I got my new shoes on...

I'll be humming the Paolo Nutini "New Shoes" song all day well sporting my first ever pair of Tory Burch Reva's. I ended up getting the classic black with gold, but I have a feeling my next pair will be the Suede Navy. I've been been huge into shoes, also enjoy a nice looking pair but never jumped on the designer bandwagon. Well guess what, that has all changed! I also have a feeling these puppies are going to be addicting. Am I right?

It's the Patriot's fault, why you ask? I'll recap why;

This is how it all started, The Pats do not play until this evening so what else am I to do, I cleaned the house, laundry, did food shopping and went for a long run yesterday. Besides going to the gym or doing work I was out of idea's. I am trying to rest my hip as I over did it the last two days and it is killing me, I will be sidelined even longer if I push it. I promised myself I would not do ANY work this weekend even though I did bring work home with me this weekend, I truly needed the weekend off.

So I set off to Natick Collections this morning because if I'm going to be honest here, I miss Metro West A LOT. I use to live out that way before I moved to the city and I just loved it. I've even threatened to move in with E and her Ladybuys! Sorry sidetracked... Anywho, I figured I would just TRY on a pair of Reva's. I only really wanted to hit up the Apple Store for new ear buds, if you follow me on Twitter you know I have headphone problems, it's my ears...they're too small for the standard Apple ear buds. SERIOUSLY sidetracked...

This picture was taken for a little guess where Kimba is right now... and of course E guessed it correctly! Natick Collections was the right answer.

After a hard day of shopping I was ready to get back into Boston, I would miss city living way too much, I always remember that when I get out that way. Kickin' it with my new shoes and some football, blogging and tweeting. Happy Sunday indeed!

Ohhh I almost forgot, I stopped into JCrew to take a little peek at what they had, I was more or less looking for vneck t's for RJ, which do not exist ANYWHERE, unless you are looking for an mens XS then Banana has a ton of those. SIDETRACKED should really be the title of this post, gesh!

I scored this super cute jacket for $79.99, very very on sale. I knew I had a gift card in my wallet so I figured I would get it, and it's perfect for work and winter. I went and redeemed my gift card and figured i would have to pay the difference, nope I still have $125 left AFTER i got this jacket. How on earth did I have a $200 gift card in my possession without me knowing? So A successful trip if you ask me. It's tweed and has ruffles, what more could you ask for?

Oh and while driving on the Pike coming home some stooge gave me the finger. How's bout them apples.

That's all folks!

My two picks...

I am going to go ahead and try my luck at a pair of Uggs with a Burberry tote on my arm.

I wore my winter boots all day while I was running around from store to store and I don't need to replace them yet, they're as good as new so I would be getting the Bean Boots just because I "wanted" them.

I also have a good black purse and I think the Burberry tote would be a fun add to my bag collection. And I showed Music Guy both of them and didn't like the kate. Not sure how on earth he couldn't like it.

Thank you all for your help, it was fun to read what you're picks would be! I'll let you know what I think when my purchases arrive. I will let you all say I told you so if I regreat not getting the kate spade purse! :)

Purse-onal choice

I'm going to get one of these two purses, but I'm not sure exactly which one, a little help would be wonderful!


kate spade medium shopper
Burberry Haymarket tote

I am thinking about the Burberry, what do you think?

Ok i too am not able to add a title.

I will do my holiday recap this evening, nothing crazy so don't worry I'm not holding out!

I do have a question for my preppy gals!

I need to find a pair of men's Nantucket Red Cargo shorts. As some of you know Music Guy is not preppy whatsoever. He owns about 3 polo shirts and is just not preppy. But after showing him a pair of the new Castaway shorts asking why can't he be "normal" and want to wear them. He said you know I would wear a pair of ACK red cargo shorts, I said do they even make them? He said, oh yeah I saw a guy with them on the other day. So I've been trying to find a pair online and am having no luck, can you ladies help me out?/! This is for a good cause! :) Baby steps...baby steps!

I look like a tool at work with my really tanned read as red/tan/freckled skin. About 10 people (no joke) have commented. I'm thinking, hey I spent six freakin' days on either a boat or the beach what the hell do you expect. I don't look like a lobster, I look like I just had a vacation, what is so wrong with that, sorry if you're jealous. Ok now that I have that out of the way.

I'll be back later with a full recap!

Happy to hear all of you had a wonderful 4th! And Suz had a wonderful birthday!!!

Got my new shoes on....

There comes a time in every girls life where you'll forget your running shoes and walk your butt to the down town crossing City Sports where the smell is of street meat vendors in the hot muggy June sun just to buy a new pair of kicks so you don't miss your daily workout.....

Da Da

My fave beach meets NYC gal Suz is looking for a new beach bag, and I am here to help!

Now this little number would be perfect you can store your snacks and icy cold drinks right in the pockets! And there is enough room for a towel and frisbee (which doubles as a plate my friend)

Moving right along, we're keeping with the beverage storage theme. A nice light color for those hot Hampton days!

For the Pink and Green in us!

And now to my all time fave, it's lined in plastic...it's like a cooler but way cuter!

Well Suz, I hope that helped!!!!

xo,
K

If you're still confused, I think the vv Tisbury tote looks like a diaper bag...and she is thinking of getting it! gez!

Stop bitching about the f'in rain

Is what I just told Music Guy. Though it is nuts outside here in Chuck-town, our house is moving I swear!

It's a great feeling knowing I'm on vacation tomorrow. The weekend was all around pretty good!

