FRIDAY NIGHT...

Autumn on the Rise

Tuesday's outfit was inspired by a look in Forever 21...

I am not crazy with how the outfit came together for me. The beret was just not working that day but oh well...

Cardigan and Top - Forever 21

Skirt - Anthropologie

Necklace - From Turkey

Booties - Frank Sarto

Lace in Shadows

This was my outfit Saturday night to our friend's dinner party!

The inspiration was from this very old magazine clipping:

 I liked this idea of jet black tights under a stark white lace dress...

Added simple black rhinestone hoop earrings:

Lace Dress - Vintage

Tights, Earrings - Forever 21

Booties - Michael Antonia

Velvet Jacket - Bebe

SATURDAY NIGHT:
Had such a fun night with our old old friends. We thought about it and realized we have known each other since 1996 and started this dinner party tradition sometime in 1997! That is so long ago. Before we each kids, before some of us had married and before some of us had divorced! There is something to be said about friendships that go that far back. You just know each other so well and have been through so much and have so many crazy memories together. That level of comfort is hard to come by.
And here are some of the kiddos having dinner at their own table:

Later in the night and after the kids had a big slumber party sleep over (except ours who were spending the night at grandma's) and after many bottles of WINE:

And after 3 rounds of the 'catch phrase' game...
We started playing dance on Wii to Michel Jackson edition. After the ladies kicked butt we had the guys take a turn!

Priceless!

Touch Down

 This was inspired by such an old clipping. In Style's October 2010 issue! I figured i should wear it and get it out of my folder before it becomes 3 years old!

Wish my top had a bit lighter gray as this whole look is a bit dark but oh well....

T-neck - Charlotte Russe

Shorts - Forever 21

Boots - Steve Madden

Purse - Marshall's

Bracelets - Fossil, from Turkey, Target and gift from Friend

TODAY:
We left my husband's parent's house shortly after breakfast and took the 3 hour drive back home. Had just enough time to unpack partially, start the 5 load laundry process and get ready. The most fun part was there were 4 boxes waiting when we got home. 2 of which were more clothes for my sample line. I love openning them up, checking them off in my invontory list, tagging them and hanging them on my rack. If they happen to be size I get to try them on... The other box was from the printing company. I know have my business cards, order forms and invitaitons. I can officially start business.
I also got the box from Asos. I forgot to photo but I am loving the green skinny denim, the huge turquoise clutch and the gold double cuffs and the cuff necklace. Better than I envisioned them.
Final box was from PB teen my laptop lap desk with a cubby.
The afternoon we went to my friend's house to watch Superbowl. Given that I have zero interest in football, the guys watched the ladies chatted and the kids played their hearts out...

Here are some final photos of them dancing to Wii after the game was over...

Bye Bye Laguna

 This was my outfit today. The inspiration is again from a photo in a very old issue of one of the magazines:

Great combo to remix my red dress and the khaki blazer.

Dress, tights, necklace, shoes - Forever 21

Blazer - Gap (thrifted)

Going to be keeping my posts very very short for a few days until I get all the stuff I need to for my business.
