Holidays and Birthdays!

(Thank you Pink Stilettos for including GFS in your feature!)

FRIDAY NIGHT

I had a busy weekend. First, I went to dinner to celebrate a family friend's bday. During that dinner, I realized how much I don't know what's going on in the streets. The girls were talking about bars and clubs and hang out spots...and I had NO idea what they were talking about! Whatsoever. I tried to keep my cool and nod my head like I really knew what they were talking then would run to the restroom to write notes in my phone of the places they mentioned! LOL!

Thrifted Tux Jacket c/o Fashionnette-Work!

Zara cigarette pants

Target Tee and Earrings

Nine West Heels

Charles David Clutch

I decided to rock the tuxedo look. Plus it was all black and lately that's all I've been wanting to wear:)

I passed by this beautiful window display at Donald J. Pliner shoe store on my way to the bday dinner at Smith & Wollensky's. Isn't it fabulous!?! Can you tell that there are shoes in the little floating bubbles?

I ran into the lady who put the display together as she was closing up the store. I so wanted to ask her to unlock the door and let me take a pic INSIDE the display!

Here is the fabulous bday Girl, Candace! HOT, RIGHT!!

This is all I want in a classic shoe. As soon as she told me they were by Pour La Victoire, I immediately decided that this is THE shoe I want for Christmas. Hands down! Period. Point blank. Well those and the Leopard heels by LAMB (look on my sidebar for those beauties)

Shoes found here! I NEED them In red! NEED them (size 8 or 8.5 Santa)

SATURDAY NIGHT

Saturday night, I went to a dear friend's Christmas party. Still wanted to rock all black but with a little funk thrown in there. Hence the statement earrings from ALDO and the blue Paris Hilton heels.

I wore a different thrifted tux jacket, Spanx Tights, Target tee and skirt and Aldo earrings.

(Here I am sleepwalking after such a busy weekend!)

....and a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO Juanette from Fashion Nettework!

(I want to be you when I'm done being me!)

Roomies

(Tracee Ellis Ross)

If I had a low enough IQ to sign up for a reality show like Jersey Shore...I would request to have Tracee Ellis Ross and Victoria Beckham as roommates so I could play dress up in their closets!

(Victoria Beckham)

This outfit is a hybrid of what I would look like:)

I went out to celebrate a friend's bday at a jazz club but got nervous because all I really own are "teacher" clothes. That's when I called Juanette (a blogger turned friend from Dallas) and she styled me over the phone. The only requirements I gave her was that I wanted to wear my hair in an "updo" like Tracee Ellis Ross and rock my leopard heels

Grace Jones Tee: Zara's

Jessica Simpson Heels

JCP Cargo Pants

Thrifted Tux from Juanette

Vintage Clutch

Earrings from International Festival

(I'm liking this hairstyle...it's a good protective styling option)

(Here's the fiance. Side Note...You will never see a pic of me with a glass in my hand...I might become president one day:)

One Lonely Beastie I Be...

(sorry about the wrinkles...long day)

I went to a party this weekend. There was a dj, barbecue and dancing.

You're thinking I went to the club, huh? NOPE.

I went to my nephew's LITTLE LEAGUE football game!

All you soccer moms and little leaguing moms...I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS LIKE THAT!

(Thrifted Men's Shirt/Thrifted scarf/Steve Madden Shoes/Thrifted KOOBA bag)

I went to support my nephew even though he wouldn't know it because he goes out of his way to ignore me. He just gives me the side eye whenever I come to his games as if he doesn't want to be associated with the likes of me. He's such a hater!

Well, I noticed that there was music being played during this game but it wasn't half-time yet.

I look over at the side lines of the other team...THEY HAVE A DJ! A DJ!! With a turn table and all!

OMG! I was so in shock! Really, Little League football is like that now?!?

Here's a rundown of some of the songs that were played:

1. Freaks of the Industry (Digital Underground)

2. I'm Bad (LL Cool J)

3. Paul Revere (Beastie Boys)

4. Blow the Whistle (Too Short...yes...TOO SHORT!)

5. Planet Rock (Africa Bambaataa)

(Cheerleaders doing the Cha Cha Slide during half time)

I pretty much ignored the game at that point:)



 

And because I kinda lost my mind when I heard the Beastie Boys song...here ya go...ENJOY!

*Title of this post is the best line from this song*

Sneakers, Jeans and P. Diddy

Can you believe it!?! I'm rocking sneakers AND jeans! I never do that! It's very rare but it was necessary. I had to go to work today (on a Saturday) to put the finishing touches on my classroom. School starts Monday and I had a lot to do to get ready for the 6th graders!

I wasn't even going to post these pics for two reasons. The picture quality SUCKS and I'm not wearing anything spectacular. But, I decided that I'm pretty transparent with you guys and why should I post pictures like I chase butterflies all day in heels? I don't. I pay bills and watch bad tv and eat cereal for dinner. I don't have to wear heels to do all of that. I will say that I felt most unlike myself by wearing jeans. I hate wearing jeans. It may have something to do with the thickness in the hips or the fact that they are just plain HOT! Wearing jeans in Texas heat is not my idea of comfort but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

(I tried to get a close up of my scarf swag...epic FAIL)

And since I'm in the sharing mood, you should know that I dance really provocatively to this song.  It makes me happy. I watch a lot of reality tv and I notice that models and celebrities have music playing in the background to help them "make love to the camera"during photoshoots.  Yeah...this is that song for me. Enjoy!
