Get some clothes on: Beverly Hills Gala

by SkinnyRunner on October 23, 2012

WORKOUT -

Ran outside -

7.0 miles/56 mins

Walked –

3.6 miles/60 mins

Quick nooner walk with my favorite red-headed chupacabra.

Photography skills for the win.  It’s amazing I captured any of Monica with all the sky I was going for.

TO BEVERLY HILLS… LIKE THE HILLBILLIES WE ARE

Just a quick post because we’re off to a last minute work gala at The Beverly Hills Hotel. Woohooo fancy pants.  I think something like this calls for… Target clothing.  and bubbly, always bubbly.

{dress, Spanx from Nordstrom, Christian Louboutin heels, still decided on the clutch}

By the way, Spanx are the cat’s meow: they give you coverage with a  shorter dress and smooth you out.  winning.

We’re off!

Love the dress. I say the black clutch, but you’re probably already gone. Isn’t the Beverly Hills Hotel where Whitney Houston died?

Have fun! My favorite thing is pretending that I am swanky for an hour. After that my head starts hurting from focusing too hard on not talking with my mouth full and which fork to use.

I can only pretend for about 30 minutes before my feet start to hurt.

The black clutch, definitely.

def. vote for the burberry clutch, it ties the dress nicely with the shoes, which are fabulous!

What size dress did you buy? We’re the same size-ish and I want to get it!

…But I don’t know if I’d be a small or a medium. I’m thinking medium since it’s from the junior’s section?

The HEELS!! Oh Lawd the heels! I long for the day I can place a pair of Louboutins in my closet. And probably never wear them for fear of any pebbles gone awry.

Get Spanx tights….best ever.

I thought I was the only one that liked to have a glass of bubbly while I do my make up….do you listen to Pandora too?

I love getting ready with a cocktail! I’ve actually never tried SPANX or anything like it but think I need to jump on that bandwagon. Ive never heard a bad thing about them.

Cute cute love your outfit! All of my friends love Spanx! The founder of Spanx was in my sorority so it’s kind of cool to say!

Have fun in the Hills!
