LBD #3 and an example of why I am not a model

LBD #3. This is why I am neither a model, nor a photographer. HH is still at church, so I am forced to take my own pics today. I want to hurry and change out of this dress because it is like a million degrees in NYC today. I was feeling crabby earlier, but nothing a photo shoot couldn't cure. I hope you enjoy.

This dress is from H&M, and the shoes are Naughty Monkey, one of my VERY favorite brands. Wearing 5" heels in NYC is kind of a hazard. So, of course I wore flats most of the way to church and changed into theses bad-boys when we were only half a block away. They are cute, but not worth breaking an ankle over.

Oh where is Vivianne? Well, she couldn't make it today, she totally busted it on the sidewalk. Yeah, but did you see her shoes as she was laying there all mangled? Um, hell yeah I did, they were friggn awesome.

LBD #2

LBD Day #2. This dress is simple and easy for Saturday. The perfect example of what an LBD should be: basic enough that you can wear it casual, or dress it up with accessories for a night out. The silhouette is typically short and the styling and details are minimal, so that it won't go out of style quickly. Although it may not be necessary to have so many LBD, because they are so versatile, it is damn fun. Right?

Coco Chanel is credited for "inventing" the LBD in the 1920's. Every woman should have a little black dress. One that makes her feel sexy, confident, elegant.... and also skinny. One that transitions from day to evening, from season to season and even from year to year. How many do you have?

How many does Vivianne have?

HH is really getting good at this photography thing... although he did chop off the top of my head in one shot. He said it looked "artsy", I did not agree. Of course it was also his idea for me to hold the Calculus book in the last pic.

And now some LBD shopping... All these are from Revolve, one of my fave online shopping destinations. Enjoy!

LBD for Friday

SOOOO, CC was so sweet to do a guest post for me and I was inspired by the Back in Black to do more theme focused posts. I thought Friday would be a good day for an LBD day! I actually have a small collection of black dresses in my closet. So maybe I will just wear them all weekend and keep the theme going for a few days. Hmmmm....

This is pretty much my fave LBD. And you already know my fave flats.

Of course the dress is from Club Monaco and the shoes are Irregular Choice. My blue watch is kinda hidden, but it is Diesel.

HH was happy to take my pic this morning, which was nice. He got a little creative, as you can see by the middle pic. Whatever, I am not complaining. So much easier than propping up my camera on the dresser, setting the timer button, running across the room and trying to pose all cute. (At least half the time getting more couch in the shot than Vivianne. UH!) And of course doing all this while he is at the gym or in the shower... I mean, seriously, as if I would have a one person photo shoot in front of him. Oh. No no no.

Stay tuned for more pics of me, LBD and hopefully none of my couch.
