Summer Weddings: Ensemble Une

Wedding season is fast approaching and we need to be prepared. I know how it is to suddenly realize that you have a wedding to attend this weekend and you haven't prepared yourself with what you're wearing.

Here is a chic early summer/ beach wedding option that would be perfect for that breezy ceremony to cool reception. You'll look effortlessly put together with a little Gucci and Pucci as you toast with champagne, and nonchalant when the bouquet falls at your feet and you pretend not to see it. ;)

I'll leave you with some words of wisdom. It's inevitable at weddings to hear some quacky lady feeling pity for the poor single girl and say "always the bridesmaid never the bride," which is when I kindly remind them it's better than "never the bridesmaid, always the bride."

It shuts them up every time.

But if you're neither, congratulations! Just enjoy a fabulous party.

RAIN RAIN GO AWAY

SO I CAN FINISH MY PAINTING PROJECTS!

It's been raining everyday for the past two weeks here in Florida. I think that might be normal but since I've never lived in Florida before, it's becoming a nuisance.

So instead of painting I went shopping.

Go figure.

At my local favorite thrift store they were having 50% off all furniture so I stocked up on a few large pieces and gave me an opportunity to get rid of some old ones of Craigslist. Double score.

I really want to finish those bookshelves as I am sick of looking at them with just the primer. They look so pitiful!

In beauty news, I purchased the Revlon Kissable Balm Stain and they are some POWERFUL little things. I got the color Lovesick which has a few purple undertones which are OK, but the pigmentation and texture has me wanting to try out the other colors.

In nerdy news, I also recently purchased a book called Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki which has revolutionized my mind. If you like finance and economic books that are easy reads, I recommend you pick it up.

That's it.

Good story, right?

Ugh!

I'm Alive!

Yes, I know you thought I might have been dead, but in fact I am still alive.
It was definitely a rough week as you could probably tell by my last post, but I'm back and ready for another beating!

Round 2

::ding::

What?

This is just me, hanging out at the gym ready to fight.

Oh it's not?

... Oh.

Well, let me get on that then.

Happy middle-of-the-week-it's-almost-the-weekend Day!

Rock it out!

Ever Have One of Those Days?

Ever have one of those days...

Where you need heavy retail therapy? ...

Like, serious Carrie Bradshaw can't pay her rent cause she maxed out her credit card at Barney's retail therapy?

One of those day where after that you want to go to the spa and get a massage, facial, a mani/pedi and want your hair cut and colored?

ahhh, I definitely need a facial soon.

One of those days where after the spa you want to put on your new shoes, new cocktail dress and call your girlfriends to go out... to some fabulous event and drink champagne.

Today was one of those days.

I, of course, responsibly restrained myself but do like to treat myself a little and it always makes me feel better.

Unfortunately, my girlfriends are miles away and do miss them dearly, but I'm glad that just taking a little time to myself and reevaluating things makes all the difference in making my day better.

Hope you're not having one of these, but if you are...
