Flashing Lights

Bebe silk tank, AA bra and shorts, UO horse head bracelet, F21 studded bracelet, Erica Anenberg ring, Fiance's Omega Seamaster watch

Dru!!! of WeWearThings recently got a ringflash for his camera so he's been taking "glamorous" photos all this past week. This series of photos started at the pre-party and continued at the after-party. Hahah so much ridiculousness.  

Trust that there is a perfectly good reason for everything happening in each photo.  For example, I'm making Pepper be a DJ in the last photo. ERR EE ERR EE.

Thanks to my Mexico-Tan, my foundation no longer matches the rest of my body.  =(

Wall Photos

C&C California dress, Chinese Laundry sandals, F21 belt, necklace, and cuff

Hrm.  These pictures did not turn out how I pictured in my head.  Details of the outfit are kind of lost...but at least you get to see a new part of the house?  Photos are of us, my family, the dogs, San Francisco/San Jose, and a trip to Europe.

Today we went with our planner to look at a couple potential venues for the wedding reception.  OMG SO MUCH MONIES.  Our first choice is sadly out of our price range.  $15k JUST TO BOOK IT.  NOT including food/liquor.  How insane is that?

However, our 2nd choice is not too shabby.  There are floor to ceiling windows all around with a super view of downtown Houston.  We'll probably put down the deposit on Monday.  EXCIIIITING!

I forget which wedding blog I read this off of, but I found it to be a pretty good tip so I'll pass it along.  Open a rewards-earning credit card for your wedding expenses.  You figure you're going to be spending how many thousands (or tens of thousands) on the wedding.  Might as well be racking up some points!  Plus, it helps to keep all your expenses in one place so you can better track your budget.  AMEX, Chase Continental Mastercard, Southwest Rewards Visa are a couple.  We might be able to get a honeymoon ticket out of it!

Elizabeth & James Giveaway

Some of my favorite style icons? Definitely MK+A. Probably more Ashley than Mary-Kate, as Mary-Kate layers much more than I'm comfortable with, but I do love the way both girls put looks together.

What I really love about them is how they can put casual outfits together and make it look effortless, but when you really look at each piece they wear, you see the detail and thought that was put into each item. The tiny cuff of the jeans, the lacy bra, each bangle on the wrist. So brilliant!

OK so I'll cut to the chase-

I'm giving away a grey deconstructed tee from MK+A's Elizabeth & James line to one lucky winner!

How perfect is this shirt. You can SEE how soft it is. I'd wear it with cut-offs by day, and tuck it into a high-waisted skirt for night. Probably my leather UO skirt I've been wearing so often.

RULES:

1. Leave me a comment
   
2. Leave your name and email address
   
3. Be from the U.S.
   

That's it! The contest will run from now until next Friday, June 19. I'll randomly draw a winner and announce the results the following Monday.

Thanks to Chickdowntown.com for helping out with the giveaway! I actually browse their site pretty regularly because they have tons of designer stuff, like Alice & Olivia dresses, Current/Elliot boyfriend jeans, House of Harlow jewelry, Kain tanks and tees, and MCQ clothing. Best part? They have great sales and discounts! Check it.

Cozumel, MX

We are back from sunny Mexico!  

The beaches were beautiful, the people were nice, the food was great, and the drinks didn't stop pouring.  It just makes this Monday morning all the more depressing.

The majority of the vacation consisted of swimsuits and cut-off shorts, but I did manage to get one outfit shot in of my new favorite swimsuit cover-up.

Cover-up, hat, glasses, bikini (underneath) all F21

Light, short, slightly sheer, loose yet fitted.  Everything I could want in something to throw over a bikini and still look cute.

I've Got Yo Numba

Had to majorly up the contrast here because turns out black tulle is see-through with backlighting.

Him: Theory suit, Hugo Boss shoes, Burberry tie clip

Her: D&G Dolce & Gabbana dress, YSL tribute pumps, Banana Republic jewelry

What we wore to Fiance's cousin's wedding reception. We clean up real nice, eh?

So my shoes. MY SHOES. I had been contemplating these shoes for months. You probably wouldn't know from my postings, but I'm more of a purse gal than a shoe gal. Drop a G on a purse? HERE IS MY SAKS CARD AND MAKE IT SNAPPY. Spend more than $150 on a pair of shoes? GAHH....

So I'm in the YSL store for the 3rd time in a month and I have the Tributes on my feet (again). Then I hear Passion Pit's I've Got Your Number begin to play over the speakers.

YSL + PASSION PIT?

I only knew like 2 other people who knew who Passion Pit were and YSL is playing my current favorite song of theirs? By god, the song told me to buy the shoes.

By the by, Passion Pit is performing live in Austin and Houston this weekend. Unfortunately, I'm going to miss them. Fortunately, it's because I will be in Mexico in a giant floppy hat sipping micheladas by the beach. Updates will resume Monday!
