Tracy Feith Dress

Here's the dress I mentioned that I got from Target from the new Tracy Feith line. I really like it and I wore it the other day and some woman stopped me at the car dealership and told me she loved the dress and that I looked really good in it. Makes me want to wear it again soon so I can get a compliment or two.
I was looking through my closet and I've racked up some serious clothes from Target's designer collaborations. I think my favorites were Paul & Joe & Alice Temperley. I constantly wear my Paul & Joe jeans because they make my bootie look good and the little sweater is some kind of cool and I only paid like $15.00 for it because I got in on sale in the Valley . I love my pieces from Alice Temperley also but I can only wear them in the winter cause one is a jacket and the other is a long sleeve shirt. Check'em out. I also have pieces from Proenza Schouler, Libertine
(awesome bolero), Patrick Robinson, and I'm sure
others I can't think of at this moment but I'll add them later.

I'm back

So I've been back from Paris and Barcelona for a week. I spent the whole weekend cleaning and washing clothes with a little bit of entertaining on Saturday night. I decided to make Cava Sangria from this mix I bought at William and Sonoma. I wasn't impressed. I'm going to make my own mix next time. I was really missing my pork sausage but I'm going to make it my mission to hunt some down in the city. I did make some quinoa that was fabulous with nothing but tomatoes and onions. It's such a light refreshing side for the summer.

I also ironed all my laundry which I'd washed on Saturday and I also did some hemming and sewing stuff that I'd been unable to wear because it was torn. I also finished this project that's been sitting in my living room for close to a year. It didn't exactly come out how I wanted it to but it's at least finished. I'll post a picture later. I found it in Blueprint the old Martha Stewart design magazine and wanted to do it for a while. I also cleaned up my dining room table that had been laden down with receipts and crap and now it's pretty much cleaned up. I'm kind of proud because I actually finished all my laundry and most of it is either folded, ironed and put away.

I'll be posting pictures of my trip and the cute things I bought!

Target

Here's what I bought from the Alexander McQueen line at Target. I bought the dress and the gray skinny jeans since I mainly own blue jeans and was trying to mix it up on the color front. Although I was a fan of some of the other stuff it did not fit like I would have liked. Of course I had to have the dress altered b/c it was too long and the jeans. The jeans are a funny story. I bought a size 7 and they fit ok not to tight not too loose. Well I lost some weight and they fit real loose so I decided to have them altered. Well from the time I had them altered and brought them home they are fitting a bit snug. Oh well it just makes me get back into eating right and excercising more. Check it out. I also bought a dress from the Tracy Feith line. It's really cute. I will post it later. BTW, I did do some summer dress shopping at Forever 21 but I've decided to stop buying clothes there since it's all disposible clothing and that's not good for the environment. I'll talk more about that later.

Two More Days

Before I leave for Paris and no I haven't practiced my French. My Spanish better do the trick or I'm screwed.

New purchases

I haven't really done must shopping. Yes I know it's a miracle but I have made a couple of purchases at Gilt.com since I last updated the website. Here's a few. They've had some really good designers on their website and I've had to be really good since I am going to Paris in two days. The black shoes are Cynthia Vincent Luella and they are HOT! The jeans are AG Jeans and I'm having them altered since they are made for people who are 6ft. The sunglasses are Oliver Peoples. I lost my other Oliver Peoples pair back in November after having them for about 10 months so I punished myself and wore my old ass Prada pair that are like four years old. They were still in pretty good shape except they were all scratched but hopefully I learned my lesson and won't lose this pair. I got them on Gilt.com so I didn't pay full price. Let me know what you think. I'm going to post some of my purchases from the designer line at Target. You know I love me some Target.

Blog Update

So I haven't updated in forever. I know I know it's crazy but I haven't felt like posting in a while. I've been busy being busy. I told someone I've been busy but when I tried to think about what I've been up to I couldn't exactly pin point what I've been up to lately so I decided to start blogging again. I've been trying to fix up my house and get it ready for my yearly trip. This year I'm going to Paris and Barcelona. I will be in Paris for four days on my own( I don't speak French should be interesting) and Barcelona with my bestie Nicky. We haven't really gotten to spend a lot of time together this past year so it's make up time. I haven't seen her since last July. Ok, so I've been cleaning and organizing my house. I did go to Austin for Memorial Day weekend and I did go to Vegas back in April for like six days for NAB. I will post pictures of NAB but they are already on Facebook. BTW, I'm addicted to Gilt.com. I've gotten some things from them and I'm really happy. I will post more later. XO.
