I know on Fridays I normally do a post about how to style a certain piece five ways, but I have been going back through some of our photos and realized I hadn't posted this outfit yet! Shame on me! This is guiltiest pleasure from American Apparel. This top haunted me for a few months before I gave in, rushed back to the store, and bought this beauty! In this particular post, I paired it with my fabulous leather shorts from Topshop while bought on vacay to London. (I want to go back sooooo bad) I have the travel bug REALLY bad lately. I love the look of the feminine top paired with the mini leather shorts.
Since having the travel bug, my husband and I were dying to go to Vegas this weekend, but the flights were crazy expensive, so we settled on driving to our state's capital Austin, Texas! I will be posting our weekend adventure and of course taking video on this new flip camera! You will also see my new haircut in these pictures. Did I mention I cut 5 inches off the back!?? I know it is a big deal I guess! So, stay tuned!
Now onto the outfit!
I received this little white technical device for Christmas last week called the Flip. I have spent this entire week video taping almost every single thing we have done. I have been throwing it in my purse at every chance I get, I mean why not? It is actually smaller than my cellphone!
Well, this year for NYE my husband and I decided to go out, get dressed up, and do something fabulous! So, we rented a hotel room at the Hotel Sorella at Houston's new City Centre and had a delicious dinner topped off with dancing in the park, fireworks, and cupcakes. I thought this would be the perfect time for me to make my first Flip video. I have to say it was pretty easy after downloading all of the clips straight from the camera and into iMovie.
I decided I would wear my own version of a tuxedo this year. So I took my LBD, layered a bone colored, puffy sleeved blazer overtop, fastened my new bow tie from American Apparel, and slipped on my patent red pumps. I was ready for the festivities to begin!
Take a look at our New Year's evening and my first video with the Flip!! And once again, Happy New Year to All!!

I was so delighted to get my brand new tutu from American Apparel after a wonderful giftcard was given to me by my bestie, Queen B. I cannot tell you how long I have been waiting to buy a tutu, and I never dreamed that I would get to shoot with it at a night time carnival. We had a ball doing these photos and I am sure everyone there thought we were crazy (we got lots of stares and glares), but then again, we are!
So…..I know nobody ever thought that bodysuits would come back around, but guess what!!?? They did!! I just bought an all lace black bodysuit from Forever 21 and it is amazing! American Apparel is also offering a lace bodysuit in black, cream or navy. It can go with anything from destroyed jeans to black slacks for a night out!!Who would have thought the 90210 bodysuit would be kickin again?? So suit up ladies!
