Playing in Florals

A few days before leaving for the beach, me and my sweetheart headed out for some fun with another couple. We went out for a really good dinner and then last minute went to play some laser tag. Note that I wasn't properly dressed for it, but still had a lot of fun playing while looking cute in my new floral top that I finally got to wear. We had a lot of fun and will definitely will be playing again soon.

Neutral Tones

I have really been enjoying wearing neutral tones lately. I have found myself buying more and more of them. I do see myself purchasing more and wearing them well into the fall. Neutral tones do not have to be boring if you change it up a bit. I find these tones to be very beautiful and classic.

Ladies, do you see yourselves wearing more of these tones?

Casual Movie Friday

I hope you all had a lovely weekend and had fun and relaxed as well. I had a great friday night with the boyfriend. We had a nice casual movie movie night; he took me to go see Mr. Popper's Penguins! It was such a great movie and I remember absolutely loving the book when I was younger. Since it was just a casual night, I decided to go for a more casual look.

Anniversary: The Presents

On yesterday's blog post I told you all about how me and my boyfriend spent our 2 year anniversary. I also mentioned that he bought me two incredible presents and that I would share them with you all.

He bought me a beautiful gold Betsey Johnson watch and a pair of Rock and Candy glitter shoes, that I love.

Anniversary: The Date

Last week, my boyfriend and I celebrated our 2 year anniversary. I can't believe we have been together for this long and I am so blessed that we have. He truly is amazing and could not have asked for anyone better to be with. We celebrated our anniversary by going to dinner to the same place where we had our first date, and coincidentally, we sat at the same exact table as well. He got me the most wonderful gifts too, (which will be on tomorrow's post) and I am so happy he loved what I got him as well. I hope you all have someone as special in your lives.

OMF(ashion)G: Betsey Johnson makes me hot

Okay OMFGers...

I have an addiction I have been struggling with for the past few years, but has definitely become more prominent in the past year or so, and that addiction is to anything and everything Betsey Johnson! Who is she, you ask? Betsey Johnson is a fashion designer who has been on the scene for well over 40 years. She is mostly known for her brightly colored, adorned, often brightly colored, over-the-top fashions.  Celebs love her crazy, kitschy style too! Check Rhianna and Lil’ Mama rockin’ a hot pink and black tulle number by the eclectic designer:

 

And check it out…this is the exciting part. ANYONE can afford to look beautiful in Betsey! And I do mean anyone. Prices in her boutiques (the two in Atlanta are in Perimeter Mall and Lenox Mall) are pretty high. Most dresses full price range in the $275-$500 area.  Though lately she has been running some amazing sales!  Last month I scored a coat that was $350 retail, but had been marked down several times to $120! I seriously live in that thing with this crazy cold weather. Not only that, but her jewelry, sunglasses, socks, stockings, wallets, and purses can be found at discount retailers everywhere (places like TJ Maxx, Marshalls, etc.) You can also go on auction sites (eBay, etsy) and nab some amazing deals. Among some other Betsey swag, I received a FANTASTIC pair of her sunglasses for Christmas. My parents just HAD to tell me how much they paid for them…$3. Yes. Three. American. Dollars. See, for less than the price of a value meal you can be high stylin’ in some beautiful Betsey Johnson goodies! Here is miss Betsey herself showing off some of her own designs:

                     

 And just for fun…me decked out in my most prized possession: my sparkly, sequin-skirted, hot pink Betsey Johnson prom dress at the Revolver Magazine Golden Gods Awards last year, escorted by my dear friend/Daath guitarist Eyal Levi:

Now ladies and cross-dressers, go forth, shop frugally (we are in a recession, ya know,) and be fabulous!

Xoxoxo
