my birthday suit...

SO, I have had a totally awesome birthday weekend so far and I have chronicled my outfits in iPhone photos! My goal once I move and get settled into my new place, is to have a good photo set up to start doing outfits justice!

***

Friday I wore my "Who Killed the Newspaper" tunic hoodie that I bought in Hong Kong with some leggings and my "What do we do when we fall off the horse?" boots :o) and my FAVORITE Dior stunners.

I actually got quite a few compliments on the Newspaper top! Even from the lady at the Target fitting room- who knew? haha

and I am starting to feel like Justin Tranter from Semi Precious Weapons with my Trouve leather jacket in so many pics- but his awesome jacket was part of my inspiration bug to find this jacket anyway so it works!

On Saturday (my actual Birthday) I realized there was no way I could go without getting one of the MAC Wonder Woman belts, so I picked myself up and got ready to go to the MAC store un Uptown. I figured what better day than any is my BIRTHDAY to wear my Monster varsity jacket. I thought the girls at MAC would be more into it, but I just got weird looks! Although at Urban Oufitters the guy that rung up the cute top and iPhone case I got was LOVING it! :o)

I also wore some custom dog tags I had made that say my name, birthday, and "WALK THE WALK"

I got them after this quote came out from Gaga's Rolling Stone interview-

"When I wake up in the morning, I feel just like any other insecure 24-year-old girl. Then I say, 'BITCH, you're Lady Gaga: You get up and walk the walk today.'"

and I do say this to myself now, well, with my name inserted haha... LAHV it

I got the dog tags done by http://www.soldiercity.com/

VERY inexpensive and they ship fast!

For dinner, I ended up going out to an AMAZING Greek restaurant in Uptown with some super cool chicks from work. I know this looked good because on the way back to my car I got a "Girl you know you lookin good." from a friendly stranger... haha, I will take it!

Also must have scared some poor Minnesotans "Ohhh nooo, I hope you don't FALL in those" haha! I just gracefully and carefully walked over some ice while saying "I know how to walk in my shoes" before using the crosswalk like it was a runway and showing them who was boss!

The jacket and pants are Trouve and the top is Wessex, shoes Forever 21! ha, they are some of my favorite shoes though!

and since the iPhone photos don't showcase my accessories here you go- it's a good thing that Wonder Woman card came in the mail YESTERDAY! haha, literally after I went to 3 MAC counters in 2 days collecting my haul!

Han Cholo chain hoop earrings

L.A.M.B. watch

name necklace

& random bangles and stud bracelets and such

My birthday ended up being super awesome and even Capital H-I-M gave me a present, a BEAUTIFUL sunny day!!! I was even able to take Dukes out to run around on the frozen lake!

dogs need good style too!

so I took Stacey's mentioning of our dogs in our profile as a free pass to make posts about my dog!

I am in need of some pampering and a "pawdicure" myself... but I have a tattoo that is still healing so my pedicure will just have to wait.

Dukes's "talons" as we like to call them, were getting out of control, so we went out to take care of that :o) he's such a little charmer! sitting and giving his big old puppy eyes for anyone that looks like they might pet him or give him a treat. If I were a guy he'd be the perfect chick magnet lol.

and of COURSE- I had to get him a new sweater and at the last minute stocked up on treats too :o)

nails did-

The sweater is from the "Top Paw" Fall 2 2010 line- I was happy to find something more boyish, and that fit him! Good job Petsmart buyers! He's wearing the XL which he usually needs, but he probably even could have fit in a L, Boxers are so hard to fit with their barrel chests but this works :o)

and it was on sale!

handsome!

he couldn't find the doggie version of Men's Vogue :o(

but he did manage to charm the salesgirl enough to let him up on the counter for his treat :o)

ALTHOUGH! he let the spoiled-ness get to his head... I should have known better the way he was drooling in the Taco Bell drive-thru (no joke). This little effer stole the nacho cheese off the coffee table!! he knows better!!!

What do you call cheese that is not yours?

NACHO cheese!

bad Dukes! hope he enjoyed it! lol

maybe one day Dukes will be lucky enough to have a spa day with Moss and Bella :oD

30,000 feet up and you are not invited

I am not sure how successful this post will be since I am on a plane to Cali right now... but I will try

I will keep it short and sweet... this is a tribute to my awesome L.A.M.B. Zeyn boots that I packed and hope to wear in Cali, and a funeral for my long, natural, blonde hair

R.I.P.

you may be gone but you're never over...

and on a lighter note... someone wanted to play instead of watching me take photos with my boots :oD
