Fashion Crisis: Averted
The Event: Wedding Rehearsal Dinner at Il Fornaio
The Dress: Cute navy blue and white wrap dress from Target that I can no longer find online to show you…my apologies.
The Mission: Find red shoes that are cute by neither too tall, nor too hookery (yes, that is the technical term)
Today on my lunch break I walked into Payless Shoe Source, and $16 later I am the owner of these lovely ladies:
How much does Payless rock? And if you want to know the truth I grabbed Taco Bell for lunch because I was in a huge hurry, and it was DELISH!!!
All in all, not a bad lunch break.
Monday Musings: Reason # 472 why people never believe it when I tell them I’m half Mexican
Getting ready this morning I was a little bitter.
After some vacay, some time spent at the beach, and definitely some fun in the sun, I wasn’t dying to get back to work on a Monday morning, but I found a little inspiration in my bathroom cabinet this morning that kept me going in the form of Faux Tan. As I was doing my makeup I thought to myself — “To heck with it, I don’t want to go to work, but I’ve been at the beach for 4 days so I’m going to go a little heavy on the bronzer this morning to give myself that ‘fresh from vacation’ glow.” And it worked. I felt fabulous!
And then I walked into work.
THREE SEPERATE PEOPLE asked me today why I was so white when I just got back from vacation.
Whatever.
I’m back to being Bitter.
Fun Hangover
So I just got back from another week in San Diego and I’m wondering how can I be homesick when I just got home?
Garrett and I were down in SD in March for a funeral, we are heading back in June for a wedding, and I just spent this past week there for work — it is slowly becoming my favorite place EVER! No matter what the occasion, it is always beautiful, and I am pretty much realizing I am in love with it. The fact that my cousin Jen lives down there and is super fun is just icing on the cake!
And I think this will clarify the homesickness. Yesterday I was here:
And today — I am doing laundry and getting ready to start the week. (I’d insert a pic but my super hot outfit and equally sexy hairdo might not be as relaxing of an image as above.)
As much as I LOVE Sacramento, is it any wonder I am a little bummed to be heading back to reality tomorrow?
