Weekend update

Ok since I am currently unemployed (I did have an interview last week at least) I will admit that there isn't a big difference between my weekends and weekdays. So really this post should just be entitled "Saturday night" ;)

I met

Angela (for the first time)

and Danielle (we had met before)


Happy Hour at Pink Taco cannot be missed. Happy hour prices (drinks AND food) + outside patio + great view = you should go at least once during the summer

Danielle and Angela will be doing their own updates so I won't write too much. I will say I had a great time. The girls even saw my room (which is currently under construction). Sneak peek**:

(click to make bigger)
** yes, this is a mirror shot. We forgot to ask our waitress to take a photo of the 3 of us. Then we got back to my house no one else was home so we attempted an artsy mirror shot. Danielle's face is just a giant flash so I cropped so you could see part of my room

Other highlights included Danielle trying on my Vineyard Vines whalehead and Angela modeling with my Lilly Pulitzer bottled water. Both girls had apparently never seen color coordinated books (yep, I have my books in rainbow order!). Danielle loved Angela's cell phone monogram so much that she is hosting a monogram decal giveaway over at her blog: here.

This was our best attempt at a photo of the three of us:

And the winner is...

Blackeyed Susan from Susan in the South!


As usual all entries were imported into an Excel spreadsheet (205!). I used random.org to choose a number.

Congrats Susan! Please email me asap :)
Even if you didn't win, please check out The Letter Tree. The monogrammed totes are a steal at $22!

Naples/Pompeii

Pompeii is just outside of Naples (where we spent most of our day)












Archeologists preserved the bodies of the victims with plaster, creating casts of the bodies that looked exactly as the person had when they died, right down to their facial expressions and the details on their clothing.




(there are stray dogs/cats at all of the ruins in Italy and Greece)

Perfect summer shorts

from Vineyard Vines. I have a pair of these and LOVE them! I may even get the other color since they are now on sale ;)



I actually temporarily lost my pair while I was cruising (very traumatic!). I sent them off to be washed and they didn't come back with the rest of my stuff! When I looked for them to wear the next day I couldn't find them. I tried to describe them to our cabin steward but he definitely didn't know anything about seersucker or critter shorts (I think I threw in something about pink seahorses too-sorry Agus!). I called the front desk and tried to give a less confusing description of the shorts. An hour or two later the shorts were back! Crisis averted!

Palermo!

Back to Italy we go!



I have to get all the anchors!


Anchor fence around statue!


Love this pink one!


I spy our ship down the street!
