Tragedy

Unfortunately, I've been so busy at work that I haven't gotten any pics. Let's just say I haven't been much of a fashion plate since I'm doing inventory and spend half of the day scooting around on the floor scanning books.

I did want to share a recent tragedy that occurred in my household. This sweet looking little dog...

Did this!

Yes, Piggy has been decapitated. Apparently Sophie has a murderous streak!

Hope I'll have a good outfit tomorrow!

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all of my readers that are moms! Hope you've all had a great day!

This has been a pretty crazy few days for me. Sorry for the lack of posts. My grandma's sister was in a horrific accident and passed away. So, these last few days have been spent with family.

Here are a couple of outfits from the past few days. Sorry I didn't get one every day!

Loved the pop of color on this dress!

Man, am I pale or what?!

Also, I managed to fit in a book signing with Andy Cohen, Bravo exec,host of WWHL, and author. He was just as funny and lovable as he is on tv!

Love that the guy from the library photobombed this picture.  Thanks, buddy!

And finally, here are some random photos from the weekend.

My aunts Marie and Bea, my dad, and my grandma!  Only one missing is my Uncle Bob.

With my grandma!  It's a little blurry because my mom took it (sorry Mom, love you!)

With my Aunt Bea-she lives in SC so I don't get to see her very often!

I promise I'll be more on top of things this week! Only 6.5 more school days left before summer!

PS-in 6.5 days I'm going to need a new photographer. Usually someone at work takes my pic but I won't have that for the summer. If you know someone that is a good photog that would be willing to take pics for free, let me know!

Colors

I finally finished a huge task at work that I've been working on since Monday! Wahoo! Makes me feel good, but now I have to move on to an even bigger task! To make that bearable I'm reminding myself I only have 8.5 more work days left before summer!!!!

Here's my look for today. It's super cold in the library so I opted for pants and bright colors again-
Sweater: Target
Shirt: BR
Pants: Gap
Shoes: Missoni for Target

Teacher Day

Happy Teacher Appreciation Day! 

Nothing really exciting happened at school today and I've just been chilling at home so this is short and sweet!

Sweater:ON

Shirt: Jason Wu for Target

Twinsies

Getting back to work after a weekend of celebrating=not fun. I'm not quite recovered yet-I'm hoping by tomorrow I'll finally feel rested.

I pulled the dress I wore today out of my closet and thought, "I hope the two other people that have this dress don't wear it today." And wouldn't you know, the lovely Lauren of 912 ELM Tree wore hers! We both even accessorized with animal print shoes and black cardigans! Great minds really think alike. We couldn't resist taking a pic! This Shorty Mc Short Short is going to have to get hers shortened. I prefer the length it is on Lauren.

Full disclosure- this dress used to be VERY tight! Yay weight loss!

Wedding Bells

Yesterday was my best friend Alison's wedding. The entire weekend felt like a whirlwind, and I'm sure it was even more so for her, but here are a few pics I snapped.

Friday, before the rehearsal, I went with Alison, her mom, and one of our other best friends, Aimee, to get our nails done. It was a fun and relaxing experience. I think that besides the mall the nail place may be my happy place.

Alison, Aimee, and me outside the nail salon!

Soon after, we had the rehearsal. Since I was busy trying to pay attention to what I was supposed to do, there is no pic. However, I did manage to snag one of my best friends at the dinner. We've been friends since high school. I think we look just as good, if not better now!

Alison, Erin, Aimee, and me at the rehearsal dinner.  Friends since freshman year- 18 years!

Erin, the fourth in our A Team, stayed with me Friday night and we headed to the salon early Sunday morning! I'll spare you the getting ready pics except one of the bride getting glammed up. The stylists and makeup duo that got us all ready were top notch! We had a great time getting ready.

Doesn't Alison look glam?

Here are close ups of my hair and make up. I had a pic of a hairstyle but it didn't quite turn out like I planned. Still cute though!

I LOVED my make up! I wanted my eyes to pop in pictures and, boy, did they! The false eyelashes made me feel so glam!

After being in the sweltering heat several times-doesn't do the make up justice!

Here's a couple of full length pics so you can see my dress. I absolutely adore this JCrew dress! My only problem was it needed to be taken in slightly at the top (first time that's ever happened!) so I had to be careful that it didn't expose my bra. Other than that it was super comfy!

Once we got to the church, we inhaled some sandwiches and got ready. Some quick pics of the bride, bridesmaids, and brides family and we were back inside. It was extremely hot and humid so we cooled down before the ceremony. No pics of that, I was busy being a bridesmaid!

After the wedding we took more pics at the church and then headed out on the trolley. So fun-except no air conditioning! :( We managed to not melt while making a couple more stops for pics and then it was party time!

Here's the besties all dolled up. I love these gals!

I got to hold on to Aimee's little guy Max while Aimee and her hubs finished eating. I love our self portrait!

Auntie Anna and Max love hanging out!

Here are a couple snaps of the happy couple! My favorite is the last. We were cleaning up around Alison and Chris and here they were-oblivious and obviously so happy and in love! 

Congrats to the happy couple!

Catch Up

Sorry for the lack of posting the past couple of days. This week has kind of gone by in a haze, I've been so busy!

My dad called Tuesday and invited me to the Cardinals game with him that night. Needless to say, I went and had a great time! Here are a couple pics-one of the game and one of my dad and me. We ended up with a dozen loud New Yorkers surrounding us, an adorable little kid in front of us, and a Prince Harry doppelgänger across the stairway. The game itself was entertaining but the people just ramped up the entertainment level.

Yesterday, my best friend that's getting married, Alison, called and asked for help with some last minute details. So, I spent almost two hours folding and alphabetizing place cards. I'm exhausted!!

Here's the look from yesterday. It's not too close up because I didn't want you to see the giant bags under my eyes. And yes, I'm wearing polka dots and stripes at the same time. Why not?
