Sunday Funday!

This week was the first time that a short work week actually felt like a short week to me!  Probably because I was super busy at work.  I worked more hours in 4 days than I usually do during a 5 day week lol.  I finally felt a little better towards the end of the week and went back to the gym for a couple weight sessions.  Although I started coughing like a maniac after yesterday's workout so my bf told me I couldn't go back to the gym anymore lol.  I guess it's a good idea.  Sigh...

No to/from, since it's been SO hot here lately.

Last night, I went to dinner at the Water Grill in Santa Monica.  I've decided it's my now favorite restaurant lol.  It was my first time back since a couple years ago when they served me sea bass with cold/raw center (the downtown location though).  But this time they totally redeemed themselves.  Plus you can't beat the view at the Santa Monica location since it's right on Ocean.  Here's my dinner outfit:

Anyway, time to head out!  Hope you had a great weekend!

Equipment Tegan Ikat Print Silk Shirtdress

As mentioned on the last Sunday Funday post, I went to Santa Barbara last weekend and was not well-prepared for the warm weather.  I had jeans on and it was soooo hot!  So I stopped by Nordstrom and picked up a dress on sale.  It turned out to be pretty cute too!  It is the Equipment Tegan Ikat Print Silk Shirtdress, from $348 to now $139.  

Not feeling those shoes with the dress on the model pictures.  I feel like since the dress is calf length, you have to wear heels or you will look like a shortie.  But I'm always in heels so that's just me.  =P

I got this dress in size S.  It is 100% silk, has hidden buttons all the way down, and the waist tie is removable.  It would probably be cute with a skinny belt too.  I was pleasantly surprised that after wearing it to sit and walk around in all day, it didn't really wrinkle.  

I think this is my first dress that's this length!  All my other dresses and skirts are short, knee length, or long.  It's nice to have something different.  I'm pretty sure I can wear this to work in the summer as well.  I think the color in real life is closer to how it looks in my photos rather than the web photos.  It's definitely a darker shade of teal.  

I am beginning to think about a late summer vacation, and I think this dress will be great for that as well!  The sale price is not a super steal, but not bad either.  I actually saw it on one of the actresses on the show "Mistresses" this week.  Looked cute on her!  Hahaha.

Sunday Funday!

Well... this week didn't go as well as I had hoped for my cold or whatever it is that is making me sick! Basically I felt better, worked out once, got sick again.  This time it came with a nasty cough too lol.  But it seems to be getting slightly better now so maybe next week will be the week I finally get back to the gym??  I don't even dare to hope anymore.  Just going to see how it goes, I guess!  

Monday 6/27 - Rest, this is what I wore to work though.  It's been so hot here!

Top:  Express Sleeveless Lace Yoke Blouse

Bottom:  The Limited Belted Pencil Skirt

Shoes:  French Connection Maya 2 pump

Tuesday 6/28
What I did:  Strength #1 from the new month of Get Glutes, month 18, followed by 20 minutes on the treadmill.

What I wore:
Top:  Zobha Double Layer Tank
Bottom:  Splits59 Nova Capri Tight
Shoes:  Nike Free 3.0

To and From:  Splits59 Viper Dismount Pullover

Wednesday 6/29 - Rest.

Thursday 6/30 - Rest.  Sick.  But I went to this charity comedy show event at the Laugh Factory.  I thought I was dressed appropriately, but turned out I was a bit under dressed lol.  Didn't know people were going to be all decked out for a comedy show!  But there were some celebs there, so maybe that's why.  Whatever!  I wore:

Top:  Banana Republic Trench Dress

Belt:  Burberry Embossed Check Belt

Shoes:  Vince Camuto Faran Wedge

Friday 7/1 - Obviously no gym.  But here's my work outfit for casual Friday:

Top:  Romeo & Juliet Couture Dolman Sweater

Bottom:  Black Orchid Jegging

Shoes:  Christian Louboutin So Kate Pump in Tissu Scarabe Digitale

Saturday 7/2 - Speaking of casual... just to prove that I am not always wearing heels (lol), I actually venture out of the house looking like a bum sometimes.  This outfit is representative of those times... hahaha! 

Top:  Express Baseball tee

Bottom:  Athena Marie Pant

Shoes:  My TOMS for Audi shoes that came with my Audi lol

Ok then I got it together a bit, and here's what I wore to dinner on the same day!

Top:  Express Oversized Drape Neck Pullover

Bottom:  Black Orchid Noah Super Skinny

Shoes:  Christian Louboutin Dalida Pump

Sunday 7/3 - Today, I went to Santa Barbara with my bf for a day trip.  We left early-ish in the morning and spent a lazy day in Santa Barbara, then drove back to LA after dinner.  It's really only about 1.5 hour drive from where we live.  The weather was very nice and much warmer than I thought it was going to be (stupid iphone weather predictions are not very accurate).  So I pretty much over dressed by like 2 layers.  I actually had to stop by Nordstrom and buy a dress to change into while I was there because it was so hot... Lol.  I really like the dress though.  Will need to share later.  But here's what I wore:

Top:  H&M tank

Jacket:  Caslon Drape Neck Zip Cardigan

Bottom:  Black Orchid Jegging

Shoes:  Vince Camuto Faran Wedge - these shoes are super comfy and I can walk all day in them!

And that's it for the week!  Tomorrow is 4th of July so I have the day off from work - woohoo!  But right now I am very tired after a long day out.  So it's bed time!  Hope you all had a great weekend!

DVF Dress & Aiko Top

I got these items from ebay a while ago, but I forgot to post about them!  A white DVF sun dress, and an Aiko top with leather sleeves.  They are both older styles, but I was able to get them brand new for very cheap!  I forget the exact amount I paid, but I want to say like $50 for the dress and $20 for the top.  The dress looks very similar to the DVF Kayley Eyelet Dress that's on sale right now.

This dress looks like a wrap dress, but it's actually not.  The bottom is closed.  So you have to step into it.  This is my normal DVF size 4.  I think it's perfect for the summer, and pretty flattering for being white!

The Aiko top I got is cool because it's got genuine leather sleeves.  It is a bit strange to have such a thin shirt with leather sleeves.  But the leather sleeve only covers the top portion of each sleeve.  So it's not that hot.  I got it in size S.

I've always had major love for baseball style shirts!

At first I was worried about not being able to wear this shirt, but I've already worn it a couple times!  I have not worn the dress yet, but 4th of July seems like a perfect time for it!
