Look of the Day: Buy Me Some Peanuts and Cracker Jack,

Yesterday was a big day, Britney was on Glee and the Giants beat the Diamondbacks. And why thank you Padres for losing, that was a nice cherry on top. Just a warning: I'm going to be going baseball crazy this week, I apologize in advance.
Once again the temperature was scorching so I keep my three day dress streak going and rocked this little Anthropologie number who went unworn all summer. I think it was from last summer, I just remember purchasing it on sale because I liked the sheer top with polka dot details, and of course pockets in dresses are always a good thing.

I even felt a bit like I was channeling Audrey, so I threw on my big sunglasses and a bun.

Anthropolgie dress (Kim could maybe ID), Report sandals, Tom Ford sunglasses and Etsy Classic design necklace.

Being up two games feels so good.

Look of the Day: Do You Remember the 21st Night of September?

I always that would make a really cool wedding date. The only eventful things that occurred on last night's 21st night of September included watching a really boring Giants game (at least it resulted in a win) and the Glee premier.

Wow! Did anyone else think Lea Michelle looked completely different? Besides her new hair, she lost a ton of {unnecessary} weight! I guess that's what Hollywood does to you. I hope the cast can keep it together, its such a fun show.

I mean we don't want another Mischa Barton running around leaving the O.C. after three seasons. That not only cursed the show but, her career. What exactly has she been up to lately?

Well at least we have next week's Britney episode to look forward. I'm sure it's a lot of hype, but I love Britney! And I she rocked her HIMYM cameo. I'm hoping for a similar performance.

Denim, Lace and sparkles.
Perfect for my 21st outfit of September.

The not ring is from a jewelery party, the necklace is from Stella & Dot and the black ring is from Forever 21.

JCrew vest, urban blouse, H&m Cargo Leggings, and Gap wedges.

Love was changing the minds of pretenders, while chasing the clouds away...

Weekend Recap: Saying Goodbye, Saying Goodbye to Hollywood

Happy Monday!! I hope you are having a great day and had a fabulous weekend. I know I sure did. Despite waking up with what I thought was a cold on Friday I ended up powering through the weekend and made a last minute road trip down to LA and I'm SO glad I did! I hadn't been my last amazing trip in January, and wow it had been too long. I had a blast visiting my sister's new place in LA, showing my Mom and friend Mandy around my favorite places in Hollywood and just enjoying the heck out of life. I even got to reenact my Briney Spears encounter at it's original location. Gosh I love LA and last minute adventures.

My Happy Place.

Wendy, it was Bumping.

So. Hard. To. Leave.

I like to take a minute to a few people:
My Mom for everything, including planning a trip to LA and sparking the urge for me to go.
My sister for living in LA and providing me with a place to stay, and for being my Designated Driver.
My Husband for allowing me to letting me go whereever the wind blows me when he is busy with softball.
Mandy for pressuring me to go even when I was afraid I was sick. And for letting me show her around for her first trip to LA!!!
My Dad and Rena because they just rock and inspire me to dream big.
Dustin for putting up with us crazies and for getting us into the club I wanted to check out.
Wendy for finding the coolest places in LA!! Can't wait to meet you there again!
And for anyone who took the time to read or comment on this post!

