Gold is a girls best friend.

Tomorrow night we head to the Artic Club Hotel in downtown Seattle to see Erik's cousin Chase marry his girl Jude. Its rare that we both have a Saturday night off, its even rarer that we get to go someplace as fancy as The Artic Club. I'll take any excuse to pull together the myriad of accessories that I manage to collect in mass and get dolled up. I was inspired by the golden chandeliers and domed ceilings in the ballroom to go gold. Here goes nothing!

A girls gotta have wishes.

One day before I am old and grey, I solemnly swear that I will purchase well made wardrobe staples and refrain from buying mass quantities of fairly ridiculous ill made garments off of sale racks. I will reserve my cheapy impulse purchases for $15 clutches and the faux pearl earrings I am fond of. I am a creature of habit and this one will be hard to break. If you see me grabbing for a hanger with a cotton-poly blend tunic take me outside and give me a talking to.
