Playing Dress Up!

And here are the pictures of the new dresses! Just realized I left my camera charger at home over spring break so the camera JUST lasted long enough to get these pictures (Yes- spaciest person EVER award definitely goes to me. Particularly because my mom had to mail my camera back to me, and I just now realized two weeks later I forgot the charger, too). The one of the coral Delias dress isn't that great, but the camera died, so it had to suffice!!!

The shoes I'm wearing in all of these pictures are my Steve Madden Fiesstaas. Still haven't had anywhere to wear them out to, because they're so darn tall that I've been waiting for a good occasion that also won't require much walking.

Dress 1: Forever 21 Splattered Paint Strapless with a tie in the back. This was the one I bought in Chicago over Spring Break a few weeks ago. I may, however, add some kind of halter straps to it, because I hate constantly worrying about keeping strapless dresses up! We'll see.

Dress 2: Delias "Jess Knot Dress"... and these sunglasses are also the Jennifer Sunglasses I ordered from Delias as well.

Dress 3: Delias "Sharona Knit Dress" in Coral. This is the one that I think I'm going to add a liner to (the bottom half anyways) if I ever get my sewing machine fixed. Hopefully taking that in next weekend when I go home for my birthday with the family.

Also- Owl/Cosmo Painting giveaway still going on (here).

New Red Velvet Cake Recipe up at Wonderland Kitchen!


Hope everyone is having a good weekend- the weather here is GORGEOUS! Actually hit 81 earlier today!!!

New Dresses Coming Soon!

Well, yesterday was kind of a mess. Everything from spilling black paint on the carpet to my sewing machine breaking in 3 different places when I was trying to hem a dress. Yeah, don't know how that happened. I think the only thing that really saved the day was that it was a BEAUTIFUL DAY and I got in a really good work out. Well, and my cousin made me a delicious dinner.

I'm just glad my roommate has a sewing machine too, because these dresses REALLY need hemmed, and I want to wear them ASAP now that the weather is hovering around the upper 70's! My dresses from Delias came, so hopefully tomorrow I'll have a chance to do a mini photo shoot with those to show you! I really like them... but one of them kind of needs a liner sewn into it, so I may have to try to attempt that this weekend. (Though that could be risky business without Kelly's expertise on hand in case I have any slip ups!) I am also obsessed with the sunglasses, and literally wore them ALL DAY yesterday. Inside. Because I love them that much.

For now I'm just looking forward to a gorgeous weekend that will hopefully get me caught up and even ahead on all the projects and homeworks and studying I need to do for the next two weeks. Not to mention, my birthday is right around to corner! VERY EXCITING!



And don't forget to enter my giveaway (here)! It's open until next wednesday! And to clarify- yes, it IS open internationally! I'll just cross that bridge of figuring all that out once we get there. (I sound like an idiot, I'm assuming shipping internationally isn't that hard, but, I've never done it. haha)

Delias Deals!

As you can see I've yet again changed my layout. Truth be told, I'm just too OCPD (Yes, I'm convinced I really have this) and I know that last background, as much as I loved it, was a bit much on the eyes. Hopefully we'll stick with this one for a while.

I finally ordered some dresses from Delias... but they were out of BOTH of the ones I wanted in the size I wanted! Definite bummer. I like the ones I got, but I still liked the others better. Oh well, these are a little more simple, so hopefully I'll be able to do more with them. I'm still just crossing my fingers that they fit well, because you never know!





I also found a code to get $20 OFF WHEN YOU SPEND $75 OR MORE (See Here. Code is 20DISCD. Expires March 31st.) so because my order was a little under that, I threw in this pair of cheap sunglasses to push it over the edge. Plus, I just love sunglasses, and really needed a new pair anyways. Cheap ones usually last me a while, but I'm always misplacing them around the house so the more the merrier.

It's weird, because I haven't shopped at Delias since I was in like, Junior High or something, and I am not even sure if I'm "Too old" to be shopping there... but I think I'm ok with this purchase. Now I just have to wait for summery weather to arrive to really get the most out of the dresses! I'm just so awful at dressing for Spring weather! I WANT to wear dresses and skirts and fun flirty warm weather clothes, but it's always too chilly to go without a jacket and I have so few light jackets/sweaters that it makes it difficult to not give in to my summer side.

I've been thinking of more giveaway ideas too, so I think you'll definitely be seeing that soon. Especially if I lure one more unsuspecting blogger in to hit 20 ;-)
