Getcha Hair Did

Last night was spent in mourning because I did not get the tickets. Long story short, TBF got the original tickets that were from Ticketmaster through Stubhub so we don't have legal rights to the password to get the presale tickets. The original ticket holder does. So what did I do last night? Mourned. Mourned because I was so excited to go to the concert, and now I am not going. I'm still mourning.

Fortunately I have some coworkers who used to work for LiveNation and Ticketmaster who can hopefully pull some strings. Think positive thoughts for me :)

Luckily, I have these adorable Etsy hair accessories that can be worn with a cute black dress on NYE to distract me.

Lady Gaga Upset :: NYE Little Black Dress

Did you hear? Lady Gaga ticket holders in Chicago (aka FRECK) had their tickets canceled because of a venue change. Meaning we have to reorder them. Simple right?

Not so much, what if I don't get tickets? What if I don't get as awesome of seats? Grr..


TBF gently shared the news with me last night and I sincerely thought he was joking for a good five minutes until he showed me the email saying the tickets were canceled. I almost cried. The tickets go on sale tonight and you KNOW I'll be all over the nets and phones people.

Anyway, cross your fingers for me. I must have these tickets.

::This just in, Lady Gaga is Chicago's Redeye person of the year..this only makes me more peeved about my potential lack of LG tix::

Onto a happier subject. I may attend a little black dress party on NYE. Meaning I need to review a couple of options...thoughts?

I could do a basic from The Limited, $89.50


This one has some more va-va voom? Nordies, $158


This one's precious, love the shape. Nordies, $138


Shouldn't there be some shine in a NYE dress? J. Crew, $149


...or you can have a simple dress and an amazing shoe from Kate Spade, $375
I'm kind of in love with this shoe.

One more day and I won't be back in the office until next year!!!

Anyone have any fun NYE plans?

Back to work!

...but not for long! I thankfully have Thursday and Friday off for NYE and NY. Not much, but after having a little break and without many people in the office, I don't have much motivation to work!


How was everyone's Christmas? Mine was splendid. I feel so spoiled. I was right about my homesick feelings, they disappeared as soon as I was home. However I made sure to stop and cherish the moments I had with my family (which was easy to do when we were all laughing hysterically at my dad playing wii bowling).

One gift I received from dad (Santa) was cable and internet for A WHOLE YEAR! What's this mean? I'll be able to watch the Food Network and conveniently have the internet after work and on the weekends. This means I won't have to leave my apartment and go to Argo when I need the internet!! I feel I must note that I didn't have internet and cable previously because A. I have a blackberry (aka internet), B. I'm on the internet all day at my 9-5, C. I don't watch much TV, and D. I thought it'd be a nice money saver if I didn't have it and E. when TBF's over, I feel like we have more quality time to talk and hang out because we aren't distracted by technology. Ya dig?

I also received some fun wine accessories from my brother and sister in law (have any of you used a wine aerator before?? Makes an incredible difference!!!!!) and a gift certificate to one of TBF and my favorite restaurants. Maybe we'll put it toward a New Years dinner?

All in all, great Christmas.


Now folks, I NEED to get back on the wagon and go to the gym. Holy Christmas cookies and coffee cake. More of that to come later...

Next post - potential black dresses for a New Years eve party. Love little black dresses.

Happy Monday!
