Last minute holiday shopping was stressing me out… So I decided to add a little bit of color to the chore. Sure enough, the bright colors brightened my outlook. And the geek chic glasses definitely didn’t leave room for anything except smiles.

Last Minute Holiday Shopping
Glasses, Wet Seal. Scarf, Shorts, and Bracelet, Forever 21. Striped thermal, Gap. Shoes, FD4. -
Let’s Paint the Town… Magenta
Dress, Forever 21. Shoes, Lui Chinny. Earrings, Betsey Johnson. Winter doesn’t mean only reds, blacks, silver, and gold… Color is still a huge option and one that should be exercised liberally… Especially if you want to stand out in the crowd. Usually I’m not a fan of the monochromatic look, but with such a simple outfit (hair straight back, magenta dress and shoes, and dangly earrings) the monochromatic look worked.

Halloween… Time for Cinderella to Go to the Ball… And Get a Bit Angelic
Halloween fell on a weekend. That meant two nights of parties. In Santa Barbara, two nights of parties means two nights of running into the same people. Therefore, having two costumes was a must.
I thought Halloween was the perfect excuse to be the perfect little angel… The last minute costume find was a steal. But the wings only stayed on for about 3 minutes. Just enough time to work my way through the crowded room and poke everyone’s eye out with my feathery weapons. Oops. At least I got to keep on the fuzzy halo.
The second costume allowed me to indulge my childhood dream of being a Disney princess. Mission accomplished. Though, when the cartoonists sketched the delicate Cinderella, I hardly imagine that they had the idea of a 6’2″ California girl in mind. Not like it mattered… my Prince Charming surprised me by showing up at the party I was attending. Guess those (size 10) glass slippers did have a little magic in them.
