You didn’t think I’d take a trip to Niagara Falls, and not post any photos of the falls, did you?! It doesn’t matter how many times I see it, or from how many different angles, I can’t help but always take a million pictures.
I realize now that I don’t have any of the American falls posted here. While Boo is more of a fan of the American falls because of all the rocks below, I much prefer the Canadian Horseshoe falls. And well, I had the camera… :).
The day before my birthday last week, Boo and I spent the day up in Niagara Falls. As soon as we crossed the border, I wanted to head straight to the Butterfly Conservatory. For all the times I’ve been to Niagara Falls, having grown up in Buffalo, I had never been to see the butterflies! It was magical, by the way. As soon as you step in, they are just fluttering around all over the place. The entire time we were in there, I just kept saying “woooooow” over and over again.
After that we headed to the Falls (I’ll share some photos tomorrow), and then spent the evening enjoying a super delicious steak dinner, and trying our luck at the casino. I wanted to pack really light, so instead of having a change of clothing for the evening, I just converted my orange dress from day to night! It’s amazing what a change of shoes and a hoodie and denim vest swapped out for a pretty shrug can do.
Somehow my camera ISO got turned way up while we were in the butterfly room, resulting in super grainy photos. That makes me so sad when that happens :(

I’ve never been much of a nice handbag type of girl. I’m more likely to be carrying around a canvas tote than I am an actual purse. But lately, I have been craving a good bag. It’s number one on my current wishlist, and have been checking out all the possibilities non-stop. These are just some of my favorites!
Thank you all for the birthday wishes the last couple of days! Its been a splendid long weekend back in WNY. Although, I must admit, I was a bit jealous of the gorgeous weather back in Boston yesterday. It was a gloomy, cold, and rainy day in Buffalo. Blargh. But carrying around Ross Geller’s face on my jacket made it a much brighter (the cupcakes and candy and birthday celebrations helped too) and gave everyone a good chuckle. You know, back in the day, I always thought Chandler was my favorite Friends character. But these days, I’m realizing that the majority of my favorite episodes are Ross episodes. I mean…. paste pants? unagi? Oh, I love that man.
Sorry to those of you that don’t watch Friends. But really, you’re missing out. Seriously.

Today is my birthday! The big 2-7. But here is a little throwback to my fifth birthday. That Barney went with me everywhere, by the way. Even school. My teacher would let him sit with me at my seat. And at my party, we played pin the tail on the Barney. True story.
Anyway - luckily, I am still at home with family for my birthday! Boo and I spent a night in Niagara falls, just the two of us, and had tons of fun. And tonight, my mom is making my choice for dinner. I chose tacos. I always choose tacos. Always.

I always have such a hard time when someone asks me to describe my style. I like to think I dabble in a lot of different styles. You know, whatever strikes my mood that day. One day I might be in a pretty lithe floral dress with girly pink pumps, and the next I’m pairing some leopard print with spiked heels and pretending I’m really edgy. Obviously, this day I was feeling the latter.

Ok, so, I had never been to Vegas before. But I love NYC with all the lights and craziness, so I figured - how different could Vegas be? Right? Um, yeah. Personally, I think Vegas is like NYC on steroids. And maybe it was just because we just spent a week out in the quiet desert, but Vegas was a bit overwhelming when we first arrived. So many people. So much going on. But we warmed up to it after a while. We walked the strip, stuffed our faces, tried our hand at some slots (no such luck), had muuuuultiple frozen hot chocolates at Serendipity, and saw a Cirque Du Soleil show. It was actually a lot of fun!
p.s - this is the last of our trip photos. Phew, we made it through!