Look of the Day: Home Sweet Home

As fun as going out of town is, coming home always feels amazing! I spent the day catching up on things and getting back into regular life mode, in other words I stayed home ALL day except for a quick trip down to Yogurtland because Casey made me. I also was really happy to be home and making food at home. I always get so messed up when I travel, I don't eat in the morning because I hate breakfast food and that seems to be the only thing besides coffee I can find. I also have a hard time being on a weird schedule, I mean I ate CHEETOS! I never eat Cheetos, Casey was upset I choose to eat Cheetos when he was not around to have any LOL! Anyways so I was SO happy to be home and to eat food I had purchased, prepared and planned for. And at times I like to eat =). Well my Britney encounter is still fresh in my mind so naturally when Casey dragged me out of the house I wore a fedora and cowboy boots, if I start walking out of public restrooms barefoot somebody stop me!
And YAY for real food! Remember when my oven broke and I had to wait around for the repair man?? It FINALLY got fixed today! Can you believe I went a MONTH without it working!??? Well I put it use today when I made roasted brussel sprouts and lentils. The brussel sprouts are dressed in a Dijon vinaigrette that I just threw together.Served with Ketchup, Tabasco sauce and Greek yogurt, naturally.
Casey was craving something sweet so he dragged me to Yogurtland with him. I am not big on sweets so I get mostly fruit and I put mine in the freezer and eat it over a few days lol. Casey thinks I am crazy, but it just not my thing. In this instance I would have preferred some good old cheetos!
I am already planning my next get-away, I am thinking Tahoe. I am in the mood for some snow! But SoCal again soon for sure!

Wake up in the Morning Feeling like P.Diddy

Grab my glasses, I'm out the door I'm gonna hit this city

We had an Legen...Wait For It...Dary trip!! I had SUCH a good time! Anyways here is a recap of pictures.
Tick-Tock on the Clock.
Many "Artistic" pics were taken...
TONS of hotel lobby hanging out (AKA Celeb stalking) occurred. We saw Paul McCartney, The Jersey Shore Crew(which everyone else cared about but us) and lots of other C listers!
More Stalking from my hotel room.
Outfits were worn, and bad pictures were taken. For some reason (the lighting? my focus) my outfit pictures were not turning out.
ANSI and I.And the Mirror as a TV.
Lots of this was consumed.
And WAY too much of this. Thanks to Wendy and Andi, I was CLEARLY the party animal of the group!!! It was a personal Amber party every night for sure.Which may or may not have lead to the consumption of this, à la Britney.

Image source unknown but we can assume it was from TMZ
And we will miss you CoCo. I had to take a pic of this moment in time!!
And my in flight entertainment. Bet you didn't know I am an origami dollar bill artist did you? ;)And to answer any questions...Britney was Brunette, and STUNNING in person, a seriously gorgeous girl but totally sloppy and dressed horribly. Her kids, though, were dressed to the nines and her mom was totally put together. Like Britney they were all SOOO good looking, wow! Our "moment" lasted a couple of minutes and was way too "intimate" to take pictures. Now one else was around but hotel workers so I did my best to "play it cool" but honestly it was like a dream sequence, and my heart was POUNDING!! I am a dork, what can I say? She came off as shy, but then again the only words I muster up were "It's more fun then a play ground" referring to the chairs her kids were playing on. Ahhhh! I still cannot believe i saw her and SOO close!!!! I LOVE HER!!! OK I am off to catch up on my google reader and blog reading, it is over flowing!
Two Trailer Park Girls Go Round the outside. Round the outside...

Gro0ve Slam, Work it Back. Filter That, Baby Bump that Track

SO STAR STRUCK CHERRY CHERRY BOOM BOOM

So my L.A. trip has kicked off to a GREAT start already. After some (THREE hour) drama of me forgetting my Credit Card (yup mascara is NOT the only thing I forgot) my wasted time was made well worth it when ummmmm I HAD MY ULTIMATE CELEB SIGHTING!!! BRITNEY FREAKING SPEARS (with her mom and kids)!! Can you believe that!? And I wouldn't even call it a sighting I would say ENCOUNTER!! Please excuse my caps and excess exclamation points BUT I am still FREAKING out!! lol. Can I just tell you how hard it is to keep calm when you are within a few feet of the not only the biggest pop star, but umm your idol!??? Needless to say between that sighting and my fantastic Alice and Wonderland-esque hotel that Wendy found, my trip is off to a great start!?

Where our Britney encounter occurred. Wendy and I were on the purple couch, Jayden and Sean were each playing on one of the two white chairs and Britney and her mom were standing in between the two chairs while the kids played.
And me freaking out!


My hotel room view!

Sunset.

That's one happy girl right there! By the way that is a mirror/tv!I'M SO STAR STUCK, Baby could you blow my heart up????
