There's A Lot of Buffy Going On Around Here...

I took this with my iPhone!
It's raining, it's pouring! We have tornado warnings in Jersey and the roads are flooded and cables are coming down all over the place! I took a picture of myself when I was coming in off my lunch break. Just take a look at my arms. Totally drenched. My pretty braid I had going on was destroyed, I had to stuff my back with paper towels to dry myself. Just horrible weather. These are the days I like to snuggle up under a blanket with hot chocolate and read a book. I finished the first Sookie Stackhouse novel! Can't wait to get another! They had a deal on ebay for the whole set but this is a crazy weeks for apartment bills so I really don't have the extra cash to get the set. It is $40 for 8 books including the one I have already but $8 a book at the store. So I'd be saving money if I bought the set but I really am going nuts not having that to read every night. It was the perfect way to end my night.

I think I found a good dress for the wedding I have coming up. I was going crazy trying to find one. I already knew I wanted it to be blue and my boyfriend is the best man in the wedding so I know I am going to be in lots of pictures. I plan on my hair being a lot blonder so I wanted a pretty blue dress to go with it that wouldn't break the bank. I was thinking I would rent on on Rent the Runway but by the time tax and shipping come in I could end up buying a dress I like for the price and being able to keep it. Sure, it wouldn't be an Alice and Olivia dress but no one around here besides me really is crazy interested in fashion. I am a lone wolf I tell ya. Anyway I was looking on ebay and found a LC by Lauren Conrad dress for under $20. I snatched it right up and hopefully it won't be too big on me when I get it. Sometimes the sizes never fit me right and a size 2 that might fit perfectly in another dress, wears on me like a size 6. They didn't have the 0 I wanted so I took a chance and praying it fits. As you can see in the picture, it is blue just like I wanted and has the most gorgeous pattern of flowers. Now mind you, the best man and groomsmen are wearing linen suits not actual suits and that is why I think this dress will be dressy enough. It is supposed to be a very casual beach wedding so I think this will be great, especially with my Buffy blonde hair I'll have by then! I think it is a gorgeous dress and I love how it looks on Lauren Conrad. I love blue dresses or blue shirts with blonde hair. I think it just looks really good together. And even if it comes in and I put it on and it doesn't seem dressy enough, I still found a very cute dress and got it for under $20-brand new I might add. I'm happy with my new purchase. I also got 3 Zoya nail polishes for the price of one! They sent me a coupon and if you bought any one product you got two nail polishes for free. I was like, "Woah! Can't pass that up!" So I didn't! I got the colors Barbie, a gorgeous pink that I'll wear with my new dress, Petra, a darker gray for the fall, and Buffy, a shimmery champagne color. I'll admit I couldn't pass up getting Buffy, strictly because it was called Buffy. I know, it's sad. It's probably even sadder that I do that all the time, as in I tried the Buffy bar at Lush because it was called Buffy, not because it had a cult following. It all worked out though, I love the Buffy bar, hopefully I'll love my new Buffy nail polish, and I still love Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and my hair will be Buffy blonde soon!

I hope everyone has a great rest of the day, the sun is trying to peak out as I'm writing this. If it does rain again tonight I am making hot chocolate and since I don't have a book maybe I'll watch Buffy! You should watch Buffy! Until next time!

Have a Buffy filled night,
Christine
