It’s a Beautiful Day

by //

We’re watching Cesar Milan. This is the best show ever! Don’t you wonder how he makes the dogs behave within 5 minutes? I’m trying to think of a good enough reason for him to come to our house and help us with Bella. Got any ideas?

This is what I wore today. We went to the park, though we were supposed to go to an art fair. They didn’t allow dogs in and we had Bella, so we went to the park instead. It was so beautiful out! I am loving this transition time of year.

How was your weekend?

Blue Dress

Weekend Wedding

by //

We had a wedding this past weekend. It was beautiful. The reception was on the Hill in St. Louis. The Hill is like a little taste of Italy. It’s basically a little town with a million authentic Italian restaurants, from gourmet to home cooked style. It’s amazing. The wedding had some serious garlic bread that’s making me want to make some of my own.

Anyway, some good things happened to me this weekend.

  1. Someone told my father-in-law that I looked like Jennifer Aniston!
    OK, so I know I really don’t look like her at all. But the fact that someone would even compare me to her is absolutely amazing! Ha!
  2. While walking around on The Hill, I got whistled at! Can you imagine! That has never happened to me. And Bob was standing right there! Craziness!
  3. I got to slow dance with Bob. Hubba hubba!
  4. Even in 5 inch heels, Bob is still taller than me.
  5. I had 2 of my favorite cocktail, the Shirley Temple. Yes, it’s non-alcoholic. What can I say!
  6. Got 2 free meals!

So, how was your weekend?

Dress Up For A Night Out

by //

I went to dinner with a few of my girls the other night. Our standard uniform is jeans and heels, but I really wanted to wear this dress. I mean, it’s amazing! I got it to wear to my sister-in-laws wedding last November in Sarasota, FL. Hello destination wedding! In case you’re wondering, it was amazing!

But I digress. I forced all the girls to dress up and I’m so glad I did.

Doesn’t everyone look great! These are my friends from left to right: Allie, me, Anna, and Gertrude.

Dinner was amazing. Yummy salad and soup and fried spinach! I love good food! Seriously!

Anthropologie Dress

Target Heels

In other news, I tried on the New York and Co. outfit that I talked about and it was pretty cute with a belt on. But, unfortunately, I think I’d only wear those two pieces together and never separated from each other. I just don’t think they’d look good. So, I put them back and walked away. Darn. But I did find some things to put on my birthday wish list! I’ll share them with you soon!

Dress: Anthropologie
Heels: Target (look alike #1 #2 #3)
