Thank goodness this week is over! Seriously I am amazed that someone or many someones are still alive. This week seemed to go on forever! Or maybe that is because last week ran into this week since I worked last weekend. Ah crap and literally just got the phone call M's G-ma passed today. I know things could be worse it just seems that everything piles on top of one another at the same time.

So in order to pick up my spirits I am going to rehash my wonderful photographer Candice at Serendipity Studios. Oh so many pretty's.

Remember wayyyyy back when I gave you a tiny tiny peak of the shoes, and then I shared some pictures here and here. But here they are in their full glory. I love you Louboutin.

All the details from the day, seriously some of the most rocking pictures are those that remind me of all the little stuff.

Me and the sisters.

Love both of these

Pretty sure we should be in a magazine.

All photos above from Serendipity Studios and my lady Candice.

Here are a few more from my sister during the wedding. This one pretty much resembles my life, purple teeth :)

Oh the car. What they didn't know was it was going to pour rain the next day and wash it all away.

Hope everyeones weekend are going well. Here is to hopefully having a little slower week.

So not winning.

So since I started the new job my responsibilities have almost tripled (yes I started in December) how the hell can responsibilities triple in a matter of 3 months! Life sucks in regards to work right now. And that leave less time for blogging, I know right!??!

But I have a number of things keeping me busy outside of work as well.

A little bit of this:

Seriously, NEVER again. Wow just noticed the wall looks a little blue, totally grey.

Way to much of this:

Which did lead to some wish list items (well really just one). 

Oh and of course cannot forget my new favorite beauties!

I love getting a new pair of shoes at 60% off!

Of course a lot of hanging out with this beautiful girl.

Yeah, she is filthy, but she has that glimmer in her eye like woooohooo! 

Been hanging out with her doing things like this:

Seriously, no better place to live! Bay Area!!!

So hopefully I will force myself to get back to blogging because honestly, I miss it. Miss catching up with everyone. So until next time, happy trails.

Repeat...

Sooo this is a little not out of the box but I think it is a little funny, yes yes I am totally biased but M has been on a take picture of the kids rampage.

Yep a small game of tug of war was going on last night.

I decided to give you guys a little preview of my beautiful wedding shoes.

Yep that's all you get, but they are beautiful and I cannot wait to wear them on our wedding day. The other shoes I will share once I wear them, they are pretty amazing too.

Off to bed!

Some pretties

 NoSo I mentioned here and here about these Tory Burch wedges. I finally was able to sneak them out of the car and into the house, when it comes to shoes I like to quietly rotate them into the collection (although M ALWAYS notices). So here are they are!

Ahhhh, a perfect add to my wedges, I have tan, bronze.. etc but no chocolate brown so now I do! Now I just need a cute summer dress that will go with them and then I can put on display on Sunday for the Bridal Shower. Wow come July I think we are done with weddings except for ours and the little sisters. Oh joy joy.

So tonight to try to make everything go a little better this week I am sitting in front of the tv with something so delicious next to me. Yep one of my new favorites, how I love spring and summer brews! By the way I am pretty amazed by my ability to have the light ok in this picture. Seriously I need photo classes or something cause I suck! Alright I am off... on to try to finish my shoes. Yea I kinda hated the big studs so I took them off and am now doing smaller ones. One day I will finish them. Alright totally random post but well thats how my brain works. Have a good night.

ohhhhhh so pretty

Great scott! I found them and not in denim and they were swell.  Picture to come once M is at work tomorrow since shhhh it is a little quiet right now.

There here!

Yea they are here and they are super cute in person (yes I was a little worried). Cannot wait to show them off! In very good news: the building I work in won some Green award and are doing Champange and food with a band in about T-minus 1 hour. Yea!

Christmas tomorrow

So I was going about my morning business and reading all the blogs in my daily reading and I headed over to check out what Tiffany at I am Style-ish had going on today, and shoot, should not have gone there, like whoa. Umm did anyone see the Badley Mischka ruffle shoes she had up? Drool. So I did a quick little google since Nordstrom (where she had them linked) had only a size to small for me.  Well I found them at endless.com. So tomorrow I will have these little babies handed to me at work:

source: endless.com

So cute right? I have been looking for some new black pumps too. Oh and if you guys have never heard of ebates.com and do online shopping (bananas I know you are a guilty party) then you should really check out the website because apparently you get cash back in the mail for purchases made online. I will let you know when and if I actually get money back (like whoa I actually just looked and February!?! Well guess I have more time to accumulate).

Hope everyone has a great hump day. Dinner with the sisters tonight and I am going to introduce them to the 30 day shred, like whoa didn't know videos could actually make you sore.

Hmmm why am I saying like whoa so much, hopefully that ends quick.

My guilt

So I told you all earlier that I had a lunch time today that lead to pure guilt after. Well here is why:

I have a serious problem, do they have rehab for shoe addicts? M needs to get home from China so that I have something else to do. So as for the serious guilt I feel? I believe that is due to him too.  As we move forward with saving for a house together and pay for a wedding I realize that my spending not only effects me but him as well.  Therefore I need to stop just going and spending a ton of money on a pair of shoes, ugggghhhh life. Somedays I wish I could go back to the irresponsibility of my early 20's, not that it was more fun or anything but I sure cared a lot less which was good and bad but what can you do.  Well I guess I should show you a picture of the actual shoe huh?

The CL Bianca uuuhhhhh drool.

Earring and bracelet debacle

So my brother's wedding is in Florida in T-minus one month and this is my dress for the day.

