Eighteen Days & Counting...

...until I leave for sunny Florida! West Palm Beach to be exact. I am more than thrilled about this upcoming vacation. We originally planned for a 4 day weekend in Hilton Head to celebrate my friend Heather's birthday, but another friend of mine had connections and we ended up booking a timeshare for an ENTIRE WEEK for under $200!

Rough economy - travel & lodging for under $200 + 7 friends to split everything else with = Michelle still going on vacation!

At a development meeting Heather and I attended last week, it was brought to our attention that we need a theme for our vacation. Thought I'd share with you guys what's in the mix:

• Pimpin' in the Palms '09
• How I Met Your Father
• Hoes Before Bros: WPB Style
• We WILL Shake Our Tail Feathers
  
• Tequila & Triangle Tops Hellz Yeah
• 8 Girls Sure Can Pimp Out a Mini Van
• West Palm Biotches: We're a "Shore" Thing

Hilarious, right? Feel free to throw out your ideas, I know how creative you guys are! The best part? I'm planning on getting tank tops made once we decide. They're going to be so surprised*.

This vacation has been all I can think about lately, as you can probably tell from my tweets, Facebook status messages, new bathing suit and sundress purchases, increased workouts and well, this post. I will be pinching myself until I'm actually on the plane! Have any of you ever been to West Palm Beach? Any nightlife suggestions or other must-sees?


Yes, I bought 2 of the same dress in different colors. How could you not for $10.50? Thank you, Forever 21.


*You know, if I actually design them in time.

Let's Play Dress Up

Hey ya'll I need your help!

I have a date tonight, and though I've breezed thru quite a few lately, I cannot decide for the life of me what to wear! Maybe it's the new hair, or maybe it's because I went shopping over the long weekend and have TONS of new options ;)

Things to keep in mind:

• Casual dinner date, think Max & Erma's/Olive Garden-esque
• It might rain, but will be in the high 80s
• I have red hair now! Will orange/pink clash?
• When we first met, I was wearing a dress so I'm sort of hesitant to wear one again. Silly?

Fashion Forward

A little shopping over the weekend @ Maurices. I have to say it's quite possibly my new favorite store. Mostly bargains, but a little splurge. You're allowed at least one splurge while bargain shopping right? ;)



Coat: $39.99 (that was my splurge)
Skirt: $10.40
Sleeveless Top: $7.50
Shirt: $5.50

And of course, there was shoe shopping as well.



Grey Heels: $10.40
Brown Heels: $7.50

Total: $81.29 (and $39.99 of that was my splurge!)

You're looking at one satisfied shopper. Gotta love the red tag clearance events!
