What I wore + photos from Katy Perry concert!

Wheee! I'm still super pumped from this Tuesday... Lillian, Emma and I went to see Katy Perry perform her first US show (which happened to be on my birthday!) and then afterwords we got to meet her!! It was such an amazing time! Katy puts on a awesome show - great singing and dancing, super cool stage set ups and costumes to die for! I'm so in love with the dress she had on in the meet and greet photo above... Actually, all of her show outfits have inspired me to try to make a few for myself. They were so creative and fun!

Before the show we met up with our friends Emily and Pip in the lobby and took some photos at the Schick California Dreams photobooth. Pictured above left to right: Emma, Jason, Lillian, myself, Emily and Pip!

And of course, what I wore to the event...

• Cherry Dress - Lizard Thicket
• Bow Belt - Charlotte Russe
• Bow Espadrilles - Mod Cloth
• Bird Necklace - Hot Cakes Design
• Leopard Print Nail Stickers - Gift
• Whipped Cream Cherry Ring - Onch Movement
• Hair bow - Claire's
• Katy Perry bag - merch booth

I originally had a different purse on me, but I put it in the cute tote bag I bought! Looove the design!

It's my birthday!!

Ok, ok... so its technically not my birthday until Tuesday, June 7th... but I celebrated my birthday early this weekend with some close friends of mine and Chris's. It was a really nice turn out and I feel so lucky to know so many fun and kind people!! 

Before the party started I had Chris take some pictures of me goofing off for my "What I wore" posts - I was so excited I forgot to put on my gold belt that came with the dress though! hahaha

What I wore - Birthday girl style!

• Dress - Betsey Johnson
• Leopard flats with rhinestones - Betsey Johnson
• Heart necklace - Tarina Tarantino
• Cocktail ring - Tarina Tarantino
• Mystic Topaz ring - custom made
• Birthday tiara - Party City

Fun story about the dress I'm wearing - I had been wanting it for a long time... I saved up money for a few months, waited for it to go on sale, and then ordered it in April! Then I stored it in a closet until this weekend so it would be a surprise to look forward to... Kinda crazy since I bought it for myself, but I'm so glad I did because it made it even more exciting when I finally got to wear it! 

Chris took a ton of great photos of my outfit and my lady pals at the party, plus there are a few of the decorations and cake... so keep reading to see the rest!

What I wore + photo update

I took a *ton* of photos this past weekend, so this is probably going to be a longish post. Hope thats cool! ;) Here is one of my recent "What I wore" snapshots...

I wore this on a dinner date with Chris to go see "Pirates of the Caribbean 4" last Friday! I thought it was a great cheesy excuse to break in my new sailor style dress... haha - I also dug out an old necklace I hadn't worn in years of an octopus - to be in the theme even more! My favorite part of the dress is the little sailor neck cape.

• Linen sailor dress - Forever 21
• Cardigan - Macy's
• Purse - Lollipop's Paris
• Minnie Mouse bow - Disney World
• Octopus Necklace - Indie Craft Experience Atlanta
• Leather sandals - Cydwoq

 

And here is an outfit snapshot from this Monday! I rode my bicycle to meet my friend Emma for pizza - it was such a nice day!!

More details and photos inside, along with other pictures I took through out the days! <3 Keep reading!

What I wore - new hair and more!

So, last week I went from this

to this...!

That's right, no more pink!! I've been so busy with work plus preparing for weddings, Mother's day and what not that I haven't had a chance to update my blog and tell you guys! I had really been missing my natural hair color for the past few months, and finally decided I was ready to go back. I went with a natural black shade rather than black brown though because I thought it would be a little more fun! It still has a hint of pinky brown when the sun hits it sometimes... What do you think? I'm so happy with it - it's been really fun to have healthy looking hair again and to be able to wear more of my wardrobe with out it clashing. Very stress free for sure!

And now onto the "What I Wore" part - here is what I wore to Chris's company dinner Monday night, along with some other photos I've taken recently:

Dress - Lizard Thicket
Cardigan - Nordstrom BP
Necklace - Tarina Tarantino
Purse - Lollipops Paris
Minnie Mouse Bow Keychain - Disney World
Bow espadrilles - ModCloth
Nail stickers - Girl Flower by Sally Hansen 

After hearing so much about these while I was working at Ulta, and then lots of blogs I follow mentioning it - I finally decided to test out the Sally Hansen "Salon Effects" nail stickers... I wanted to try the leopard print but they were out, so I opted for this cute print called "Girl Flower"! I really really like it!! I've had it on for over a week now and it hasn't come off at all - super cool! It feels like my finger nails are painted like tiny little easter eggs because of the pastel colors.
