Got the dress!

So I went to west edmonton mall on Friday to start the search for my awards dress. Things started off slowly, I found a couple new tank tops some earrings, a pair of shorts, a t-shirt but no dress. Then I got to H&M. Sometimes I find tons of stuff here and other times I don't find anything. This time I found one thing and it was my dress. Well kinda, unless I find another one this week before we leave that I love better.

So it was near the back of the store by the changing rooms, only one size left which fit pretty perfectly and even though it wasn't the type of dress I was looking for I think Stacey and Clinton would be proud. It's pretty fitted which they say is good for a women with some curves because a shapeless or baggy dress just adds pounds to your silhouette and it has a really fun and colorful print with a high waisted belt and strapless top that stays up really good because of some boning in the structure.

Bascially it was fateful to find this dress in my size and I found some really cute white earrings to go with it, and I have some never before worn black wedges that I'm considering pairing with it. Because of the strapless neckline I will probably wear my hair down with just the earrings for accessories because they are pretty big maybe a braclet too i'll see what I can find.

I also found another dress at winners that is really cute and I found a fun purple coat trimmed with white for a great sale price!

Hopefully with these new additions I can complete the LA wardrobe it's hard because there is so much stuff we are going to be doing and they are all such different activites that I seriously want to change at the hotel for every event but for time's sake and my boyfriend's sanity I probably won't.

But we did decide to rent a car because it will be cheaper than taking taxi's everywhere and paying tips etc. We'll just have to pay for parking ugh which I'm sure will add up but this means no sketchy subways rides so I'm willing to do that. And as a plus with a car I can bring clothes, makeup, shoes, etc. with me so if we go rollerblading on the santa monica pier and then want to go out on the town after I can change instead of having to go blading in a dress or something crazy.

We did get our itineray and we are staying at a gorgeous hotel down the road from Rodeo Drive and right by UCLA called the W hotel even the pool has white cabanas but it costs $200 a day to rent them! So I will just be taking pictures of the people who can afford that.
