Melissa's "Ladies Who Brunch" Outfit

Here is Melissa "ladies who brunch" outfit.

Every other Sunday, the girls get together for brunch. Different location, different dress to show off. Unfortunately I couldn't make it, so no outfit pic for me today. As for Melissa, she grabbed this cute dress for a steal at Dots yesterday. I know Labor Day has come and gone, but in Texas, summer is here till late October and sometimes November. Plus she had to show off her latest find. If the weather can extend the blaring heat, can't we extend out summer outfits? It's only fair...

As for me, my shoes were sick and had to go to the hospital. I loaded them up and took 5 pairs to the Houston Shoe Hospital. I sure hope get the royal treatment, because I paid an arm and a leg. I guess we do what we need to for our shoes.

Friday's Brew-Ha Ha

Here is Friday night's Brew-ha ha outfit!

• Strapless polo dress - Old Navy
• Gold beaded necklace - Target
• Flip Flops - Ann Taylor Loft
• Root Beer- St Arnold's

Shout out to Erin and Doug for planning a great birthday at the St Arnold's Brewery! Even though the brewery didn't have a/c, we kept cool with unlimited ice cold beer and yummy root beer! If you ever get a chance, visit the brewery on Satuday's. They have a $5 tour and tasting (plus you get to keep the glass). I'm sure it was a birthday Doug won't forget.

Here are pics from the night...

iCake

Here is the cake I did for my brother's birthday. He's got an iPhone so I thought it would be the perfect cake for him. It's a Swiss chocolate cake frosted with black tinted butter cream. The apps were hand done using fondant. The silver sides were done with a ton of silver colored sprinkles. It took 4 hours to do the apps and 3 1/2 hours to bake, ice, and finalize the cake. Whew! I'm glad it's done and he loved the cake.

Thursday is my Friday so I am wearing pants!

Here is Thursday's (yeah it's my Friday) look....

I love this tote! I actually bought it in a sage green color and Kayla surprised me with the red one. She remembered me saying how I was torn between the two colors.

The necklace was something I forgot I had. I was digging around my jewelry and found my old friend. It's nice, simple, and a lovely souvenir from my trip to Paris.

Outfit: swiss dotted white button-up and lavendar tank (The Gap), belt from Dots, Bitten grey sailor pants (Steve & Barry's), Nina peep-toe heels, Mossimo burgandy tote (Target), Agatha silver herringbone necklace (Paris).

Melissa's "Orange you glad it's Wednesday" Outfit

Here is Melissa's Wednesday outfit. Cute! Cute! Love the shoes too (even though you can't see them. I know she got them on a trip to Paris. Every girl needs a pair of shoes from Paris...

I think Melissa's on a roll. Let's see what she's got for tomorrow....

Still waiting on V's and Lynette's pages.... Hello? Is anyone there???

It's a Mod Squad Wednesday

Wednesday's Mod Squad outfit.

• Mod print dress from Ross
• Belt from Dots
• Dollhouse brown peep toe pumps from Ross

  I love these brown heels! I got for a steal at Ross ($11.99 clearance). So at first I did have issues. I couldn't keep them on my feet. I tried and tried to wear them, but I kept tripping over myself. Finally after complaining, Lynette suggested I buy some heels adjusters so they fit better. Low and behold, I made a trip to CVS (Jacquie's suggestion) and viola...my shoes fit! If you have shoes that feel to big, they are only $3.29 for a pair. Make sure you get the heel grips, not the liners.

In other news... I worked on Doug's cake for 4 hours last night. Yes, 4 Hours! Needless to say, my eyes were tired and my back still hurts. The apps I did do look pretty good though. I still need to do a few things, but at least I got the hardest part over with. I'll add the pics when the cake is all done. It's going to be so cute though.

So while I was working on the cake details, I was watching the new 90210. Anyone see this last night? I thought it jumped around too much and I felt that some of the story line got skipped b/c they were trying to get some much info in in the 2 hours it was on. I was really more interested in what's been going on with Kelly and Brenda. Who is the father of Kelly's baby? Where is Andrea? They showed her kid for a brief and shining moment... Glad they found Nat and the Peach Pit is still in business. I may still watch it a few more times, but I'm not betting on a better plot anytime soon.... Thoughts???

Back to work

Here is Tuesday's back to work outfit.

• Ruffled stretch top - Anthropologie
• Pin-striped pencil skirt - Anthropologie
• Peep-toe pumps - Maripe
• Beaded flower choker - Banana Republic

I hope everyone had a great holiday. It's tough going back to work after a 3-day weekend. To make matters worse, our a/c went out last night. I should have posted this pic this morning, but it was so hot. I couldn't wait to get out of the apt.

Tonight is a cardio night. Just a quickie though. I need to work on Doug's birthday cake. Hopefully it'll turn out great. I'll post those pics when it's finished.


On another note... I loved Melissa's outfit today. I made her promise me to send me a pic for the blog. Of course, she delivered :-) Doesn't she look so fab? Here's her breakdown...
