Two Outfits -She & Him

Sundays are for sleeping in, but this morning the birds outside in our backyard woke me up at the crack of dawn. *Sigh* I love you nature, but please keep it down. We had a busy night last night.

She & Him were amazing! Really, they are a great live show. The music is just a lot of fun - a lot of cute - and just a good time all around. If you've only ever heard them recorded- get yourself to one of their live gigs!

Mario and I had a proper date night last night as well. Unlike our usual date nights which involve take-out, a dvd, and me in my jammie pants. Ah, the comfortable married life... Don't get me wrong I love hanging out a home too, but sometimes it's nice to go all out!

And we did! We went to dinner at Burma Superstar, then pre-show we got a drink at the Fox theater bar ( the Den). Fancy pants!



No, I did not take this picture, it's from the Fox theater site. I was weary of bringing my camera along, since most venues do checks and won't let you take pictures anyway. Or so I thought- I saw plenty of people whipping out cameras/phones and filming the show. I got a few camera phone shots, but being a goody two shoes and not wanting to get in trouble, I put it away when the music began, so I am sorry, no illegal show footage to show you.



Yes, we were sitting far away- these were the best seats left, and we bought tickets a month in advance!

Here is what I wore yesterday to run errands, hang out, enjoy the warm weather etc....


(Little Dear Creatures Sailor Stripe Dress, vintage oxfords)


Here is what I wore to dinner and the show!



(AA dress, Levis jacket, Rachel Comey belt, Charlotte Ronson shoes)

When we got there I felt like the most dressed up one in the room.

Anyway, I've got to get out more on Saturday nights!


This morning I realized that I received a 'Questions Tag' - from Chic on the Cheap.
So here I am answering q's over a cup of coffee - and then off to start the day. Hope you all have fun stuff planned for the rest of your weekend!

1.What shoe size are you?
Teeny 5 to 5.5. I heard that your foot grows as you age, and I really hope that's true. I would love to be at least a size 6.

2.Where do you work?
In an office - I do have my own office - It has one window that overlooks an alley, and I get lots of pigeon noise during the day.

3.Favorite piece of clothing you own
Oh gosh, hmm I think it would be the dress my Dad bought me for senior prom, a from-the-runway Jill Stuart dress. It's a lovely shade of lavender, and I still wear it to fancy things like weddings.

4.Your favorite blog?
I cannot pick just one- seriously

5.Do you have any pets?
Yes, and I want more!

6.How many siblings do you have?
One awesome sister!

7.If you could live anywhere where would it be?
Paris, Stockholm, Tokyo - I can't pick one. Though at this point my Japanese is probably better than my Swedish language skills.

8.What were you doing before this?
Sleeping.

9.Your favorite food?
Strawberries

10.Do you have a middle name?
Emely

11.Your favorite websites?
Too many to list here, but I love Notcot.org for it's cool design pages.

12.Who do you tag?

  4. Ohh that restaurant/lounge/bar looks so awesome, and it's always great to have a break from the couch (as wonderful as it can be) from time to time.

    Those camera rules at concerts are silly. The last time I went to one, I actually snuck mine into my makeup bag, and at the bag check they asked me to open the makeup bag, which I of course did, then they looked right at the camera, and didn't say a word.

    Your three places you want to live are three places I haven't been to, and soooo need to get to!
