Zappos | Poppy's Style

Off they headed this morning with a skip and a jump to the bus stop. It never ceases to amaze me how they both adapt to school so quickly. Maybe the new alarm clocks helped – but there was no arguing, no complaining and no whining. They were ready after 8 weeks off! So I now have a 3rd grader and a 1st grader – how did that happen?

Due to heading back to school today we decided to have a fairly lazy weekend around the house. On Friday I invited some of our fabulous neighbors over with their kids, for wine and nibbles. It was great fun – kids really are fabulous resources for meeting new people. The rest of the weekend was spent eating pizza and watching movies, with a few “Orange is the New Black” thrown in for me, once the kids were in bed of course! It was perfect – the kind of weekend that required no make-up and a comfy dress.

Dress – Asos (navy) // Sandals – Sam Edelman Gabriela (on sale)

After packing the kids off to school I headed back to the office – routines are lovely.

Trousers – Zara (old) // Shoes – Nine West Oslo // Cami – TopShop // Jacket – Zara (now in sale)

Yep the rain has arrived – it has rained since yesterday afternoon here and it shows no sign of clearing up soon. Sitting here on the 9th floor it feels like I’m in the middle of the rain cloud. At least I can at last get wrapped up and truly enjoy my knitwear:)

These jeans were cheap – just $22 from Target and they are currently reduced to just $18 – they are a great fit – though it is a bit weird buying junior sizes – I never know what size I am as juniors always fit tiny. These jeans however have so much stretch in them I ended up in a 5! I love them – the background of the snow leopard print is a soft blush pink with grey spots. They look very similar to the H&M ones I was lusting after and never found over here. The pink top is a Zara sale purchase and I’m wearing my favorite AllSaints Cerulean cardigan. Accessorized with Sam Edelman Louie boots in taupe rose and my necklace from Macy’s that I wore on our anniversary night out – the grey color is really versatile and works well with many items in my closet.

What did you all think of Dexter last night? To be honest I’m a bit sad that Debra now knows – surely he can’t carry on – unless Debra ends up on his table?

Homeland is DVRd for tonight:)
