pink pants don't care.

i'm usually out of my comfort zone in anything other than black, white, dark or denim (that leaves pastels and brights!), but when pink pants is all that fits, then pink pants it is. i've been packing on some pounds, and i'll tell you why in my next marathon chronicles entry.

on another note, has anyone started their christmas shopping? is it ever too early to start? i usually don't make a list until december-ish and vow to start earlier every year. so...i actually bought a couple of presents already and am feeling proud of myself good about that.

in case you missed it, east vs west debuted yesterday with jewel tones.

do you buy christmas gifts throughout the year?

or are you a last minute holiday shopper?

the t-shirt dress.

i'm bringing it all back to basics with this t-shirt dress from Front Row Shop. this is one of those items that you have to try on to know how amazing it is. it has these [funny looking, but genius] built-in ties that don't spin around like a belt would. when you are short on time in the morning, this is an easy-to-wear dress that stands on its own. just sprinkle a few oomph-worthy accessories, and you are good to go.

this past weekend, i saw the musical, Broadway's Next H!t Musical. it's a fully improvised musical comedy that is based on suggestions from the audience. before you take your seat, you are asked to write down a made-up song title. act one takes place at the Tony Phony Awards Show where the four improv stars each perform a song based on a title that they draw randomly. the audience votes on their favorite, and the second act is the musical based on the winning song. a couple of the titles picked were...meh...the actors had to really dig deep to create a story. others were funny. point is, if you see the show, give them some creative titles! it'll only make the show better for you.

this is a great musical to see over and over again,

because it'll never be the same.

do you like musicals? what's one of your favorites?

while having drinks after the show, the cast walked in and sat at a table next to us...we had a chance to say hi and take pictures with them.
