friday's fancies #34 + friday's letters.

friday's fancies #34: meet me at the (color) block party.



ok, so first things first.

obviously, i wouldn't wear this to a legit summer time BBQ jeans-and-a-t-shirt block party.

where would i wear this? well, on a night out with the girls, of course! and that's exactly what i'm craving at the moment. this diane von furstenberg tamika color block stretch crepe dress, perfectly paired with these miu miu peep toes, would no doubt be a hit for a nice sit-down dinner, followed by drinks at at a dimly-lit wine bar [and who knows - maybe some karaoke later into the night...]. it seems i've gone a bit off the deep end, deciding a night out also warrants not one, not two, not three, but a grand total of four chanel products. but can you really blame me? who doesn't ache to own a classic chanel quilted shoulder bag? and just imagine how luxurious that creamy eye shadow, lip stick, & nail polish is bound to feel upon application? last, but not least, for a playful punch of color, i'd adorn my ears with these juicy couture bold solitaire earrings, because they are too much fun!

when i'm back in shreveport in the coming weeks, i will be making a night like this happen. ok, so maybe i won't be wearing this exact outfit... but that's not the point. right?
dear dad, i am excited about possibly getting to work for you. dear anna claire, i've been loving our daily chats of late. dear jenny, you are getting married so soon! i absolutely cannot wait. we are going to have so much fun at all of our compiled upcoming events. dear kara, i hope you are soaking up every last bit of your time in paris. i can't wait to hear all about it! until then, i'll just live vicariously through all your facebook photos. dear justin, i'm not thrilled about the fact that we're about to enter into a long-distance relationship again, but i know that the end results will be more than worth it. i'm so excited about our future together! dear adults everywhere, let's remember to act our ages, shall we? dear justin, thank you for putting up with my meltdown about not having a job. i'm horribly dramatic, remember? thank you for dealing with me on those days when i'm having one of my 'fits.' dear mom, i hope you're excited for all the fun wedding planning we're about to embark on. it's going to be so great to get a lot of stuff done, & i know we're going to enjoy the process. dear nottoway, see you in a little over three months. dear motivation, please stick around. dear everyone, let's have ourselves a merry little weekend. i know, i know, it's june... but i am craving christmas time something fierce.

bon weekend!

That dress is to die for. The pink is so subtle, but pops at the same time. Does that make sense? haha

Justin had to turn on the air conditioner again last night.  It's October 26 - doesn't that mean the heater can stay on? Doesn't...
