Polka Dots!

The other day, I wore my favorite dress I've gotten from Laura's Vintage. My mom bought it for me while she was here visiting this summer and it's all my I Love Lucy dreams come true.

I wore it to the vet for my miniature schnauzer Pearl's annual exam (it went well, free of parasites and her seizure med levels are good!). And then, I went to Panera with my husband for lunch afterwards. It was such a nice day--70s! 

 I love how this dress plays peek-a-boo with my back tattoo.

A Kiss To Build a Dream On

Today I decided to walk down to the Enchanted Florist because I heard they had some bunches of lavender and I wanted to fill our apartment with that lovely scent because it's one of my absolute favorites (plus I want to do a watercolor study of it tomorrow). Luckily they had 4 bunches left!

It was such a great day today weather wise that I couldn't let myself pass it up and hurriedly got dressed and headed out! Pearl got way more smiles and compliments than I did, which is as it should be. She's darn cute!

The Enchanted Florist is located on Columbia street just off Pearl street and it has the most beautiful store front ever.

While trying to take a photo of my bunches of lavender with Pearl while sitting on a bench in Tricentennial Park, I accidentally got my skirt completely wet from my flowers. So, I had to sit there for a bit to dry off and Pearl really enjoyed the view!

 

I eventually got a good photo with both Pearl and the lavender even though she much preferred to people watch than look at me.

 

Now I'm back at home with the windows and back door open to let the nice breeze air out the apartment.

Back In Your Own Backyard

Or park! My husband and I decided to go to the dog park at Washington Square Park today after taking our miniature schnauzer, Pearl, to the vet this morning for her annual checkup.

It was quite hot and humid and Pearl didn't even pay any attention to the other dogs because she was so miserable. So, we decided to head home and chill out in the A/C. But not before we took a few photos of my outfit for today!

It's been quite a while since I've updated because of just being busy and not thinking to photograph my outfits! I'll try to be better at that from now on.

Happy 7th Birthday, Pearl!

Pearl is seven years old today, which is pretty apt since it's National Spoil Your Dog Day!

We decided to have lunch with my husband, then afterwards I brought her to Petsmart (the only pet supply store around where my hubby works) to get her a couple of birthday presents. 

Here she is in her birthday hat that I made just for her. Lol!

I bought her two presents, one-a Kong toy that she immediately loved and two-a Martha Stewart Pets bunny. I especially got the Kong Marathon toy because she tends to eat chew toys whole when she should just slobber on it until it's gone. This seems to be working wonders and I love that I can get refills for it. She's currently chewing and slobbering all over it. I think this will be her new chew toy we set out when we go out without her!

I had plans to go out on a picnic blanket and read while she frolics outside, but it's simply too hot. She's enjoying her new Kong toy anyway! Haha

Bettie Bangs!

After watching Bettie Page Reveals All, I started to think whether or not getting Bettie Bangs was a good idea for me. So, of course I went to Facebook to ask everyone who pays attention to me, what I should do. (By the way, I highly recommend watching that documentary because it was simply amazing. It really gave a better perspective of the Real Bettie Page than the biopic movie the Notorious Bettie Page ever did)

It was a pretty much unanimous Yes!

I shot my hairstylist, Halie Jay, a message once I acquired some extra dough and made an appointment at Patsy's Pin Ups.

By the way, she bought that dress at L.L.Bean! She looked absolutely adorable!

Pearl patiently waiting for me to be done with my hair with my husband on the bench nearby.

I absolutely love them! I can't wait to be able to play around while styling my hair.
