Hello there! Today's going to be another quiet day. I'm going to run to Target, work out, read, and relax with Bob.
In the pictures below I'm wearing my Modcloth pie dress. I got it a year and a half ago, and it's still a staple in my closet, which is great, because I want to get my money's worth out of my clothing! So many of my B.A.I.T. shoes match this dress so well. I love pairing coral shoes with the dress. I don't have that many dresses/skirts that match my coral shoes (I have two pairs of coral B.A.I.T.s)

Hello there! Bob and I had a really good time visiting my sister yesterday in Connecticut. She moved to a different apartment in May, but still lives in the same town. She now lives in an apartment in a big old house. It really looks like it could be a quaint bed & breakfast. She lives in quite a pretty town. It feels like a small town, but there's a lot more things to do there, than there are in the town we grew up in. Her boyfriend had to go to NYC for work for the weekend, so he wasn't there.
When we arrived we got the tour of her apartment, and shortly after we left for a bigger town about fifteen minutes away. We got lunch at a restaurant/bar called Bar. I had been there once before with my sister, for drinks. We got pizza, which was really good, even though it was thin crust, and I prefer normal to thick crust. Just like at most pizza places in Connecticut, you can't order pizza by the slice. Actually in many states I've been in you can't find a pizza place to order by the slice, just pies, which to me is very weird! After that we walked to a nearby bar for a couple drinks. I liked that bar a lot, it was nice inside, and quiet. The bartender was very nice, too. Then we went to a vintage store, but I didn't find anything. After that we went back to the town she lives in. We went to a couple of stores and got ice cream at a famous ice cream shop. We got dinner after that in her town. I wasn't very hungry, so I just had soup and a pumpkin martini. The soup was alright, and the martini was excellent! I had never had a pumpkin martini before. We went home after that, and got home around 9:30 p.m.
In the pictures below I'm wearing my Modcloth Route 66 dress. Now that it's a little cooler out, I have been wearing my cropped cardigans with dresses and skirts all the time. I have quite a few of them, but I get so much use out of them! I love how they look with a belt, they really pull my look together, I think they're flattering, and it keeps me a little bit warmer. I actually just ordered an orange one today, which I'm excited about! It's a nice, vibrant shade of orange, and I have been looking for this Old Navy one for so long. I finally snagged one on Poshmark.com.

Hello there! I've had a great weekend. Friday night Bob & I went to my parent's for my birthday party. All my grandparents, and my one aunt & uncle were also there. Satuday I went to New York City for the day with Bob. The weather was just absolutely perfect! It was so sunny & warm, but not humid. This weeked has felt so much like summer! We went to a few stores, and had dinner and drinks at Sugar Factory. The only thing I bought was a Cat Studio New York dish towel. I'm not actually going to use it as a dish towel; Cat Studio dish towels are too nice and cute to do that! I have a few of them, and I drape them over tables and chests.
And then last night we went to a bar with my friend and one of Bob's friends. We stayed out late, got home a little after 2:00.
Today I cleaned the apartment, did laundry, talked on the phone to my sister, and ran to Target. Bob made my favourite meal for dinner for me tonight; tomato tart. Bob's family is stopping over tonight, too.
In the pictures below I'm wearing my pie dress from Modcloth. I love shirt dresses, I wish I had more!

Hello there! It's gorgeous out again today. We've had a lovely sunny, warm weekend; it's going to be 79 degrees today. Next weekend is supposed to be about the same, hopefully that forecast doesn't change to rain, since Bob & I will be walking around NYC next Saturday! Today is going to be a nice, relaxing day for Bob & I. I'm going to work out & do laundry, but other than that I think I'm just going to read & watch TV & maybe a movie. We've been married three months today!
In the pictures below I'm wearing my darker harlequin dress. I like my other one with the white background better, since it's brighter! No surprise there ha. My blue Ione B.A.I.T. heels match perfectly with this dress, which is a bonus, because not manyof my outfits match perfectly with these heels.
I adore the fit & look of the Pin Up Girl Clothing Jenny dresses so darn much! I hope they come out with more colours/patterns sometime soon, because none of the ones currently available are ones that I am crazy about. (Other than the three that I own.)

