OOTN Girls' Night In

Went over to a girl friend's house Saturday night for a wonderful night of great food, wine and company. It's a good thing I wore a nice roomy blouse - there was yummy cannelloni and chocolate fondue! Woohee.

Good hair night!

Anthro Bianka Blouse, F21 Skinnies, Franco Sarto Boots

 It's nice to get a little dressed up but still be comfortable. Hot topic last night - Elizabeth Gilbert's Committed. I didn't particularly enjoy reading Eat, Pray, Love (although I enjoy the movie).  Committed is a compelling read for anyone considering marriage, engaged, married, divorced, what have you.

I am really enjoying Anne Hathaway and James Franco hosting the Oscars. They have great chemistry.
Not really digging Anne's big hair extension thingies, though. I had mixed feelings about True Grit, but Hailee Steinfeld - how fresh and pretty is she?! How age appropriate, gasp!

OOTN Date Night

Anthro Thrush Song blouse, F21 Skinnies, Rebecca Minkoff Mini Mini in Moss, Franco Sarto Pacaya boots

Here's what I wore for date night, Saturday night with the husband. I've had my eye on this Anthro blouse but was not going to pay full price. I pounced when it went on sale. Dinner at Sel de la Terre, followed by True Grit at the movies. It's nice to be able to enjoy your dinner without shoveling your food down, which is what we usually do. It isn't that we need time away from our child, it's that we need to enjoy one another not just as parents, but as husband and wife. Breathe, pause, reconnect.

 Goal for the week:
Make a meal plan for the week and have dinner cooked or ready to be heated up every night of the week. No buying lunch at work either!
