Foxxxssyyy, Foxxxxssy, Foxy Lady.......Jimi Hendrix

So anyhow. A pretty fun weekend, if I do say so myself. First of all, the hospital gave us a reward BBQ on Friday. Yum. I had brisket, corn, salad, watermelon and breadsticks. Feast your eyes on this

Mmm, mmm, mmmmmm!! Then Saturday, I ran 10, count 'em , 10 miles. Then I got into my costume for the 60's party. It was the 60th birthday of the husband of one of my friends. I went all out.

I wore shorts by Old Navy, and a top by Bila, that I actually had as a teenager. Then I wore high platform shoes by Mossimo, a hat by American Rag, an ankle bracelet from Tibet, and a choker that was suede with dangly chains. It was awesome. I showed Kenni, and he was not even impressed enough to get up.

The party was cool - we had make your own tacos (beef, chili verde, and carnitas), enchiladas, spanish rice, salad, 7 layer dip, and endless desserts and candy. Here is a picture of me and my coworkers - the Fab Five!!!

Doc said I looked like a "foxy hooker.". I will take that as a compliment. On Sunday, after sleeping in, we went up to Belmont Shore for breakfast. This is a quaint little beach town about 15 minutes away from HB. It is the beach portion of Long Beach, Ca, more or less. We walked up Second St for 45 minutes, and finally decided on Riley's, after looking at several menus. I had an Eggs Benedict Pizza. I was expecting a little personal size pizza, but I got a full 12 inches (so pervy I am ). Here it is :

Or half of it. I also had a Bloody Mary with olives, celery, and BACON in it. After lunch, we walked around the shore to Naples Island. There was a pier with lots of people renting kayaks and paddle boards.

So we went over to check it out. It sounds really fun, but I need to wait until I can teach my grandkids to swim, because Doc won't go, and you have to know how to swim before you can do it. I swim like a fish. Here's the map of where you can go in the kayaks or boards.

If I can't find anyone in the next month, I'll go by myself. This is the kind of thing I love. So then we walked back up Bayshore Drive on Naples beach to our car. Here is the view.

So now, what about Shoe Shine Saturday? Oh H Yes. I am debuting my overdose green witch shoes that I just had resoled. Here they are, in all their glory.

I designed my outfit around them. I wore a chiffon skirt by Laundry by Shelli Segal, and a beige sweater with metallic accents by Chico's (thrifted). Underneath, I wore an ivory lurex tank.

For accessories, I used my vintage ivory cord belt with the gold seashell buckle. On my left hand,
My Montana peridot and some of the white/gold bangles from KC. Amazingly, my right arm is naked. That almost never happens. I tried out three different necklaces, and finally went with the one I got in KC that matches the bangles.
You can also get a better look at the gold foil that is on the sweater. So today, I am once again linking up with Sheila at www.sheila-ephemera.blogspot for Shoe Shine Saturday. Don't hate me - I had to, now that the witch shoes are back in action. See you all later!!!
