Dress Alterations and Shoe Shopping

Sooo... this isn't the best story in the entire world... but I feel like it's cute and funny and needs to be told.

The other day I went to get my Bridesmaid Dress altered... and there was one big thing I forgot when I realized I needed to get the dress hemmed for length also... THE SHOES! The dress is going to be floor length... you can't decide if it's going to be floor length or not if you don't have the shoes! Which I hadn't bought yet... so I needed to get those... so we went later at night to get them at Nordstrom.

Now... usually when I buy something I have a very specific thing in mind and I try to go with whatever is the closest to that... and usually it doesn't work out that well or there's something I don't like about it. This time it seemed pretty easy... I wanted Black Heels- preferably ones that I could walk in and I kind of wanted close toed since she's getting married in February and if it's anything like now... it'll be really cold! It's so so cold out right now.

Anyway I was expecting to be picky or not find anything... but right away I found 2 pairs of shoes that I liked... one was open toed and the other was close toed... they were out of the open toed shoes in my size... they did have the close toed shoes... which I loved and they had a really easy to walk in heel...

The only problem was with the 8 and a Half one of the shoes fit perfect but the other one was slipping off of my foot because it was too big! They were the same size, they just fit my feet totally differently. I ended up getting the 8's instead... I have less of a problem with them... but still kind of a problem. I guess it's just that my feet are different sizes... but I wonder if there's something in the shoes making it different. Idk... either way- I'm excited to have a pair of heels I can actually walk in! I will definitely wear these again!

So the very next day we went back to the tailor to get the dress hemmed... and he should have it on Thursday! So excited! I'm kind of worried because of the blizzard... but I think it should be ready pretty soon!

I hope you guys like this type of "Story Day" post... maybe I'll have a more fun one next week... maybe not... but I'll see you guys tomorrow! Or on my beauty blog or youtube channel. Lol.

Byeee!

Scribbles About TV: Jane The Virgin Finale Review (SPOILERS)

So.... Can we talk about all the twists because there were a lot! I didn't even see all of them coming! Alrighty we start out in typical Jane The Virgin Mode with Jane's choice between Raphael and Michael... I'd be okay with either but I think I'm team Michael. Jane has a weird moment with Raphael and thinks she's better off without him and just having him be the father of her child. She's also starting to have some feelings for Michael again. Then she almost has the baby on the bus and some woman helps her and gets the bus driver to take her to the hospital. Rogellio and Xo are in Vegas and they get drunk and can't remember what happens, but they make it just in time to see Jane deliver a baby boy. I knew it would be a boy! Lets pause on that a little and go to Michael and his ex partner/friend with benefits who comes back says she has a lead on Sin Rostro, gives him an address where the plastic surgeon is and by the time Michael gets there, he's de

Disney Store Closing Haul

So if you read my post from yesterday- you know that I love The Disney Store, but it is unfortunately closing. I did pick up some things from the store that I thought I'd share with you guys! I did get a couple of t shirts. One is a Star Wars shirt, which is technically a men's shirt but I thought it looked really cool and I don't like that Disney doesn't carry the same things for men and for women. For the most part they look unisex to me and a lot of their men's stuff has characters I like better. Like the star wars shirt for women was grey with pink lettering and had no pictures, but the mens shirt had a really cool metallic silver logo on black clothing with pictures of all the new characters and Luke inside of the letters... much cooler! So I got that! The other shirt I got is really funny and it has Sleeping Beauty on it and it says "I Woke Up Like This." Which I really liked! Super cute and funny and my niece likes it when I wear shirts with c

Scribbles About Life: 3.10.16

Soooo... I don't really want to post about my day... but I don't really want to post anything else either. I started writing something about female characters in movies and TV... but I just didn't like what I was writing and... idk... I was a blog writing machine this week and now I feel defeated. I wrote a ton on Monday and Tuesday and now I just don't feel like doing a post today... but I want to write still... So I'll talk about things that I guess are on my mind lately... Idk. So I got this Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor... and for some reason... I'm addicted to the way that it smells. Idk why, it smells like cherry medicine... but I also sort of like it. Its more cherry than medicine... and I can't smell it on my lips... but Idk. I keep smelling it in the tube. I got some cute stuff from American Eagle yesterday too! I got a dress and a romper... I do not own any Rompers... except this one... but it looked good on me and it didn't make me look f
