Le Diner en Blanc

Dinner-tableI was invited to attend my first Le Diner en Blanc inspired White Party at an undisclosed location in San Francisco until the day-of the event with my friend as her +1. Luckily for us it turned out to be quite a warm San Francisco evening as we drove to Golden Gate Park for a special two-table VIP treatment and dinner put off by Acura and Handmade events. The rest of the crowed bought their tickets, set up their tables and chairs (provided), and decorated their seating areas with intricate details (see more photos on Jessica’s blog post).

4-pics-in-1We were served a delicious meal with appetizers and dessert which I filmed a good bit of on my YouTube channel, also check that out.

Of course we wanted a few outfits of the evening, so I asked Jessica if she could take some pictures of me for the blog. Especially considering I was wearing my fancy new sandals by Free People (which were sent to me for review, after I picked them out).

Outfits of the week

Ah such an easy post to do, yet sometimes I don’t feel like my outfits are that photo-worthy. For instance, my Forever 21 jeans (the ripped one’s) are basically my at-home-uniform. I bought them so I wouldn’t wear out my good pants, especially if I’m cleaning the house, or on the floor playing with Alfie. So they’ll usually make an appearance more than once throughout the week.

My husband’s birthday is coming up soon. I’m planning a few things for him, but I can’t say what yet in case he reads my blog. But he does know that we’ll be taking advantage of some touristy things in the San Francisco Bay Area throughout the month of October, because we can’t let those coupons go to waste. I’m also pretty sure we’ll make another stop at the delicious Ghirardelli Square for a huge ice cream pig out.

What did you guys get up to this weekend, or did you lay low? Later on today I’m heading to my follow-up appointment with my hive-doctor-dude. Swear to jeeezshhhhzu he better give me some answers other than “keep taking allergy pills til they go away” … yeah, in 3-20 years! I certainty hope they’re not chronic because lawrdjaysus I can’t handle that itching. If I take what he “prescribes” me (it’s an over the counter allergy pill) it gives me incredible gut-wrenching pain in the middle of the night where I have to stay away for 1-3 hours. So, I’m allowing my body to now tell me what to do, rather than some medical professional I just met. I mean….

Wait. I was totally on a ramble spiel there for a moment. You were here for the outfit’s of the week. Alright alright, let’s get to it. These were outfits I wore last week. P.S I’m totally chaneling my inner-Megan on Thursday wearing leggings and a long tee. Don’t you think? :) ootw

Outfits of my week

After I mentioned I’d be bringing back outfits of the week I only kept it up for one week. Fail on my part! I had been taking pictures continuously for the second week then dropped off the face of the selfie planet for a few weeks there after. Fret not… here are some more self timed portraits for you to take a oggle at! I’ll try to remember to take daily pictures again. It’s easy to forget, especially since it’s been close to 2 years since I had been doing it regularly.

I need to say something about this even though you guys probably didn’t even notice. Here’s me bringing attention to it! The second last picture was taken at 6:30am before I headed out the door to attend an all-day blog conference in San Francisco. I had caked on too much makeup in hopes of covering up my hives, hence the weird colouring/flash photography and chunky jawline lol :(

If you’d like me to continue weekly OOTD’s, please comment! :)outfits-weekly
