hey lush, have fun - it's the weekend!

ahh, this entire week has been so crazy busy. but i've loved every minute of it, and i think the drinking every single day since monday factor has helped (oh and you know it only continues on stronger for the rest of this weekend!). in short, that opening just means that this will be a picture heavy post (my fave, it seems)!

so anyways, it was funny that you all commented on my last post wishing i had stuck with the UO dress...because i ended up doing just that! haha. so now im glad you actually approved of it. it was just way too hot to wear my thick, black dress, and i mean common who doesnt love summertime floral?? i paired it with a chunky necklace and that's about it. again, must keep minimal in a 90-degree scorcher! here's a select "few" shots to sum up the Red Carpet Gala event:

cupcakes from "Sweet" bakery (red velvet was sinfully good, mmm)

Maker's Mark bar-staff guys, handing out full cups on the rocks! as mike would say, "good men" :D

only about half of the other sample companies at the event. amazing.
i did NOT wear those flipflops inside the actual event, haha. i am just a wusssssay at the end of the night and my black pumps were killing me :'[

now throw ya hands in tha aye-err, and wave em lyke ya jus dont caye-err

oh hai handsome :)

back home, engulfing myself our comfiest bed/blankets EVER (central cooling you are heaven!)

oh cheap Zara shoes, you are simple & lovely but pain my narrow ass feet too much. you get what you pay for huh?

the entire event was soooo much fun, and me and mike got way more than tipsy off of the huge variety of free drinks than we probably expected.

the next morning was another scorcher, so what better to do than a trip to the beach?! we went to Hampton, and it was srsly good times:


and thenn, last night was free beers at the Bleacher Bar - sponsored by the local magazine i used to work for as well as the Blue Man Group - practically inside Fenway Park. not that i am a huge baseball fan whatsoever, but free beers with mike + his friends provided ample laughs and stupidity that trumps all the drunken slurs of crazy sports fanatics. the following is the only pic i took that night (thankfully!), at the beginning of the night/our first rounds on my iphone:


as for tonight, one of my closets friends is home for the weekend since she moved to Vegas, and we are sooo gonna tear up the sh*tty east coast bars lavishly LV style :)

hope you all have fabulous weekends in store as well, loves!!
