Shiny Happy Hair

I was particularly happy today because my hair looked pretty good! It has been a bit dull and flat lately no matter what I do with it. I think the changing weather isn't helping :( This is a bargain dress from River Island. I waited for it to go on sale and snagged it for 10euros! Delighted with myself that day :D It has ties at the neck but I never use them...I'm tempted to get rid of them but have to figure out the best way to do that before I go scissor happy!

Awkward & Awesome Thursday

I know we've missed a few weeks.  But I caught up on my reading of The Day Book this week, and I wanted get back on the Awkward & Awesome bandwagon.  Sydnei at The DayBook hosts Awkward & Awesome Thursdays.

Awkward

1) Reading one of your fave blogs and realizing that you missed something!  Now they're pregnant!  I really enjoyed reading Sydnei's The Day Book.  I guess I had missed it for a few weeks.  She must have announced somewhere in there that she's pregnant!

2) Forgetting your tripod.  I really enjoy stopping by Old Town here in Wichita on my way to work to take outfit pics.  Things were quite hectic for me for awhile there.  So I was taking my pics at home.  This morning I decided to buck the rend and take one in Old Town.  Alas, I forgot my tripod.  Not to be dissuaded from meeting my goal, I put my camera on a cement wall and made a go of it.  I think I got a few decent ones ;).

 

Awesome

1) Making your own wine!  Joshy and I are heading out to Grace Hill Winery tomorrow for the Make Your Own Wine event!  They will have barrels of their basic wines and we get to mix them to come up with our own signature house blend.  Speaking of...I need to send them a good picture of us!

2) Working from home.  Next week Joshy gets to work from home all week!  Joshy normally travels during the week Mondays through Thursdays.  I'm so excited to have him around all week!


3) Kendi Everyday's 30 x 30 challenge! Kendy's new 30 x 30 challenge will be starting June 13th which is this coming Monday!  Shea and I vowed that we would be much more careful choosing our items this time around.  So I will definitely be starting the choosing process tonight.  Shea is actually not going to participate this time around because she is coming to see ME!!! She is also coming for her sister's wedding...which will be cool.  But I ALSO GET to have an AWESOME time with her in LAS VEGAS!!!


4) Shea and I (and our hubbies) will be in Las Vegas in less than a month! 

Seeing Spots

This is also a new purchase. I was drawn to the pattern of this dress along with the cut/fit. It is tailored very well. With the weather being the way it is at the moment, I unfortunately had to wear a cardigan over it and the mac because it was raining! Looking at the pictures, I think my 'nude' coloured tights aren't quite matching my skin tone. They've since hit the bin thanks to a giant ladder that appeared up the side of my right leg...oops!

Magenta and bling

The other day I wore a magenta silky shirt from Kohl's and Victoria's Secret Pants.  I love the BLING on the shirt.

Paisley Prints

On Sunday I got to spend some time with my cousin who was in town.  We talked and walked around Old Town and got some banana split gelato!  Yay gelato!

I decided to wear an airy print knit dress because it was 90+ degrees here!  I also purchased a new medallion necklace with an elephant on it as well as a colorful beaded bracelet. I'll make sure to add a better picture of the elephant necklace.  The dress is quite low cut, so I have to wear some kind of tank top under it.  I don't think that it detracts too much from the look!

Grey Butterflies

This is a new purchase. I didn't think much of it on the hanger but once I tried it on I thought the colour with the pattern and the shoulder detail was so lovely I had to get it. It ties in the back. I think it could have used a belt or maybe I could have tied it tighter to give my waist more definition but I had a big lunch so I needed to be comfy! :D

Fabulous Friday

Once again, it is time to play "Give it a Miss, Give it a Go or Give it to Me" where I'll post pics of celeb outfits and you can tell me whether you wouldn't wear it (give it a miss), like it and might wear it (give it a go) or love it and want it (give it to me).

Here is week's contender...Katerina Graham! All pics taken from Go Fug Yourself and you should check out that site too...very witty stuff!

So, what do you think? ♥
