Shecky's Girls Night Out - Tonight

I feel like I am not spending enough time blogging, but things have been very hectic. Work has been insanely busy and I don't have much energy for anything else. The Stella & Dot thing is starting off good. I had another party last night, which was so much fun. I met a lot of fabulous women and hopefully can get another banging show out of it. I am at Shecky's GNO tonight at the Cyclorama. If you are town for this event, swing by to say Hi! You can try on all the fun stuff we have...

Me getting my inner stylist and boutique on.

I love this dress, so if anyone knows who makes it... do tell!

If you were a child of the 80's, you may recall bow barrettes. I used to love my black and purple one. A few months ago I came across the website after seeing Ali, from the Bachelor, on one of those "tell all" episodes wearing a gorgeous headband. I became obsessed on finding it, which I did at ban.do. I still look at this site all the time because the stuff is so darn cute and fun. Now, I may not be one to wear a big bright bow on my head (unless, I was going to an 80s party), but you may be, so I thought I would share.

Diet Change

I have been seeing a personal trainer for a few weeks trying to get some motivation to lift weights. We talk a lot about food and what I eat, and surprisingly enough I don't eat enough at the right times AND I drink a lot of Diet Coke. I have been thinking about it a lot and then saw that one of my favorite bloggers, Love Meghan, posted on FB about the harms of DC. Also, I was in the elevator at work the other day and a man that I work with, but don't know, grabbed my can from my hand and was like this is so bad for you. Terrible. It got me thinking and tonight I told my trainer that I just always feel bad, tired, bad headaches, aches and pains and she was like take the DC and all sweeteners out of your diet. Just stop. Yikes. I am willing to try it though to see if I notice a change. I drink so many a day, I don't know what to drink in place. Water, yes, but it seems so boring. What do you guys drink? Are you soda addict? If not, any ideas on making me a bigger water drinker?

Ok, Where did this week go?

Seriously, despite the gross, rainy and cold weather this week flew right by. I went to Rock of Ages on Weds, which was a good mid-week break and overall riot. I loved it, but I love all things 80. I really wanted to get dressed up for it, but the weather was awful and I couldn't manage to lug anything but myself and my umbrella to work that day. I am going back to see Wicked tonight, which everyone is like WHAT?, but I if I love a show I will see it twice (currently, trying to get more tix for ROA).
Last Sunday, I had my Launch Party for Stella & Dot. Unfortunately, I had a few no shows, but it was still nice to everyone who was able to make it. I was in usual Sunday fashion -- a tad tired from my antics of Saturday night.... The BC/Notre Dame game which started promptly at 4:30pm and ended at 2am with dancing at a bar that there is no dancing at, really. Anyway, fun!
So back to my show and my self promotion... I am loving the Stella & Dot experience so far. I am really looking to book some trunk shows, so if you are a local gal and want to have a little girls night out at your apt/house/work, I am game. Each week now, I am going to share one fav pieces/topics and give you some tips on how/why you may like it too.

As all you ladies know, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Currently, Stella & Dot is offering 20% of all net proceeds from the Pink Boutique will be donated to Breast Cancer Research Foundation. I find these little charms so adorable. They would look cute on a ribbon or dainty chain (and are pretty inexpensive $14), but have a great message/reminder too. If interested in these or other "pink items" or any other cute jewels, you can access me through the Pink Boutique link above.

Other than that, hopefully everyone has a fabulous fall weekend!
