Thank goodness. I am so ready for the weekend to begin. I anticipate a little "me" time this weekend and I am so very much hoping that my writer's block just slips away... Positive thoughts for a full day of writing on Sunday.
At some point this weekend I will be heading to the movies. Hmm, any ideas of what I will be seeing...? None other than The Avengers! Sadly, I won't be seeing it with a really good friend of my mine, Bill. However, his wife and my bestie, Brenna, will begrudgingly be going in my place. I know she'll enjoy the movie because of the eye candy, wink wink. Right? Right.
Tomorrow, I have a short event for Blondie's Shop. I say short because it's 10am to 3pm, whereas the last 2 events were over 8 hours each, a very long day indeed. So, be thinking positive thoughts for the shop! I'm on a mission to spread the word about my note cards + invites + announcements.
Today's the day. My favorite day of the week, Fashion Friday and Friday's Fancies. We have a fabulous theme courtesy of Alison over at {long distance loving}, Decked out for the Derby! Obviously, in honor of the Kentucky Derby tomorrow.
My pick to with the Kentucky Derby is Liaison for the win. It's 50-1 odds but, I'm going with my choice anyway. And Liaison is such a beautiful horse don't you think? *Fingers crossed* on my pick! Since I like a good wager...who is your pick for the win tomorrow?
Alrighty then, let's move on to the snazzy little number I'm wearing to the Kentucky Derby. I was aiming for the 3 "C's"...chic, comfortable, colorful... And I think I nailed it? You tell me.
I chose a simple orange Balenciaga dress. Remember I've been working on stepping outside of the "neutral" girl box by adding more color. Baby steps. I did however, stay true to my neutral girl ways and choose neutral coordinating accessories. Because of course, I needed to leave room for the fabulous derby hat! Actually, I chose a fascinator and it's super comfortable and lightweight because it's a headband well, sort of. You get the jest, right? Makeup: my standard smokey eye with a twist...va-va-voom lashes. The lip will neutral with a hint of sparkle. See, I just can't get away from the neutral look. Slowly but, surely I will feel absolutely comfortable stepping outside that box.
Ladies, have a fabulous Friday and don't forget to participate in the linky parties. You can visit my good friend, Kori over at Blonde Episodes for Fashion Friday or Alison over at {long distance loving} for Friday's Fancies - Decked out for the Derby!
