 
I was hoping to purchase the JCrew No.2 Pencil Skirt in Citron in time for this post but the cost of $110.00 kept me holding out for a sale or promo.  (Ironically, it is on sale now for $89.50).  The color online looks a bit more yellow to me than the skirt that I tried on in the store, which looked like a neon yellow with a hint of green.
Thank you for checking out my contribution to the neon challange and please make sure to follow this link to Marionberry Style to check out the other participants!

H&M Jacket (Fabulous quality and no alterations needed!)
Loft Pink/Orange Shell

I had such high hopes for this new Loft dress but check out what happens below if your job requires you sitting at a desk all day!
That's right, the back sags out and creates a schlumpy butt!  No thank you, Loft I can get one of those on my own just by eating too many candies ;)

This outfit was inspired by Notes From the Dressing Room
Ann Taylor Blouse
Loft Sweater Jacket
Target Skirt
Madden Girl Booties
Steve Madden Bag
F21 Pearl Cluster Ring
So here is the long awaited Ann Taylor Petite Silk Camp Shirt
I have to say that although the shoulders are perfect, the sleeves on the other hand are too long and there is waaaay too much room in the body of the shirt :( 
Perfect color though, right?!
(For the rest of the outfit)
Old Navy Cord Trousers
F21 Sandals
Steve Madden Bag
F21 Ring
American Eagle Necklace
H&M Halter Vest
Loft Shell
Ann Taylor Skirt (Thrifted)
Charlotte Russe Studded Double Wrap Belt (Traded)
Bandolino Wedges
Steve Madden Bag
Vintage Pearl Earrings (Gifted)


The good new is that the weekend is finally here! Whoo Hoo  The bad news is my much awaited Ann Taylor order was a complete flop :(  Sizes were inconsistent and quality didn't equal my recent purchases from WHBM. 

So then the good news would be that I'm saving money since I'll have to return everything.  But then the bad news is I'll still have to be on the lookout for a fabulous silk blouse in olive or similar color.

Again, the good news is that Mr. PEMS is taking me on a shopping road trip to H&M Monday, but then the bad news is.....................nope, I got nothing.  That's all good!

Have a fabulous weekend Lovelies ;)
