OOTN: Birthday Night 2012

Last week Thursday Aug 9th was my official birthday but somehow I have been celebrating and just barely recovering  from the last part of it this weekend. I sure don't recover from a hangover as fast as I used to lol.

For my birthday night look I wanted to keep it clean and simple as I am getting a bit pickier about what flatters my body. Opted for this peplum style look with a creme top and creme and black shoes to tie into the the look.

I hope you can see the peplum has a long tail in the back I loved that about it.

Collar necklace: Charming Charlie

Highlighter: NARS Albatross, Miss Adoro Lashes, Maybelline Bold Gold Color Tattoo and  a black brown shadow on the crease.

Lipstick: WetnWild 511b

Vintage Belt I added

Pumps: Catwalk

Friend Day: Adriana

Hello lovelies! Today I wanted to share a post with you all that is a few weeks overdue. I titled it Friend Day because that is exactly what it was a day to catch up with a great friend whom I met through our blogs. That friend is Adriana from Little Petite Blog.

She is such a sweet person and although we had met since last year through the blog-o-sphere we met in person late last year and I was honored when she said I was the FIRST blogger she has met in person! We took some time to hang out we are both busy with school, family, among other daily tasks that need to be completed.

We met up for some Yummy Chinese Food and then went to find a location for some infamous outfit of the day pictures. Adriana knows many good locations that are not crowded and shaded from the bright sun. After our photo session we headed to a coffee shop and did a little bit of shopping in the nearby shops as well as browse through thrift stores.

Being silly while shopping.

The only good picture of both of us.

It is truly a blessing to be able to share on this blog and it has become more of a journal as well as a way to meet great people who understand this whole blogging concept. I appreciate this outlet and I cant even count the true friendships I have made with many of you. Thank you xoxo

Nostra Style House Rare Bird Fashion Show

Last Friday I had the honor to be invited to Nostra Style House Rare Bird Fashion Show which showcased the clothing and style this locally owned boutique has to offer. I met with Phoenix Bloggers Angela and Joanne and Tiffany (links to their blogs on their name) we had some drinks and sat front row to make sure we get the best shots for our blogs.

The venue was perfect it was Monarch Theatre in Phoenix which offered great lighting and enough space for folks to be seated and several bars to order drinks from. I knew about the event on a short notice but I was very happy and pleased with the setup and the entertainment. In addition to the fashion show which included live performances from Flamenco Por La Vida as well as Dulce Dance Company. As the fashion show and performances ended there were various photographers taking pictures of the fashionistas and all the outfits. It was a great experience to support a local woman owned business as Angelica Gonzalez is the proud owner of this boutique and I am looking forward to shopping here for some of the edgy looks seen on the runway.

The setup I liked the tropical plants.

Swag bags waiting for us.
