Bye NY and Hello 37th Birthday!

(Men's Jimmy Hendrix tee from H&M;Thrift Camo jacket)

Here are a few more shots of my haircut and hopping round town in New York.

I didn't get around to doing any official outfit posts because Juanette and I were too busy getting lost on the R! 

Brunch with the fabulous Audrey of Miss Moon's Musings and Toya of The Limerick Lane!

Toya is a total Harlem girl by way of Detroit and Audrey made a special trip from Brooklyn to hang at the Social Corner! 

I have no idea what I was saying or who was I talking to but this was the only shot of my "getting lost on the R"outfit. Target dress/shoes.

While in Harlem, this fab blogger of Finding Paola was just minding her own business and we all raced to take a picture of her!

She blogs about the "going ons"in Harlem with a side of style!

So good, right!

Oh and Chastity stumbled upon a segment on the Style Network while roaming around New York!

All in all, it was an awesome trip!

It was the perfect way to usher in my 37th birthday....which is today!

Say Your Goodbyes

Here are some more shots of the skirt I wore to the ballet this weekend. 

Enjoy the length now because the next time you see it, it will be knee length.:)

My hair looks like I cut it but I just did a twist out and pinned it up on the sides/back and shaped it.

 Say goodbye to the long black skirt!

My First Ballet!

I was asked out of the blue to go to see The Moulin Rouge ballet performance.
I've never been to one so I jumped at the chance!

Thank you Arianne for the invite!

Just wanted to show you a sneak peek.

It was too dark outside to take good pics so I'll take better pics and repost.

Special thanks to Chastity for gifting me the skirt!

My intention was to get it shortened but decided to wear it in its original state one time before I altered it. 

Admittedly, the skirt is a whole lot of drama but when else will I get the opportunity to wear a ballet skirt to a real ballet!??!

Go tulle or go home!

You'll see this skirt...a lot shorter next time...but you will see it again:)

Better pics soon...

It's Been A Long Time!

It's been a while, hasn't it?

I have good excuses reasons but I'll save them for another time.

Let's blame it on Blogger being down for a couple of days.

What?

It's TRUE.

Blogger was down!

So that's my reason.

The pockets on this skirt are fabulous!

My school year is winding down and wedding planning is in high gear.

I never really mention that I'm planning a wedding because I don't want to turn this into a wedding blog.

Like we need another one of those!

But I will give great highlites because you won't believe the gifted people that have come through this blog that will have a heavy influence on that day:)

I will say this...it won't be one of those "awww look at her skip on fake rose petals down the yellow brick road then watch them stuff cake in each other's face and everybody laughs because he got cake in her hair" type of events.

I don't have time for all of that foolishness and HOMIE DON'T PLAY THAT!

And my wedding shoes are leopard print for goodness sake.

I wouldn't have it any other way...but you knew that:)

It'll be lowkey but fun. Emphasis on fun.

 I'll share bits and pieces after it's all said and done.

 Today, I had the pleasure of meeting Yvette, owner of Belle Curve Boutique in Houston.

Chastity from The Curvy Girl's Guide to Style introduced us. (She knows everybody!)

I got to see some of the latest Spring items and I even got to play with the dolls style a few of the newer pieces!

I had great fun and the pieces are fab, affordable and I even taught Yvette that leopard print is neutral.

My work on earth is done!

If you're in Houston, drop by Belle Curve and check out some of the goodies!

Yvette told me she started her boutique because she got so frustrated with the sizing of online stores and wanted to make fashion accessible to curvy women! Tell her I sent you and give her a big hug for me:)

P.S...These pictures SUCK hot boiled eggs! I'm working on getting my real camera back in operation.

*The vintage skirt I'm wearing is technically supposed to go to SFAM but I threatened encouraged Juanette to let me try it...for business purposes of course! (kinda loving it & keeping it) We are each other's personal shoppers so it's hard giving up goodies! *hangs head*