Hello there! Happy weekend! Today I'm going to clean the apartment and do laundry, and then get ready to got Lead East with Bob. It's finally here & I'm so excited! I'm sure it'll be a lot of fun. And the weather is just perfect today! I'm wearing one of my favourite outfits there. (Not the one in the pictures below.) I will show pictures from the event soon! I think they have clothing and housewares vendors there. I really hope so, because around here there aren't many places to buy retro-style clothing and housewares!
I had had my alarm sent for 7:00 a.m. this morning to check Luxulite's new listings. (Luxulite is an Etsy shop, where I get my brooches from & some of my necklaces.) I would never normally wake up at 7:00 a.m. on a weekend day ha. So, I ended up waking up at 5:10 a.m., and instead of going back to sleep right away, I figured I'd check to see if the listings were up yet, and they were already up, and a bunch of items had already sold! But, I snagged an amazing, colourful fruit necklace. It's so "me." I missed out on a Halloween brooch, but she's listing more soon, so hopefully I'll be able to get one then! I'm just the *teeniest* bit obsessed with Katy & her amazing creations, ha! It's worth it to get up early on a weekend, and try & snag some beautiful, colourful items. The reason the listings are up so early is actually because she lives in England, and it's about six hours later over there.

Hello there! Ahhh I am so glad that it is Friday & that the work week is now over! When I first woke up this morning I thought it was Saturday. That was rough! Tonight Bob and I are meeting my dad and grandmother at Friendly's for dinner. Then we are stopping my grandmother/great uncle's house to see my great uncle. Then I'm going to Target, and then going back to the apartment to have drinks and relax!!
Tomorrow Bob and I are going to spend the day in New Hope! Can't wait for that. We haven't been in a year! That's the longest we've gone without going there, since we started going there together. He first took me there in the very beginning of our relationship, about 5 1/2 years ago. New Hope is such a cute, artsy town. There's a lot of nice little stores and restaurants.
I'm calling this blog post "Minnie Mouse", because that's what Bob calls me when he sees me in this dress, ha! This dress was my first Hell Bunny item! My mom got it me this past Christmas. (I had picked it out.) I loved it, and was hooked from then on, ha. Hell Bunny has so many cute, retro-style pieces. Their clothing material tends to be on the thin side, but that's alright. Their prices are pretty good, too.

Hello there! It's another incredibly gorgeous day out! It would be nice if we could have a lot more of days like this in New Jersey. It's so sunny out, and going to be a high of 75 degrees, which in my opinion is perfection!
Today I'm not doing too much. I'm going to work out, read, and watch TV. I'm going to list another item on eBay, also. I started selling on there around February. I've sold a few items so far. I had never tried to sell anything anywhere before this. It's so easy to do, and so nice to make a little money on things I don't wear anymore!!
Yesterday I bought a few items for our honeymoon, like mini shampoo, conditioner, sunblock, etc. I also took some money out of the bank to set aside for paying our DJ. I'm trying to get a lot of things out of the way now, before we get really busy!
Last night I ended up meeting my friend for a drink at a nearby bar. I met her early in the evening, and I was home before 9. Bob will be getting back at some point in the afternoon. For dinner he's making one of my favourite meals, tomato tart! It's very similar to pizza. (And pizza is my favourite food.)
On Wednesday I'm going back to try on my dress at the shop I bought it from, and hopefully the alterations are perfect! And on Friday afternoon I'm leaving work an hour early, because Bob and I are going to get the wedding license. His brother is going to be the witness. It's exciting!!
In the pictures below I'm wearing one of my four house print dresses. All of them are from Modcloth. I think these B.A.I.T. Footwear heels match my dress perfectly! I love the bright shade of blue.

Hello there! Ahhh, one more day of work to get through! This work week definitely had its ups and downs. I do feel more comfortable there, in a lot of ways. But, it still can be pretty hectic/stressful at times!I try my hardest to seem calm while I'm there. But, inside it can be tough to feel calm. I just don't want them to see me feeling upset/stressed.
Tonight I'm working out, and relaxing. Next week I already have three nights in a row where I have plans. Tuesday night I'm meeting a couple friends at Panera, Wednesday night trying on my wedding dress after I had alterations done, (They re-scheduled it. I was supposed to go this past Monday.) and Thursday meeting up with some friends for a drink.
The first few pictures below were taken at my bridal shower! (It was almost two weeks ago.) The first picture is of my sister, Brette and me. The second is my mom and us. I love the favors that one of my bridesmaid's made! Pink and orange sprinkles in a cute little jar. (Shown below.) One of my favourite gifts was the rainbow checkered cutting board. (Also shown below.) I'm not even going to use it as a cutting board; it's too cute to! I've just been using it as a decoration. It's on my little side table next to the couch in the living room. I got so much Fiestaware!! And that makes me very happy. It's so beautiful and durable. And the orange is the perfect shade of orange! I got one red piece, too.
I also got a rainbow striped tablecloth which is shown below. I love it! It's so bright; I put it on our dining room table right away.
