Hello, hello!
So I can now safely say that I am cozily nested in my hotel room in the land of Pittsburgh. How nice it is to finally be here and not cooped up in a car full of luggage and empty coffee cups...and spiders. Yes a spider...which nearly drove my hubby off the road because apparently he is a little frightened by them. This I will admit made me laugh, because bugs of any kind don't scare me in the least bit...such a Ron Weasley I have on my hands:)
As for Pittsburgh...oh Pittsburgh...anytime I think of thee all I hear in my head is Boss Vic Koss saying, "Vicksburgs in the Pittburgh, Vicksburgs in the Pittburgh". Remember "That Thing You Do"? Please tell me I am not the only one that far off in la la land to be thinking of that:) ... But goodness do I love that movie!
So now I must quickly run as my schedule is chock full while I am out here. And if it seems totally silly that I am wearing a knit hat and tights...it was 47 degrees, so I am still quite bundled:) Catch you when I return darlings!
Love bunches,
Look forward to seeing what you get up to - definitely on the same wavelength re: That Thing You Do - love, love, love that so much :-)
ReplyDeleteYour hubby and I share the Ron Weasley spider-fear in common - they really DO have too many legs!

Lovely hat! You always look so good in red.
ReplyDeleteI have family in Pittsburgh, it's an interesting place. But I like it :)
Marisa, glad to hear you got there safely! You're looking super cute in that dress. Love the pattern :)

Aww Marisa! You look so good in your hats! :) You wear them perfectly so your hair looks lush and full at the front! :) Love it! Haha, I'm not scared of spiders either and find it funny when big tough men are! haha! I also love that movie and haven't really seen it since it was out at the movies! Will need to add it to my list to re-watch! Have a lovely time! :) Safe trip home sweetheart! :) Zoë xxx
ReplyDeleteOmg! That dress is adorable on you! Love this look!
ReplyDeleteI bet it isn't 47 degrees today in Pittsburgh. I got so warm, oh funny PA weather.
ReplyDeleteThis dress is adorable by the way, and I love that you referred to your husband as Ron Weasley. I adore Harry Potter! <3

Funny indeed...it's back up at 74 (here in Pitt at least). How weird is that...47 to 74? Talk about a flip-flop! When it comes to weather, PA is so manic:)
DeleteHave a lovely time in Pittsburg lovely girl!
ReplyDeleteI'm catching up a bit on your blog and I have to say you never looked prettier my friend!

What a beautiful dress! Glad you made it to your hotel and are out of the car! I think your hubby may be a little disgruntled when he sees you have called him a Ron Weasley! Haha thats adorable! Wishing you luck in all you have to do there!

Thanks Hannah! Luckily he's a very good sport...and quite used to me teasing him like this:) (Though secretly I think he was quite flattered by the comparison to Ron Weasley...hehe)
Deletei want this dress!!! i LOVE the print! love it. and red is SO stunning on you. wow! that red beret is just great on you - i am a sucker for red berets though.
ReplyDeleteAND I LOVE THAT THING YOU DO! that was my favorite movie as a kid and i saved liv tyler's line in that movie 'shame on me for kissing you with my eyes closed so tightly' for a good breakup.
and have fun in piitsburgh!
Beautiful dress as always. I hope you have a lovely time in Pittsburgh. I am not scared of spiders but I just don;t like them so I would probably have reacted exactly the same way ha ha xx
ReplyDeleteAgreed. Red looks stunning on you. I'm not a fan of berets (because I haven't found one that looks nice on me!! =( )But I do love that dress!
ReplyDeleteI hope you packed for mad winter in Pitts.
The weather here is also still chilly so I feel ya on the cozying up! Love your hat & the colours :)
ReplyDeleteHahaha that spider story made me laugh - I've been stuck with some spiders in a tricky spot that no one wants to reach to - and I am too frightened myself. And then the other day I woke up with two spider bites on the inside of my leg. I FELT SO INCREDIBLY VIOLATED HAHAHA. A Spider'd been in my pants! EW. Needless to say those spiders are getting killed A freakin' SAP.

What a great dress and I love that you wore green shoes with all the red & blue- perfect. I have a couple pairs of Poetic License and I love them! I'm not afraid of bugs either unless they are really huge or cockroaches. Yuk. My husband is afraid of bees and it cracks me up :) Have a great trip!
ReplyDeletebeautiful print, you really suit the colours!
ReplyDeletelove,

Hahaha, I don't remember that particular part of the movie :p; although I really enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteWow, you seem to travel A LOT; that must be so cool! When I lived in Buenos Aires, my job involved traveling to the countryside and spending a night at a hotel every week; I sooo loved that experience! Some people hate hotels, but I happen to love them; the same with planes. I mean, they must not be the most comfortable thing in the world, but flying fills me with happiness :). Anyway, I was wondering how you manage to travel with your little boy! How do you keep him entertained during trips? And does he have a problem sleeping in beds that are not his? I don't know why I'm asking, haha, I don't have kids yet or experience with kids. Well, I guess I got a little curious :p.
Have an amazgin weekend! ;D
Miki.
Hi Miki!!
DeleteHope your weekend is going swell so far:) My little guy is quite a good traveler. When he was 1 month old, we hopped in the car and took a family vacation down to Florida. It was the middle of March, I was on maternity leave, and my family was down there...so to escape the cold weather, we made the 1.5 day car trip. i swear this is what broke him in to being an awesome car rider. (Of course we were stopping quite frequently so I could nurse) but nonetheless..start them young!...haha:) Of course, now we keep plenty of healthy snacks and apple juice handy...and we have a DVD player (for use every so often) but most of the trip he just naps. As for the hotel...we always took the pack-n-play for him to sleep in which worked like a charm when he was younger. Now he just sleeps in the bed...and as long as he has a couple of his little choo choo trains with him...he's fine.
Being two we definitely have our challenges with him as he has a super strong will (like me...hehe), but I can't complain, he really is an awesome little dude.
What a gorgeous and bright dress!
