Derby Update

So as you may know, the Kentucky Derby is this weekend!!! I can't believe it's here! After a lot of searching/meltdowns, I think I have decided on a dress! It's different than my original choices, but I think I am happy with this one:

I am going to wear it with nude Christian Louboutin Yo-Yos and a straw colored hat. I will post more pictures from the Derby of course on Monday.

What do you think?

Congratulations to my girl crush

Miss Carrie Underwood won Entertainer of the Year for the second year in a row last night at the ACMs in Las Vegas! Woohoo! I am very happy for her!

Winston's Weekend

So this past weekend, we decided to take Mr. Winston for a swim in a pool. It was his first swimming experience, but since he's a lab, I had no doubt that he would be a natural. And he sure was!!

He had soo much fun! We had to drag him out of the water when it was time to go!

Loving my minnies

I ordered the Minnie Pants from J.Crew during their 20% off/free shipping promo. AND I LOVE THEM! I am so glad I ordered them, and I see why everyone else loves them. Here they are, with a Tory Burch Simone dickie:

Winston = exhausted

BUT he is feeling much better! Not much of a cough left!

I am cracking up over these

Derby Dresses

So I got home late last night, but all my sleepiness went away when I saw a box from DVF at my door. Derby dress #2 had arrived! I took some quick pictures so I could start the decision-making process. Here they are:

The first dress is the Diane dress in a pattern called Feather Fountain. Love this print.

The second dress is the Kate Spade Connect Four dress.

I have a feeling this is going to be a toughie. I think I am leaning toward one, but I'm not 100% sure yet. ANy thoughts? I apologize for the poor quality pictures, I will try to take some better ones soon!

Random Tuesday Update

Happy Tuesday everyone (if that's possible. But hey, it's better than Monday!) So I thought I would just give an update of how everything has been going for me, so here it goes:

- One of the two Derby dresses I ordered has arrived (the Kate Spade dress). The Diane von Furstenberg dress will be on my doorstep tomorrow, so then I can make a decision! I will post pictures and updates! If I go with the DVF dress, I think I am going for the Louboutin You Yous in the camel color. Any advice on his sizing? Once I find a hat that matches, I will be all set for the Kentucky Derby! I am starting to get really excited!!! I can almost taste the mint juleps now.

- Winston update: My little guy is already 8 months old! I cannot believe it! We took him in to get fixed about a week ago, so we had to put the lampshade collar on him for a while. I felt so bad about that, but I didn't want him pulling out his stitches. Well on Saturday morning, we woke up and he had gotten sick during the night! I thought he had chewed on and swallowed part of his collar (which he had, so I took it off). He was sick most of the day on Saturday. Poor baby! On Sunday, I made him some rice, which is supposed to be good for doggies with upset tummies. He was able to keep it down, which was a relief. However, he sort of had a cough, which scared me! Monday we took him in to get his stitches out, and they said they think he has kennel cough!!!! I didn't think they could get that after having all their vaccinations, but I guess they still can! I feel so bad for him! If it doesn't get better by Friday, back to the vet we go. . . .

- I tried out the airbrushing/spray tan on Friday. I think I like it. It doesn't look fake to me at all. I can see how this could be addicting.

Here are some new goodies I brought home with me:

Kate Spade Annapolis Agnes Sweater

Tory Burch Suede Wedges

Two Questions. . .

1.) Has anyone ever done a spray tan? I want to do one before the Derby, so I am doing a test run tomorrow. I am doing an airbrush session, so someone sprays it on me rather than just standing in a booth. I know I need to exfoliate (which I did this morning), and shave beforehand. Anything else I should know? Does it look good? Oh they also told me to wear loose clothing.

2.) Should I?
