Friday already…all I have to say is “yay!” Pretty much sums it up, no?

Last night was Fashion’s Night Out in NYC…and I’m not gonna lie, I had to pull myself away from the every-3- second- fabulous Twitter updates to have a pity party. With some Sangria from a bottle :) I did manage to grab this photo of MK and Ashley handing out lemonade. WERQUE. I read a “tweet” that someone tried to tip MK…because I’m totes sure she needs that extra $2. I die.
{Via Cutblog}
All snarkyness and bitter Betty-ness aside, this was a phenomenal evening for the industry that I work in, am obsessed with and love. If you are unfamiliar with what FNO is-

“In a global initiative to promote retail, restore consumer confidence, and celebrate fashion, U.S. and international editions of Vogue are coordinating evening extravaganzas in their respective world fashion capitals.”

BADASS. FTMFW!…thanks Lilu, for coining a “term” I will most def play out in no time.
You know what makes me a non-bitter Betty? YOU. Just sayin…
Ok. Focus. Kristin…I got my mail today and let’s just say, my pumpkin spice latte’s will be on her for awhile. But the card is really what brought the smiles and “awwws“! We’ll be back in a hot minute with a shoe post similar to our LBD post…often imitated never duplicated ha! LOVE HER and treasure her!!
And, as always, The Badger Colony. I don’t know how 3 girls who have yet to meet (soon!) can just hold it down for each other day in and day out, but we do. So to Brooke and Mayra…thank you. Love you. Friday means textapaloooooza!
Ok le mush…I’m getting teary…thank you SO much PMS, really, it’s been like a week. Throw me a bone jeez..But I digress!
{Random car pic of me cuz B likes it and the girl gets what she wants}
{Hmm…bloggy buddies becomin real lifers on the reg. I dig.}
This weekend is full of new bloggy friend FUN!!
I was asked by Sephora to attend an invite only event this Sat, bring friends, (preferably bloggers-we clearly rule) have our makeup done, a yummy lunch-basically be little diva’s for a few hours, and leave with some free goodies…in exchange for a write up on the event…um, didn’t take me long to say yes! I’m bringing with me some FABULOUS L.A girls you may be familiar with…
Jasmine at An Experiment in Poverty-I already met her not too long ago! She’s as fabulous as her blog and I’m super excited to hang out again!
My lil cuppycake Ali at The Way I See It
And of course, my wombmate, Ms. Gabby, She Wrote
The Fun Continues on Sunday…
With brunch with Charis of Dancing the Tightrope -also a fellow Five Lipstick Stains on Your Collar girl, and did I mention she’s newly engaged and moving away? Happy and Sad face all in one sentence…so super excited about meeting her FINALLY!!! We’re going to the nutella crepe place I met Jasmine, Kathleen and Carina at. :) I don’t care what else they have there. I only have eyes for Nutella.
Longest post ever…Winner winner time! Stay with me dolls…
Big virtual hug to the amazing, gorgeous, sweet, etc, etc Leigh at Jkldesigns and Create for partnering with me on this giveaway. The response was phenomenal! I am still lusting after every single one of her pieces, so if you didn’t win, I say, we should totally buy out her shop anyway! Who’s with me?
I decided to have John, our new roommate, pick a name…here he is…he’s the bomb, he brings me coffee everyday and is always down for an impromptu “PYT” dance party in the living room!
{as these are the two ways to my heart ya’ll}
{Say hi to John! What up John.}

Sooo…Aritza, Goddess Of Sarcasm and Unfinished Sentences…you are now the Goddess of a JKL Design piece of amazingness!!!!! Yay! Let me know which one you want…decisions, decisions!!!
Don’t be discouraged…you should know by now I always have a lil somethin somethin on the way for my peeps…Sephora giveaway? WHAT?
Whewwwww…
HAPPY WEEKEND LOVERS!!!!! What are you doin? Hmmm?
Next week…get ready to party. New fabulous sponsors to introduce and a cross country trip to see my bestie the gorgeous OOFA. Life is good!!!
XOXO,
Liz

28 E.K. September 11, 2009 at 8:02 am

Sorry I haven't commented in so long. I'm like a bad blogger friend. How long were you in NYC?

