Doin' It Doggie Style

Now now. You know that I am a respectable, professional, sedate, zen, grannie. So we will soon discover the meaning of this title. First things first. On Saturday, I got up and went for a nice long run. It was a little tricky because the Concours d'Elegance car show was at Central Park where I like to run. I had to manoeuver very skillfully to get my whole 7 miles in. On the way out, I saw a sign: Boutique Accessories For Sale. In I went, like a moth to the flame. I got 2 boutique accessories.

First, a black and white leather clutch printed with a reptile pattern. It has a silver chain that you can use as a shoulder strap. Then,

A green satin hard case clutch that has been embellished with thousands of tonal crystals. Likewise for the silver chain shoulder strap. Since I was gone quite a bit longer than usual, I brought Doc a little gift for himself.

Mexican Pan Dulce !!! Yummy Mexican pastries!!! We have, starting at 6 o'clock: Pineapple turnover, churro twist, jelly cookie, brown sugar puerquito, and an oreja. Such good stuff.

We spent the rest of the day doing errands and some yard work. We are going to convert the front yard from completely grass to a grass pad with native and drought resistant varieties around the perimeter.

Anyway, on Sunday, the mystery to the title is solved. I joined a new social group : OC Dogs Meetup. We met at the Old Town Tustin Street Fair and Chili Cookoff. 23 dog owners signed up. So we put Elli in her bee suit and went over. We took her to Dr Lizardo's on Saturday for a pedi-pedi. We  also got her a new Gooby, this time bright blue. So she was A-STYLIN' at the fair.

But first, and most important, What Did Rosie Wear?

I wore a sweet chiffon dress by Kensie that I got at the Macy's in Kailua, Oahu. Along with it, my new espadrilles from Forever 21 that I bought to take to Orlando. PS - that's a towel, not a dead cat in the driveway. Doc used it to hold the can of spider spray, and this is where it ended up.


For my necklace, my agate item from another street fair.

 

 

This nice little dress seemed really inexpensive when I bought it, and since then, I have discovered why. The attached slip is about 4 inches too short.

 

 

So I still had to wear the pale pink half slip you see here. Problem solved, onto Tustin!!!

We parked behind Peppertree Park, at 1st and B in Tustin. Then we had to walk a couple of blocks.

The park, or "parkette", as the No sign said, was filled with blow up slides. I call it the No sign because No Dogs, No Skateboarding, No open containers, etc. The slides were cool and pretty popular with the little ones. Then we met our Group.

There were many many dogs, large and small. Elli was the tiniest. There was a gorgeous boxer and an equally majestic Black Standard Poodle that were just breathtaking. We posed next to the Adoption Sign. They were adopting out a lot of adorable, sweet dogs.

Then we walked around and got some food. Doc had 2 bacon wrapped hot dogs and a bratwurst with sauerkraut, and an Italian Ice. I had a Summer Shandy (delicious beer/lemonade combo) and a brat. We didn't see the Navajo Tacos until it was too late. Navajo Tacos are soooooo tasty. Then we walked through the car show.

A dealer had a few new cars to show. One was a black Cadillac Escalade. Doc loved it, at least until he saw the price - $84,0000. Yipes. My last two cars have been Cadillac CTS, and they are super nice, but also 50k. I'm too old - I need a heavy car around me in case I get in an accident, so I will pay what it costs.  Doc hasn't reached his breaking point yet, so he sticks with a Honda Accord. I tried to convince him by saying that the Escalade is undoubtedly SUPER SAFE. Unfortunately, it is not yet in our driveway, and most likely never will be. Car envy.

As the day got later, the crowd got bigger. Here are Elli and I, right smack in the middle of El Camino Real.

 

 

 

 

We got home in time to watch the super exciting Game 2 of the NBA finals. This is going to be a wild ride.

Back to work. Upon my arrival, I had one little issue in the GI Lab to see to, and then, the WHAMMY. CMS showed up for a three day unannounced survey. Fun and games galore. But, at least I look professional:

This is a sparkly tweed jacket by Spiegel, a poly tank top from Stein Mart, and a skirt by INC. Here's how it looks without the jacket.

Here's a better look at the jacket fabric.

I wore a costume necklace that is basically pink, red, and black.

I chose my Leopoldo Giordano butterfly shoes - an old favorite of mine.

Classic jewelry on both arms. On the right, two silver bracelets and an amethyst ring.

On the left, a wedding set, and a bracelet from Maya on Melrose.

So let's link!!! Sweet and lovely Patti from www.notdeadyetstyle.com is hosting her last Visible Monday of the year. I HAVE to join. Then, Dawn Lucy fro www.thestylenudge.com is having Shoe and Tell. I HAVE to join again!!! I like these guys. Well, wish me luck with the government, and I'll see you all later!!


MEA CULPA, MEA ULTIMA CULPA!!!! Cherie is having Shoe and Tell. She is another sweetheart, but not the same sweetheart as Dawn Lucy. Ugh.
