From Frump to FabuMommy! Active Wear!

Happy Monday!  Mommy Chick and I are so excited about the fabulous weather today.  We typically go to the park on Mondays.  I'll probably try out that swing thing again today.

We like to look casual chic at the park, so we often sport active wear.  Sometimes we call it "work out wear," but that seems silly if we aren't actually sweating.

So how do you look hip rather than frump in your active wear?  I think it all comes down to footwear.  I don't personally have a lot of shoes yet, since I can't actually walk.  I mainly stick to socks.

But, you don't want to be like Britney at the Gas Station, so you need to wear shoes.  Check out this look from Lucky Brand.  And again, notice the feet.  The model is wearing yoga pants.  But, she pairs them with cute sandals and a sassy denim jacket.  You can shop this look here.  The pants are $59.50.

You can also do a legging with a cute little ballet flat, like this:

MC and I love all things sparkly.  She covets Mystique sandals.  These little flip flops will jazz up any pair of yoga pants.  They are $135.  You can order them online.  We think Neiman Marcus used to carry them in their stores, but couldn't find them on their website.  Let us know if you find them In Real Life.

That wraps up my series!  If you'd like to know more about any of our topics, leave it in the comments.  I've gotten some interesting reader mail I'll be sharing.

Two words, people:  Knee Socks.

We'll be talking about that toward the end of the week.

Our Wish List

This is a big weekend in my short life. Tomorrow my Guncle Chris comes to town for our annual holiday shopping extravaganza. The way Mommy Chick explained it is that we go shopping under the guise of buying for others, but really get a bunch of loot for ourselves. I'm already learning the true meaning of Christmas!

MC and I have been doing some pre-shopping this morning at Bloomingdales.com. She tells me it's always best to have a plan.

We both love our Juicy diaper bag, but MC would like something sassy to organize her stuff inside my giant bag of diapers, wipes, toys, etc. We kind of dig this Tory Burch wristlet for $155. It's just big enough for cash, credit cards, and lip gloss.

Mommy is also on the hunt for shoes. She gasped when she got an eyeful of these Diane von Furstenburg sandals featuring, gasp, peacock feathers! They are $195 and would probably be way too much temptation for my cats, the Pussy Brothers.

Guncle Chris is going to help style me for my upcoming air travel debut. We wonder if he'll like these Ralph Lauren croc-embossed flats for $60?

Poor dead crocodile.
