From the bad to the Phenomenal...

Sorry for scaring the bejeebers out of y'all yesterday...so I decided to make it up to you by introducing you to a new (to me) fashion blog that totally rocked my socks off.

Northern Style Exposure

I somehow stumbled on it through Instagram and I was instantly hooked, I mean just look at her collection of baubles:

And then I knew we were soul mates (c;

So I spent all day yesterday  a good chunk of time yesterday going through every. single. post. on her blog. Needless to say I'm a fan. Or at least insanely jealous of her purse collection. Same dif.

All I have to say is *MAJOR* girl crush up in here. It's a good thing she lives in Canada. Her closet is safe  for now  (c;

Merry Monday!

You caught me. I'm still a little bit in holiday mode. How did it get to be 2013???

And who is this almost six year-old and what did he do with my baby boy?!?

Don't even get me started on this little diva (faux fur already??? Heaven help us)....

We had a fantastic little Christmas with the fam in NM...

Went to the wedding of my baby sister...

And got back home just in time for a low key New Years...

I don't know about you, but I have been seriously diggin' the emerald trend:

(and you might also be able to tell that I'm slightly obsessed with wearing my new anthro necklace that hubbs got me for Christmas (c: )

Speaking of the Hubbs...BAR prep is underway and it is every bit as horrible as everyone says it is.

Just kidding, it's not. It's actually worse. (c;

I think that things will be pretty low key around these parts for the next few months...I might even do a real post tomorrow, miracle of miracles!

But I can never stay away too long, I miss you guys too much (c;

2013 is gonna be good, I just know it!

Doesn't that just make you want to have a girly day???

You betcha.

I bet you were just sitting around and thinking "Hmmm, I wonder what Aubrey has been up to lately?".

I know, right??? It's freaky how in tune my telepathy skills are. (c;

And I also betcha that if you are an Insta lover (like me, @allthingsbright3), that you already know what's goin' down in my part of china town:

Decorating for Thanksgiving with my newest Target score, I adore my $12 mirror...werk it, girl!

Apparently I'm a little Target obsessed as of late, because I also found these cuties there...*NEED* those polka dots for Christmas Eve, PRONTO.

Trying to perfect the art of outfit self portraiting (that can't be a real word...or a sane pastime...)

And I'm just gonna say that I'm obsessed, *OBSESSED* I say, with the burgundy/pink combo as of late...and my new Loft Polka dot pants (c:

And finding some more outfit inspiration on Pinterest:

Copying immediately.

And running this *awesome sauce* giveaway for $100 to KOKOON clothing boutique...

And I know you're just super thankful for the update, right?

You betcha (c;

Weekend warriors...

Ta-da!!! We survived another weekend! 

I know that might not seem like much to some, but I consider it an accomplishment (hey, my standards are low right now (c: ). 

We definitely squeezed in a wee bit o' fun in between all those sucky chores that always seem to sneak their way in...

Louis Vuitton knows how to *do it UP* with their window displays...the wee ones were mesmerized (who am I kidding? So was I, it was rad.) 

Sneak preview of Finding Nemo 3D (more on that later!) and how cute are their goggle shaped 3D glasses??? They even have little clownfish stripes on the sides (c:

A frozen yogurt break...

A little green on green...

And mama even got dressed in real clothes  dressed up!

Yeah, it's a little busy, but I'm kinda partial to it (c:

Blouse: F21 (I know! I'm shocked I could find something in there, too!), Skirt: NY&Co., Shoes: BCBG, Necklace: Banana Republic

What was your weekend filled with??? Hopefully not with ridiculously silly pictures like these...(c;

P.S. Did you win the Grateful Bags Giveaway??? Check here to see!

Loving...to the point of unhealthy...

All the reason I need to be convinced that I need some mint jeans...

How much do I think I need to recreate this outfit???

 I'll give you one guess...it's A LOT... (c:

I'm pretty sure my beloved Tarjay has skinnies that exact color right now...and I'm sure I can find something akin to that darling sweater...

But apparently, I need a different source for those flats, because these ones AND these ones are all gone!

RUDE.

Don't they know that I *need* them??? (c:
