the Girl Loves to Shop!

I’m a true girly girl at heart.  I love getting dressed up and hitting the town.  I can’t help it, it’s in my blood.  I’m also a girl that hates to shop.  I view it as a chore, rather than a joyous experience.  It doesn’t help matters that I’m petite and everything I buy must be taken in or hemmed.  I own very few dress clothes because of this and a majority of the dresses I own are strapless.  Although this is not because strapless dresses tend to make a guys heart beat faster, but because straps just never fare well for me.  I could write pages how clothes just don’t fit me perfectly, but I’ll refrain from that and show some of my top picks that I hope I will be able to incorporate into my wardrobe in the future.  All the dresses from this collection came from Forever 21 one of my favorite stores to hit up every now and then.

Sequins.  You grow to love them after awhile.  I mean I used to do the dance recital thing and my mentality was always the more sequins and sparkles the better.  Although, that mentality is left for the stage, it’s not something I could ever do in public; I’m past the age of junior high.  Sequins to this effect are okay by me.

Everyone needs a sexy little black dress.  I’m not a fan of how fitted it is, it makes my boobs look bigger than normal and hugs in places I’d rather not have it hug.  Maybe by the time summer rolls around I’d be ready to done this little black dress on my body, but don’t count on it.

Again, Strapless.  I can never get away from strapless, mostly because I know they fit and my boobs will fit into most of them.  When you’ve been gifted by your grandparents/relatives in the boob department it becomes a hassle to fit them.  Plus, Paps has always told me if you’ve got them flaunt them!  I started listening to that advice when I was 15 and continued to listen to it up until I hip the ripe old age of 22.  Now, I rarely show off the extra boobage, unless I’m going out on a date (to an extent).

I love the cut of this dress.  Crazy how I’d think something with roses around the neck is cute, but it’s funny how your taste changes over the years into something more sophisticated.

Lambic Framboise

I found out back in July that I liked Framboise, the Raspberry kind.   At $8 a glass from a certain college hangout, I knew I needed to fix this habit with something a little less expensive.   I was happy I found this, it’s $8 a BOTTLE.  Needless to say I will be drinking THIS here at home and will have to find something different on the drink list at the hang out elsewhere.

**I hardly ever drink, but when I do I’ll be prepared with this in hand.


…the best drink to date…

Oh What a Day

I write this – we’re cruising down I-35 towards Old Navy.  Hopefully I can find some “free internet” while we’re in OKC shopping.

Roomie & I had some pretty eventful happenings yesterday.

To start, we both got our oil changed & tires rotated (pretty sure mine was long overdue, but what can you do).   It was quite the productive day.  Did some Wal-Mart shopping and even spent my $20 gift card Bath & Body Works sent me because my Wallflower was growing mold.   Yes, I said mold.

I must say I’m newly addicted to Need A Margarita Shower Gel.  It’s fabulous.   They did come out with a few new scents.   Roomie picked up the new Butterfly Flowers and Shore Breeze for wallflower refills.   Shore Breeze smells like a man to me and well, Roomie looooves the smell of men – so it’s a perfect.

This just in – Miley Cyrus – The Climb is amazing! It’s on the radio in the car right now.

Ahem, Old Navy has been awesome on giving it’s customers great deals.  Yesterday, we managed to snag a few items at 50% off.   New deals came out last night – at 2AM.  Roomie stayed up to snag those coupons {$50 off $100 purchase}.   I know, I couldn’t believe it either.  We didn’t go to bed til’ well after 3AM.   We had to watch the news after coupon hunting because of all the fires that have seemed to take Oklahoma over.   Nothing serious happened, there were just a lot of sirens and a mysterious green light flashing behind our edition.

Tutu.Cute.Designs

One of Nicole’s friends is having a giveaway.  She decorated Taylor & Heidi’s room in Lady Bugs, Drew’s room is done in Tonka Trucks & Whitney’s is in this amazing tree w/flowers & a white picket fence!  Roomie & I have met her and she does some of the most amazing work.

She does live in Arkansas, but doesn’t charge over rated shipping charges.  It’s a good thing for all you blog readers that have kiddos of your own out there.  Her link is on my Blog Reel on my page & I have also enclosed a link Tutu.Cute.Designs so you can check out what she has.  Everything is custom made by her and the finished product is even more spectacularly than what you originally thought it would be!

….so when I have kids….I’m definitely getting my daughter or daughters their own tutu.  I grew up dancing and loved dressing up in costumes, I’m sure the future kidlets will too.
