This Weekend and Monday

As you know, Friday I went down in the outfit posted. Friday night us three (my mom, my sister and I have an annual trip to the shore) walked around the town, people watched on the boardwalk, and then headed to an Italian restauraunt where we dined on steamed mussels, dipped garlic bread in the broth and had a lovely bottle of wine. We then headed to a small bar where a blues/rock band was performing where we danced, chatted with other patrons and had a relaxed time. I wore a coral cotton camisole from Gap, my beloved lowrise bootcut jeans from Gap, my beaded thong sandals from Seychelles, two coral glass chip necklaces and my hair wavy. I cannot believe I actually forgot my hair products so I used my sister's John Frieda Frizz-Ease Dream Curls on damp hair, a Tresseme hairspray and a LOT of a curling iron because the stuff just didn't work right for me.

The next day, we had breakfast at the hotel, then headed to the beach. Aquamarine halter one-piece suit from J. Crew, navy crinkled gauzy v-neck tunic coverup with tonal embroidery from J. Crew, black Reef flops, black sunglasses, a denim skirt from Old Navy brought along so I was decent off the beach. I like to have a bit of a color story, so my bag is berry and turqupoise - L.L. Bean and my towel is shades of blues.




That evening, we walked through all the little shops. No luck this trip, no new accessories. We were going to have dinner at a raw bar, but the waitlist was insane. Good thing, because we found the most amazing restaurant - gorgeous decor, the menu was creative, the wine list extensive, the food tasted fabulous - my taste buds were exhausted by the end. We then walked on the boardwalk, my sister and mom had ice cream and the breeze was jsut right. I wore a black fine jersey rurplice to with flowing sleeves from Ann Taylor Loft, the same jeans as the previous night, black stacked flops from J. Crew, silver hoops and multiple silver bangles from Ann Taylor Loft. Hair was a bit better - I had a chance to let it air dry which helped the curls set. Makeup was subtle - spot foundation, Physician's Formula Magical Mosaics bronzer for powder and color, L'oreal Voluminous mascara, Revlon ColorStay neutral shadow quad - ivory in the inner corners and along brow bone, khaki on the lid and along lower lash line, a bit of Goldie lipgloss in Blossom.

The next day we had breakfast and then headed to the outlets where again I had no success (some goodies for holiday gifts from Harry & David and a shirt for the husband from Gap Outlet). I wore a plum jersey sleeveless surplice-front dress from Gap and black Reef flops, silver hoops and necklace. Comfortable, easy to change out of, perfect outlet shopping attire.

Due to uploading pictures from the trip on my home computer, I forgot my camera at home and do not have pictures of today's outfit - black tencel fitted tee from Banana Republic, white tonal stripe trousers from Tahari, my black thong heels from Mossimo, white bead necklace (vintage), my hair straight and my makeup the same as all weekend.
