Outfit of the Day: Double Holiday Weekend!

I named this post Double Holiday Weekend but this weekend was actually bursting with four holidays!

Last Friday, though it wasn't an official holiday, it was Friday the 13th. A day to be noted for sure! Anyone enjoy nature camping by the lake that day? ;) Saturday, in contrast, was Valentine's day <3... followed by Mardi Gras on Tuesday and then Chinese New Years yesterday, on Thursday!

Though we didn't get to celebrate each and every one of these holidays, my husband and I did get to celebrate Valentine's day and went out for a sushi dinner Saturday night. Then on Sunday, though it wasn't officially Mardi Gras, I did wear my Mardi Gras beads and my best Mardi Gras dress out while celebrating a double birthday in Napa for two of my best friends. It was an eventful weekend full of fun and pretty dresses!


Outfit of the Day:

For Valentine's day on Saturday I wore my Trashy Diva Tiffany dress which I was lucky enought to pick up last month during Trashy Diva's sale on sale! I paired this with my TUK Kitty heels! <3

For the double birthday celebration I wore my Trashy Diva Bustle Bettie dress in Mardi Gras print. While it wasn't officially Mardi Gras, I couldn't help but wish myself in the midst of the Mardi Gras festivities going on in New Orleans, so I paired the Bustle Betty with my Mardi Gras beads and a purple cardigan for added Mardi Gras color. And because I knew we were going to get into some walking in Napa that day, I opted to wear my black Mary Jane flats from Urban Outfitters... not sure yet, but I think my usual trusty flats might have gone kaput!

Matching Your Dress To Your Teaware Part 13: A Peacock In White

I don't know why it took me so long to put these two beauties together!

This peacock teapot by Edie Rose is one I've had in my collection for almost a year and have blogged about it before here. I love that it's a teapot shaped like a peacock. The teapot has texture throughout it's body which gives the peacock's feathers and the flowers added definition. It is a very regal looking teapot. I love the subdued and yet somehow vibrant looking colors on this piece.

Trashy Diva's Katherine Dress in Peacock, like the teapot, has an overall white background with the focal point of the dress being the beautifully and richly colored peacock feathers embroidered throughout the waist and hips. Like the teapot, this dress also has a very regal feel to it. It has a classic 1960's silhouette which exudes grace, elegance, and sophistication.

This dress is actually one of my favorites of Trashy Diva's and was the first dress of theirs that I ever bought. I have it in black but the beauty of the white tempts me to buy this version as well. I found this one from Kittenish Behaviour who has this as well as many other sought after pieces by Trashy Diva.

Outfit of the Day: Birthday Dinner For Mom

My mom's birthday was earlier this week!

My husband and I took my mom and step dad out for a birthday dinner and while I was at it I also got to take out my new Trashy Diva Day dress in Green Kimono. I usually don't get to wear my pretty dresses during the week when I'm working so having an excuse to get dressed up after work was a nice change of pace. Plus I love my momma so it was to get to spend some time with her celebrating the special day!


Outfit of the Day:

For this day's activities I wore my Trashy Diva Day dress in Green Kimono. I paired this with basic black flats and a black cardigan to keep me warm.
