Chris's Closet

I am Christina, the hot pink of ChristinaKristin. Welcome to my closet!

 Saturday the 29th, I celebrated my 35th birthday! Yes, 35, I'm still getting used to saying that. I was really unsure of what to do, but I knew that I wanted to do something that I had never done before, so I delegated the job of planning to Kristin. She is such a good planner, I knew that she would be up for it. We started early in the afternoon, the first stop was the Urban Scrawl. "Urban Scrawl is a 2-day arts festival organized by the Franklinton Arts District featuring the live creations of murals by talented artists from Central Ohio and beyond."

We did a beer tasting at a local brewery Land Grant. I have been more interested in beer these days, I guess my taste buds are getting old. I enjoyed 4 different beers that were brewed right here in town. Next stop was lunch at Strongwater, the food was amazing and the drinks were even better. Last stop for more alcoholic beverages was Rehab Tavern, we ran into an extremely intoxicated man who entertained us and bought drinks. Overall, I enjoyed my celebration. I was back home around 6:30 pm, took a nap and then danced the night away at a club. This is what I wore!

Tank: Mossimo, Target

Jeans: Hudson, Gift

P.S. Every year for my birthday I get my hair straightened, I love the way it turned out. Don't worry I'll be back curly soon!

Until Next Time,

Chris!!

Lake Erie Here I Come!!!

Lake Erie Here I Come!!!

When August arrives I am both sad and excited because it means the end of summer but it kicks off the birthdays that I look forward to celebrating each year. I have been planning my sister's milestone birthday for over a month and I have yet to have any sort of vacation since last summer. We are going to Lake Erie this weekend. It has become one of my favorite places especially Put in Bay of South Bass Island. My sister and her friend have never been so I am excited for them. We are days away so I am getting packed, finalizing our destination plans and making out a grocery list for our stay at our lakeside rental. I am looking forward to sticking my feet in the lake, boat rides, winery hopping and spending time with one of my favorite people. I also look forward to showing you my Lake Erie looks next week. I plan to let the lake inspire me. Check out the collection of photos below that either inspired me or are experiences I have planned for us to take in.

Chris's/Kris's Closet (Christina) August 30, 2012 Birthday Edition!

Chris's Closet

  I am Christina, the hot pink of ChristinaKristin, welcome to my closet!

This past week I had a birthday, I will not disclose my age! My friends and I had a blast, we had cocktails at Franklin Park Conservatory, light food and more drinks at a friend's house, then we went to shake a tail feather at a local nightclub. I had the most challenging time finding an outfit for this day, I knew that I didn't want to spend too much. I literally found this outfit, about 3 hours before the festivities began.

I finally had a chance to shop at Madewell, as you may know I have been stalking this store. The nude pink crochet top was $29.99, a steal, I grabbed it as soon as I saw it. I found a similar top at http://www.etsy.com/listing/104355650/.

Of course I had to layer the tank, so I opted to go with a monochromatic look. Up under the crochet tank I wore a scoop tank dress that I purchased at Nordstrom in the bp section.  I love this dress because you can do so much with it. The store had a variety of colors, and I will be going back for more. The dress was only $24...not bad.  You can find this same dress at http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/bp-double-scoop-tank-dress-juniors/3303118?origin=category&contextualcategoryid=0&fashionColor=Grey-+Truffle&resultback=560.

All of my jewelry is Stella & Dot. This statement piece is the Sierra Necklace, one of my favorites. You can find it at http://shop.stelladot.com/style/b2c_en_us/n272g.html

My arm candy and cocktail ring are Stella & Dot as well. Find them at www.stelladot.com/christinajovonn. This super cute clutch is from the thrift store, I cannot remember which one at this time, I believe it was only $1.99. There are plenty to choose from on etsy, but this one in particular is pretty cute, find it at http://www.etsy.com/listing/84274184.

My sparkly shoes were a cross between gold and champagne colors. They are Steve Madden and I paid $59.95, plus a $5 discount for my birthday!:) I bought them at DSW.

Franklin Park Conservatory is a very pretty place, we got carried away with taking pictures! I absolutely loved my birthday outfit. I have already worn the scoop tank dress with something else, these are going to become staples in my wardrobe, I can tell.

    Until Next Time, Ciao!
