[three things]
1. i wore this to the annual summer cocktail party for the boy's firm.  i really had wanted to find a fancy new dress for the event, but when i tried on what seemed like a bajillion dresses and couldn't find the perfect one i decided to wear something from my closet and debut my new crazy-orange clutch.  
2. i had my makeup artist use false eyelashes for my wedding and i still had some leftover, so i added just a few to each eye to make things a bit more fancy pants.  it turns out, when i had it done it hurt ten times more than it needs to.  the girl pushed each clump of eyelashes onto my lashline with tweezers until they dried, which was super painful since the glue stays tacky for quite awhile.  my eyes are hurting just thinking about that!  when i did it myself, i basically just dropped them in place and hoped for the best.  anyway, i never thought i'd be this high-maintenance, but i might be addicted to awesomely long eyelashes now!
3. speaking of this new orange clutch, the llama iphone case has definitely found it's new orange best friend.
