Frock Friday! Repeat performance

So, you’ll notice that you’ve seen most of this outfit before. Definitely the top, jeans and sunglasses. My reason for showing this outfit though, is not to show off new stuff I have. But to show how I wear things for different seasons, and how a change in season allows for different proportions. In this...

Frock Friday: Vintage Fix-it

I got this dress over a year ago because it fit me, and I fell in love with the beautiful printed silk. Problem is, after I got it home, I discovered the armpits of the dress were rotting away and full of holes. So, it sat around in my closet until I got the name...
Frock Friday: Stripes for Spring!

Frock Friday: Stripes for Spring!

Ahh, a work day look, not the most exciting. But it’s outdoors! Glorious Spring is here! So I got the bag I am carrying here because I ruined a purse I got at the end of last year by carrying around so much stuff. This thing seems indestructible, which is a good thing. I’ll keep my...

03.09.12 Frock Friday: Sin City cocktails

Our last night in Las Vegas was a great excuse to get dressed up and go out on the town. My husband and I had dinner at Hubert Keller’s Fleur at Mandalay Bay before heading downtown. Our destination was the Downtown Cocktail Room, a spot mostly inhabited by locals. I was happy to see a...

Frock Friday: The Kills

Frock Friday: The Kills

I was feeling a little under the weather when we went to see The Kills last Saturday night, hence my serious look here. I chugged 2 bottles of water and felt a lot better though. I was super excited for this show because we saw them on tour for the Midnight Boom album years ago...
Frock Friday: Le Fou Frock

Frock Friday: Le Fou Frock

    A couple we’re friends with took us to dinner at a local French restaurant, and I decided it was time to debut a dress I’ve had for a year. It’s vintage, and the tag says “Quality Hill” in a script that looks 1950′s, but I haven’t done any research. The matching belt has...
