This was a little while ago and the only thing I can remember from this day is "ahhhh pedicure". Also, a kid about 7 yrs. old asked me out. So cute, he even called me ma'am. And obviously a gazillion compliments on my silver sandals... let me just say this... L O V E 'em.
Doesn't it look exactly like the House of Holland dress on the 2nd collage??? Love it! So what do you think about this trend? Have you tried it? Not for you? Are you willing to try it?? Tell me everything.
Skirt from Nordstrom.
Cardigan from NY & Co.

I actually bought that skirt months ago, and that was just the first time that I wore it. I really love the colors, and I think the blue cardi makes the blue on the skirt POP! This was an outfit for work.
OMGGG how I loved this outfit. LOVEDDD IT!!!! Super comfy and easy to work in [important]. The honey suggested I played a little with the umbrella, he was having more fun than I was. TRUST me.. LOL. The skirt can also be worn as a dress, so I might try that soon. I love the nude tone. I might give it a shot with a lighter top to make it more springy. Well, that's it for now guys, ciao!

I'm kinda bummed cause I reaaaaally, really want to go to Calibash 2010, but can't. UGHH!! Sucks! Please leave me happy comments, the thing's tomorrow, and I'm in depression here, hehe. Bye!!
Valentine's Weekend - Day 3
I know, always on top of things..talking Valentine's on the end of March (:
This is it. This was Valentine's Day!!!
Let me just say this first. THE HONEY WAS AMAZING!!! Are you reading this hun??? You were awesome. You got me a purrrfect gift, and chocolates, and dinner, and took me out. You were just the best!!!!
Saturday when I returned home from work.. you know with the horrendous cramps and whatnot there was a gift on top of the bed. Just for me, and just what I wanted. Awww.
Ok, I'll stop now before people start throwing up.

-shoes from bakers
-Michael Kors watch
In case you haven't noticed yet. A dress from Forever 21 and a pair of shoes from Bakers is the way to go. I made the mistake of going in the Forever 21 Mega Store to find a dress for Valentine's Day and ended up with waaaay more than one outfit. Thankfully I can wear all of them for work. Wheeww! A lady's gotta justify sales. Done and done.
I loved the color of this dress, and the simple, yet sophisticated look to it. It's kinda tricky to wear a bra, so I guess it's just for us ladies who have NO boobs. The honey loooved the length of it, as being that I'm tall, normal short dresses look extra short on me. NOT.MY.FAULT. We went to a little Italian restaurant and it was all perfect. Love you dear.
PS: You can check out pics of my makeup on this post here.
The dress was very wrinkly, so I was hesitant about pics, but honestly... how do you even iron a thing like this??? I mean it's bubble shaped!
Anywhoddle, you see that first pic up there? That's me having the worst cramps in the history of cramps. I had work that day [hence the outfit, and me being vertical] and thank God it was only for like 5 hours. I remember saying things like: "I just want to sit on a corner and die", "someone just shoot me on the face...NOW!"
Despite all that shizzle, I had a romantic bfast with the honey that day. We went to IHOP. It's turned out to be like our little tradition, either that or we just like to go every.single.weekend to stuff our faces, LITERALLY!
Before we hit Christmas again, here are the pics of my Valentine's Weekend. This was Friday Feb 12. We went out dancing/drinking. I let the lady who cut my ends play a little with my hair. I don't necessarily love it, but I don't hate it. I also got a mani/pedi and had my eyebrows done. Woohoo me!

I love those shoes!!!! They're extremely comfortable and just plain dreamy. I always get compliments on them. Ohhh and speaking of compliments that day as soon as we walked into bar #1, this lady came up to me behind my back and poked me. I turned around and she said "Excuse me, I'm sorry, I came from across the room to tell you that you look amazing" "You're beautiful, I love your dress". I just mumbled thanks, and when I turned... the honey's face was just PRICELESS!! We left after I chugged my sangria.
I did my makeup this day, and loved it!!! I kinda can't believe I did it. Don't worry I'll be blogging all about that soon!
PS: Have you entered my lovely necklace giveaway yet??? There's still time, hurry up. ENTER.
On the actual day of my birthday I woke up to this:
Yes I know they're just balloons, but like I said, the honey's not that type of guy. So this was the perfect beginning to the perfect day. PS: today, January 25th the balloons are still on that door. Talk about damn quality balloons!! LOL Ok, ok back to my bday. The honey had surprised me [he tends to do that] with reservations to a restaurant that we had passes a few times in downtown and that he knew I was dying to try.
He e-mailed me the reservation confirmation that they had sent him. This was on December 23rd during the day, which meant... 1) I started screaming at work... 2) I needed an outfit. Thankfully I didn't close (the store) that day because it would have meant no shopping for me. So being that I hate don't like shopping when it's crowded, and this was the day before Christmas Eve, I was a bit stressed. I ran down to the forever loyal, Forever 21, looked around, grabbed a dress, tried it on and $23 later I had my bday outfit.
I spent the day pampering myself, and by that I mean I went to get a pedi. LOL I needed it...badly! My feet hurt like crazy from the long hours at work, plus I was going to wear open toe shoes, which I hadn't done in forev, so I went there. I basically didn't do much for the rest of the day, not that I remember at least. I remember receiving one amazing gift, but I'll share those deets on another post.
Duck face for you.
I really didn't go all out with my outtie. I barely had any makeup on and my hair was just wet from the shower. I used some accessories that I had from a previous occasion [a formal ball] and my shoes were actually a birthday gift from when I turned 20. I love those shoes!!!!! Just wish they were a bit more comfy.
Here we are at the restaurant, the food was ah-ma-ZING!!!! The service, well not so much. We still had the best time EVER, I seriously love this guy, my birthday was AMAZING!! [Ok, for the people that don't know me or are new around here, I'm a big grumpy grinch, so he reached a milestone right there]. After returning home, I can't remember if we watched a movie or not, but rumor has it that I fell asleep singing this song...
So there you have it, my amazing, over.the.top, did.I.say.amazing birthday. Look for the next post on what happened on Christmas day...
PS: Thanks to all of you guys for the bday wishes that I got, a million thanks!
This was the day before Halloween, that's how old this pics/post are. I decided to dress up for work, just because. I had found that ah-ma-ZING! top a few days before, and obvi knew that I had to get it. It was around $16 or $17 at F21. It went perfect with my leggings that simulate acid wash jeans. That ring I had also found days before at Francesca's Collection it was less than ONE DOLLAR!!! [it's original price was $20] on my book that's a deal! I got 4. One black. a turquoise one, and a white-ish one, and got my mom one in turquoise as well, cause she rocks. The earrings are from F21, and I decided not to wear anything else accessory-wise, because the shirt has a LOT going on in the back.
I really do NOT wear tight clothes anymore, in case you didn't notice I'm a bit obsessed with oversized clothes [hence huge on me] and I felt soooooo weird this day. But I got like a bajillion compliments, and everybody kept asking me where I got my top and then no one believed it was from F21. Jajaja I really dunno why cause they always have amazing stuff.
ADDED: I just got home from work and it's past 11 pm, soooo I will be heading straight to bed [cause I have to get up early tomorrow]. I missed the VS Fashion show and that is a HELL OF A BUMMER!!! UGHH I guess I will have to youtube or hulu the thing, cause even though I've already seen a lot of the footage, I haven't seen the whole thing. Anywhozers, I hope everybody's having a great week so far. I will get to your blogs tomorrow *pinky promise*.
