Hello there! Tonight I'm not doing too much, just going to work out and relax. I'm very excited for this weekend, when Bob and I are going to Adamstown, PA for the day. We aren't decided on the day, but it'll probably be Sunday. Whatever day we don't go, I'm meeting my friend for lunch, I think we're going to Panera. I haven't been there in a little while, so I'm looking forward to that.
In the pictures below I'm wearing my junk food skirt I purchased on Etsy about a year ago. I also have this print in a short dress. I prefer wearing this longer, full circle skirt. But, I love the print so much that I don't want to part with the dress! I'm also wearing my Mode Merr shirt I picked up at New England Shake Up last month. I think the keyhole design with the tie top part is really cute. I loveeee my new Rough Seas Design wristlet/purse, pictured below. I now own four of the wristlet/purses (they have a detachable wristlet strap and detachable purse stap) and one of the purses. I just received a bright pink wristlet/purse today, with an ice cream cone print on the front of it.

Hello there! Bob and I had a good time yesterday in Bethlehem. I got what I always order at Brew Works, Bavarian pretzels and beer cheese soup dip. It's one of my favourite meals ever. I've only ordered it at one other German restaurant, and it wasn't nearly as good there. After we had dinner and a couple of drinks there, we went to the Moravian Book Store. We looked around, but didn't buy anything. Then we headed over to the nearby casino. I didn't gamble at all, just had a couple of drinks. Bob gambled a bit at a slot machine. He's more into gambling than I am, that's for sure, ha. Bethlehem is a really nice, old German town with mom and pop little shops and restaurants, as well as the casino. It's an hour away from us, so it's a great place to take a day trip to on the weekends. Brew Works is my favourite restaurant in our area. We don't go out to eat much at all, so I really enjoy it when we do.
In my last post, I posted about my Moais in Space skirt, and I paired it with my lime green peasant top. This is another skirt that pairs perfectly with that top. I got this skirt for a steal a few months ago. It was $25 including shipping from Australia! It's big on me, but not so huge it falls off. It was more than worth the price. The print is just so cute and perfect for me.

Hello there! Bob and I are going to Brew Works this afternoon/evening for an early dinner & drinks. We'll also be going to the Moravian Book Store while we are in town. It's the oldest book store in the U.S.! They also have a lot of Christmas decorations there. We haven't been out to Bethlehem in about three or four months. When I was younger I used to have no interest in going to Pennsylvania. But, now the two towns we like to day trip to are in PA. There's also two other towns that my mom and I go to in PA a couple times a year, which I also really enjoy.
Next weekened Bob and I are going to a different town in PA, that we haven't been to together before, and he's never been there, period. I used to go with my parents when I was a lot younger. I probably haven't been in fifteen years. It's actually the "antiques capital of the U.S.", Adamstown, PA. I'm very excited to go! When my parents took me and my sister when we were younger, we hated it, it was so boring to us. But, now that I have a real appreciation for antiques (specifically 1950's), I think it'll be a great time for us. It's under two hours away too, which isn't bad. My parents go there at least a couple of times a year. There's just SO much shopping there that they stay overnight there often. There's also three breweries/brew pubs there, which Bob is interested to try.
In the pictures below I'm wearing my Oblong Box Shop Moais in Space skirt and lime green Pin Up Girl Clothing peasant top. I just love the colour lime green so much, and don't have enough of it in my wardrobe. Originally when I saw this top hit the PUG site, I didn't order it because the colour looked duller on screen. But, once I saw some bloggers posting pictures of themselves wearing it, it looked a lot brighter on them, so I made the plunge. I'm so glad I did, because it is the perfect shade of bright lime. I don't have too many skirts yet that match it, but I do have a few, including this one.

