Hello there! It's a dreary day here, but is going to be 57 degrees. Bob and I are just staying home today. We finished watching "Wentworth" on Netflix last night, and wow, what a great last episode it was! It gave closure to a lot of things, including what we had been waiting so long for, for the governor to finally get caught by law enforcement. The end of the last episode made it seem like there'll be another season, so I looked it up, and happily, there will be, although I could only find that it'll be in 2016, not which month.
I'm *hoping* to book our Vegas trip today, I'm all set to do it, but Bob keeps wanting to wait to do it. I don't want to miss out on the flight times we want though, so I'm hoping he'll let us do it today.
In the pictures below I'm wearing my Trashy Diva Green Kimono print Lena dress. When this print first came out over a year ago, I liked it, but for some reason I hesitated in buying it. When I was in NYC this past June formy wedding anniversary, I went to Enz's, and bought this dress. I couldn't believe I had hesitated in ordering the print! It's so bright and lovely in person, I even bought this print in a different style TD dress later on! There's so many colors in it, that it gives me so many different optins for shoes and jewelry. The print looks a lot like beach balls.

Hello there! Bob's working a half day today. I'm going to clean, do laundry, work out, and run a couple errands. Bob and I are going to finish watching the third season of "Wentworth" tonight. We just saw a couple of days ago that new episodes were available on Netflix. It's such a good, suspensful show. After season two, we didn't have high hopes for season three, becuase we figured where else could they take the show? But, this season has not disappointed. The governor of the prison is especially compelling to watch, and angering! She's quite diabolical. I'm waiting for it all to blow up in her face!
In the pictures below I'm wearing my new Bernie Dexter dress! Another amazing Bernie to add to my collection. I have to say Bernie & Trashy Diva are tied for being my favorite dress makers. Of course I received this dress right after New Year's, it obviously is the most perfect New Year's Eve dress! But, I figured I can wear it on New Year's Eve, my wedding anniversary, my birthday, weddings & bridal showers, etc. I even wore it to Applebee's last night to meet my friend, ha. I loved it so much, I didn't want to take it off when I got home from work & tried it on. The only size note, is that it's tighter in the chest than my other Bernie Chelsea dresses, in the same size. It almost didn't zip at the top. This is another dress I bought with money I got for Christmas. I love the color pairing of aqua & coral. My Erstwilder flamingo jewelry is just the perfect match as well. I had loved the dress when I first saw it online awhile back, but didn't order it, because at first I didn't think I'd really wear it much other than for New Year's. But, then girls that I follow online started getting it (or the one in black), and it looked so nice on them, that it convinced me to go for it.

Hello there! I'm so glad this work week is almost done! I am ready for the weekend. It's rough going back to full five day work weeks, after previously having two four day work weeks in a row! Tomorrow night after work I'm meeting my good friend for a drink. Other than that, I don't have really have plans yet for this weekend.
The dress I'm wearing in the picture below I received from Retro Glam this week. It's Trashy Diva brand. I hadn't been on the hunt for it before I bought it (it's been out of production for awhile now). But, once Retro Glam posted that they were having a great sale, I went on the site and looked at a few brands, including TD. Even though this dress is on the "dressier" side, and I won't be wearing it too often, to me it was worth it, because it's simply gorgeous!! I love the halter style, with the beads around the bust and on the straps, blue the color is so pretty. It's a softer blue than I'd normally wear. I'm definitely wearing it at Viva Las Vegas! The dress is super tight on my chest, and just zips. But, I love it so much, that I'm thinking of also getting it in the new wine color on TD's website. I don't want to spend full price for it though, so I'm going to wait a bit at least. I received another "dressier" dress this week from TD, that I also won't be able to wear it too often. But, before the purchase of these two dresses, I didn't really have any "fancy" dresses. I got the other dress for a steal, too! I've been doing really well with holiday/after holiday sales lately!

