weekend randoms.

just a few randoms on this wednesday...

had an awesome weekend of running, food, and friends.

after our usual saturday morning classes and errands, we grabbed some icees and headed to one of my favorite parks. i was a little bummed to see that the grass and hedges were so overgrown that it blocked some of the amazing views that this park has to offer...but it was still nice and we were able to shoot a few pics for this week's east vs west. the rest of the day was spent resting and hydrating.

sunday was race day (recap to follow), and while i normally rest and do absolutely nothing after my races, i ended up having a busy but equally relaxing day. i had lunch by the beach with a friend followed by a pumpkin carving/birthday party. it's always nice to catch up with friends over food and drinks.

pumpkins carved by the kids.

can you guess which one belonged to the mini-he?

hint: it's not orange.

the wedge sneaker.

there are some trends you just gotta have.

there are ones you can't see yourself wearing. ever.

and there are those you feel lukewarm about and wait to see if they grow on you...like the wedge sneaker. i actually liked some of the original sneakers that first hit the scene but wasn't willing to pay their $600 price tags. so i waited.

sure enough, along came JustFab's Keena shoe with a much friendlier price tag. now that i've tried them, i'm a believer. they give just enough lift to lengthen the legs without being uncomfortable. now, why did i wait this long?

are you a fan of wedge sneakers?

if so, how do you rock yours?

nooooo...where has mini-he gone?
i begged him not to look into the light!
stay tuned to see if he returns.

with kids, there's a lot of waiting around while they are at lessons, sports, and extra-curricular activities, so comfort is key. denim cut-offs + oversized sweaters is my go-to combo on the weekends, because it's simple and unfussy. and because i wear this quite often, i'll mix in different accessories to keep it fun...this time a trucker hat, spiked leopard shoes, and this bright green clutch i won in a recent giveaway hosted by jackie. it's the perfect size for an ipad, which is essential when you have lots of time to kill.

what's your mix for comfort?
