THE WITCHING HOUR

Ok... ok! So I've been totally MIA the last few months. Truth is, life got super crazy with finally moving into our new house, then throwing a party for 100+ peeps for my #BABYKStyle at the house, which meant I needed to get it ready and completely unpacked in about 10 days from the move. It was pure mayhem... then work got crazy and frankly I needed a moment! So, with that said I have a ton of updates coming up, but I really wanted to get this shoot out today.

I LOVE THE 90's

It's safe to say that I'm a true product of the 90's! Even though I was born in the 80's the 90's is where my love for fashion truly flourished.

Bomber jacketschockersoverallsAdidas,  Docs and crimpers were all in heavy rotation as I was growing up glued to MTV back when music videos where on heavy rotation and the Real World was the ONLY reality TV world to be scene. It's strange and fun and awesome that all these fashion trends have come back yet again. Fashion truly is a Merry-Go-Round!

MOTHER'S DAY BRUNCH

This past weekend was amazing. Weather was gorgeous, it was hubby's and our Thalia's one month Birthday so we literally spent all weekend celebrating!!!

On Sunday we decided to do brunch at one of my favorite spots in the city, Café des Architectes at Sofitel Hotel. It was a gorgeous day to eat al fresco and walk around Gold Coast. A little side note... my family and I are not big brunchers. Actually, I just had this conversation with a few girlfriends last week about how everyone's family dynamic is so different. Some kids and parents sleep in, others wake up super early and want food right away and then there is our clan...we always wake up and head to the gym! Yes, with our kids. My hubby and I are work out fiends...it's literally our sanity, heck I went back to CorePower Yoga this time a little over two weeks postpartum. We typically either get outside or go downstairs to our home gym, (perks of living in the burbs) and then have a quick smoothie or granola after. Kids are part of that plan. They literally wake up super early and go downstairs to punch the boxing bag, do sit ups, push ups and planks almost every morning before school. You may think we're nuts, but I think it's pretty awesome for my children to learn the importance of fitness early on!
