Shoes: Christian Louboutin

I need a vacation

from my vacation.

Seriously though...

It's great to be home, but wow what an agenda.

I'm getting to see tons of people, attend family functions, visit local haunts...

But that also means we're off our routine and my kids aren't napping, which makes my three year old naughty and me an ugly mommy.  It's a vicious cycle.

I'm also displeased to announce that I've gained FIVE POUNDS in a little more than a week.  GROSS!  What can I say?  Me and carbs don't get along - well we do - perhaps its my pants that don't get along with the carbs... In any event, I usually avoid refined sugar and only eat whole grains, so this whole eating tour of NJ thing I've got going on isn't exactly doing wonders for my waistline.  Yet the shortage of good Italian food in Rochester (there is none) is causing me to throw caution to the wind and possibly buy bigger pants.  You only live once right?

Once I get home,  I'll have exactly two weeks to drop the weight so I can fit in my (already too tight) dress for the White Party.  Super.

In the meantime, I'm going to enjoy the good eats with family and friends, which is good considering I have lunch and dinner dates EVERY DAY this week...as Fuccillo would say:  [I'm going to be] "HUGE, Rochester, HUGE!"

Hope you're week is off to a great start and that all your pants fit!

Rochester's White Party

Photo

"Experience an evening of old world charm at the Century Club of Rochester, one of East Avenue’s few remaining mansions. This stately residence will provide you with elegance, beauty and sophistication while you stroll up the winding staircase, mingle in the grand solarium, and walk the historic gardens. Laugh and socialize for a great cause under our grand white tent and enjoy the stars among the city lights."

I'm not going to lie, I'm totally psyched for Rochester's first ever White Party on September 8th to benefit AIDS Care.  The event is being held at the Century Club of Rochester on East Avenue and runs from 6:30 PM to midnight. There will be live entertainment by local musicians, drag queens, tarot card readings, dancing, tons of delicious food and spirits, and its all for a good cause!

Tickets are expected to sell out, and there is a tiered ticket price system:

June 5 - July 15: $100 per person/$180 per couple

July 16 - August 15: $125 per person/$240 per couple

After August 15: $150 per person/$275 per couple

Don't have your ticket yet?  Get yours here.  

The next (obvious) step is figuring out what to wear...

I am hoping that this lovely number is waiting for me in Rochester (and that the size 8 fits... I ordered a 6 at first but let's just say it was the old 10lbs of sausage in the 5lb bag trick... not pretty).  Did I mention Nordstrom is now sold out?  If the 8 doesn't fit I am SOL!  Say a prayer.

I'm thinking hair down, simple makeup, red lip.  Now I need to find the perfect chandelier earrings and metallic shoes...

So my only questions for you are:  1. Are you going?   2.  What are you wearing?
