Here is a super cute dress from Forever 21
$13.50
I do think it would look a lot better paired with this belt:

Weekend Wrap-Up!!!!
This weekend flew by!!! Woah!!!!
My workday on Friday ended and I headed home for a movie night with the husband!!! WooHoo!!! I had been sooooo excited about finally getting to go home and just relax in my PJs, watching movies after a busy week! We watched Despicable Me (cute!), Burlesque (awesome!!!) and ended up saving the last movie for Saturday morning. We went to Joy of Tokyo and grabbed dinner, which was yummy as well!!
Saturday morning we got up, watched Jackass 3 (funny, yet gross!) and chilled until I went to a dance studio to watch some choreography. I really think I could sit in a studio for hours watching dance......it really makes me want to get back into dancing. After that, my sister and I headed to the mall (yeah, I know, again) and made it rain at GAP!!! Let me break down the deals we got:
My sister got $220 worth of clothing for $32!!! I mean, that is huge! I got $145 worth of clothes for $29!! Needless to say we were very proud and felt like shopping superstars after this. We then headed to shops of Greenridge to check out the Yankee Candle store. I am over the top obsessed with Yankee Candle and I am pretty sure we smelt every scent they had!! I ended up with the Cupcake scent for my kitchen and the Lemon and Lavender for the living room (I also had a buy one get one free coupon). I could buy all the candles in that place. LOVE them!!! We then went home and cooked hot dogs and watched TV.
Sunday was moving day. We got up and headed to Clemson (the best place in the world) and finished moving the remainder of my sister's belongings. I just have such a special place in my heart for Clemson and miss it dearly every time I am there. Why, oh why, did I have to get old and move away? ;)
After moving, we got home around 6, ate dinner then the couponing began!!! Tonight I am going to have a post dedicated to the deals I got this week!!
I have to admit that I missed my Sunday TV shows......BUT, I did watch the Bachelor Finale on Monday night. Here is my recap:
I fully believe that he was "in love" with Em from the beginning and just strung little ol Chantal along like a puppy following its owner. If that woman had walked up to me and slapped me in the first 5 minutes of meeting me, I would have been OVER her from that moment on. I say "in love" because, let's think about this.....I would almost fall "in love" with anyone who takes me on helicopter rides as dates, etc. THAT IS NOT REAL WORLD PEOPLE!!!! This is in part why I do not watch the bachelor. I know, I love reality TV, but that is not reality.
B-Rad: This man has an anger problem and you cannot convince me otherwise! If Em said "I love you" one more time to him during the After The Rose show, I was going to vomit. If he pulled at the neck of his shirt one more time, I was going to scream. He has issues.........
Em: This girl is NEVER going to love anyone like she did her fiance. Bottom line.
Until next post, stay safe out there bloggers........I have a rant post coming up this week, so stay tuned!!!!!!!

Weekend Wrap-Up!!! BCBG and More.......
Good Mornt-ing Bloggers!!! I hope that each of you had a fabulous weekend!
I hate to break it to you, but this weekend was really boring. I think that I can contribute this boring-ness to me having no pageant related activities this weekend. : ( Pageants always give me something to talk about!! That's part of the reason why I love them so!
Friday: I worked until 4pm and had made plans to go with my husband (yeah, I know I have never mentioned his name. he is just not too much into the whole sharing everything on the computer, so I leave his name out of it. He does exist though, I promise) to eat using a gift card I had received auditing. We celebrate birthdays at our office and had a "Lunch Field trip" to Longhorns that afternoon and I was stuffed!! So, when I got home, I told husband that I could not possibly eat right then and asked if we could go walk around a bit before we ate. Of course he said ok and asked where I wanted to go. What a silly question....the mall, of course. In my defense, I was going to window shop. I truly had no intentions on making any purchases. But, I just had to walk into Dillards.............
First I had to take a trip by the handbags. I must confess. I have a problem. I LOVE handbags, shoes and coats. I have told my husband repeatedly, "I never want diamonds or fancy jewelry. I only ask for amazing handbags, shoes and coats." I know that diamonds "last forever" and are a "girl's best friend" but my besties come with leather, amazing buttons and cute fabrics.
For those of you who appreciate all that clothing and fashion have to offer know what BCBG is and you probably know that Dillards carries it. We made our way to the top floor and there was a rack of 70% off. JACKPOT!
Anyways, I ended up with some great deals!! The great thing is I have offset what I spent by selling old clothes I no longer wore on Ebay! So, I came out even.....love it!!
Next we headed to Victoria's Secret. I had a free panty coupon and I never turn down a free pair of undies!! Now, this girl needs a tan, but I did not want to lay in the tanning bed this year. I have gone back and forth about sunless tanners, but found this one at VS:
So far, I love it!!! It is very easy to put on and it only costs $14. Maybe I can post a pic of my tan as it gets darker.
We then headed to eat, well husband ate, as I was still stuffed from lunch. I did have a nice strawberry margarita though ;)
Saturday: Again, uneventful!! I got up that morning, did my cousin's make-up and headed back to the mall with my sister and another friend of ours. I had to share my success with the Dillards trip on Friday, so of course they had to check it out! After the mall trip I went home to hang out with husband. It is shocking, but I turned down the opportunity to go to a pageant that night. I didn't get to see my Boos.......*tear*
Sunday: I got up, read the paper, had some coffee and then headed to do my Sunday ritual of shopping with my coupons. This week was not a good coupon week though. Sunday night ended with my TV shows, which included The Amazing Race, Celebrity Apprentice and that new show about opening a restaurant.
Of course Celebrity Apprentice trumped (no pun intended) the other two shows. NeNe Leakes is one of my most favorite reality TV stars and she did not let me down Sunday. I am just waiting for her to pounce on Star Jones!!!
I am sorry this post has taken a while, but my internet has been out at my house all week. I will be updating later in the week though!
Until then bloggers!

