Misc: Thankful for...

This was our first thanksgiving together and proud to say we made it! We did everything from scratch - from the Turkey to the rib roast to the side dishes and even all the deserts - apple pie, pumpkin pie, pumpkin cheesecake, pecan pie...

GG and I doing last minute prep before dinner...

Although my week was a bit crappy due to sinus infection, I have a lot to be thankful for this year...

• My family - daddy, mommy, my sisters, nephew and niece, brother-in-law - for their unconditional love and support
• My GG - who never ceases to amaze me and make me feel how truly blessed I am... not enough words to say how happy and thankful I am to Him for you...
• My little angels: Noah, Charlotte, Mikayla, Brucie and my other baby Matt...
• The VJs for welcoming me into their happy and loving family...
• My gorgeous ;-) friends
  
• My work and the wonderful people I work with for hanging tough and working harder these past months due to the economy's downturn...
• My little Boemee
• Blogging - which has opened new doors and introduced wonderful and fabulous bloggers to me - Thank you so much my lovelies!!!!

So, I may be a day late but I wish you all just the same - from our dinner table to yours - a HAPPY THANKSGIVING everyone!!!

What I was wearing:
dress: BCBG Max Azria
gold sandals: Michael Kors
denim jacket: Express
accessories: Forever 21 bracelet and diamond stud earrings

Shopping: Cocktail Dress

With the holidays fast approaching, my calendar is slowly filling up. Party invites here and there and deciding which party to go to. There is one party in particular that I wanted to a get a new dress for, the rest I found dresses in my closet that I have not worn yet from Max Studio and a couple I have worn once in different events and crowd.

So, I started browsing online for cocktail dresses and I'm having a hard time deciding which dress to go with. These are my picks, of course from my fave source BCBG Max Azria:

#1 Runway Strapless Draped Dress (here)

#2 One Shoulder Embellished Dress (here)

#3 Sequin Embellished Silk Dress (here)

#4 Tiered Satin Cocktail Dress (here)

Help me decide which one to go with. Which one is your fave?

Shoe Shopping Guide and an Award

First of all I apologize for not having had the chance to say hi to your blogs. I promise to do so very soon as I am just a little busy with my other life outside the bloggosphere. I waited a long time for it so I am just enjoying every minute of it.

Now, on to the main topic for this post - SHOE SHOPPING. I can safely assume that most women love shoes. It's the one (almost) constant aspect of our bodies that we never really worry about. Regardless if we gain or lose weight.

So yes, my name is Tey and I love shoes!

A friend sent me this link and right there and then I knew I had to share it.

from here

It just proves how complicated our decision making skills are compared to men and the things we think of to justify our shoe purchases lol.

Are you the same way when it comes to shoe shopping? Do you always have a reason to buy shoes? What was the most ridiculous reason you came up with to justify purchasing those pair of shoes that you don't really need?

Mine? I got a pair of strappy Loubies in case Ashton Kutcher asks me out on a date. Yes, my GG and I already had an agreement that I can go on an hour date with Ashton - the only exception to our exclusivity lol. If that ever happens, I die. Ok, ok, back to the topic - shoes. So yes, please tell me what excuses you came up with to justify those pair of Loubies or Choos or Manolos or whatever it was that you bought. I'm dying to hear them all!

*********

Awhile back, I got an award from the fabulous ladies of Bon Bon Rose Girls - Kristin and Megan. Thank you so much ladies!

Now I am passing this on to all of you lovelies who have always been there with me - shoes or no shoes!
