Adventures On...

The Red Carpet!

Alright, the red carpet may be a slight exaggeration.  When I say red, I mean the brick streets of Dormont, and when I say carpet, I mean the confetti style kind at the Hollywood Theater.  Embellishments aside, I did attend a movie premiere! My cousin, Christy, lives in LA and co-wrote and starred in an independent film called The Complex. They had a premiere in LA and decided to have a second one in Pittsburgh this past March! I was so excited for an opportunity to see my fam and to get all dressed up with GC. After much deliberation, as in 6 wardrobe changes (naturally), I decided on an LBD, the obvious choice. It was a fantastic night!

Black Flower Studs

I purchased these gorgeous earrings at a Nordstroms Rack in Cleveland, OH, after a college visit.  I bought a few other things that day, but I was thrilled that these were marked down to $12.  When I got home, I was looking at the receipt and discovered that these incorrectly rang up at only  $0.99, that's right, 99 cents! I felt bad about it, but I could not do anything from Pittsburgh! I basically wear these anytime I'm trying to look classy, or if I am trying to dress up a not so special outfit such as jeans and a black v-neck. Works every time.

Virginia Tech Relay for Life was this past weekend and we raised over $550,000 for cancer research!!! So proud of my school for supporting a cause that is so close to my heart.

My version of fun on the weekends? Painting. This past weekend I tackled a Lilly print and a fun splatter job (which I hilariously executed in the suite shower).  I actually did not have any plans to paint this weekend, but when my friend, KH, dangled a trip to Michael's in front of me, I jumped on it! What started as simple browsing, lead to these two wooden words.  I just couldn't pass them up!