29 Love&Marriage September 11, 2009 at 8:20 am

31 Kellie September 11, 2009 at 8:30 am

Life IS good! Indeed! It's Friday!

And are MK and A really THAT tiny? They look like little munchkins!

32 Bella September 11, 2009 at 8:57 am

Okay, let’s get straight to the point… look how fucking gorgeous you are! And Ohmygod, FNO! Insert I’m-so-incredibly-jealous-but-happy-for-you right about here.

And now, I'll throw on my trashed Jimi Hendrix T and weep silently (Sangria might be required… from the bottle) because I live too far away to partake of all this amaaazzzing fun and excitement. Oh, I just live vicariously through your posts baby!

Love you! Happy weekend xx

33 josie(bean) September 11, 2009 at 9:05 am

Liz, your weekend sounds so awesome!!! Can't wait to hear all about it. And as usual, you look gor-geous….*winks*

P.S Blogger better not be a dickhead today b/c I'm in a good mood.

36 Kristin September 11, 2009 at 9:19 am

P.S. That bit about someone tipping MKO was hysterical!

40 Allison September 11, 2009 at 9:47 am

Omgosh, we had Fashion's Night Out at King of Prussia mall here last night, and of course, my scholarly ass had night classes from 4-10 p.m. so I missed EVERYTHING. My bff and her boyfriend went and got tons of free champagne, gift bags from Betsy Johnson, cupcakes at Neiman's…I die. No MKO or Ashley sightings though, I would have just been too jealous for words!
Omg, I can't wait to hear about your Sephora invite only party! You deserve to get treated like a diva, my dear =) It sounds like you have a kick ass weekend ahead of you and I cannot wait to hear all about it!
You look absolutely beautiful, as always, and I really do not think that you could EVER possibly take a bad picture.
P.S. It must be a PMS week – I was a royal bitch all week, and an emotional wreck.

41 Dooder City September 11, 2009 at 10:01 am

Did I tell you recently how fab you are??? I am just always in awe of you and how even you give a shhout out to PMS! I love you girl.
Have an amazing weekend with brunch and saphora and all that jazz…kiss kiss.

59 Midtown Girl September 12, 2009 at 1:25 am

LOL! I'm going to start sending Kelly online links of the Olsen Twins – I kid!

You need to do my eyes – I am such a Makeup Virgin I use the same color eyeshadow everytime – boring!!

Looking forward to seeing pics of your OOFA visit – how awesome is the bloggy world?? VERY!

XOXO MG

60 R. Wallis @ TrueBeauty September 12, 2009 at 8:35 am

I'm a bitter betty as well…my cousin/bestie from a small town here in AR is now the manager for Patricia Field's store and gets to shoulder it with the fashion gods! I was loving that fact that I was headed up this week, but I'm not. So, I just have to read tweets and imagine the awesomeness :)

61 Jen September 12, 2009 at 8:59 am

Gah, so jealy of the Sephora-Bloggy partay! Hope you have soooo much fun!!!

62 The Haute-Shopper September 12, 2009 at 9:22 am

Hey love! Finally managed to get internets for a few seconds and of course had to visit your blog. LOVED your fall badass list #2… ahhhh, that combo is pretty much my staple as well and I adore all the cardigans, coats and jumpers. Sigh… if only my job came with a wardrobe allowance. Ohh, I did catch a bit of FNO in London, but had a dinner appointment so I missed most of it. I think a few celebrities came out and there were huge parties across Mayfair and the West End, but the next day I heard from staff that people hardly bought anything. A shame.

Anyhoo, yay to bloggy friends! I finally met my first one in London on Thu and she was lovely :) Now I just have to get you across the pond somehow ;-) Hope you're having a great weekend so far!

63 Chessa! September 12, 2009 at 12:22 pm

WHEN…are you moving here?! sigh.

