Weekend Rewind: September 19-20th, 2009

I'm a day late on my WEEKEND REWIND.  Sorry, Sorry.....it's just this birthday party of mine is sucking up all my time--turning 30, having a party, a guestlist of 90+, phew!  It's like planning a big to-do of a wedding, only on a tad smaller scale.  

Anyway, let's rewind and see what I was up to this past weekend--

Saturday Afternoon-September 19, 2009

I had 3 large bags of clothing to attempt to sell (A.K.A. donate) to Beacon's Closet.  They never want anything of mine for obvious reasons.  So I called a car (no way could I transport all 3 bags on public transportation) and headed out.  

I'd been looking forward to wearing my new vintage skirt I bought during "Fashion Night Out" at Market Publique's pop-up boutique.  Being that it's a bit of a butter color, which to me looks Spring, I pondered how to make it look a bit more season appropriate--or shall I say I wanted desperately for it to be a

FALL OUTFIT!

And what's a girl to do in a predicament like that?  Tights of course!

Wearing:

*Gray sweatshirt-Forever 21

*Light yellow vintage skirt-Market Publique (sorry, can't remember the actual seller)

*Burgundy tights-H&M

*Brown suede boots-Carlos Santana

*White printed crinkle scarf-H&M

Afterwards, I went home to take a rest. And then before I knew it, Saturday night rolled around. I didn't feel like getting up and getting ready all over again. In fact I had no desire to primp at all. In my lackluster mood, at least I was able to cling to the anticipation of the cool chill we were expected to receive weather-wise. We were due to meet up with friends at the Frying Pan on the West Side, near Chelsea Piers.  Being on water, with the forecast calling for a low of 53, I was stoked to bust out my favorite Fall jacket-

THE LEATHER BOMBER

(or faux leather in this case).

My Quick Fix Routine

(when you don't feel like starting all over with your daily beauty ritual)

-Lots of black (eyeliner, shadow, mascara, clothing)

-Dry Shampoo (Psssstttt in my case), and some hair teasing

-A light pink lip gloss (to counteract the dark eye)

-A few spritzes of perfume (to mask what a shower might fix)

-And of course, that go-to article of clothing that makes you feel awesome

(the bomber jacket)

I actually beat the BF getting ready for the evening.  UNHEARD OF!

Saturday Night-September 19, 2009

Wearing:

*Black bomber jacket-H&M

*Gray sweatshirt (same as in the afternoon)-Forever 21

*Skinny jeans-Uniqlo

*Black leather booties-Daffy's

*Black print scarf-Express

*Cream vintage eyelet belt-Thrift Store

The Frying Pan was full of little nooks and crannies at every turn-just ripe for the exploring! And of course we were like grown-up children on our own little adult playground:

(Wait, didn't I just mention I was planning my 30th birthday?  Maturity at it's finest folks!)

What is it about boats and old sunken ships that makes me want to be a pirate?  

If indeed we could be pirates--this would be my crew.  First matey-the BF (on left)

Aaaarrrr!  Shiver me Timbers!

(eye patch, hook, parrot, and all--a girl's got to accessorize her pirate get-up accurately)

Back to reality....

Sunday was rather lackluster-just me, my clean clothes that needed hangers, a dusty vanity, and some cleaning supplies.  I told you it was lackluster.

BF did come home from the sporting goods store with this little gem of a baseball cap.  I've been on a Yankees kick and this made my day!

Sunday afternoon-September 20, 2009

Wearing:

*Black baseball cap-Modell's

*Black crochet applique sweatshirt-Zara

*Skinny jeans-Uniqlo

PS-Of course I like the Yankees, I live in NY and the METS are not my thing. 

And....did I mention, one of the greatest Yankees of all time is from Indiana. (Just some more Hoosier trivia). 

True story: He went to my high school (Reitz Memorial H.S. in Evansville)-any guesses??? 

Back to planning the party.....there's an oldies playlist waiting to be compiled to perfection. Ummmmm, someone tell me why I keep adding to my 6-1/2hr. playlist when the party is only 4 hours long?
