Anyway, yesterday was off the hook. Slept in, lounged around for a couple hours and then had the.most.glorious. late day lunch (later followed by 8 homemade chocolate chip cookies, but who's counting?). I know you're probably all, 'yaaaaaaawwwwwwwwn', but remember--we've not been able to do much of that for the past several months due to Restaurant Opening 2011. Don't get me wrong--we're super happy to be in the midst of the experience, but it's still really nice to get in some quality time. Remember last year when when the Chef and I ran the days with freedom? Outfit posts aplenty? Now we're just trying to get a full night's rest, comb our (respective heads of) hair and wear more than one pair of jeans a week.
*Digs through laundry pile on bedroom floor.* (only kind of joking)
On a serious note though: was closet diving last week and came across a pair of Elizabeth & James suede heels I picked up a few years ago around the time one of my cats got hit by a car and had to have surgery on her leg. It was a sad (and wallet crushing) time, but I kept the shoes anyway. Then promptly forgot about them in the midst of all the chaos (long-time readers know my cats are my family!). Serious jackpot moment upon rediscovering them the other day. Long live the closet dive! And the late day lunch...
As I was saying about the shoes....Uh, hello again friends.
Outfit details: Club Monaco-Silk Jacket (suede version here), Tucker x Target-Cami (polka dot),
Martin+Osa (RIP)-Grey Skinnies, Elizabeth & James-Heels, Alexander Wang-Coco (Rocco)
I know you're thinking, 'dude we just saw the bag. enough already', but this is the best
I have of a jacket close-up. Picked up on sale a few weeks ago at Club Monaco...
wait until I use it in my Grease tribute. Do you pick up that vibe?
It's pony-taillllll time!!
Speaking of which--what on EARTH is going on with my lid??
Use a comb much? Bid me good luck as I attempt to secure a half decent
haircut in the upcoming weeks. It's akin to death around these parts.
Remember my orange locks in March when the parents visited?
No? Don't worry--I blocked it out, too. PTSD

I love closet discoveries! These are great!!
Um----I LOVE those shoes. I think after posting this I might go closet diving with fingers crossed to find something similar. ;)
HA!!! That kinda shaggy tousseled look is in girl, at least IO tell myself that - bc I look just the same about 10 mins after doing my hair!!! ;)
xoxo-Glad you are back, and get to see the Boy more - it's the best right?!
Love your shoes!!!!
Those shoes are amazing - I'm so glad you rediscovered them, it's like a shoe renaissance!

Wait till you see SJP's new movie. I think she only brushed her hair once in the entire movie.
One of my besties is moving to Long Beach. Maybe someday I will get to come to the West coast and eat at Chef's restaurant. I mentioned it to my daughter and its on our list.
Ummm... I'm sorry but I just can't get past your shoes. They are DIVINE! Wow and wow!
Carrie, those shoes are freaking PHENOM. And I of course continue to have an unhealthy obsession with that bag. So. Pretty. Here's to hilarious outfit posts and eating too many cookies (something I'm obviously familiar with).

I like to think of my hair as "Alexa Chung"-ish. It's better than "I only have time to either get dressed or do my hair and covering nudity wins".
I LOVE unearthing things in my closet and those heels are fab.

I don't know where to start with this outfit. Honestly, Carrie. I've always been a fan of that bag...but those shoes are pretty bad a**. You stopped me dead in my surfing tracks.
What are you talking about with the hair?? Thank goodness you found those shoes, someone should have issued you a fashion citation for forgetting them for so long!
The ruffles on your shoes are to die for!! So cute!
THOSE EFFING SHOES! John and I did "linner" on Sunday afternoon with a glass of wine-easily the highlight of my weekend. Glad the two of you got to kick back, if only for the day!
I guess this means the shoes arent getting shipped to me in AL? Fair enough, you bought them and they look amazing on you.
I also would have had 8 cookies that is for sure. And those shoes. Holy Cow. Amazing. Ha.

BEST of luck! My last haircut was such a disaster I have been on a haircut ban for the past few months. Sorry. PTSD.
But I'm sure yours will go better!

Um, seriously?! I think your hair looks amazing! That last photo is HOT!! And don't even get started on those shoes...hidden treasure are the best! xo
even though your faux photo captions slay me, you look fabulous! I love that jacket; score one more for CM satin creations.
Hang in there. I know the feeling. Will be sending you brain waves in t-minus 2!
xxC
Loving this comfy look, Carrie! And hoorah for a little time to yourselves this weekend!
GIVE ME THOSE SHOES.
Even if they don't come in a size 5, and I am fairly sure they don't since I have freakishly small baby feet, I will take them and fill them with Dr. Scholl's sticky things until it takes up enough room to fit my baby foot inside.
It will work.

In LOVE with those shoes, great outfit. xoxo
I would have kept the shoes too. And you hid them...so it's kind of like you took them back.
I've been shopping too much lately and am thinking about taking stuff back. But I'm also thinking about just not taking stuff back and pretending that it isn't happening...
I love those shoes, and that bag.
What a gorgeous outfit! So sorry to hear about the cat getting hit by a car a few years ago! That's terrible! My cats/pets are family as well! Those shoes are so amazing, though, so I'm glad you found them again!
I LOVE those shoes. Really, I love them casual, but you could also wear them to something super fancy. What size do you wear? 7 right????? ;)
Gorgeous look, darling!
Love those shoes!

Could you be any more hilarious!!!! NO! I do not think so! hahahahahhahaahahah
"your lid" hahahaha

You look gorgeous!
Have a pretty day!
Kristin
Gorgeous look! The colors are some of my favorite tones and then paired with the tougher bag (which I'm seriously drooling over!) makes it a little unexpected- love that :)
And good luck with finding a good hairstylist- why on earth is that one of the hardest things in life to do? haha
Glad you re-discovered the shoes because they're AWESOME! Also love the silk jacket.

Especially if the time in bed is spiced up with a reason to have all the little naps ;)