64 TheBeautyFile September 12, 2009 at 12:40 pm

I love the idea of bright red lip and lighter eye…like, kind of an FU to smoky eye…try it and twitpic twitpic twitpic!!

65 chicknamedhermia September 12, 2009 at 1:29 pm

Hi Liz, I'm just letting everyone in my blogroll know I'm having another competition to make up for being such a lame blogger recently!!! Work has been manic and I've been sick and I just haven't had the time to devote to all, so hopefully this makes up for it: http://chicknamedhermia.wordpress.com/2009/09/10/i-have-a-treat-for-you-all/

66 Lisa September 12, 2009 at 3:12 pm

Being in SF and away from blogging made me miss my daily dose of Liz!

Hope you are having a perfect weekend!!! xoxo

67 Sam September 12, 2009 at 3:19 pm

Gosh – you're such a doll!!

68 Lindsay [Bella Cene'] September 12, 2009 at 4:58 pm

I'm baaaaaaack! And oh how I've missed you :) So, you have to go look at my new love Jake. You will love him! I already do ;)

I'm gonna probably keep blogging but it's gonna be a slow process. I'm doing SO much better. I've come to realize how much better I deserve and that I've still got the whole world ahead of me and I'm looking at this "freedom" as an opportunity. Until this all happened 2 weeks ago, my life was already set and I wasn't happy about the direction it was going. Sure, I was in love but I wasn't happy with the plans that I settled for just for him. Now, he's a lesson learned and I'll never lose myself again. :)

Whew, long comment. sorry. lol

69 Anika September 12, 2009 at 10:35 pm

Hey hun….
whattapost! Sounds like you've had a crazy, fun weekend. And free makeup event? Hello, perfection :)
Congrats! And congrats to the winner of the JKL comp…..woo hoo.
Heh.
And yay for more pics of you, you gorgeous woman!

Cannot wait for feedback on your weekend…..and for the Sephora giveaway.

p.s. I'm sure you're glad to have John at your assistance because he's so damn good looking too, right ;) Hey, he's perving material….*hi John, no offence meant :) *

70 Yet September 13, 2009 at 6:27 am

wow. wow. wow. Look at you doing big things!! Man, this makes me ask what am I doing with MY life!! Geezzz

71 Keith September 13, 2009 at 7:08 am

Hey Liz. What a great post. I loved it. Sounds like a blast. I love that pic of Ashley and Mary-Kate. Hope you've been enjoying your weekend. I went to a cousin's wedding yesterday. It was awesome, full of food, drinks & dancing.

72 E.K. September 13, 2009 at 1:51 pm

Yes, I'm crazy about tennis. I play it, watch it, eat it, live it…okay that was overboard.

Hey a zombie tennis player! That should be your Halloween costume this year!

73 Allison September 13, 2009 at 2:30 pm

I want to hear about the sephora date with your gals. it sounds fun! :)

74 Taylor September 13, 2009 at 4:57 pm

Liz!!!!! Your weekend sounds busybusybusy indeed. What did I do this weekend? Drank a little, smoked a little, did a little homework.

You know, the usual :)

xoxo

75 maureen @ The Inglenook Decor September 13, 2009 at 7:58 pm

How fun! a sephora event & kicking it with blog friends!!! i wonder if there's any close to me?

You're so sultry & gorgeous btw!

76 Kym September 13, 2009 at 8:34 pm

so i tried googling suggestive spanish one liners for you… and all i came up with was:

DIOS MIO! Su chorizo esta tan grande!

My god! Your sausage is so big!

hahahah! bananas would probably be able to provide some inappropriate latin flavor!?!?

77 Jill Pilgrim September 14, 2009 at 6:03 pm

Sephora is my Mecca. JEALOUS!

78 Dream Sequins September 15, 2009 at 9:37 pm

Damn. I feel like I've been missing so much because I've been "away" at NYFW. :( Miss you mucho!

How awesome is it that Sephora invited you to a bloggers event? So fun.
