Friday Fancies : Lovely Lace

I have been on the hunt for the perfect lace dress {in my head, it's black with creamy beige lining underneath in the exact cut of these beauties} for a while now. 

Not that I have an occasion or anything.
But that's the thing with lace.
You can always find a reason.

In the case of this Valentino version I could find at least two.
So, naturally, I included both colors.
A girl can dream.

Friday Fancies : The Costume Prep

I haven't dressed up for Halloween in years.

But if I did, if I did, the look would be vampire fashionista.

What else would you call a vampire that is wearing a Dolce & Gabbana cape, Jason Wu dress and Louboutin spiked heels?

Exactly. 

It would also be my excuse to finally wear a birdcage veil. 
And way too much MAC Russian Red lipstick. My very favorite red.

Friday Fancies : Road Trippin'

The last road trip we took was B.C. {before children} and it still remains one of my all-time favorite vacations.

My husband and I were a year or so into our relationship and he was itching to take me to California. He had been once before and never quite got it out of his system.

We flew to Los Angeles, rented a car and drove. And then we drove some more.

All the way up highway 1 to San Francisco and then back down to San Diego. Through the desert into Las Vegas {my favorite part} and then on to Arizona. 

I remember wearing a little floral dress. And jumping out of the car to snap a pic in front of every "welcome to..." sign we encountered.

I would love to go back to that time just for a day. 
Except wearing these boots. And carrying this bag.