"From the cradle to the coffin underwear comes first." ~Bertolt Brecht
Now, I do not know who Bertolt Brecht is, however I fully support this quote......and if you keep reading this post you are going to find out why ;)
Let's. Talk. About. It.
Any dancer knows that the number one thing you do not do with your costume is wear panties, however, you do wear bloomers, hot pants, etc. underneath your costume. Any pageant girl knows the same applies for some outfits they wear. I mean, I really thought the general public knew to wear something under a costume, not JUST tights. So....basically here's the story:
I attended an event were a young lady wore nothing but nude dance tights under her dance costume.
DO NOT dance at a pageant, at home, in your bedroom, at a talent show, etc. with NO bloomers under the costume!!! Ladies, Ladies...nude dance tights are not sufficient! I (as well as the rest of the audience) can see your hiney through them!! Bless It!!!!!!!!!!!
Reading this post may have been a total waste of your time, but I now feel it is my duty to start an awareness across the nation!!! "Underwear and Bloomer Awareness: Don't Dare to Bare"
So, let's talk about TV:
- Real Housewives of Miami: I am not on this train yet. It takes me a while to warm up to some of the housewives shows. DC, Jersey and NY took me a few episodes. We shall see how I feel in later episodes.....only time will tell.
- Bethenny Ever After: LOVE, LOVE, LOVE her!! I can't get enough of her! She and her husband are so cute together....awwwwwww! Now, you better believe that if I ever walked into a hot dog shop and saw her sitting and eating that I would flip. Really, I would cause a scene and rightfully so. :)
That is really it on the TV front thus far.....I can tell you that at 8pm Sunday night, I will have myself parked in front of my TV to watch Ms. NeNe Leakes on Celebrity Apprentice!!!!
Now that my rant is over.....I will see you guys later!!!

Weekend Wrap-Up!! Yes........I know I am behind!!
Soooooo......this weekend was fun! And, as always, packed full with things I had going on!!
Let us start with Friday, wait, back up....let us start with Thursday............
Thursday night was exciting!!! My younger (and much smarter) sister received her letter of acceptance to the South Carolina School of Pharmacy at MUSC in Charleston!!! Yay!!! So, of course we have to celebrate ;)
Now Friday, of course I had the usual day of work. I left work and went home to meet my husband, my sister and her boyfriend. We headed downtown Greenville to begin our Pharmacy School celebrations! We had dinner at Carolina Ale House, which was great......I had the Tuna Sandwich (in case you were wondering). I ran into a few friends of mine that work at Carolina Ale House and in all, we had a fun time! After eating, we went to Mast General Store, where of course we purchased old school candy, tried on ridiculous hats and bought bandannas for our dogs (they have to be styling too!!!). When our adventures there ended, we headed home to watch Charlie St. Cloud, since my sister had never watched it. I was sooooooooo excited to watch it, as this is one of my most favs, however, I fell asleep about 5 minutes into it. I'm getting old.
Saturday began with me cleaning my house.....I clean a lot on the weekends. Frankly with three dogs, I should clean more often, but that's another story. After cleaning, I did my cousin's make-up for a pageant she emceed that night. I wish I had taken a picture of her make-up, because I really liked the way I did her eye shadow! Toot Toot!! (that was me tooting my own horn. haha!) I will be sharing a little picture of her eye shadow this weekend so get ready for that next week! After doing her make-up I headed to audit a pageant with one of my Boos. I am not going to say which pageant, although some of you know which one it was, because I am going to be blogging about this certain pageant tonight. Yeah, you will enjoy that post. ;) Auditing was fun and we both admitted that we felt powerful being the auditor. We knew what everyone else in that room was wanting to know.....WHO THE WINNERS WERE!!!!! I do, however, wonder if it is a good idea to make the two of us feel powerful though........haha. Upon the completion of the pageant and us no longer feeling powerful because the winners had been announced, we headed to dinner at Copper River. I AGAIN ate a tuna sandwich (weird) and took home some divine white chocolate banana pudding my fellow auditor so delightfully shared with me!! Let me tell you...you need to run, not walk, to the nearest Copper River and order some. I fully believe that it will change your life.
Sunday was blah for me....I did the usual Sunday coupon clipping, headed to my stores and made my purchases then came home and had dinner. Not very exciting. Oh well....what ya gonna do?!?!
People, fasten the seat belts for my next post, which will more than likely be done tonight (I need plenty of time to write this one). See you soon blogg-ahs!!!
