New: Purse

The next one on the docket the Bulga 'Mini Marquis' Tote. It should be arriving sometime end of this week or the beginning of next and although it is very similar in color as my current Tory Burch, I think that it will be a nice size and shape for carting things to and from the shows for the summer! Plus LOVE the outer pockets!

More when it comes!

Skirting the Issue

Glorious Summer!

Two more rehearsals... TWO! Yikes!

But, the Oranjemen (starring my boyfriend) won yesterday, so all I have to do is hope that Paul is wrong (DAMN YOU, PAUL!) and that Germany can pull it off against Spain today! And then...only be able to watch the first hour of the final game on Sun... BOO! Stupid matinée... But I can watch all of the losers' match on Sat? How is that better... Scheduling shows during the World Cup, come on people! GO GERMANY! PS just MIGHT watch the rematch of today's game on ESPN3 so I can enjoy the MASSIVE amounts of pretty that are the German and the Spanish national teams--ridic!

Today for the gloriousness that is 89 degree weather, I am wearing my edme & esyllte teal polka-dot and navy striped skirt from Anthropologie, grey ruffle front Fossil tank and Columbia flip flops. I also threw on my black cap sleeve sweater from Macys for "office appropriateness"

Summertime and the Livin' is Easy

Seriously, hearting the next 5 days in the weather forecast: 77 today, 89 tomorrow, 92 Thurs and 85 Fri! The heatwave has commenced (I give Seattlites until noon tomorrow before they start complaining about the heat--but you won't hear me contributing!) and I LOVE IT! Keep it up, weather!

So, we open on Fri, yup, FRI! Yipes! It's gonna be good. We have 5 hours of tech rehearsal each night until then, so I think we are in very good shape, but it's still a little insane... Plus, we open in Fall City--boo! I don't even know where that is. But at least opening is a little less pressure since it's so far away. Tonight is also the start of the "oh, god can I get to where I need to be by 6pm when I get off work at 5?" which is why I am getting a ride. But even still, I think it's gonna be tight...

So, today I am wearing my teal Kimchi Blue tank, skinny bdgs, and black gladiators all from UO, black cap-sleeved sweater from Macys.

Independent Thought

Wishing it was nicer out so that I could rock my new swimsuit, but I am on my way to Lake Tapps for the 4th! Older (and wiser) than last year, but planning to have JUST as much fun! Plus, the polka-dot bikini is packed JUST in case (they DO have a hot tub, after all...)

I am wearing my UO Max tee and current/elliot boyfriend jeans from Nordys with my columbia flip flops.

Bathing Beauty

God help me! I am putting pictures of myself in a swimming suit on the internets, but it is SUCH a cute suit that I cannot help it! I feel like days when I get off work early are just MADE for shopping and I definitely took advantage of that today.

After we got off at 1pm, I hit up American Apparel, H&M and Macys all of which were DISMAL failures before running into Emily at Nordys where she offered to do my make up and then we grabbed a quick bite, revitalizing me for my foray through Nordy's swimwear selections. And I swear to you, I probably would have given up there as well if it hadn't been for Kitty (old friend of a friend) working who helped me find the most perfect swimsuit!

Also, probably would have bought this one (the La Blanca by Rob Beattie 'Sweetheart' One Piece) if it hadn't been $120! I mean, come on! I find the perfect swimsuit and it's more money than my entire outfit! BS! But look how cute it is... Maybe I'll go back at the Anniversary Sale and see if it's on sale! Imagine it with the lipstick, floppy hat and GIANT sunglasses. *sigh* Perfection!

I am wearing my new black polka-dot 2 piece Becca swimsuit from Nordys (and not much else--YIKES!) with my light grey floppy hat from UO, Columbia flip-flops and MAC lipstick in Ruby Woo (rest of my makeup by Emily at Giorgio Armani in Nordys!).

Now, I'm back in regular clothes and about to head to our run through at Volunteer Park tonight! Yay! 7 days!

Bling, Sparkle, Shine

Getting ready to kick off this 3-day weekend a little early! Heading outta work in about 15 minutes to shop, head to rehearsal for a run through, then to bed early so I can watch THE WORLD CUP all day tomorrow (7am Germany v Argentina, 1130am Spain v Paraguay--Go Germany! Go Spain!), then BBQ with the fam tomorrow night and heading into the 4th at Dani's parents... Whew! Exhausting and EXCITING! AND THEN, heading into tech and OPENING WEEKEND. It comes fast, it comes furious and it comes fun! Loving life right now!

Today I am wearing my thrifted sheer black tee, teal leopard print tank from Express underneath, jolt black pants, Sperry Top-Siders and black Express v-neck cardi on top. And topping it all off with my Aldo pearl, diamond, black and gold chain BLING necklace.

Choking Kind

More love to Dan Savage for saying what I'm (still) thinking. I mean, it's JULY for pete's sake! Thanks for that... Stupid global warming...

We move over to other parks today. It should be interesting to translate what we've done to each new setting and I'm glad we get some of that in (pre-)tech. We're at Woodland Park today and Volunteer tomorrow for our run through. Hopefully the weather clears up so we're not stuck in the rain...

Today, I am wearing my F21 black pencil skirt & zebra print belt with my F21 ruffled halter, black thrifted 3/4 sleeve cardigan, black DKNY knee-socks and slouchy black Steve Madden boots.
