A Night at the Ritz...

On Saturday night, my school (and Syd's school) had their annual 'Big Event' fundraiser at the Ritz Carlton. So I was pretty excited about getting all dressed up and having a grown-up night to ourselves. I scored big on this Anthro dress, there was only one left in the sale section and it happened to be my size. I was so excited when I saw that it was only $39.95 and I was telling the lady at the checkout how it was 'meant to be' and then it rang up for only $19.95! She was like, 'now it really was meant to be!' (I also picked up the Highest Accolades Dress!) I was so happy because I hadn't been to Anthro in like two months.

(My Mom made up do the cheesy 'prom' pose below!)

Dress: Anthropolgie Drifting by Dress
Sequin Cardigan, Purse & Headband: Target
Heels: DSW



I also surprised the hubs by getting up a room at the Ritz for the night. This was my first night away from Sydney ever! He was so shocked that I actually kept it a secret, I packed a bag ahead of time and snuck it into the car right before we left for the event.

This is us being silly:

I told Ed the hallway was like The Shining, so he acted scared for me.
The chocolate loveliness that was in our room.

  2. You are a total knock out in that dress, and wow, what an awesome price to snag it at, too! How romantic that you stole a night away for you and hubby - that was really thoughtful of you to plan!
