Wow, what a whirlwind weekend... It was spent with two wonderful evenings out with my honey, Matt, and several new doll deliveries (my new Bellissima*Couture, Forget Me Not Poppy Parker, BIC Trendy Triumph...) and thus lots of photo taking. So, I was especially thankful to have had Monday off!!
The weekend started with a wonderful Valentine's dinner on Saturday evening. I had recently found a wonderful modern interpretation of a Mad Men style wiggle dress by Eva Franco at my favorite neighborhood boutique, Weekendz Only which, along with Hilda's Bellissima*Couture doll fashions, inspired me to dress up Joan Holliway style.
The fabric of dress does not translate very well in night pictures. It is a really pretty midnight blue with black shiny squares and a thin belt at the waist. I added a little vintage broach just below the right shoulder. I had really wanted to do a proper vintage up-do with my hair, but just didn't have the time. Next time I will have to try one of the great vintage hair stylists in town.
Matt took me to dinner at Morton's Steakhouse which was a belated Christmas treat from his sister, Melissa, who recently became a lawyer at a firm in downtown LA and wanted to treat us. We hadn't been able to afford to go out to a nice restaurant in soooo long, it was definitely a lovely treat. We started with martinis in the old school dark cherry wood bar before dinner:
For dinner, we both ordered our favorite, the Filet with garlic mashed pototates. Matt also had his other favorite, Morton's famous Wedge salad which is almost too pretty for a salad and coated with blue cheese, egg and bacon bits... Well, so much for our Spring pledge to start eating more healthy...haha!
It really was a wonderful Mad Men-esque evening. So, our sincerest thanks to Melissa for making this special night possible.
Next I will be posting all the doll photos I took which is how I pretty much how I spent the rest of my weekend (Matt's true Valentine's present to me...leaving me alone to take pictures of my gals all day for two whole days. Just one reason why I love you so much honey, xoxo!).
