Vacation Starts!

Hi Ladies!

Thank you new followers i have reached the 200! Youpi! and Hurray!

I have been away from the Web - Relaxing- Enjoying the nice weather!
Vacation time for me and Mr. D
3 well deserve weeks for us!
Going soon to Vegas!
If anybody got Instagram you will be able to follow me in Vegas!
I am stylesudest on Instagram !

Can't wait to be there!

It has been madly warm here- 35 in the shade
Not complaining, will never complain -
I feel sorry for my UK friends
It seems we got all the heat this year!
How is it anyway? Is it getting better?

Photobucket

This 80's dress  i got for $2 is part of an ensemble
But wore together i think would be to busy
I styled it funky - you have to be careful with 80s items if you do not want to end up looking like  a dowager!

Photobucket

Crazy 80s pattern and look at the button!
Mr. D purchased the top at a charity shop for $1- i cut the sleeves!
It was in my closet for a while- I did not wear it - i am giving it another try with the short sleeves-

Photobucket

Did you noticed the hair is different
I got my inspiration from gorgeous Desiree
I got myself Velcro rollers - I curled my hair yesterday- slept on it  and it is still curly today - I guess i must have a natural wave or curl -
A very retro look - i think it will be a keeper for a while -
What do you think?

I lost quite bit of weight about 8 pounds and some ask me why i was loosing the weight?

Before i met Mr D. i was 10 pounds lighter but you know what it is new relationships, it seems that weight gain is part of the fun!

I decided to loose some weight because i am more comfortable at a certain weight and plus wanting to eat better and more so now - since  i have another medical problem  - but not to worry- it is a nasty virus that will eventually go away- It will need constant medical monitoring -


Photobucket

Call me strange, but i am happy to have this medical problem - It makes me more aware that in this life you have to take better care of yourself and determine what is important to you - It is all part of the Human Experience the good and the bad stuff - This is what makes you stronger -

 I hope you enjoyed this post

I will be at Patti's Visible Monday and Monday Mingle

I will be back soon

I think this look is bright and refreshing! I love the pink chucks and blue hat. Hope you feel better soon. Illness always makes you appreciate your health more.

Forest City Fashionista said...

Loving the new hair! That is a very cool print on the skirt and your pink converse make the outfit playful and definitely not dowdy. Have a great time in Vegas - at least you will be used to the heat already.

Thrifted Shift said...

The hair was the first thing I noticed- I like it! Cute pink shoes, too! I think eating healthier is always a good goal, no matter what weight you're at!

Yay for 200! And, you're already up to 201 as I'm typing this. ;)
Thank you for your Melatonin suggestion on my blog. One of the things that make style blogging so much fun are the "reading between the lines" opportunities. You know, the getting to know each other bonding that we do over time. The photos are the icing on the cake!
Your hair is looking retro cool! The style goes particularily well with the color.
Have a wonderful week!

Terri said...

The skirt of the dress is fabulous and I love the raspberry colored top with it and the pink shoes. I hope that the nasty virus clears up soon.

pastcaring said...

The first think I noticed was your beautiful hair - you really suit a retro wave or two, a la Desiree!
Great colours on your skirt, love the 50s-inspired styling. And that hat is fabulous.
You're looking great, but being healthy is definitely the most important thing, hope you are OK. Much love! xxx

Everything about this outfit is wonderful but especially the skirt. The pink sneakers add some casual whimsy.

jouyeux vacances!

The Jones said...

Love your retro hair! And this skirt is super fun, not at all dowager. I think that you looked amazing and look amazing now...but understand wanting to be healthier. I need to lose the 9 lbs I've gained since I got married last year--I am starting to look like a little pudge!

Style Mentor™ said...

Yes to the hair, I like it! Indeed, everything that happens is good in the end. The fact that you see that puts you so far ahead of the game you can't help but win. Have a beautiful week. :-)

Vix said...

Love that skirt on you, it's such a vibrant and fabulous print!
It's still raining here but it really doesn't matter, we have waterproofs adn wellies and still have a blast whatever the weather, try not to worry about us too much! xxxxxx

Katrina Blanchalle said...

Very cute outfit, perfect for a vacation in the desert! It will be very very hot in Vegas but most people spend their time indoors there - plenty to do.
Hope your vacation is lovely and relaxing and you start feeling much better soon.

Laura Go said...

the print on that fabric is BEAUTIFUL! I love it with the hat too! :)

I am so jelly that you're getting to go on holiday in Vegas! Have a fun time, Ariane!

The skirt is so lovely, very "you" in the colours department, but I can see Sacramento wearing it too, but with a crazy patterned top! You are right: the hard stuff helps us grow. Hope you are on the path to good health. Enjoy your vacation! xo

Your hair...it's so, so pretty styled that way!
Enjoy your holiday in Vegas, xo

Dressing Up For Me said...

What a pretty skirt! I love that it matches with your hat. ;)

By the way, best wishes to your girl on her beautiful wedding! She looked so lovely and I covet her shoes. :)

Sorry for the late greetings, better late than never.;)

Lynne DeVenny said...

Having loved and lived through the 80s, I probably wouldn't think that dress was too busy, but I do love it with the top over it. Your hair looks awesome, and you are rockin' the sneaks. Found you at Visible Monday and am adding you to my RSS feed reader.

CC said...

Very cute! Love the entire outfit and your hair looks lovely like that. :)

kaffesoester said...

Your hair was the first thing I noticed on these photos - it suits you so well! I love how you styled the skirt with sneakers and a hat!

It seems to me that I accumulate weight easier with every passing year, so annoying!

The Style Crone said...

You always hit the mark with color! I love your hair, and how fun to be inspired by the gorgeous Desiree. Sorry that you're experiencing a medical problem, but you wise words are very true.

Fashion Tales said...

I really adore these colours in your skirt. Excellent hat! Have a wonderful break.

Misfits Vintage said...

Hope you are having a lovely holiday! That skirt is gorgeous - love the colour combo. Sarah xxx

Melanie said...

I love your comment how you have to be careful not to look like a dowager with '80s clothes. You are so right! Your hair looks fabulous like this, please keep it for a while. It really accents that retro vibe. Good idea with the scissor to the sleeves too. I can't believe Mr. D bought this for you. What a guy!

Overall you look so young here, especially with the pink sneakers. Congratulations on 200. You've only just begun...! The world must meet your style.

Have fun in Vegas, baby! Win a million - or at least pretend you did.

Mrs. D said...

Cool outfit as always. I love the way the hat and the shoes give it a more casual vibe!
I have been thoroughly enjoying your Vegas photos, as you may have noticed by the number of 'hearts' I've been putting on them :)
Hope you are having a great time!
