Day 76: Catch Up and First Snafu

Setback:
Yes, it's been QUITE some time since my last post. I have A LOT to catch you up on. First of all, let's reveal the "snafu" and get it out of the way. Remember that black-tie wedding I was attending? And how I was supposed to watch what I was eating in order to fit into my dress? Well, I didn't watch what I was eating, and in a panic, I went to Nordstrom and bought Spanx. Two pairs because I didn't know what size I'd be. BUT I ended up wearing a different dress and am returning the unworn Spanx, so they really don't count.

P.S. I bought the "Higher Power" Spanx, and they are stupid because they have a huge seam down the front of them, which you could see outlined through my dress! Terrible!

Travel:
Part of the reason I've been remiss in my posting is because I've been on the road (or in the air, if we want to get technical). The BF and I were in Rio Grande, Puerto Rico from 11/3-11/7. It was hot, humid and awesome. On that Thursday, we visited Old San Juan: toured a fort, had lunch, visited some outlets. Ralph Lauren, Burberry and Coach. Very tempting, and I did buy something, but it's a Christmas present, so it doesn't count.


This past weekend, I flew up to Boston to visit my college friends. They took me to Mint Julep, a boutique in Harvard Square that they rave about. It lived up to the hype. I saw some big, Dynasty-esque gold earrings that I loved. And there was one Shoshanna party dress that we each picked up in turn because it was so fabu. But guess what? I'm still going strong!
