Night Out: Legally Blonde

Lucky me! I scored an invite to the Opening Night and "sorority after party" for Neptune Theatre's production of Legally Blonde: The Musical on April 5.

The show was hilarious! It started off with so much energy and was able to maintain the excitement throughout the whole night. The acting was phenomenal, the costumes were fun, and the specialty martini I had at intermission was one of the best drinks I've ever had the pleasure of sipping (a french martini in case you're wondering).

I struggled with the pink or no pink dilemma. Of course I wanted to rock the color of the night, but the one bright pink sweater I own didn't seem dressy enough for the venue. I saved the pink for my nails and hoped they stood out enough!

This was my first time wearing these shorts, and I love how multi-seasonal they are - great with tights now and bare legs in the summer.

The after party was a blast. There was a ton of food, more yummy drinks, a wacky photo opportunity, and a chance to mingle with the cast.

I spent a good part of the night chatting with one of my favorite bloggers Kayla from Short Presents. Check out her post to see a crazy shot of us!

A big thanks to my friends at Line Magazine for hooking me up with the tickets. If you haven't seen a copy of Line yet, you can pick one up for free in Halifax. Watch for it!

The Umbrella

Are you an umbrella person?

For me, it depends on where I am. When I lived in Vancouver, umbrellas were essential and functional. The nice thing about Vancouver is that when it rains, it rains vertically. You have an umbrella - you don't get wet. Here in Halifax, rain tends to fall horizontally due to the wind, and umbrellas often die tragically via broken bones (ok... broken spokes).

When I was a teenager, I'd often go for long walks with my friend during hot summer rains,  and not even bother to try to avoid a drenching. As an adult, the novelty of being soaked has worn off - I'd rather be dry!

I'm linked with longdistanceloving today for an April Showers theme post.

Do you like the rain?

The Neutral Trench

Right near the top of my list of must-have items for a functional wardrobe is a neutral trench. Someday I might be lucky enough to score a Burberry one, but for years this Gap one has done a great job of topping off many a spring and fall outfit of mine.

Lately I've been craving a new spring coat. Not that I'd ever replace this one, but I feel the need for something new to throw into the mix. Maybe a short trench.

Has anyone seen a coat or jacket they love?

For my birthday last month, my BFF sent me an amazing present! This picture was taped to the card.

I had to laugh at her title for the picture. Moms can still be trendy and stylish! 

She basically provided me with an outfit post, and I think she did a great job. I forgot to hold my Coach wallet though.... sorry BFF.

Thanks so much for the outfit idea BFF. She knows my style.... how could she not? When I visit Toronto we spend many hours in full-on shopping mode.
