Sleep Coma

Hello friends,

As my friend on FB put "Hello world, please feel better." I caught that dreaded sickness but NyQuil let me slumber and I think the worst is gone. I'm heading out with Robbie to his Holiday Party for his work. I love that companies schedule their holiday parties after the holidays so have an excuse to get dressed up. Oh! Did I forget I mention his work is sending taxis to pick us up and drop us off? Thank goodness that way if we have too many glasses of bubbly we still get home lovely. I'll post pictures of possible outfits for me to wear tonight. Will you help me pick one out?

Ps-I think the winner is the silver strapless dress.

 

Donna's Dress Shop

Happy Thursday,

Donna's Dress Shop looks amazing outside, maybe even TOO cool looking. (http://www.donnasdressshop.com) It is one of those cute boutiques I feel the need to get dressed up before I step foot inside. I know they have lots of affordable clothing, jewelry, and shoes for the everyday person. I really want to visit and document my shopping experience for an upcoming blog post; my husband has a persistent desire to dress me up like a pin-up girl. Only the classy ones though so no wearing my bathing suit around KC in winter. I want to support local businesses so I feel ashamed I haven't been in to shop yet! Will some of you send me pictures of your cute purchases there? I want to feature them in this here blog.

I love the show New Girl and I think this whole store would serve well as Zooey Deschanel new girl "Jess" character's closet. This show is one of my "I have to watch or I feel incomplete as a person if a miss an episode." Heck, this store could be the actual wardrobe of Zooey Deschanel because I have a sneaky suspicion she gets to keep all the clothes from New Girl. Zooey is the epitome of cool, the girl that all boys secretly like, and my best-friend. Well, not yet but she really is looking forward to being my BFF someday.

Hi readers,

I love the show GIRLS and I LOVE that we get to look how their wardrobe stylist styles them. Notice my mention of Beacon's Closet that I posted yesterday was mentioned as a shopping go to? Rad.

Bowie Style

JADATO says,

Bowie is back. Yes you heard me right and I couldn't be more excited! Twitter, Facebook, and Fashion Houses are all buzzing about Bowie's latest single to drop in over a decade. Will you be watching which fashion houses feature him in their catwalk line-up? Della Russo is excited about David Bowie's surprise new album due in March.

He is one of my favorite artists and I have ALL of his albums. Friends and followers if ever comes to Kansas City you better let me know so we can buy tickets immediately!

Speaking of Bowie let's explore some outfits that we should wear while watching him:

1. Two tone contacts are a must and face paint is a given.

2. Labyrinth hairstyles and sequins shirts are a must try. I think I have a crimper lying around somewhere.

3. Huge stilettos or chunky boots, faux furs, WAY too much blush, and python work great too. (I will try to put myself in a Bowie outfit tonight to show you how it really could look. I need a lot of practice before he reads my blog and decides to tour to Kansas City. ;)
