Last Minute NYE party dress distress?

Are you a procrastinator? Like myself, who waited till just now to write this blog, I can definitely say I RELATE! I know what its like running around like a chicken with its head cut off, because you've waited till the last minute (yet again......) to pick out the PERFECT NYE dress (or anything else for that matter).

One of the best things about shopping is, it's now so much easier to do! Although it is definitely too late to order anything on line, you can certain check to see if those items are still available at the store.

So where do you start?

Well, what kind of dress are you looking for? Long, short, super short? Maybe something a little more conservative if you're going to an office party? Forever 21 is one of my favorite stores to shop at! It has a wide selection of beautiful, and AFFORDABLE dresses.

The reason why I bring up affordability is, well, lets face it... NYE is a night for drinking and staying up waayyyyy past your bed time. So with a combination of Drunk, and tired people you may find yourself with a drink spill on your hands. Although Dry cleaning is a life saver, I would rather lose out on $30.00 than $300.00. So, unless you've just got that kind of money, I would opt for something a little more budget friendly.

So, with that being said. Let's throw out some new years eve options, but I will admit... I am partial LBD's. I don't know why, that's just who I am. So, I had to force myself to throw in some color as well.


I love a beautiful strapless dress! If you've got sexy décolletage don't be afraid to show it!

Scalloped and Asymmetrical Tiered Dress
Price: $22.80

Ruched Satin Sweetheart Dress w/ Belt

And that concludes this weeks meeting of, Procrastinators not so Anonymous. I hope everyone has a safe and prosperous New Year! See you next year

Glass Half Full.

Christmas is next week! Can you believe it? I know I can't. This year has gone by extraordinarily fast. Hopefully next year will go by a little slower.

So with it being the holiday season, that means New Years is right around the corner. With New Years always comes the infamous "New Years Resolutions." So I am going to blog a little about that. By all means, don't wait for New Years to start implementing this information if you don't already. But for some, it's not easy change that is made. So, here I go...


Being a human being everyone knows what it feels like to be criticized. For EVERYTHING. Sometimes, we are our own worst critics.. And it should stay that way. What I mean by that is, how many times have you looked at someone, and said something like.. "If their nose got any bigger they would be Pinocchios twin." Don't you think that person doesn't already KNOW they may have a larger nose? Or if they're over weight? Or a have lazy eye? Or big ears? I mean, we know every little detail of imperfection about ourselves... Am I right? Don't you ever look in the mirror and think some like, "Oh Great! There's another dimple on my thigh." or " If this gap in my teeth gets any wider I am going to be mistaken for a field goal." Do you feel like that's all people stare at? Doesn't it make you self conscious?

Do you realize you probably look at people all the time, and immediately think about the negative things? Even when we look at beautiful people, it's so easy to find the negative and tear them down..

Instead of being so negative and thinking negative thoughts. Why don't we all try a little harder to be positive. There's something beautiful in everyone! I don't care who you are.

It should be programmed into our brains that when we think something negative, we immediately replace it with something positive. Doesn't everyone like a compliment? So instead of whispering to Peter, Paul and Mary about Janes snaggle tooth, why don't you tell Jane how beautiful her complection is? Or, how gorgeous her Hair is? It may not always be a compliment about appearance. How great would it feel to hear from someone that Mary said you were kind, and caring. Instead of hearing rumors and lies?

This world would be such a better place if people would quite saying such negative things, and focus on the positive.

I personally am trying to implement my own advice into my daily routine. I want to try and be a better person. I am a firm believer that if you think positive thoughts, Positive things will begin to surround you.

I hope everyone is safe this Holiday--


Positively Thinking,
Stephanie

SOTW- Week 6

Hello my lovelies! I hope you all are enjoying your holiday season! I am totally in my holiday spirit. I love this time of year, but it will quickly be over and I can't help but look at the fashion for Spring 2011. So this week, I have a Steal of the Week for you, that you can add to your Christmas List, instead of being added to the waiting list!

Christian Louboutin Hyper Prive
Price: $ 795.00

These are certainly some sexy Peep toe pumps. It's a wonderful way to balance out an outfit that has a lot of color. Now, for some of us, after buying these shoes we won't be able to buy anything else. So I have something that won't break the bank for you.


White Peep Toe Pump
Price: $12.99

These shoes are similar to the Loubs in the sense that they have the ever so popular red sole.
They're a wonderful alternative if you need to recover from all your holiday splurges!


I also have another shoe if you don't like the look of plain white shoe that has a buckle detail.

Paprika Camas White Buckle Pumps
Price: Sale $32.00

SOTW- Week 5

Hello my lovelies!

So, the holidays are coming up quickly, and for some of us, (With Lives) we will be attending holiday parties! So i figured, why not make this post about a Glamorous LBD. I know it's time to take it up a notch during the holidays and it's definitely more acceptable to get away with a lot more glitz. In particular Sequins!


So, I have my Splurge!

Nanette Lepore Party All Day Sequin Dress

Price: $298.00

I love this dress as pictured with some wonderful stockings and booties! But to spend almost 300.00 on a holiday dress? If you've got the extra money to spend during the holidays.. Hey, More power to ya! If you're like the majority of who love the look but cringe at the price. As always, I have a wonderfully beautiful alternative!

Charlotte Russe Fitted Square Sequin Dress
Price: $39.50

I don't know about you but I love the price tag on this dress! I could handle $40.00! Plus, if this dress snagged, I would be sad, but it wouldn't be as sad as a 300.00 dress!

With the beautiful Capped Sleeve, and a mid-thigh length you could pull this look off during the warmer months too.


I hope you all have a wonderful Holiday no matter what you celebrate!

Looking Back...

We all had first love... For us girls, we all at some point can remember writing practicing our cursive with their last name.


Looking back, I swore I would eventually have your last name. I swore we would be married, and I could in vision me making you dinner. I remember the time we skipped school and hung out at your house all day. Inside I was pretending that's what life would be like.

I found out you got married. It's kind of crazy thinking how SURE I was that you were my forever. Now, someone else gets to write your last name.

Life changes so fast, and time goes by in the blink of an eye.

I wish I would have spent more time being a kid, and enjoying life.. before Reality kicked in. I guess as some point everyone reaches that stage where they think... Ok, maybe my parents were KIND OF right. And maybe I could have done things a little different. Especially, when you have a kid! I can only imagine the advice I will give Tristan that he won't listen too. One day, he will come to me and tell me he wishes he would have listened. I would give anything to go back. School wasn't that hard, and not having any financial responsibility was actually really nice. I felt like I always had to clean back in the day, but that doesn't compare to having to maintain a home, and cleaning up after a toddler.. Phewww! If I would have known then, what I know now......

Maybe I wouldn't have to be looking back.. maybe, just maybe... I would be signing your last name.
