Sunny Yellow and Bold Blue

For many years I refused to wear the color yellow. I thought it was way too bright and looked too much like the color of my (highlighted) hair (too matchy-matchy and all). Finally, a few years ago I decided to give yellow another try and now it's one of my favorite colors to wear!


-Top-American Eagle (OLD)
-Cropped Jeans-J Crew Factory
-Cake Decorator Belt-Anthropologie
-Steve Madden "Fantasik" Wedges
-Necklace-Lisa Leonard Designs
-Earrings-Express
-Turquoise Bangle-Macy's
-Ring-Pree Brulee

On another note, I've been looking around for a bigger summer bag to carry (since all 3 kids are with me at all times and I need a bigger bag to hold cups, snacks, sunscreen, etc--especially when we go to the park) and finally found one I fell in love with. I met up with my old college roommie a few weeks ago and she was carrying the cutest bag so I asked her where she got it...and she told me "Handbag Heaven"! I totally copy-catted her and got the same bag (different color though) so thanks for the tip Heather! I think I got the last one because as soon as I bought it the product page listed it as "Sold Out". That was lucky! Here's my 2011 Summer "Out and about with the kids" bag:



The color is SOOOO amazing in real life...so bold! What do you think?

Well, I'm off to bed. Hope you all have a great Thursday!!!

PS--This is totally random, but do you Pinterest? I could spend hours on there....so many cool things to look at!!! It's so fun!

    That bag looks fantastic, Jenni. The teal color seems to suit you and it is definitely large enough to hold lots of goodies. I am also a fan of big bags -- I can only imagine how large my purses will be once I have to tote kiddie things around, along with all my usual junk!

    And your hair looks so cute in this picture. i can't remember if I've seen it straight before, but you look great!

    I was the exact same way about yellow - and orange for that matter. Now I am loving both!

    I've never Pinterest'd yet - I don't know if I need ANOTHER online addiction!
