in preparation, while recovering

So,

I survived my bachelorette weekend, just barely.

I had so much fun, it was honestly better than I could have ever imagined. 

Anyways, I do not have pictures from the weekend, I am waiting for my sisters, cousin, and friends to send me them!

So this is my outfit from the preparation for this big weekend,

I had to go shopping Thursday because two of the dresses I wanted to wear this weekend never arrived,

partly because I am an idiot and sent one of them to my old apartment... 

and the other one arrived on Saturday at my house. 

Talk about timing. 

What I Wore: glasses- c/o Firmoo, top- Marshalls, shorts- Mikkat Market , wedges- TOMS, bag- Michael Kors, phone case- amazon 

I was so excited when I got this clutch,

It was so perfect for the weekend

I also got to use a gift card so it ended up costing me only $20! 

All packed!

If you follow me on instagram you also know that I started my bachelorette weekend off 

with some new ink! 

I finally got my elephant that I have been wanting for years!

Elephants stay together for life, even though I will change my name and start my new family next month I will always be a part of the Basilone gang. 

& it's my Nonna's favorite animal and good luck in Italy

I got it done by Chuck at Neptune Tattooville in Neptune, NJ. 

He did an amazing job! 

I love it! 

& I experimented with some leopard nail strips from Sally Hansen, not so bad for my first time!

the pink is Essie's "Bachelorette Bash" 

Too fitting for this weekend =)

Mani Monday is the only benefit to it being Monday, 

I need a nap ASAP.
