Lilly's 1st Day Of Pre-School + Cool Random Things & A Winner

This week I got the good news that my girl made it off the waitlist for pre-school.  Naturally we came armed with the camera for her first day.  She really did so well, I was one super duper proud momma!  When I picked her up she was as happy as could be, and the teachers were going on and on about how smart she is.  So nice to hear that after keeping her all to myself the past two years, maybe I haven't been a total failure after all?

We have a couple of last additions to the bright pants trend outfits post that I asked you all to submit. Amber from Simple Dwellings whipped up a really great outfit.  I especially love the top!

And there's more: Gaby from The Vault Files sent over this beauty!

As soon as Chassity mentioned the idea of posting outfits of her readers I immediately created this outfit. I was still in The Island but soon taking a (few) plane (s) to civilization, so the idea of going out for a date night with my husband sounded exciting and the perfect inspiration for this outfit (something I would totally wear). I really like the golden details of the sleeves, necklace and heels, I think they complement perfectly without overshadowing each other, don't you think?

1. Topshop Three quarter sleeve Blazer

2. 7 for All Mankind Kimmie Jeans

3. Topshop Battered Sequin Sleeve Tee

4. Lulu Frost Vintage Crystal and Brass necklace

5. Alexander McQueen Platform Sandals

But that's not all from Gaby.  You all remember that she has that great jewelry shop, The Vault Jewels?  Well I was so touched to find a little surprise from her in my mailbox this week.  She sent me one of my most favorite pieces from her line.  Thank you, Gaby - adore you so much!

Let's see, what more fun stuff is going on.  Oh yeah, just this fanfreakingtastic trunk show collaboration that I REALLY wish I was in NYC for next week.  Both Marysia Swim AND Hunter Dixon are teaming up for trunk show with over 50% off Fall 2011 collection (IE CURRENT collection, not last season!).  Ya'll up there have got to go and scoop up some deals on September 22nd from 5 - 8!

And I saved some super fun news for last.... we have a winner for our independent stylist for Stella & Dot giveaway.  Congratulations Sarah!  You just won a $100 Stella & Dot gift certificate, which sounds like you'll put towards the Leona necklace.  Lucky, lucky girl!  Just send Annette an email at hello@baublesbash.com.
