Final Performance in Floral.
So this weekend has been pretty epic for SUDS, way better than we could ever have anticipated. We sold out and sold extra, had the most energetic crowds, and of course we performers had a blast. It's gonna be hard to perform this final show knowing its the last one, but let me just you that this is not one we will easily forget. Golly, I have lots I want to post this evening and so ill just go ahead and do so. Since my title is having to do with floral, ill tell you where my inspiration came from. My very sweet dad, I have noticed, has a special spot for gardening. Besides having a garden, he made us a greenhouse, then put in grass and lovely landscaping in the front. It's truly adorable. So this is thanks to my dad! Below will also be some of my favorite snapshots from the end of the show, where we had a lil photo shoot. And as Cindy ends, "I feel like I'm on top of the world!"
MOD.
So this is the last weekend of our groovy performance of SUDS and so my outfits are definitely inspired from my sixties era beehive. I swear, sometimes I think I should have been born in a different era. I'm totally digging this whole going-back-in-time performance. I simply love seeing the older folks laughing at all these jokes from that time. It's priceless to make someone's day like that, you know? Anyhow, I found some of these outfit inspirations in the giant box of magazine cut outs that I have saved over the years ( I am that old fashioned. My sister makes fun of me but I like hard copies. Is that so wrong?), and this is what I came up with. So do the locomotion with me!
What I wore: vintage necklaces (used), a two tone TROUVÉ top (used), a kelly green AMBITION blazer, a striped BANANA REPUBLIC skirt (used), orange MARCO SANTI pumps.
Oh, and the mention of the bullet bra in the photo above? I actually get to wear one during the show, so it had to make a special showing. You know, in honor.

Throwback Thursday- BRAVE.
So there will be a time and a place for me to go on and on about the incredible week I had once upon a time here this year, so for this particular post, I'll just share one little tidbit that still makes me smile to this day. So for some brief history, we had British soccer players at our house for a tournament and for some encouragement, my best friend and I promised that we would jump in the pool if they won their next game. For those of you who wouldn't guess this, pool water in February, even though its Arizona, is VERY cold. I'm talking chilled to the bone here. So it would be a big deal for us, yeah? Well it must've been good enough inspiration for they won their game. To the surprise of the boys, my friend and I kept to our word and jumped in the frigid waters. It took our breath away. Not EVEN joking. And the one response we got, the one that stood out for us besides the whole "You guys kept to your word, I didn't think you'd actually do it," jazz, was the one thing that made my life. One of the boys told us "You've got some major balls. " And out of all the things that guys have said to me in the past, that is by far the best compliment I have ever received from a guy.
Here, my best friend and I shiver after taking a plunge in Alaska worthy cold waters. In the end though, totally worth it.

Stylish at Work.
So the job that I currently work at, which you've probably guessed is as a coffee barista, requires us to wear dark clothing. Very.. Traditional. Totally understandable because making coffees can sometimes be messy. You know, there's milk splatters, smoothie stains, coffee drips, and whipp cream is found in places I least expect it. Well currently, I have been seeing a lot of stylish employees as of late. Now normally, I would love this, but the rule follower side of me creeps in and is a bit confused and bummed. As much as I want to don all my cute clothes and feel even that much prettier when the cute tourists come in ( we did have Ashton Kutcher stop by, so one never knows), I know that I would much rather be a good example and follow the rules, as much ad it kills me to see high lows and dresses being worn. But still, that doesn't stop me from wearing at least some cute articles of clothing!
What I wore: my sisters teal headband, a GAP oatmeal tank, and a neon striped J Crew cardigan (used).

All Natural.
Cinnamon Toast Special.
So working at a coffee shop definitely has its benefits, especially to someone like me who simply lives for a cup of Joe. One if those benefits is trying all the different coffee concoctions in the book and then some. One of my specialties is what is called a Cinnamon Toast Latte that one of my coworkers came up with. I'll share it with you because hey, let's spread the love.
First off, start off with some all natural vanilla syrup and cinnamon powder mixed. It's also good if one mixes the cinnamon in the shot as well.
Next, we want to steam some cinnamon in with the milk.
When the milk has been steamed to around 145 degrees, set aside and get the shots done.
When the shots are done (17 to 29, I prefer), pour them into the syrup and cinnamon and mix.
When that is finished, slowly pour the milk in the center of the espresso so nothing is rushed. Take your time on this one.

What a MARVELous day.
In honor of my siblings adoration of superheroes, my sister and I wore our FANtastic superhero tees. Yes, it may have been inspired by the all together amazing Man of Steel movie, but I should have you know that Clark Kent is a DC COMIC character and not part of the MARVEL universe. Aside from rocking our vintage superhero apparel, we jammed in our MSMARVL vehicle. Oh yes, we are hard core fans of superheroes. So smash on. Hahaha. Get it?