Friday night we went to JJ and G's to watch the Sox game on their very nice 50" flat screen. Sox, burgers and beer is a wonderful way to kick off a holiday weekend. Saturday I finally got my hair highlighted please read as bleached. It was nice going on a Saturday, I could roll right out of bed hit store 24 for a water hence the burgers and beers the night before and stroll right to the spa 2 minutes from my house. It was wonderful, it takes a long time to get my hair done so if i'm going to spend 2 and a half hours on a Saturday I better get something more out of it. She washed my hair for a good 15 minutes, that was worth the money right there.

We had a 50th birthday party for a gal Music Guy works with at The Swan in Kendall Square, it use to be the Kendall Cafe for those of you who lived in Cambridge (E and Mr. P i'm sure know of it). They had the placed rented out so it was a great time. I finally got to meet Music Guy's boss' wife who was just as wonderful as her husband. Then it was back home to watch the stupidest SNL, it really could not have gotten any worse. MG's parents stayed with us as they were in the city for a wedding. So I got some good wedding detail updates from his mom.

That brings us to today...We went to brunch at the Warren Tavern, I freaking love that place the only bummer was we had a lot to get done today including the gym and I felt a little wrong throwing back a screwdriver before I hit the treadmill. Nothing is better with brunch than a bloody or some other cocktail. Oh well, i'm sure i'll have brunch again!

It was then off to the gym, but of course not before dropping into an open house across the street from us! I had a great workout, it was not as busy so I tried out a few machines I was until today scared of! This butt blaster thingy was off the charts, I can start to feel the pain, no tightening just pain! Then we hit Target to try to buy an outdoor table but we were going back and forth and said we'd revisit it later.

We ran over to Costco to see if they had any sets we liked and ended up getting a membership. I made us walk around the whole place looking at everything. It was funny as we didn't get a cart and this was a trial run, the next time will be the real deal. I found so many things I needed example: a package (75) of individually wrapped cabot 50% less fat cheese slices, who doesn't need that. Hell I'm from Wisconsin, it was how I was raised, hence the butt blaster! Music Guy was a fan of the box of 90 count Mozzarella Sticks (no wonder we found each other) and the package of razors that was a lot less then what he gets at CVS. I on the other had was very excited about the 50 cans of Red Bull, that will be making an appearance in my cart my next trip. Stopped by the store to pick up some yummies for dinner, and now it's time to just lay low with a Miller Lite and pray Chatham doesn't get washed away!

Tomorrow its back to the gym and then it's off to act like a fool while others are accomplishing their dreams of running the Boston Marathon. I'd really rather be doing what i'm doing in this crazy weather. And it sounds more fun! Don't worry Suz the first beer is for you!

Mark this date and time, the Boston Red Sox will play in and win the World Series this season! (Did anyone get in on the Jordan's furniture deal?) Happy they will stop playing the damn commercials.

Yeeehaaaaa...By the way head on over to English Tea and help my gal C with the notecard sayings. "Blow me" that's a new one!

small head...small ears....

Mrs P. over at PreppyChic blogged about Thin Headbands last week and after playing around with the headbands I have at home I've discovered I have a small head.

With that comes small ears...for the life of me I can not keep the iPod earpieces in my ear. Not even when I'm sitting still. I had to put this rubber ear thingys on them and that is the ONLY way they would stay. So now they are broken and I'm due for another pair.

Next comes what to monogram on my towels for our second bathroom. They have them on sale at Pottery Barn, a set of three for $11.99. The picture shows them monogrammed with "guest" I kind of like that idea but am trying to be a tad more clever.

We were going to go to the Cape this weekend to get away but something came up and we're city bound. This weekend is key to find something fun to do. The winter is starting to take a toll on me. I'm sick of it...freaking sick of it.

Anywho, after work I'm heading to Beacon Hill to meet up with Music Guy's sister and our friend Kate. Hopefully get our nails done and hang out on this sunny cold afternoon.

I got the book Bitter is the new Black in the mail today, i am SUPER excited to start reading it!

Oh and are Crystal Light on the go packs not one of the best things going?

Have a great weekend ya'll!

What's a Kimba to do

Do we like the pink?


Or the green?

Or do we like the white?

Come on my preppy ladies what color should I go with for the vv Cohasset Cord Blazer? I really like the green and white. But maybe green? Or would I get more use out of the white

JCrew 25% got me again, part 2!

I am going to wait and see which dress I like better for the engagement party!
Who doesn't need another pair of pants, and there were $14.99

Good god I have no idea what got into me that I feel the need to buy a suit! But this was also only $14.99!

Chloe help me! I have a wedding to save for!

JCrew 25% got me again!

I finally picked out the dress I am going to wear to Music Guy's sisters engagement party, well hopefully! I am hope I like it. It is a final sale, though you can return it to the store and say you got it as a gift. That's for the tip Sara. Now that I am looking at it i'm not sure i'm a very big fan, we'll see!

A from Fav Couple came over last night to do a little wedding talk. It was a very fun time, nothing beats a little wedding talk and some Chardo, from Trader Joe's to be exact. Then B from Fav Couple made an appearance and gave us his two cents. They both are avid All Things Kimba readers, everyone wave HI to A & B!

Not much on tap for the long weekend. My girl Kate is coming over tonight to hangout. And then its all about waiting for the Pats game. Giddy up!

What's up weekend!

You all HAVE to check out what my girl Chloe has added to her super cute line of note card English Tea Paperie LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!
I got the monogrammed cards without the ribbon, I really like both but wanted to stay simple, it's all about simple these days!
Now hurry up and get your own, she is giving a discount, HURRY!

Now that I have started my day with shopping on line it's on to other things.

Music Guy is out of town this weekend so it's just mom and me. We're going to go look for a new band and do a little shop talk. Maybe go out to lunch, I would love to go to the outlets, not sure which ones yet, but I think it would be fun! Then Sunday is the Pats game..woohoo!

More to come later! But I had to blog about Chloe's new cards! Sooo cute!
