I wanted to wish everyone a safe and happy holiday!  I hope that Santa and his reindeer bring you everything your heart desires.

Ho, Ho, Ho.....Merry Christmas!

Confessions of a Shoe Addict

Hello, my name is "My4Boys" and I am a shoeaholic.  Yes, I admit it, I have a problem.  I love shoes...always have, always will!  I blame it on my grandmother... She had shoes on racks, stuffed under the bed and hanging out of the closet.  She was a shoeaholic too and I spent quite a bit of time with her in my "formative" years and so began my fascination with shoes. 

That being said, I've added another pair to my collection.  I found these on ebay (New w/o box) and they are tdf!  They are J Crew Fall 2006 (the good 'ole days)...Spectator Mary Jane plaid and leather combo.  Check these babies out!

Speaking of the good 'ole days, the tartan shirt from the last roll-out reminds me of the J Crew of old.  I love it and I've joined a "pact" with a polyvore buddy to wear it once a week from now until Christmas.  Here's the way I wore it out to dinner last night.  Please excuse the weird expression on my face...maybe it was hunger pains!  :o)

Oh, the weather outside is frightful....

...but the fire is so delightful, and since we've no place to go, Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow!  Now for some of you northern or mountain girls, it's no big deal, but we get maybe one or two snows a year, if that...and never in December.  So, needless to say, everybody is very excited!  It's so pretty the way it's blanketing the grass and trees...I love it!  Even better, I'm watching it while sitting in front of the fire with a cup of hot chocolate!  Watching the snow, ordering J Crew (30% off) and playing on polyvore...the perfect day!  

And here's an old ootd that I've neglected to post...I think it goes back to Thanksgiving.

Give Thanks

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!  We all are so richly blessed and have so much to be thankful for...our families, our health, our homes...and the list goes on.  While a new sweater is nice, there are some things money can't buy...and it's those things that I give thanks for today.  I hope everyone has a safe and happy thanksgiving!  Love ya!

A Visit To The New Crewlet

My hubby and I went out to dinner to celebrate our 19th wedding anniversary...my how time flies!  After dinner, he...yes, I said he...suggested we go to visit our new Crewlet which opened about three weeks ago.  They had lots of sales...all sweaters were 40% off, outwear was 50% off, jewelry was 40% off, etc.  Nevertheless, hands-down, the best deal in the store had to be the bling-button cardi on sale for $19.99.  I picked up the light berry and seriously had to restrain myself not to grab several of them.

I also paid a visit to the Loft outlet, where I came away with this cute dress for $48.  I think it will be super cute with a tissue turtleneck from J Crew underneath.

And this is what I wore for the occasion...

OOTD 11/22/2010 and What Else...A New Pair of Shoes!

Hallelujah...No work for me this week!  I'm sure I'll pay for it when I go back but I'm living in the moment and enjoying my time off for now.

I had some errands to run this morning...Michael's had their ribbon on sale (50% off), so I snatched up several spools for wrapping Christmas gifts.  I had to visit the dreaded grocery store and also popped into Target for a few things as well.  As fate would have it, I breezed through the shoe department at Target and what to my wandering eyes should appear?  A super cute pair of leopard pony hair ballet flats!  Now anyone who has seen my polyvore sets knows I need another pair of hairy leopard print shoes like I need another hole in the head.  (It's a weakness)  Nevertheless, that didn't stop me...there they were sitting on the sale rack, calling out to me!  They were marked down to $12.48, they were just my size and the cute factor was off the charts!  I think it was destiny...I had no choice right?!  If you're interested, run to your local Target and check out the clearance rack. Also, they are available on-line (here) for $24.99, which would still be a steal imo.  They are by Merona and the style is "Maudie"

OOTD times 3

I'm playing catch-up again....here are a couple of the outfits I wore last week.  First up...this outfit goes all the way back to last Sunday.  I had to help out with the little ones at church....so that calls for comfy.

J Crew Tori Cardigan

J Crew Scout Chino in Fatigue

J Crew Embroidered Flowers Tee

Merona Pearl Cluster Necklace

J Crew Patent Tortoise Ballet Flats

Next, was a set that I created several months ago when I initially purchased the moss tweed pencil skirt.  However, at the time, I was still in search of the Flannery platform pumps.  Lucky me...I finally found them on ebay...so the outfit is complete!  The shoes are grand (I had lots of compliments)...a little tight in the toe but not so uncomfortable that I won't wear them...you'll be seeing these a lot!  

J Crew Dream Turtleneck in Nordic Blue

J Crew Moss Tweed Pencil Skirt

J Crew Flannery Platform Pumps

And the last outfit was an "all-out" copy of my friend gymrat's set.  Even the nail polish is similar....I'm wearing Essie's Steel...ing the scene.  :o)  BTW...if you run across these shoes (the flannery ballet flats) in your size, snatch them up!  They are so cute and I thought very comfortable!
