Let me start off by saying that I do not celebrate most calender holidays, I only participate in them due to the importance of those holidays to my friends and family, and who can turn down an excuse to have a party. However, I do celebrate events (birthdays, anniversaries, etc...)

I'm not sure how that makes me sound....but yeah.

Now on this occasion it just so happens that one of my bestest homies happened to get married on Halloween, this meant that whether I liked it or not I would have to get my party on for that day and possibly wear some type of make shift costume.

I sound like such an Ebenezer Scrooge of Halloween, I should have dressed like him.

This year in particular not many people were invited; which is totally fine with me seeing as how I like intimate get togethers very much and her anniversary fell on a week day, forcing us to have this celebration two days after the fact, begging the question, "Do we really need to get into the spirit and dress up?"

I try to get into the spirit on account of her wanting people to, and not wanting to be the only one at the shindig lookin' straight normal. Plus she told me that she WAS going to paint a sugar skull onto her face, let's keep that bit of information in mind as I continue.

I was also under the impression that the other chicas were going to dress up a little as well.......I was wrong.

Flash forward.... Not one BUMB BISSSHHHH did a damn thing to get into the spirit, so now here I am...the only one... "The Cheese Stands Alone".

I arrive downstairs knowing full well at this point that I was "The Cheese" and that I in-fact did "Stand Alone", and when they finally let me in, I was greeted by a bunch of makeshift cat faces.

Needless to say I thought it was incredibly cute, funny, and sweet.

"The Cheese" became "The Cheeses", which officially made us a Kitty Cat Mafia.

Meet The Family!

A look at my outfit. (At this point I was a little bit inebriated)

So Beck of Manfattan.com, and I, decided to have a "dinner date". I remember meeting her a few months ago during a NYC Shop & Swap that I covered and posted on my blog a few posts back, and I remember thinking how laid back and slightly crazy she seemed. ( Crazy in a good way... relatable crazy)

Rewind to a couple weeks back.

She contacted me via email for business purposes and we mutually agreed to have a sit down.

Fast forward.

"Date Night" Lol. I had it in my mind that I wanted to dress slightly edgy and preppy, so that's what I did. I love that preppy look sometimes, I guess it's the sweater over a button down that gets me so excited, or the "Bill Cosby Vibe" that intrigues me from time to time.

Style note: Whether the sweater makes it's statement in print, cut, embellishments, or shine; a statement sweater is an essential in a girls wardrobe.

Fast forward to the sit down.

We ended up eating at one of my favorite Thai food restaurants and the conversation just flowed, it was nice to be able to sit down with a fellow blogger, (who has a big enough following to where they may get a big head about it), and actually have nice and normal conversation. She was humble, a trait I look for when associating myself with anyone, and when I found out she was an Aries ...well, well, well.

Honestly it was nice to meet someone who has the potential of being someone that you'd like to associate yourself with, on a friendly level, for more than just one meeting... people aren't the easiest to get along with.

-Cheers to not having a socially awkward time.-

TIME FOR THE PHOTO OP!!!
