New Year's Style: A little glitz & some Tiny Swag

-

Aaaannnnd we're back!
Just like that the Holidays have come and gone ushering in a new year!
With a new year usually comes a new evolution of sorts and foresee a lot of evolving happening here at Carpools to Cocktails over the next 11 months! I can't wait to share all the fun things with you!
But picking right up where I left off (and because it's Wednesday) here's a few shots of my New Year's ensemble. I wanted something fun but not 'fussy' as we were going to be spending the evening at a friends home with all the kiddos. I needed some kind of glitz but not over the top glam & some definite sparkle. (helloooo it's NYE! You can't not sparkle!)

This sweater was the perfect middle of the road piece. Oddly enough, my daughter picked it out on our last trip to Forever 21. I glanced at it and she said "Ohhh, Mommy, it has SEQUINS. Soooo cute." And I was sold. Great selling skills that kid.

I have been in love with these skinny cargo pants s…

Light, Love & Laughter: Some Notes On My Rosé Birthday

At my age, there are few things that I desperately want for my birthday anymore. I don't ask for gifts save for the occasional gift card (they really are the gift that keeps on giving) and when asked about what I want my plans are; am hard pressed to come up with something specific that I desperately want to do. I mean the day spa is always a good idea though.
My birthday goals are to enjoy my day doing things I love, with people I love, laughing a lot and eating good food. That's it. 
The fact that my birthday fell on National Rosé Day this year seemed like a sign from the Universe. Gather those that I love for an afternoon of day drinking, game playing and side splitting laughter. I don't mind hosting folks at my home so long as I get to barefoot in the backyard and am not on dish duty. 

After listening to Addye's birthday wish I realized light, love and laughter were the unintentional themes of the day. 
My favorite days are the ones when the stars align and the Univers…

Bedroom Boredom

Our bedroom is super boring. Before you get excited - I don’t mean that kind of boring. I’m talking about the overall design. In our last home I loved our bedroom. We painted the walls and there were hardwood floors and a full wall sliding door allowing for a ton of light to shine in. Our current room is carpeted, still has windows but not the best placement. (see below)




It also feels like our furniture is too heavy for the space as well as for this place we’re in right now. The bed and dresser are a set that we bought like 9 years ago - one of the first major purchases we made as a couple. It was our attempt at “adult” furniture as before we’d always just had a mattresses and bed frames. But over the last few years I’ve felt the pull towards something lighter



Something more – not feminine, but something that feels more in alignment with where we are after 8 years of marriage. Relaxed and luxe with a mix of California cool but still full of life. We upgraded our mattress shortly after B…
