Wanna know what we did last night? We went to a minor league baseball game! It was so fun. They had lawn seats, so we brought a couple of blankets and hung out. It was so fun! Really reminded me of the Sandlot for some reason. I guess it’s because I love that movie and have most of it memorized . . . The Beast, Wendy Peffercorn, Big Cheif Chew, the list goes on and on.

Anyway.

Before we left, we walked outside and there was a double full rainbow! Please tell me you’ve heard that video? It’s pretty funny. But, it really was pretty cool. A bunch of our neighbors were out enjoying the view and taking pictures just like we were.

We brought Bella to the game and she made us so many friends! Everyone loves that dog. I tell ya, if you want to strike up conversations with strangers, bring a dog to a baseball game or carry a ukelele through the airport. (I’ll save the ukelele story for another time.)

I’m Wearing My Brand New Shoes

by //

Happy September! Hope you’re enjoying today. Hope you’re excited for all the fall goodness that lies ahead. September just means it’s almost time for the leaves to change colors and get a bit cooler. Weee!

So, if you follow me on twitter you would know that I got a great deal on 2 pair of shoes this week. I mean, these two pair cost under $50! Isn’t that a steal!

Pair #1

BCBGeneration Women's Kassidia High Heel Platform Sandal

I actually need some help! Do you think the top ones will transition into fall? It seems like I’m wanting to wear fall clothes, but it’s still so hot out, so I was thinking they’d be a perfect “not boot weather yet, but at least it’s dark” shoes. What do you think? I have not been a girl who has worn tights with open toe shoes in the past, but I’m open to a fresh start with these amazing shoes. What do you think? Would they work with tights?

Also, how long do the pants need to be that I wear them with. I understand how to wear them with skinnies, but what about regular pants? I think they’d work to be a bit higher because they have so much fun detail to show off, but how short is too short?

Pair #2

Jessica Simpson Women's Matine Flat

So, I don’t normally wear flats in the summer because my toes like to be free. Therefore, I thought these would be perfect fall and spring shoes! What do you think? I feel like they’ll be really versatile and go with most everything.

I’ve been wearing both pairs around today to make sure I like them and feel comfortable in them. (The heels are actually amazingly comfortable. I think I could walk around quite a bit before I get mad at them!) But I am not ashamed to take stuff back either. Think I should keep them?

New Shoes

Now, I’ll leave you with this song by Paolo! This song makes me want to buy new shoes everytime I hear it! Maybe I’ll just go put on the ones I just bought. Yippee!

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?
