Ladies & Gentlemen…

IT finally happened!

What is IT, exactly…?

Well, at work IT usually means Information Technology, but that’s beside the point.  No, the IT I’m referring to is far more exciting.  And that IT is the fulfillment of my 2-year quest to score a DVF dress while thrifting!

When I used to envisioned the big day in my head, the plunder was typically the iconic wrap-style in a vintage 70s print.  However, I have to say that I’m as pleased as punch with this maxi number.  I tried to capture as much detail as possible, but pictures do not do this dress justice.  It’s made of 100% silk and has quite a bit of weight to it which makes the fabric drape and flow in such a lovely fashion as I walk. And the best part…

IT only cost me thirty bucks!

I don’t often wear a single color from head-to-toe, but this time I just couldn’t resist. I think this dress may be one of my best thrift store finds to date!

Closet Confection: Wine & Food Festival

foodfest8

When: Friday, October 8th, 2010

Where: Cooking Channel’s Meatpacking Uncorked

What: Jacket (Andrew Marc), circle scarf (H&M), tunic (H&M), leggings (Romeo & Juliet Couture via Hautelook), boots (thrifted via Beacon’s Closet)

I know, I know… I am soooo late posting any pics from my birthday weekend.  The truth is, I was kinda bummed about my birthday this year, and I’m just now getting over it. 

Anyhoo, looking back it turns out that I actually had a lot of fun.  I was just being a pouty baby about getting older.  Pity-fest is officially over.

Since one of my favorite things to do is eat, Eric took me to a food festival down in the Meatpacking District.  We ate so much, it’s not even funny.  We gorged on everything from arancini (yummy Italian rice balls) and gourmet blue cheese tater tots to oooey gooey brownies and salty caramel icecream.

By the end of the night, we were both too stuffed to even move.  Although  we did muster up enough energy to steal a kiss at the Coca-Cola photo booth…

A perfect ending to a perfect evening!
