After two rough weeks at work, my fabulous and generous Mom surprised me with this dress!  Now I have an excuse to schedule a girl's night out so this frock can make a debut!  With summer holidays, weddings, birthdays, and showers, the ultimate challenge is finding a date and time when we can all get together!  "Free" time is about as valuable as 24 Karat Gold these days!

  14. The cocktail dress is stunning, both in its texture/material and the look. In fact, it is perfect for you. What more can I say -Just perfect, anybody would love to wear a dress like that. And you look so glamorous in it. The minimal use of accessories is also a great idea. Love your shoes too. They are simply stylish.
    { on another note, I also agree with you that "free" time is as valuable as 24 karat gold these days!}
    have a nice day !

  38. Hello Bessie,

    I have a question, I hope you can help me with. Have you tried the red soles protectors for your Louboutin's? If yes, how do you like them? If not, how do you care for your shoes?

    1. Hello Annie: I send all of my Louboutins to Nordstrom, they have a wonderful cobbler they work with. He applies the red vibram rubber soles to the portion of the sole. He does a fantastic job!

  55. I think BCBG makes fabulous dresses. I have been having this nude sequined dress in my wishlist for a while and now that dress is on sale and still I cant make myself commit.. where would I go with the dress? Eversince I move abroad, my party days were over, so no cocktail party, no nothing. A bit too much to go do grocery in, is it? ;D Anyway, you look like a million bucks!