Hello there! Hope you all had a great New Year's Eve. Bob and I went to his friend's party, about forty minutes away, and we got home around 1:45. I didn't really feel like going out, but he doesn't get to see his friends too often, so I went (two of his good friends live about forty minutes away). I didn' t have anything to drink, and it's always interesting to watch others under the influence, when you are not, ha.
The outfit in the pictures below is one of my all time favorites. I love the pairing of it with y new green BAIT Idas. Before I received them, I had been pairing the dress with black heels. But, as is glaringly obvious, I adore color, so I'm always glad when I can wear non-black shoes with my outfits! I'm also wearing my new Heart of Haute cropped sweater that I got for Christmas. I also wear this fruity necklace as much as possible, which is a good thing, since I spent more on it than I've ever spent on a piece of jewelry. The print of this dress just can't be beat. A few girls on Instagram that I follow have recently gotten this dress, or the same Bernie print, but in the Veronique style. (The one I'm wearing is the Paris style.) I have a PUG oranges dress, which I always wear a lot. Just can't beat a great fruit print.

Hello there! Ahh, I'm so very glad to be out of work until Monday. I know the long weekend will fly by though, as it always does. I plan on doing a whole lot of relaxing! I met my friend for a drink last night, and tonight I'm going with Bob to a New Year's Eve party at his friend's house about forty minutes away. Unfortunately, none of my friends will be there. I don't really want to go, but my husband doesn't get to see his friends often, so I want him to be able to go and have drinks (I'm driving).
Two dresses I ordered with some of my Christmas money arrived yesterday! I'm wearing one in the pictures below. I adore this Bernie dress! I've had the skirt for a year, but am now selling it on eBay. I much prefer the dress. It took me awhile to finally order the dress, and I'm really happy with my decision. I find it more flattering on me, and I love the fuller skirt.
I also received a Voo Doo Vixen apple, strawberry & floral print shirt dress. I like that print a lot too, but prefer this shape to that one. I'll be keeping it too, though. I also ordered the Bernie New Year's print dress yesterday from Pin Up Girl Clothing (got the last one!), with a coupon, but of course it won't be here in time to wear tonight. Oh well, I figured I can wear it for my birthday, weddings, etc., so I won't just be wearing it on New Year's Eve's.
Happy New Year to all! Hope 2016 is a great one for us all!

Hello there! I've been having a pretty low key Sunday in, with Bob. I'm reading a book I got for Christmas, and it's really interesting. It's called "Into Thin Air", about a journalist's Mt. Everest climb in 1996 (true story). I don't know how people make the attempts at climbing Everst, they are MUCH braver than I 'll ever be, ha. Tomorrow's back to work for Bob and I, ugh. But, can't wait to get through the 3.5 day work week, and have another 3.5 day long weekend! One good thing is, the phones should be pretty quiet at work this week, as a lot of people have off this week.
In the pictures below I'm wearing the outfit I wore to go to Bethlehem with Bob yesterday. I got the cropped tie sweater and earrings from my mom for Christmas. I really love the earrings; my favorite colors! I had them custom made on Etsy, and then sent my mom the link, ha. I also love the sweater. I can definitely never have enough cropped sweaters, to wear with my dresses and skirts. This is my first time trying a Heart of Haute cropped sweater. I just ordered it in red from Retroglam.com. I already had a white cropped cardigan, but I wear it all the time, and it's not very good quality. It's the same thing with my current red cropped cardis. The blog post title is from the print of the dress I'm wearing, the dress print is called High Street.

Hello there! Hope everyone had a great Christmas! Mine was pretty good. I got to see a lot of my family from Wednesday-Friday. I slept over my parent's house Christmas Eve, just like every year. I got a lot of really great gifts; got everything I asked for. I didn't ask for pricey things, just a bunch of lower priced items, like books, jewelry, a pair of shoes, a cropped cardi, etc.
Bob an d I are leaving shortly to head to Bethlehem, which I'm excited about! We always have a good time there. We're going out to dinner & for drinks at Brew Works, and then stopping at a store at the mall on the way back, to look for Christmas ornaments. I've found some really cute ornaments at Boscov's the past couple of years, so that's where we're going to look again. They also should be on sale! I haven't been to a mall in probably over a year.
In the pictures below are a couple pictures of gifts I received for Christmas. I hope the Dita book, the Micheline Pitt DVD, and Suavecita hair products will really help me with styling my hair! I definitely still need help with that. I've gotten better, but not good enough.
There's also a picture of me holding my seven month old cousin, Teddy, on Christmas Eve. It was the first time I met him. He is such an adorable and good baby! He barely made a sound.
