Dressing Room Mishap

dress: c/o frock candy (same dress)

purse: c/o conversation pieces (similar purse)

 

or throw a tee over it!!

dress: c/o frock candy (same dress)

purse: c/o conversation pieces (similar purse)

gray tee: old navy

So...I'm currently obsessed with all the ways I will be wearing this dress! Frock Candy is def one of my new fav stores. I can't believe blogging has opened my eyes to so many wonderful and affordable shops!! 

you can bet your butt I'll be wearing 

this dress with tights and these boots soon!!

.................................

Ok seriously....

Isn't it normal for department store employees to knock on a dressing room door before letting someone come in inside?

Well... I was at Victoria Secret trying on some cute stuff for our honeymoon.

First of all...I sat by the dressing room for about five minutes before I had to go up to the register so they could track someone down with a key to the rooms.

Then...I was in there for maybe five minutes (yeah I'm one of those people who take forever!). I can hear one of the employees talking to another customer and sounded like she was about to open a room for her.

All of a sudden the door swings open and I yell out.

I'm pretty sure everyone saw me...the employee giggles and shuts the door. No apology...nothing.

Especially in a store like this...why would you not knock on the door first to double check?

Needless to say...I was getting hangry so I def let it be known at the register what happened.

Who wants to be half naked and strangers see you????

goodness gracious....

anyways...hope you ladies have a great day!!!

Like Whoa...!

For real...

the phrase, "like whoa", seriously popped into my head when I saw this photo.

because this is way too short to be wearing without jeans or leggings! Which I will be wearing when you see this on me next time!

Tunic: Sheinside (same tunic)

I love the little horses on this...I got quite a few compliments when I wore this on casual Friday to work! 

Close your mouth...

I wore it over jeans!!!

.........................................

And then I said, 'like whoa', when I saw this face...have I scared you away yet...plus the lighting was off?!?! However...I prob wear this shirt once a week because its soooo comfy!!

shirt: Conversation Pieces (same shirt)

even tho my face is ridiculous...don't let it distract you from the shirt! 

'

 .........................................

so...
obviously these were not my best photos...but are some of my fav pieces of clothing...so had to share!


anyways...I'll share the couple shower photos with y'all tomorrow...which aren't very many (sad face).

We boarded the dogs but since it was a holiday...they wouldn't let us get them until yesterday (double sad face). I really really missed them!


Hope you ladies have a great day!!

Fun Times...

 

photos: c/o Juliana Evans Photography
I was sweaty, my hair was matted down and I was really hungry!

............................................

So I had a professional shoot a couple weeks ago....

Featuring clothing and items from Conversation Pieces, Miss Chic, Blowfish Shoes, Rustik Chic, Francesca's Collections, Thorn & Wynn and Distorted Earth.

It was the most fun experience ever!

I contacted Juliana Evans Photography because I wanted some really great outfit posts.  I figured we would be done within the hour and get a few good photos for each outfit.

Boy was I wrong.

Juliana is so amazing. She came prepared with examples of how she wanted me to pose.

If I even had a piece of hair out of place...she fixed it.

If my boots had sand on them...she brushed them off.

She was so great at coaching me and posing me just the right way.

She made me laugh the whole time!

And by the last outfit...I was drenched with sweat and it felt like my hair was matted down lol. Somehow...she posed me and edited the photos just right...you couldn't even tell! 

I actually had no intention to write a whole post about my experience...but I couldn't help it...it was an experience I'll never forget!!

And here is Juliana!!

Thanks again girl!! You are the best!!

Don't you just love the auto correct on your IPhone?

I received this email the other day regarding my bracelets at Chloe vs Tank.

I was drinking wine at the moment and almost (ALMOST) spit it out!

Please read below...and make sure you don't have anything in your mouth :-)

"Love, love, love your bracelets but I see I found them too late and they're all sold out!!! How long til you testicles the Pink, Purple, Mint (3 separate Minis) leather wrap bracelet?? :)"

Whoa!

I knew right away she must have been using some sort of touch screen!

I constantly have this problem. Not with that word in particular but sometimes condom will pop up or some other crazy word!

That might have been the highlight of my day. Or maybe it was just super funny because I had already drank a little wine?!

What's the funniest thing your phone has ever sent or received?

And if you are the one that sent me this email...I hope you don't mind! Nothing but love! I just thought this was too funny not to share!

Another Friday of Out-Takes...

Obviously because taking photos is awkward...

I had fun with last week's photos so decided to do it again!

I promise...I'm not mad at the world.

What you don't see...is Tank being very spastic and hyper!!

Awe don't you love chloe's butt. Tank ran off so I took a quick photo.

Giving one of my main men a kiss!

It is FRIDAY and I'm loving it!!!

Let's jump right in to the giveaway winner for the PoochTags giveaway!

It's Elisabeth from La Vita e Bella!

Congrats...I will email you later today!!

............................................

So remember when I posted this photo on Wednesday?

See my nail polish? It is soooo bright but I love it! It came in my Birchbox for March. Sign up {HERE}

When I first saw this photo...I immediately saw how huge my hand looked (or maybe the weird angle). I do actually have big hands anyway but this made it look even worse!!!

I cannot wear bangles because they won't slip over my hand haha (thanks mom!)!

And then it reminded me of the sitcom...King of Queens.

Do any of you watch that television show?

We are always watching the re-runs!

Do you remember the episode where Kelly and Decon give them a painting but Carrie's hand and arm are humongous?

This is the only photo I could find but it's blurry.

{via}

I feel like that painting right now!!

oh well! I'll just have another glass of wine!


Are y'all as weird as I am?!

happy friday ladies!!

Let me just say...I had such an awkward week at work!

Now lets link up today with It's OK Thursday!

It's OK

...that it seriously hurts to sit on the toilet lol! My BUTT and LEGS are so sore from my NEW WORKOUT ROUTINE!! I need to stretch more! The sad thing is...I think this little old lady is more flexible than me haha!

via

...that mid day thru work I realize there is a hole in my pants. GUESS WHERE???? Right smack dab in the MIDDLE of my BUTT!!!!! Luckily I work in a small office and don't think anyone saw!!!! HELLO sweater around my waist!!

...that while eating lunch at work I SPILL chili all over my SHIRT. Ok...maybe it didn't spill...it FLEW out of my bowl. THEN...I take my water bottle and a napkin and try I get out some of the stain and my WATER bottle SPILLS all over my PANTS. Seriously? I swear I didn't pee my pants.

...that I walked around all day and when I got home from work realized my shoe had ripped! Hanging on by some threads!

What's up with all these clothing mishaps?!?!?! I promise these happened...ALL this week. Which was only Monday - Wednesday haha!

Let's hope nothing happens before 9:30 this morn. I have to go meet a client!

....................................................................................................

On another note...I was going thru old photos on facebook the other day and came across one of Eric and I when we first started dating almost 3 years ago!

And this one is from our engagement photos! awe kissy kissy!

Did I just make you gag from this mushi-ness?! lol

So this weekend I want to pick out our "Save the Dates". I'll keep you posted on those and which ones we decide on!

Have a wonderful Thursday!!
