What I Wore: Company Dinner

I gave you all a sneak peek of my outfit earlier this week, and here’s the official post! I had a fun dinner scheduled with my boss and new coworkers Sunday evening at Balans on Biscayne. I had a good time getting to know everyone (there are 17 of us!), laughing, eating and refraining from drinking. Yeah, you heard right. I had to turn down glass after glass of champagne because I was on antibiotics – major fail. But at least I looked cute! Now that I know the entire team, I’m definitely looking forward to future get-togethers with this fun group. I hear something about a party bus next time? 😉

Happy Hump Day: Francois Arnaud

This mister was another recommendation (thanks for all the tips, ladies!), and although I am not a huge fan of The Borgias (it’s a little too slow moving for me), I can totally appreciate a little Francois Arnaud, who plays Cesare Borgia. Unfortunately, he looks pretty ridiculous in what seems like a wig (?) on the show, and this paired with the ornate period wardrobe can really be a hump day downer. Thankfully, the Tumblrs pulled through with the following magnificent pictures. Adorable shaggy hair, current clothing, smoldering poses: downer no more, ladies!

Roxy’s Derby-licious Photo Shoot

Remember my 2-year anniversary pretty nifty photoshoot giveaway? Well, Roxy was one of the two winners and we were finally able to coordinate a session a couple of weeks ago. She is just the cutest little thing with tons of spunk and sass (two of my favorite qualities). She wanted a mixture of pin up and roller derby, as she is fresh meat on her Houston league back home. The ideas sounded great to us – my hubs had never shot anything in these styles so he was more than psyched to give it a go. I have to say that we had the best time with Ms. GrrFeisty – she even inspired me to give derby a go (I’m looking at you, Vice City Rollers)!

Weekend Instagram

Although my weekend wasn’t the best: I got struck by some wicked, vile string of death that included a fever of 102, body aches, sore throat and generally poopiness, there were some highlights. First being that my lovely friend, Lori, stopped by to drop off a zpak for me (forever thankful) – the rest are compiled below in Instagram form:

Friday evening, I got my new Riedell roller skates! They were an early birthday gift from my awesome hubby, after I expressed interest in joining a roller derby league. Once I fully recover, I hope to start practicing around the neighborhood (I’ve just been rolling around my house for now) and plan on joining open practice either this weekend or next! Exciting stuff! Eat my dust, thirty.

Lovable Friday!

1. Asos Clutch

I am absolutely in love with this color for summer. That gorgeous turquoise green just reminds me of the beach, namely my most favorite place on Earth: the Florida Keys. This portfolio-style clutch from Asos would just cheer up any outfit, hell it would cheer me up everytime I looked at it! Unfortunately, it comes with a hefty price tag, but comfort yourself in knowing that Asos does not charge any shipping rates! Hey, as a shopaholic you always have to find the silver linings!
