If I only had this to wear in Vegas!



I couldn't resist snapping a picture of this. This is what I strive to wear in Vegas! - A one piece purple jumpsuit.

What should I wear to Vegas: The Shoes

Ahh, when travelling the shoes are always the dilema! Below are the finalists in the "what to wear in Vegas" contest. Maybe you have some input. (keep in mind they have to go with the outfits below.




1. Sparkly Silver heels - These have Vegas written all over them - drawback: I can only wear them for a max 4hrs at a time

2. Sexy black pumps - Basic, go with everything and SEXY - I think I can last a max of 2hrs in these - although maybe if I drink enough the pain will subside?!

3. Natural cork sandals - these are simple, and sexy. I haven't walked great distances in them but for the amount i've worn them I have yet to receive any major blisters

4. Running shoes: In case hickteetch wants to go for a run after the all you can eat buffet at wynn

5. Pin strip vans: these are the latest addition to my shoe collection (only of which a fraction is pictured here) they are comfy, not sexy but might be perfect for walking down the strip

6. Blue ballet slippers - i love these shoes but my feet don't, blister city and i'm the mayor! they used to be great, then stretched out, i've tried insoles but they still fall off my feet. Thought i would bring them to see if OOTG would like them.

7. Trusty thongs - these are the "throw in the purse so when shoe #1 through #3 start to hurt I can switch them out" and/or wear to the LAZY RIVER!!!

The Bridesmaid

OK, so, in about a month I will be the bridesmaid to a good friend who you have all met. It is an Indian-Italian wedding and for the ceremony, saris will be worn (picture to follow). For the reception, I was instructed to buy a black cocktail dress, no other suggestions or preferences were given. Last weekend, I discovered BCBG on Laurier St. with my mother and all the dresses were somehow, magically made for me- they all looked awesome, which is really rare! I bought the sexiest fucking one I tried on. I adore it. Please, allow yourselves to feast your eyes on THE BRIDESMAID'S DRESS. And feel free to share your thoughts on my damn hotness. Ha ha!


Now the issue is shoes. I have lots of trouble with accessories in general, especially shoes. I don't wear leather. And, I have very little fashion sense in general. So.... I need help. These sparkly silver and black babies I bought over the summer and never wore. I just tried them on today and they are comfortable, I like them. I know strappies are probably the sexiest and styliest way to go for the wedding, but I would really like your opinions on these.


Muchas gracias!

Ode to my T-Shirt

This is the new weekly column that I invite you to participate it. I will call it: “Monday’s Pictures for Posterity”. I have too many articles of clothing that I’m holding on to for no good reason. It doesn’t fit, it’s stained or its just so out of style – I never wear it but for whatever reason I just can’t let go. Well at a recent drinking session (where all good ideas are born) someone suggested I take a picture to remember the garment and then let it go. Silly?… maybe, but when I can convert anything into a photo project; I’m game to try. So I challenge you to declutter your closet and play along. On Mondays we need to help each other make the decision to Keep, Toss, Donate or Sell on EBay!

First item up for debate: My favorite White T-Shirt
I know some of you are going to say, “it’s just a white T-Shirt, they are a dime a dozen. Toss it!” --- Well, sniff, sniff it was more than just a white T-Shirt to me. I found it on the Rack at Ross (a discount department store) I was in line purchasing something else and it just called to me – a white beacon in a store full of crap. I didn’t even try it on I just grabbed it in haste and added it to my purchase. This was nearly 9 months ago. We’ve been through a lot together (insert sappy song score of your choice here) Under sweaters, on it’s own. It’s soft and crisp at the same time. It was great with jeans or a cute summer skirt. But alas, the yellow pit stains are no longer bleachable, and just one to many stained coffee splatters make it mostly unwearable. I could add it to my work clothes or toss it in the garbage (insert sobbing noises).

So here I offer it up as the first of many Monday’s Picture for Posterity. (couldn’t even bear to put it on!)

From Dress to Shirt (or Smock?)

Had this dress for a few years, never wore it as a dress. I love the pattern (I so rarely wear things with a pattern). I did not want to give it up so I transformed it, chopped off the bottom and made it into a long wrap shirt. But now I have a fear of it looking to smock like? What do you think?

I know, I know it wasn't really your special day... but it was an event post-special day, and this is what we wore.