Now the debate that I am continuing to have is in regards to earrings and bracelets. I don't really like wearing necklaces with halters because it drives me crazy so I thought find some cool longer earrings and some bangle bracelets.  Now the problem is I cannot decide on where to go with it.  Any help is appreciated I am getting down to the wire (yikes) here if I am ordering online.

By the way the shoes are going to be either my silver Choos (seen here) or these gold Stuart Weitzman (which I will also be wearing to my little sisters wedding in April).

Hi-ho hi-ho

It is back to work I go.

I took another day off yesterday because I have not been able to feel better. So I took another day and slept till noon! The last time I slept till noon it was because I had a little to much fun the night before (ooopsie).

So today I decided to dress the part of a healthy person and dressed in a dress with of course good shoes. For anyone in the Bay Area who loves shoes Footcandy is the place to be.  I discovered them awhile ago, and fell in love.  The great part is the owners also own a winery, wine and shoes, WHAT?

So the other great thing is that Carolyn Butler (owner) started working with designers to create a special shoe to benefit Golden Triangle Asian Elephant Foundation.  To my knowledge Casadei was the first designer to work with Footcandy to design a shoe, since I have seen Manolo and Christian Louboutin designs as well. Well when I saw the cute pair by Casadei and that they benefited elephants I thought why not? Well here they are. The shoe is a peep toe, patent leather, with the RED heel! I love.

I was wandering over at saks.com today and help I think I have found what is NEEDED for fall. Feist your eyes on these my pretties the Christian Louboutin Platform Ankle Boots.  YUM is all I can say, do you think I could use the excuse of being depressed about not having our offer excepted on the house to run out and buy these?

What do you gals think? A reason for splurge??

Reflection

So 8 years ago today our U.S. history books added another major incident to the pages.  Since then lifes have changed and been lost. A big thanks to the U.S. troops serving overseas, you are greatly appreciated and are forever in my thougthts.  Ok I got that out of my system but now it is time to reflect on the positive, the blueBerryman wedding weekend extravaganza.

The weekend started off on Friday night when M and I got down to Monterey.  We decided on Hula's for dinner and had one very tall refreshing drink. I had a hurricane and M had what would have been

a scorpion bowl, had it been in a bowl and big enough for 4 people. After these drinks (and the beers we had before dinner) we were feeling mightly fine! We then moved on to the hotel bar for some more delicious drinks by our fav bartender there Jenny from the block.

See the box there at the bottom, that is a big box of teacake bakeshop. Deliciousness!! After the cupcakes and the sugar filled drinks M decided to do a photoshot of me. Of course me being the always serious person I am he got these.

Ah la supermodel and my classic cross-eyed tongue out posse. Funny thing discovered by a coworker a few years back, only one of my eyes goes cross eyed, the other just stays straight. I know you were dying to know that information.

The wedding itself was Saturday held at the Monterey Plaza Hotel and Spa. All I can say is awesomeness! Gorgeous backround of the bay and it was an absolutely perfect day weather wise. Of course I got to wear my amazing Manolos (sequined, peep toe, mary-jane). Love me some shoes!

 Also if you are looking for a place to eat in Monterey we loved the Trailside Cafe for breakfast two days in a row. Their blueberry pancakes were amazing, so was the breakfast burrito (perfect hangover cure). Just dont go in the bathroom, there's a jungle cat in the bathroom.

We ended the weekend with a little aquirium visit so we got to see the seahorse exhibit as well as the new great white shark, those things are scary, the black eyes freak me out. I couldn't ask for a better weekend, great weather and good friends.

M and I, Montery 2009

Tomorrow we are headed up to Alexander Valley for Robert Young Ranch day. cannot wait to taste the Burnpile cabernet, I have been waiting all year for it.  So cheerio my boos hope you have a fantastic fun filled weekend!

Fendi-rama

I am so excited!!!

My Fendi bag is finally coming. So for the last couple months I have been looking for a new bag to go back and forth to work. My old Coach bag is starting to show all the love it has received and therefore I thought it was about time that it was replaced. I have had this bag for about 5 years now and use it everyday to and from work, so it was definitely time. So a couple weeks ago on Hautelook I grabbed a Fendi medium shopper

Super plain and all but I got it for a steal and it will be a great work bag!

The bag being on its way slightly makes up for my mishap Friday afternoon/evening


Does anyone else do this to their shoes? I tend to do it more often while having a few beverages of choice and is totally my fault I am a walking disaster. That does not mean it doesn't bum me out and now my Tory Burchs are ruined :(

Wonderful weekends

When it comes to weekends, I could not ask for more.

Since Friday was my self designated no more crabby days, I dressed the part to make myself feel better (dressing cute always makes a day so much better) and of course I was wearing the Louboutins.

These were my first pair of Louboutins, in which I feel head over heels in love with the shoes. I wish I could collect them and have a closet full.

On Friday the boss decided that he had checked out at 2 pm and it ready for happy hour. Thank goodness, I was so excited. We took the walk down to Pier 23 and started with buckets of beer and continued through the night.

Saturday was a bit of a bummer, spent most the day inside hiding from the 100 degree heat. Really where is this heat coming from?

Today was awesome. I decided that I would head downtown Walnut Creek, this place has changed and for the much better. Headed over to lululemon (how I love their Grove pant) and found a pair of gray pants (woowwweee) usually they only have black so I scored. Then headed over the the Free People store which by the way I lovvvvveee me some Free People. Somehow I ended up at the Tiki bar with my sister and her boy... ahhh Sunday Funday.

Anyone else have a great weekend?
