My parents are bikers.  And I don't mean cyclists, I mean Harley riding bad-ass bikers.  Well, not that bad-ass I guess, but my Dad sure does look bad-ass all suited up.  Before heading out to a surprise birthday party for a family friend, I asked my Dad to snap a few pics in their, 'Harley Room' - this is a room that is fully insulated in their garage that my Dad built - it's pretty sweet.  Complete with mini garage door and regular door to enter through, it serves a great purpose as a home to both their bikes.  It's also decorated very nicely with tons of Harley memorabila and all their riding gear.

We've had a little visitor for the past couple weeks - Peanut, our family dog!  She lives with my parents, but was around when I was still at home.  She's going to be 11 years old this November and is such a treat.  She's little, furry,  and fun to play with.  While she is quite stubborn (apparently a trait of shih-tzu's), she's a real cutie and it's nice to come home to her.  Of course while capturing this outfit, she wanted in on the action and I made the most of it.

{ Christian Louboutin 'Gazolina', $2295 }

I'm  a huge fan of over-the-knee boots and couldn't contain myself last year and ended up with seven pairs!  A little excesive?  Not necessarily (when you don't spend a forture).  The trend seems to be sticking too, and looks like this fall we will be seeing a lot more of this style.

Now of course can anything really compare to Loboutin's Gazolina boots?  Or Louboutins in general?  Probably not, however, if you're not on a Louboutin budget, you can surely appreciate this Furge version below.  At $33.20, you can afford to be on trend without coming close to breaking the bank!  (Bonus: they possess a pink sole - cute!)

fiancé's watch & Tiffany bracelet (you've seen this combo before)

So the fiancé and I are lying in bed a couple weeks ago watching our newest fave show when the streaming stops.  Argh.  So while he tries to get it fixed, I naturally whip out my phone to check Twitter.  Just then, I spot a message from my (blogger) friend Kate.  I freaked out.  I jumped up and ran to the computer, immediately logged on and checked the Pretty Pleased blog.  Sure enough, I had won their give-away!  Talk about lucky.  I ran back to the bedroom and started jumping on the bed hooting and hollering (yes, hooting and hollering) until I could finally explain to my fiancé what had just happened.

And now, the beautiful wedges have arrived and I rocked them for the first time.  This wasn't exactly the outfit I'd planned on wearing them with, but hey, it's only mid-July, lots more time.  I'm so excited and thankful!


{ I especially love how they look from above }



* Thank you so much Catherine & Mary Chris!!! I love them!
