What I Wore: I'm on a boat!

Your eyes are NOT deceiving you! 

I have an outfit post up. Woot Woot!

Yesterday was a little heavy BUT you all gave me some excellent feedback and I am glad that I could put into words what a lot of bloggers are feeling! Thank you for not being (too) pissed off at me and my opinion ;)

Saturday evening I got to celebrate the 30th birthday of my BEAUTIFUL cousin Jenn! We spent the evening on a Harbor Cruise honoring an amazing woman! I was so happy to be able to share in her special day! I made sure to dress UP for the occassion! I thought the Captain was going to kick me off of the boat when he sw my shoes! Haha. This outfit was chic and I felt good in it all night long!

I'm on a boat!

Neon and Neutrals

I am SO excited to participate in "Bloggers Do It Better".

It is actually the FIRST time I am linking up to anything in the blogosphere! Crazy, HUH?!?!

Thanks to my bloggy friends; The Frugalista Diaries, The Stylish Housewife and Real Girl Glam, for letting me know about this month's assignment, Neon and Neutrals. If you haven't read Pretty Shiny Sparkly then you can catch up on how to be a part of Bloggers Do It Better!

Since I am on my "first" link up day I decided to LINK up to Fashion Fridays over at Blonde Episodes too! She blogged about my man, Marc Jacobs, and since I am carrying my MJ clutch I knew it was meant to be :)

This outfit was actually inspired by Jenn's FIRST outfit (she wore two and let her readers help her out). I loved that I had a reason to wear my neon peach maxi skirt, with my electric blue heels and my neon pink clutch. I went all out with the neon (if you look closely my bra even joined in on the fun) and used my white top as my only neutral color. I like how the outfit turned out AND photographed.

Fashionista Friday: Kim Kardashian II

Any person that gets a 20.5 carat engagement deserves the Fashionista Friday spot, right? RIGHT?

(For the record I think that the ring is TOO big. YES, I said it. BUT I am a sucker for any diamond in an Emerald cut. SO CLASSIC.)

It has been awhile since I have had Kim on the blog. I have been somewhat bored with her looks since they all tend to look the same. She wears some incarnation of a blazer/jeans/leggings look for the day and a short tight dress for the evening. I have been collecting pics for months and have enough versatility of things that I like.

No matter what you think of the Kardashian Klan, Kim is a gorgeous girl with great style.

I love the printed mini dress with the belt to accentuate her curves.

The nude heels make her legs look long which is great since that is the feature she chose to show off. I also like that the dress is long sleeved since it is so short.

Kim looks beautiful in this Marc Jacobs dress. She is hardly wearing make up and her nails are painted nude. She lets the dress shine.

Kim doesn't wear shorts often. I love that she made this look edgy with gladiator heels and a studded off the shoulder top.

This basic black jumper looks fab with a dramatic, statement necklace. I also like that it is paired with $50 Sam Edelman sandals. I want to emulate this outfit!

Simple and chic. Black, white and tan is a great color combo.

The boots are KILLER!

This McQueen top was made for her body.

This outfit is fab.

Simple and Sweet.

I think she looks soft and happy.

BF jeans are my favorite.

 I like the feminine shirt and the peep toe wedges to make the outfit more girly.

This outfit was kind of unexpected to me.

Nothing really goes together yet looks amazing.

I would not have paired a drapey cardigan with harem pants AND a scarf. Yet it works.

My favorite look. I posted this outfit before, but this is actually a different day. Her hair and jewelry are different. I love when Kim wears her hair in a messy bun and I love her sunglasses. The plastic aviators look amazing on her. And I will take her Birkin.

Kim is a savvy business person and I respect how hard working she is. The girl created a brand that keeps on going.

I am a fan!



What I Wore: NYE

I have always found NYE to be overrated.

The last four years I spent NYE in with small groups of people that mean a lot to me.

This year I wanted to go out.

To dress up, have some drinks, let loose.

So we planned to see an 80's cover band at a local dive bar.

I go dressed up, drinking a couple beers while getting ready.

(little did I know that THIS would be my favorite part of the night)

We were going to meet our friends around ten pm.

Then it took over an hour to get a taxi...no drinking and driving for us.

We get to the bar and...its over capacity. Awesome.

So 16 of us spent the next hour in the parking lot, trying to get taxi's and head to a new destination, that NO one could agree on. That's when everyone decided to just go home. YUP! And then it took another hour to get a cab.

Did I mention that the main taxi service turned OFF their phones for over two and half hours???

We got home at about 11:51pm.

Turned on Ryan Seacrest (I am slightly obsessed with him), grabbed a beer and welcomed in the New Year.

And now I KNOW that I will spend NYE on my couch from now on.

Happy New Year!
