- I finally got the courage to quit my job (they were not treating me right even after 2 years of bending over backwards for them).
- I have not shopped for the past 2 months (except for my dress and blazer a couple days ago). I have been itching to buy something new! Lol.
- My daily schedule consists of school, studying, body boarding at the beach, and hitting the gym every day
- I have been sampling different cuisines around Houston...yum :9
- Been reading everyone's blog daily, sorry if I don't comment as much as I use to!
- Gained new perspectives to life: things happen for a reason and don't dwell on the past.
Anywho, I recently went shopping with some friends at American Apparel and fell in LOVE with this dress. Not only because the fit is superb, but the print reminded me of Dries Van Noten's Spring '09 line. As for the blazer, I've been stalking that sequin one at Zara's for some time, but never pushed myself to buy it since it was $180 and I've rarely had luck with good quality there (it's just me I know! Lol.). So when I was in there again, I found out they had ONE left in an XS marked down to $59.99. So stoked I had to snag it! Now, I am relieved I waited.
I wore this outfit to go grab some dinner at Benjy's: Zara white sequin blazer, American Apparel sweetheart grid mesh dress, Silence & Noise leggings, and Alaia red patent cutout booties.
I just found out Cirque du Soleil is playing in Houston this weekend; however, I could not grab tickets in time :( So bummed...oh well, I will just have to wait for my next trip to Vegas! I'm going to go see (500) Days of Summer today instead so that will definitely make up for it!!! Zooey Deschanel is adorabbbleeeee :)

Did you try the new Benjy's? It's always sooo crowded. Good to hear from you! =)
Yay! So glad to see you 'back', and in such a stunning outfit, no less! That sequinned blazer is just perfection, SO jealous ($59!!!), and those Alaia's *sigh*
:)

Wow, Amee, you're back in the blogging world! I love your outfit especially the AA dress. When I first saw the pic I thought it's Dries...LOL..
Anyhoo, keep your posts coming, I'll be waiting patiently ^-^.
Hi Amee,
Welcome back!!! I miss you so much. I'm glad to hear that you're feeling better. I do believe that things in this world happened for a reason and it's always turn out better.
You look so stylist in your plaid AA fitted dress with the the ivory boyfriend blazer. The dress does look like Dries :).
Have a lovely Sunday,
xoxox
Nini
glad your back. hope everything goes well. i was stalking the blog for posting hehe
OMG - You're back, sweetest Amee!
I have missed you SOOOO much!
So I simply had to read your latest post two times... :)
So many things have been happened in between. I'm admiring your courage, precious. So many decisions - and new ways to go. Thank you so much for keeping in touch in between and for giving a short Hello time by time so we could knew that you're still alive :)
I can only second Nini's comment - things do happen for a reason and even if we don't understand it NOW we will be able to see it sometimes later...
Wow, I thought the dress IS Dries van Noten when I saw the pictures. Yes, the print is identic to the DvN dresses. The sewuined blazer is just HOT - I love it on you!
And the red Alaia booties.... So gorgeous!!
All my love to you!!!!! *****

welcome back! it's never an easy decision to leave a job, but i notice that in retail they really do take advantage of their hard workers. i hope you move on to bigger and better things!
good to have you back!
i forgot to tell you, i think i saw you at the Galleria like a month ago! we passed by each other and i thought, "she looks familiar..." but didn't realize it was you until a minute or two later. also, you were walking real fast. i know, totally random hahah.
Oh dear god I love your red Alaïas!!!

Style Scientist- My first reaction to the dress when I saw it on the mannequin was "DRIEEESS!!" lol. Thanks for reading as always :)

phi style- You know...I was pretty sure I saw you too! I think we were passing by Dior or the Teavana place. I was walking out of Zara and was late for meeting someone so I was in a hurry lol. You were walking with your fiance right? Small world!
Ashley- I love them too! ;)
Dang! I had my eye on the sequin blazer at Zara too but our store only carried Mediums O_o... the dress looks great on you! Welcome back :)