Hello there! Well, we are over the hump over the work week, so that's something. Friday night I'm going with Bob to a couple of stores about twenty minutes away or so. We're going to JoAnn Fabrics and Barnes & Noble. Saturday night we are going out to dinner at Brew Works. We had been planning on doing that last Saturday, but ended up changing our minds. I always love going to Brew Works, it's one of my favourite resturants.
Have I mentioned how much I love my tomtato dress?? I think I may have a time or two, ha...I got it last November during Bernie's black Friday sale. I had never really considered getting this dress before then, but all of a sudden a light bulb went off, and I realized I had to have, and couldn't believe I hadn't paid attention to it before! It's now one of my favourite dresses and favourite Bernies! Originally Bob was going to give it to me for Christmas, butttt, I loved it so much when it arrived that I couldn't wait for Christmas, and he ended up giving me a Bernie skirt for Christmas instead, ha.

Hello there! Last night Bob and I stayed in, and watched "Wedding Crashers". He also helped me start to sew! Well, I just sewed on a piece of paper ha, but it's a little bit of progress. He had bought me a book on how to sew a few months ago, and was encouraging me to read it. He knows how much I'll love to sew once I learn it, because there are so many cute fabrics out there, that I'd love to use! I really wish I would've just had my mom shown me years ago. Oh well, better late than never. But, for me when I read the book it goes over my head. I have to actually be at the machine doing things, than reading it in a book and then applying it. If I have any issues while I'm at the machine, I can always reference the book then. I'm very excited though. I hope it won't be too hard in the beginning. I've already picked out a pattern for skirts and two fabrics. The pattern looks pretty simple, and hopefully it is. Bob is very good at learning new tasks, so I'm happy he wants to help me. I am not as adept with new tasks ha, that is for sure.
Today's going to be pretty quiet. I'm going to read more of "The Martian" work out, and sew a little more (on fabric this time!). Other than that, I mostly will just will be relaxing.
As much as I don't want winter to come at all, I'm excited to shop for new decorations! Target always has some cute things for Christmas. They already have a tiny bit of decorations in the store by me, but nothing I have to have. Kohl's has more out, but I didn't see anything I really liked.

Hello there! Last night I went to Target and went out for a drink with my good friend. At Target I bought the book "The Martian". I've heard great things about the book and movie. I'm normally not really into sci-fi type books/movies, but I wanted to give it a try. I started reading it last night, I read the first thirty pages, and I'm definitely hooked. The main character isn't experiencing depression/despair yet, but I'm sure that will be coming. I can't imagine how terrifying being stuck in space would feel. I like that the book is funny, it's a great way to lighten up what could be a overwhelmingly sad book. I normally never buy books, I just get them from the library, borrow them from family, get them as gifts, or re-read my own collection. But, I just had an urge to buy this book. I'm sure I'll be reading a lot more of it this weekend!
I had curled my hair last night before I went out, but it didn't end up as nice as last weekend, when Bob was helping me do it. I had watched a Cherry Doll Face youtube tutorial, and then he helped me re-create it, with decent success. I'm posting a picture below of my hair last weekend. I'm not going to wake up earlier before work to do it, but on the weekends I definitely want to do it more, and watch more tutorials. I really need to get down pat how to add volume in the front, like in the picture below. Last night I couldn't get it right, so I ended up with no volume in front.
In the pictures below I'm wearing my Trashy Diva Atlanta dress. I just love red gingham. I have four red and white gingham dresses. I had wanted this dress for awhile, but it was no longer available through Trashy Diva, so I searched online for months, and finally someone was selling it in the TD group I'm in on Facebook. It was a size bigger than I had been looking for, but even so, the chest part of it is snug on me. I think this dress is quite flattering.

Hello there! Tonight I'm going to work out, run to Target with Bob, and just relax. Friday night I'll be meeting my good friend for a drink, and Saturday night I'm going out to eat at Brew Works in PA, with Bob.
In the pictures below I'm wearing my Pin Up Girl Clothing Lana dress I bought off of a Facebook group. I got the cupcake bolero at the New England Shake Up. It's too cute, and adds som quirk to the solid colour dress. The bolero matches with a lot of my dresses and skirts, so I'm happy about that. I had seen this fabric on Etsy a lot, and really wanted something made out of it, glad I finally did find something.
