Sparkle and shine

As a pageant girl, I love my rhinestones and sparkles. And as a girly girl, I love me some shoes and purses. I have a whole closet dedicated to my purses and totes. B says I have WAY too many; he cringes every time I get a new one. I just like to have options for different outfits. Same goes for my shoes..I'm a proud owner of 125ish of them. 

Like many materialistic women out there, I lust after name brands...specifically ones I can only dream of having. I'll admit, I do have a pair of Burberry heels that I begged my dad to get me for Christmas a few years ago. Despite how fashionable they are, they're probably the most uncomfortable pair of shoes I have!

For the longest time ever, I've wanted a pair of Christian Louboutins. There's something about the red sole of the shoe that gets to me. One pair in particular recently caught my eye...

Sparkles, sparkle and more sparkles. Not just any regular ole crystal rhinestone..but Swarovski AB crystals. Ahhhhh..so in love with them. If only it weren't for that $3500 price tag on these....despite the price, I'm still determined to get a pair one day!

Mary Poppins the Musical

For the past 5 years that the beau and I have been dating, one of our favorite date nights has been going to see musicals. I'm very lucky to have a guy that likes being cultured and attending such events. We try to go see every musical that comes to town. We've seen a multitude over the past handful of years. Up until now, my top three included Wicked, Legally Blonde and Avenue Q. Last week we had a "date night" and saw Mary Poppins...and now another has made it into the top spots in my mind.

Whenever we see a musical, I try not to look up anything about it because I like the surprise factor. I wasn't sure what we'd see from this musical, considering it only has two songs that most people know. I was pleasantly surprised by how captivated I was by the production only a few minutes into it.

The stage, sets and props are absolutely incredible. Things pop up and come out of nowhere so you're always wondering what will happen next. The cast was amazing..I really believed that they were the actual, original characters from the movie.

My favorite part of the show was when they sang "Supercalifragilisticexpealidocious" (ummm, did i spell that right?) This was such a fun number...and as a dancer I must say, this was the BEST dancing I've ever seen in a theatrical production. I really want to learn how to do this dance...

If it comes to your town, it's a must see!
