A Tennis Love Match

I recently started tennis lessons in an effort to spend more quality time with the family and add more cardio to shed some baby weight. I’ve never really been much of a tennis enthusiast, but my husband has his entire life and he’s really good.

About a month ago he started teaching our four year old how to play and I figured I better jump on the court too and learn or they’ll leave me behind in the stands.

After a few lessons it turns out I actually like tennis, a lot. So I figured if I was going to really try my hand at the game I needed the proper gear and headed to Tennis Express in Houston. I admit I was a bit intimidated to shop for a racket not really knowing much about the sport, but when I entered the store and saw all the cute and I mean super cute tennis dresses, skirts and accessories, all my inhibitions flew out the door.

What was this? A sport I could enjoy and get to wear super cute clothing too? Why didn’t I discover this years ago. Needless to say, now I am a tennis enthusiast too.

My absolute favorite tennis apparrel was Stella McCartney for Addidas.  The Tennis line is so fine.

And then in no particular order, Nike has some nice dresses and skirts as well.

As well as Addidas, Ralph Lauren and K-Swiss

My Fall Must Haves

It doesn't feel a bit like fall in Houston, nor will it any time soon, but I've already got a few fabulous items on my radar. Since I am still working on loosing the baby weight I am keeping my focus on accessories.

In no particular order...

Marc Jacobs shoulder bag in Dirty Olive

I've been looking for a flat black boot for a while and this one is perfect!

A muted and lightweight scarf to carry to help with summer/fall wardrobe crossover.

Penny Loafers are the shoe to have this fall and I love this gray suede one. 

 

I love a crisp demin shirt for the fall.  My eye is on this one.

And for a more lady like look, I love this versatile blouse.

Where does the time go?

Our baby girl Sloane is now 8 weeks old and growning way to fast in my opinion.  I feel like I blink and she's already twice the size she was when we brought her home.  She has been such a blessing and has fulfilled our lives in ways we never imagined.

She has given us many smiles to cherish and brighten our days. 

We've shared a few cries and quiet moments too.

But cuddling takes precedence over everything else. 

Needless to say, we love every sqaure inch of her. 

Tip Toe Twins

Last week while we were out and about school shopping, we headed to the Premium Outlet Center in Houston.  When ever I shop there I always make a stop at the Tory Burch store to see if I can score some cute shoes on a discount.  This go around I found a beautiful pair of tan ballet flats with a black patent toe.  I snatched them up immediately and was on a shopping high when I left the store.

To make this purchase even better, the next day we were in Gap Kids and I spied a pair of black toe ballet flats for my 4 year old.  Of course I could not resist the purchase since they looked just like mine and like my daughter would say we were twinsies! 

First Day of School Style

Today was a big day in our house.  My daughter started PreK and did an awesome job at drop off.  She was very brave, not one bit scared and eager to learn.

She also put a lot of thought into her first of school outfit.  As you can see she was feeling sassy! 

A little Monday Runway pose for you.

Here is the sweet smile I saw all morning long.




Making our way to school.  The bag is as big as she is.




This is her "come on mom" look.  She was done with the photos and ready to head out.

Make a wish!

Yesterday was my husband's birthday and we had a casual dinner at home just the four of us.  It's a tradition with our family that we bake a cake for each other and this year we made a chocolate fudge cake with chocolate icing.  It was delicious. 

Check out the action pic below.  The baby's face cracks me up.
