SDCC Show & Tell

outfits

Now that I’ve rounded up my birthday girl outfits for this month’s Comic-Con, I decided I’d play a little show and tell with you all! That and people have requested to see them and who am I to deny you lovely people? 😉 Now, I realize that it looks like I have some sort of strange antlers growing out of my head, but I assure you it belongs to my cardboard buck.

I’d really appreciate some help from you all with this one. I’m pretty sure this is the winner for my official birthday party (note amazing princess tiara & shoulder details), but I’m concerned that it is a little on the short side, especially since the back is exposed (not pictured). So my question to you all is, should I brave the streets of the Gaslamp District with the itty bitty number or should I pair it with my favorite jean leggings? Advice needed!

I absolutely love this dress! I found it at Loehmann’s this week and haven’t stopped obsessing over it since! It’s the runner up for my birthday dress if I am feeling a little more demure and less sex kitten. It’s so perfectly form fitting without being too suggestive and is made of the most delicious sweatshirt material.

So there you have it! My outfits for our nights on the town in San Diego! Hopefully I’ll look a little cuter the next time I wear them since I’ll actually make an effort to do my hair, accessorize and slap some makeup on 😉

What Summer Calls For

haircutA short, hip haircut!

I really tried this time to let my hair grow after so many people requested. I did. And it happened. My hair is currently extremely long. And extremely thick. And it is currently extremely hot & humid down here in South Florida, so in turn, my hair is extremely hard to deal with and spends its life in a disheveled ponytail. Can someone please tell me what is the point of having long hair if it is always tucked away and such a ginormous pain in the behind? I don’t know how you Miami girls do it. This crap is not for me, so I am doing what I have wanted to do for months now and getting my hair cut!  However, apparently I am like Samson and need my hair for strength because I got so many disdainful looks by friends and family when I announced my decision, which got me thinking…Why do people believe women have to have long hair?

Does it represent our femininity? Youth?

And yes, my haircut inspiration is coming from the lovely Christina Ricci and her sweet short ‘do pictured above.

CocoMae Giveaway

It’s no secret. I love me some girly dresses. So when the fabulous CocoMae contacted me to host a giveaway, I could not resist! One of my favorite summer dresses so far is their Don’t Burst My Bubble Dress that I clearly romp around in while just hanging out at my house (special appearance by my baby girl, Gwen). I can’t help but feel like a little cupcake when I wear this dress and you guys know how that fits perfectly with my fashion motto for this year. And how great would it look with a pair of mint or nude heels? Needless to say, it has made the cut as one of my birthday girl dresses, and your know how exclusive that list is 😉

And here’s the good part: lucky for all of you, all their items are up for grabs in this giveaway!
To enter the contest, please comment with your favorite item from CocoMae and what you love about it, then head over to Facebook and friend CocoMae for all the latest sales & updates!

A winner will be chosen at random a week from today, June 15th at 12am EST.
Good luck, everyone and make sure to spread the word!

1. Smashing Pumpkins Announce Intimate US tour

I honestly cannot control my insane happiness over the news that my favorite band in the world, The Smashing Pumpkins, will be playing an extremely intimate series of shows during the month of July. As if that wasn’t cool enough, one of their few stops is in Fort Lauderdale, specifically, at Revolution Live (one of my favorite venues)! Are you kidding me???? I’m pretty sure I just fangirled myself. Mr. Corgan is also hinting that special VIP access may be granted to some special fans including a private soundcheck! Unfortunately, the band has not released ticket prices or onsale dates, which has me extremely anxious. Must.have.tickets.now.
