Metal Plates and Pom Poms

Hey there lovelies! I feel like I haven't posted an outfit in a while. The short of it is that its been raining the past week which translates to no pictures taken. But I am back again with an outfit i wore today.

Flipping Out

During my last trip, I forgot the little headphones that came with my iphone and was stuck using the headphones provided by the airline for all 28 hours (roundtrip) duration of our flight and the loud noise from the aircraft beaming through doesn't make it all that pleasant listening to music or watching a movie. When our flight finally got to Amsterdan for our 4 hour layover, I started roaming around the airport to find headphone to purchase, only problem was they were ridiculously overprized so I gave up. While I was sitting waiting for my flight, I just couldn't stop noticing all the travelers running around the airport with their cool headphones.

My sister and I vowed to buy our own cool headphones for our next flight. I have a few sitting in my Amazon cart but just haven't gotten around to picking one and checking out so when I got a chance to review these new cool headphones from flips audio, I was excited.

 Flips audio headphones allow you to listen to music solo or in a group by simply flipping the earcups which then turns the headphones into a loud speaker. When I first recieved it, we immediately plugged it into my sister's iphone to try it out. Listening to it solo blocks out any background noise but the real magic happens when you flip it out. We were pleasantly surprised at how loud it got. My mom and sisters immediately busted out dancing all at ones, it was hilarious. The sound clarity is simply amazing. My sister is getting her own set of flips. I guess you can say we are flipping out for flips Now I can't wait to fly again with my new headphones, but in the meantime, I am enjoying using the speaker feature around the house while sewing and will probably be bringing them with me to the beach this summer.

You too can own a set of flips audio headphones. Head over to flips audio and get $10 off your purchase with code FA0010INT plus rush shipping upgrade with no extra cost.

Date Night

The guy celebrated his birthday the other weekend so we had the typical date night, dinner and movie. It really doesn't take much to please him. The lighting here is not too good as it was getting dark out at the point.

Check Please

Well hello!! Its me with yet another outfit post. I am really excited about this dress but first lets talk about the shoes shall we? I lost a pair of these shoes for months, don't ask. I searched every inch of my room and just when I was about to give up and purchase another pair, I found it hiding under a bag where its been for months. Glad I found it (whew).

Does anyone know where I can find a nude pair? I ordered the plato in nude  last year for my birthday but they arrived and were a bit snug. So I sent them back for a larger size only to be told the size is no longer available. I was placed on a wait list but somehow missed the call. I called back after only 24 hours and was told they were gone again. Sigh... I am now on another waitlist for August. Hopefully I get lucky this time otherwise I am giving up completely. Work with me Louboutin.

Now onto the dress. You probably already know the inspiration for the dress, Louis Vuitton of course. But since I can never afford the original I decided to make myself one. Found the fabric at a local fabric store a while back and finally got around to making it over memorial day weekend. At first I couldn't decide whether to add sleeves or not. Glad I went with the sleeves. I love how it turned out. Who knows maybe I will snip the sleeves off when I get tired of them.

Hands Up For Hope

A few weeks ago I volunteered at a fundraising gala. Getting ready was a bit tricky because while this was a formal event for a beautiful gown, I quickly remembered that I was going as a volunteer and not a guest. So instead I decided to wear this  dress which was still appropriate enough for the night but also comfortable enough that I can run around which is what I did from 4pm to  midnight. It sure was a long night but I am glad I was able to volunteer my time.
Oh and I stacked two necklaces here.
