What I Wore: Hostess Duties

This past weekend I hosted a fun afternoon for some of my favorite girls consisting of lots of champagne, crafting (friendship bracelets to be exact) and at-home manicures. It was also doubling as a birthday celebration for one of my best friends, Elissa. We had such a good time, and despite the surprising difficulty level of those silly bracelets, decided we should get together to make crafts together at least once a month! With the holidays coming, I can’t wait to plan little projects for us to do together (with plenty of liquor involved, of course). Look out for the official party post tomorrow, complete with details and fun action shots!

With that said, I decided to dress the part and pulled out the color! When I chose to wear a fun striped shirt, I had to pair it with my favorite bells for that retro vibe. I attempted my best blogger bun (I’m really no good at it) and rocked my sky high wedges to complete the fun and relaxed look.

Birthday Wishlist

So, as you all know, my birthday is slowly creeping up. My hubby is planning a surprise outing for me next Saturday to celebrate, and I am both nervous and excited. I love being surprised, but at the same time am a control freak, so I’ve been trying my best to play this balancing game since he told me the date. I don’t know where we are going or who will be there – the only thing I have been told is that it is an all day affair, and that I should dress casual and bring a bikini (& a large appetite). Needless to say, outfit has already been planned and my brain has been swimming with all the possibilities.

My brain has also been working in overdrive selecting must-have items for my birthday wishlist, and for those of you that are wondering what you can get me, my pinboards on Pinterest are your one stop gift idea shops. I spend more time than I’d like to admit compiling photos and ideas on that site, so it’s a pretty comprehensive guide to anything I may be lusting over at the moment.

::beeeeeep::

And this has been my birthday gift public service announcement. Carry on. 😉

Lovable Friday!

1. Brightly colored pumps

I guess we can all thank Gwyneth Paltrow and her hot colorful heels at the Grammy’s for this new trend. And I’m not really complaining. These babies are a great substitute and at $32, you can’t deny them! Too bad I’d probably fall on my face with those serious stilettos. I’m going to have to start practicing 😉

Happy April Fools Day!
Hope you haven’t gotten pranked on too many times, my loves!

1. Comic Headband

Calling all nerds, I have found your staple headpiece! How cute is this comic book headband? I personally think it’s the perfect accessory for all those Comic Con attendees. And if I play my cards right, I just might be one of those lucky geeks in attendance this year (again)! If so, I’ll be grabbing myself one or two for the road. 😉

1. H&M striped dress

How perfectly Spring is this dress? It really makes me want to kick H&M in the rear for not having a South Florida store (although that will change in 2012) or a US online store (also changing in 2012). This gorgeous little number is only $30, ladies. THIR-TY. I pay more for gas weekly. Sometimes life just isn’t fair.
