Day 18 - Alligators Like Hot Dogs!

Worn on February 18th, 2011

tee and sandals: Urban Outfitters, shorts: JCrew, scarf: Gap

30 for 30 remix- day 18: Oh no! Our last day in Florida :( Goodbye 70/80 degree weather, goodbye wearing shorts and skirts without tights, goodbye free laundry in our hotel room. Hello…. 30 degree weather and so not fun laundromats. Poo. 

Anyway, Boo and I spent our last night here grabbing an incredibly yummy steak dinner and playing a few rounds of mini golf. I didn’t win. I rarely ever do. I always start out really good, but get careless by the end and just start randomly hitting the ball. Speaking of the golf ball, that hot pink clown nose I have down there? That was Boo’s ball. I chose a pretty sky blue one, and he went with …. hot pink. Haha. And then we fed some alligators (they eat hot dogs!).

Day 17 - Wishlist to Real Life

Worn on February 17th, 2011

blouse and skirt: Anthropologie, socks: Urban Outfitters, shoes: Madden Girl, clutch: Fossil, necklace: Gift from Boo

30 for 30 remix- day 17: So, awhile ago I did this outfit wish list post, and yesterday I realized I now own all of the items in that outfit (including the necklace, I just didn’t pack it). So obviously I had to wear it. And I really like how well it translated into a real outfit. You know, sometimes you can plan an outfit, but it never looks as good on as in your head. But that wasn’t the case here. I liiiiike it. Some bold colors and and crazy pattern mixing - definitely me. 

So do you guys follow me on twitter? How about bloglovin’?

P.S - My legs and arms got a bit burnt. Can you tell?

Day 16 - I like the word Fancypants

Worn on February 16th, 2011

dress: Ann Taylor Loft, Cardigan: Anthropologie, tights: Urban Outfitters, shoes: Madden Girl, clutch: Fossil

30 for 30 remix - day 16: Yeah, I just wore this dress 2 days ago. But thats what I get for only packing a couple fancypants items for a week vacation. This was for another dinner - this time at The Palm at the Hard Rock Hotel. Apparently proposing wasn’t the only trick Boo had up his sleeve this trip. He had arranged for a limo to take us to and from dinner, as well as drive us around Orlando for awhile. It was fantastic. What a brilliant fiance I have. 

Hey, its only been a few days. I can still show it off, right?

Day 15 - Yeah, I don't have a good title for this one

Worn On February 15th, 2011

tee and sandals: Urban Outfitters, skirt: American Apparel, headband: Anthropologie

30 for 30 remix- day 15: Phew, half way there. I actually am not that tired of the challenge as a whole yet. I’m a little sick of the few things I packed for this trip though. I wish I would have packed a few more items. Oh well! 

Boo and I went to Universal City Walk for dinner last night and to walk around a bit. So I kept it cute and casual. We also kept ourself busy at dinner by snapping random pictures of each other (see below). We got some pretty funny ones, but I’ll save that for another time. 

Day 14 - A Pirate-y V-Day

Worn on February 14th, 2011

dress: Ann Taylor Loft, tee, sandals & sunglasses: Urban Outfitters

30 for 30 remix day 14: No I didn’t wear red or pink for Valentines Day. I didn’t pack any- clearly I wasn’t thinking. But that ok. Boo and I, because we are awkward and random, did a little awkward and random Valentines date. We went to a Pirates Dinner Adventure. You know, like actors dressed as pirates putting on a show while you eat and cheer on your sections pirate. Hilarious. I loved it. 

Oh yes, and I made a twitter. I’ve always said I would never do this. I’ve always been a little anti-twitter. But its hard to avoid it! And its for the good of this blog, so its ok. So yeah, wanna follow me? Find me here, or follow the link to the right. 

Day 13 - You're a Wizard, Harry

Worn on February 13th, 2011

tee, sunglasses, & sandals: Urban Outfitters, jeans: BCBGeneration, hair clip: H&M

30 for 30 remix - day 13: First off, Happy Valentines Day everyone!!! I’m a day behind on posts, but Boo and I have an… interesting Valentines dinner date tonight. So I will post that tomorrow. 

This is what I wore on our second day at Universal/ Harry Potter world. This is actually the exact spot Boo proposed the day before ( thank you all of you for your kind words!), and I really wanted to go back and take pictures there, seeing as I didn’t have my camera the day before. It is a magical place, I tell ya. I didn’t want to leave Hogsmead! But now I get to spend the next few days relaxing in the sun by the pool, doing some early wedding planning/ browsing. 

Oh yes, and the wonderful Sara from SK{ru}SH tagged me for the Stylish Blogger award!

I believe my duties are to tell you all 7 random facts about myself, and then pass it along to some other lovely, deserving bloggers. Ok, so here we go:

1. This one is in my about me section, but its one of my favorite stories. My very first memory is my mom telling me that my favorite dress, this bright blue quilted dress with little white hearts all over it, didn’t fit me anymore. I was devastated. All I wanted to do was wear that dress. I cried my eyes out. 

2. At home, we have a dog named Sassy and a cat named….. Sassy. I refuse to call the cat that though (because we had the dog first), so I just call her Kitty or kiki. 

3. I love our hockey team - the Buffalo Sabres, and I’ve met a bunch of the players at signings and what not. But one time, I saw our all star goalie in the grocery store, walking right at me. I got so nervous and didn’t know what to do, that I just held my breath as he walked by. I’m such a dork. 

4. In 4th grade, I performed a, lets say, “interpretive dance” to No Doubt’s Don’t Speak. Awwwwwkward. 

5. I’ve recently become obsessed with the idea of having 3 boys named Dexter, Desmond, and Demetri. But those names def. don’t go well with Boo’s last name. 

6. Boo asked me to be his girlfriend, almost 6 years ago, in my bedroom full of paper seagulls. He had hung them all there while I was out.

7. Why seagulls? Little seagull was a nickname my friends called me in high school. On our french exchange trip, all my classmates got these amazing lunches packed by their french families. My family packed me very odd things. So I was always going around eating everyones yummy scraps and leftovers. Like a seagull. 

Alright, and now to those ten other lovely ladies. I’m not sure who has had this already or not. So feel free to play along. Or not. Its up to you! :

Day 12 - BIG News!

Worn February 12th, 2011

shirt: Gap via Buffalo Exchange, shorts: JCrew, necklace and tights: Urban Outfitters, sunglasses: NYC street vendor, shoes: Keds via Buffalo Exchange, purse: H&M

30 for 30 remix- day 12: First day in Orlando! It turned out to be a lot chillier on saturday than I expected. I mean, it was no Boston, but I’m lucky I packed a pair of tights at last minute. I was even cold with them on. We spent our first day at Universal/ Harry Potter world. It was a.mazing. Oh, and that big news?

Day 11 - Leaving On a Jet Plane

February 11th, 2011

blouse and cardigan: Anthropologie, jeans: BCBGeneration, shoes: Keds via Buffalo Exchange, jacket: Theory via Saks Off Fifth

30 for 30 remix - day 11: Yaaaaay, I am on my way to Orlando! This is what I’m wearing on the flight. I usually prefer to wear dresses and skirts on planes, but i was a little constricted, not only by my 30 items, but which of those 30 items I was packing. None of the dresses/skirts seemed appropriate for a flight, or a late night flight. So I went with jeans and a comfy flowy blouse. And some layering pieces of course. 

I will be posting while I’m Florida. Wheee! Well, at least, I’ll pick up posting on monday. The main point of this trip is for Boo to take a class for his job. So while he is in class, I have nothing to do but lounge at the hotel (hopefully by the pool) and be a good little blogger.
