spring fling

had a chance to get gussied up on saturday and wore my new elva fields necklace.

WOR-SHIP elva.

wore it with this gray chiffon number from calypso sans belt.  obvs.

 {via LG's closet- thanks, liz!}

also dug these bad boys out of the closet.  sorta cheesy i know but they work well with the gray.

since i wasn't purchasing a "new " dress or shoes -  i splurged on hair & make up.

here's the look i went for . . .

so i didn't look exactly like this twenty-something supermodel but it was a solid attempt by the gals at andrew michaels and rouge cosmetics. {maje props for not laughing in my face when i told them i wanted to look like this beauty}

 btw, loving my new lip candy - paula dorf's flamingo

and NARS new larger than life lipgloss in Odalisque 

now gearing up for the main event.  a very special shelby gets married this weekend!  i pretty much die of excitement. . . 

if i can stop jumping up and down long enough to post this week, i will.

oh and SJLD in full effect.  OBVS.

SJLD: part deux

as some of you may recall, before my miami trip i was working with a trainer. 

 SJLD was no joke.  i was a psycho, not eating one extra almond without permission granted from fitness guru, sarah junk.  it was working but i fell off the wagon {obvs} . . . and it hurt.  so now i'm enrolling in sarah's new program.  This will be a slightly less intensive regimen, as I informed sarah that realistically i cannot give up the booze {apparently it has no nutritional value?} 

 so here it is- sarah's new plan, that you can do, too! 

 straight from her because another thing i can't do is use the word 'fierce'. haha.  seriously, that word is not coming out of my month.

here's a pic of my inspiration, jen.  i tried to channel her last year by buying her new perfume.  that didn't work {or smell very good.  womp}  so now it's up to junk. . . and me, i guess.

or maybe i'll just carry smart water around and no one will notice my less than rock hard abs.

oh and jen -hey, girl, hey.  let's grab a margie next time you're in town. 

twig & thistle OOC oscar soiree

as if the gorge gowns are going to give us enough to swoon about on sunday, check out this DIY, complete with free printables, oscar party on twig & thistle. 

so. lovely.

i think the clever addressing of the invites is my fave part . . . 

you!  if you head over to twig & thistle to take advantage of all these adorbs printables. {including the invites, oscar ballots, place cards, drink tags, popcorn boxes, and even that handsome oscar statuette!}

i sadly had to decline a delightful invite for popcorn, champers, and gown-critique.  womp.  i'm calling my current lifestyle : SJLD {super junk lock down}. and close proximity to that glorious oreo cake is not ideal for SJLD.  

i hope the rest of you indulge & enjoy on my behalf!

happy oscars!
