oh monday, how i tolerate you so. well, today is looking a little brighter and so very comfortable thanks to these uber chic kitten heels! full disclosure: i'm a "nothing under 4 inches unless they're sneakers" kinda gal, but these cute little kitties have won me over. and best yet, i don't even have to suffer for the sake of fashion! not today anyways. Ukies is all about comfort without having to sacrifice style and i think they might have just hit the mark. honestly, i've surprised myself with how often i've worn these guys. even running around with the kids, i'm totally good to go for the whole day. head to their site for full deets on their patented nanoGel technology, 1 year warranty (say what?) and all the chic styles they have to offer!! i'm really kindof obsessing over the Audrey in the orange nappa. such a great pop coming in to spring!!
on a side note, did you happen to notice anything new?? your eyes have not deceived you, my site is slowly transitioning over to www.MissTaraBelle.com. for some of you, i'm sure you're like, wait, wasn't that already your blog name? exactly my point! i have made the decision to switch over since most people know me as this anyway, so please bear with me as the changes slowly start to come. nothing too drastic, mostly just the url, so go ahead and update your browser favorites, because its about to be CFW and you know y'all don't wanna miss a second of my coverage!! have a great evening belles! thanks for stopping by!!
oh monday, we meet again. i have been cleaning all day, like ALLLLLLL day, its painful. and now i'm off to shower and pack because we are leaving "promptly" (so i'm told) at noon tomorrow for pennsylvania!!! the packing, i'm not so thrilled about, but the pa part, i can't hardly wait!! we have not been back to visit my family since last christmas, so it is long since overdue. i need to get a little burgher realness in my life, i've been stuck in the country for far too long. ahh, ok i'm too excited to really concentrate, so i'm going to keep this quick. i shot this look waaaaay back, lol, ok, i mean, like last month, but still, that was a long time ago! i am pretty obsessed with the turtleneck at the moment, plus, i'm super lazy when it comes to my hair, so the "faux bob" thing is really working for me. and i'm also loving just about anything in this a-line mini shape at the moment, so i paired the 2 for a monochromatic style. and ps, they are both from Old Navy who is killing it right now in the style department!! have i said this before?? i kinda feel a little dejavu happening, but on the real, it's been good lately. good gooood! i laced up these blush pink booties (on sale for 9.99) for a nude-ish pop of color. and since earrings and necklaces seemed irrelevant, i let my arm do all the talking with this major stack of bangles. to top it off, i grabbed this taxidermy satchel, that i'm pretty sure you know by now, is basically my 4th child because he's so handsome, isn't he?? and, just as a super bonus and totally in time for the holidays, he's on sale for almost 50% off, which is major!! ugh, and i went to the grand opening party last week and let me tell you, EVERYTHING!! i want everything!! somebody give me a million dollars, because this chick needs a closet full of python!! i hope you guys have a great week, and be sure to check back on wednesday! this week's "belle on a budget" is 1 skirt x 6 ways!! trust me, its gonna be good!!
i know, i know, i've been super lazy about posting lately. well, more crazy than lazy, but that's probably every moms life. lincoln is in the full throws of the terrible twos and maverick is about as big of an attention whore as his momma, so needless to say, between mothering/smothering/screaming at my 3 rugrats and trying (not so effectively) to keep an organized household. the blog has been coming second fiddle. i know i keep promising i will get the hang of this 3 kids mad house and blog on the reg, but it seems to be getting harder at the moment. i have just gone on a bit of a fall shopping splurge/spree so i am determined to shoot next week and get you guys some fresh layered goodness. today's look is pretty indicative of my daily uniform as of late. sadly my heels aren't getting much play these days, but if a girls gotta wear sneakers, they really don't get much more fabulous than python high top chucks, am i right?? i have seriously been obsessing over these bad boys since the moment they arrived in the mail, i mean, how could i not? do you know both beyonce and kylie jenner have a pair? in my best r.zoe, you guys "i die" literally, dead, on the ground, died. lol, ok, its not really that dramatic, but the creator of these guys is a pretty awesome chick, so i get a little excited by all the amazing press she's getting and it makes me feel pretty cool to be in the company of such epicness. so, yes, i am actually wearing more than just sneakers, but i get a little distracted by their beauty. i think i have officially bought every tee old navy has to offer at the moment, and this one is definitely one of my faves. the tunic fit is great for tucking, knotting, or just letting it hang out and black/white stripes are always a winner in my book. i'm still tying on my denim jacket every chance i can get, but my new favorite tie on is the bandana! i can't get enough, it's a bit of an addiction. i have this one in both red and navy, and i'm still on the hunt for black and white and maybe a gray. it might be my favorite accessory trend of the season. what have y'all been loving for fall??
ps. have you entered our giveaway?? there's only 1 day left!! scroll down for deets.
good morning babes!!! i am so excited for today's look because not only do i love it, but i get to show off my insanely talented friends work!! seriously you guys, how good are these images?? i had the hardest time narrowing down the pics because one was better than the next and i cannot get enough of the moody vibes. we were shooting for an upcoming project of his that i know will be amazing!! so basically, he needed head shots of me in my favorite restaurant, but since i don't eat (kidding!) i suggested we partake in my favorite food group, caffeine!! i love everything about a coffee shop; the smell of fresh beans, the pastries, the latte art, it all makes me a very happy girl. so The Daily seemed ideal for our little photo sesh. of course, he made me take off my sunnies for a few shots, which i wasn't happy about, but i was totally prepared for, so i went full on fall smokey shadow with a big bold lip. now, for my outfit, yes, there's a lot of lady lumps going on today, i know, but i kinda like it. i'm not usually a fan of the whole body-con look. separates, sure, but a dress can be tricky, especially when you've had children and the pooch is ever present. i will say, it is insanely comfortable. so i sucked it in as best i could for you guys and slung a jacket over my shoulders for good measure. i absolutely love this brownish grey hue, and i'm desperately on the hunt to add more of it to my fall wardrobe. i mixed up my metals with my shoes and accessories and even this antler clutch is 2-tone and i mean, die right? it's pretty much THE most perfect clutch ever. this look has me totally in the mood for fall, now if only i could look like this everyday?!
