Holiday Weekend


Well, hello friends! How's your 3 day weekend going? Mines fab! I'm not doing anything considerably blog worthy, no fancy travels or any of that adventure, BUT we did find a gem of a Mexican restaurant (our new fave!) The hubs actually declared yesterday that he could eat all his meals there... Pat's not one to give that declaration away freely. Also, we (my parents and I, while Pat's locked away in the guest room studying his pants off, while we (my mom and I) giggle and eat popcorn and drink wine) started a new show ( i know right?!?! settle down!) it's called Parenthood, and we're loving it. I mean it's still not Friday Night Lights, but it's a damn good rebound!

Also, what's making this holiday weekend extra exciting and has got us all twitchy is that Pat is taking the California Bar in 8 EIGHT days!!! Oh my, holy moly, it's sooooooo close, I'm having heart palpitations!! I cannot believe it's 8 days away!! It's emotional, obviously I am SO excited to have my husband back and to get to do things again, like see movies, and go on drives, and just have fun without having to think, "this is time you could be studying for the most important test of your life, why are we doing _______" (fill in the blank!) But, part of me is a little bit sad because this past month we've gotten to just be home together, no leaving for work or school, just us, me working from home and him studying, and Carlita napping (seriously ALL day!) It's been really nice (for me at least ;) I'm not the one studying) so a little tiny part of me wishes I could just freeze this moment we have together, because it will most likely be the last time we ever have something like it until.... retirement, then the other part of me is so excited for Pat to annihilate this test from hell and to move on with our lives! So it's been emotional, but I'm enjoying each part of this little journey for all it's unique little silver linings. So sorry for the mush :) But please send prayers and good juju his way, we'll take all we can get :)

Sunday Sunnies

Be still my heart lovers. THESE sunnies! Just. Stop. As painful as it is for me to say this... they could be yours! My aunt is selling these vintage beauties! I sooooo badly [seriously my heart is breaking writing this! (wish I was kidding!)] wish I could keep/buy them but sadly they're a little too swanky for my pocket book :( If you are interested leave me a comment below and I'll get you in touch with her! In the meantime, I will be babysitting them, drooling over them, petting them, coveting them and pretending they'll never leave me... Seriously, I am trying to not get attached, but it's way too late for that crap! It's already to the point of bad break up status! When they go I know I am going to end up alone, watching vampire diaries with a pint of ben and jerry's, online shopping for their rebound! Yes, I am being that pathetic, but if you got to wear these beautes for a day, you would understand! Hashtag// don't judge

Superbowl Sunday


Please excuse my neon white skin. Somebody needs a tan... not naming names ;) Hope you all had a lovely Super Bowl Sunday, I honestly couldn't care less... to me super bowl means beer and fatty foods... some of my favorite things, but yesterdays super bowl meant cleaning the house and then you tubing the Beyonce bowl after reading all the hype on instagram and facebook I just couldn't help myself! Dayummmm Gina! 

Anyway, I felt the super bowl was a great excuse to play dress up in velvet and leopard... basically I will take any excuse I can dream up to dress up in velvet in leopard :) My vintage dress and zodiac boots are from this AHHH-MAZE-ING vintage store called Gold Seam Vintage if you are a fan of vintage treasures like yours truly then check her out!!

Bell of the Ball

Hello Lovies!!! 
Are you loving the Oscars so far!?!?
I love the Red Carpet 
I don't know who my favorite is yet...I'll keep you posted! 

A few weekends ago the Hubs and I went to a Ball!
Every year his Law School has a Barristers Ball 
It's pretty much my favorite thing about Pat being in Law School! 
This Ball was our last so I wanted to go BIG.
I searched ALL over for the perfect dress and could not find anything under $400! 
Then I looked on rent the runway and fell in love with this gorgeous gold number but...
apparently so did everyone else and their mom because it wasn't available on the date I needed it.
So, not expecting to find anything, just curious I searched Etsy and found the most amazing dress ever!
It was from 1988 - also my birth year
(we both have been making bitches hate since 88') ;)
HA
Anyway I got it from this shop: SLV Some Like It Vintage
The owner was so sweet and helpful and when the dress arrived it needed NO alterations!! 
That's when I knew we were made for each other!!! 
So below I will bombard you with the trillion photo's Pat's dear brother Matty took and my dear Mom!!! Bless their hearts!  
Check it!
