I know Awkward & Awesome is historically a Thursday event, but with the popularity of Throwback Thursday, #tbt for those in the know, I think A&A needs a new date!
So let's talk some A&A today!
Awkward:
- Having a sunburn & an obvious white "W" on my back... guess that is one spot that I could reach...?

- Getting caught taking outfit photos by a police officer & told to leave... I so did not want to have to explain what I was doing! Guess my secret spot isn't so secret anymore!

- I tried out the Sally Hansen at home gel mani kit, but after 2 days, one of those being completely spent in the lake, all 10 peeled off... whomp whomp (I do think I am going to try it again now that I'm not going to be fully aquatic for a while!)

- The AC in our townhouse is currently broken... sweaty hot mess is the new comfortably air conditioned. Go ahead, ask the pugs how much fun we are having... 

Awesome:
- My bestie was in town this weekend & we ate, drank, boated, & tried on Wedding Dresses!!!! This whole "I'm getting married" thing just got real, in a super awesome way!

- Um, Memorial Day... it. was. legit. (Tuesday back at work, not so much!)

- The boyfriend fiancé (<-- I need to get better about that!) just brought me a glass of the beer he personally made for me... YUM!

- These new ShoeDazzle sandals (the "Danee")! When I first got them they were a half-size too big, but these perfectly fitting babies just arrived at my doorstep & they ain't ever leaving my feets!
Other things that are awesome!? Giveaways!

What has been awkward & awesome in your life friends??

  9. What a funny story that a cop asked you to vacate your photo locale - doesn't he know you are doing some important things there?! :) You look absolutely awesome!

  15. Dude, when I got salon gel manis they did not bode well in water. I always found myself in the corner of the pool picking at the edges isntead of socializing (okay, this was usually after too many beers). Also, think I might get those shoes.

  17. Yep, he has been brewing for almost two years now, a hobby I can definitely get behind! Our sweet landlord is bringing us a window unit as I type this (hallelujah!) & yes these shoes are super comfy. Just enough of a tiny wedge to give my legs a lift, but I wore them allllll day the day they arrived on my front step & had no complaints! xx

  18. If one tiny corner comes up on my mani, I start attacking it & they rest fall quickly! I was in the water 10a-5p so I don't think I can review the "regular" wear & tear of these yet ;) And yes these shoes are the bomb.com , might have also just snagged a pair of tiny wedge sandals in nude from Tarjay too... Whoops! xx
