JT concert: The 20/20 experience

Monday, December 9, 2013


JT was AHHHHMAZING last Thursday.  It was my 4th time watching him perform.  Twice before with NSYNC and once with Christina Aguilera.  We missed his last concert because when I asked for tickets V thought it was more of a suggestion than a requirement.  I have always loved his performances but this was by far my favorite.  It's nice to watch the evolution of an artist.  His crowd a lot more mature now as well as his style and music.  I feel like I've evolved with him all these years.  He's 13.5 months older than I so we basically grew up together though far apart.  It was an amazing show not only did he perform current songs but also songs from his previous 2 solo albums.  Since he was in Texas he had to makes us feel special which he did by singing Deep in the heart of Texas and sampling Beyonce's Bow down.  He also performed Michael Jackson's Human Nature, Elvis' Heartbreak Hotel and Bell Biv DeVoe's Poison.  If you have not seen JT perform yet I suggest you buy tickets to his next concert and run, walk, take the train, take a plane, drive, hitchhike or do whatever you have to do to get there because it you missed his 20/20 experience you're basically missing out on life.  #forreals.

Baby K had a great time too kicking and moving around throughout the entire concert, dancing along.  We had floor seats but the only problem is that I'm so short that even with heels I had a hard time looking over people's heads.  He had a retractable stage which moved so everyone got a good look at him.  It was amaze!


Don't forget to check out his latest movie, Inside Llewyn Davis, which opened over the weekend and should be pretty good given that it's a Coen brother's movie.   I can't wait to watch it.  I'm more of a rom com type girl because they're the ones that give me the least amount of anxiety but I've seen every Coen movie with the exception of No country for old men because I could not get past Javier Bardem's crazy looking hair.  Oh and Adam Driver is also in the movie so Girls fans will probably run to the theater just to get a glimpse of Adam before Girls starts next month.  AHHHH!!!!

OOTD: D&G striped dress, Zara jacket, Report Signature thigh high boots.  Similar here.

20/20

Thursday, December 5, 2013


I'm super excited for JTs concert tonight in Houston.  Seeing that Tom Ford designed JT's wardrobe I think it's only fit that V dress accordingly but he doesn't want to! He wants to wear jeans and a hoodie which is fine I suppose.  I on the other hand have three outfits to choose from.  It depends on how I feel when I get home and how much time I have to get ready.  It's supposed to drop 15 degrees by the time 5 PM hits so that changes everything. If I had my way he would choose from the following 3 outfits for tonight's event.  He has that European thing going for him so he looks great in fitted, tailored clothing. Anyhow, he dresses perfectly fine now but this is a "for instance".   What do you think? I'd probably do the look for dress since these items are pretty pricey but then again it's OK to splurge once in a while right?  I guess you're going to have to wait and see what we decide to wear.

Tootles!

Babymoon

Wednesday, December 4, 2013

Last month V and I went on our babymoon.  When I first mentioned it he had no idea what it was.  Who doesn't know what a babymoon is?! Craziness.  Since it involved traveling he was good to go.  We hadn't taken a vacation since our trip to TangierMorocco last summer so we were long over due.  We settled on Maui since we had a ton of points to use for our flight and hotel.  We stayed at the Sheraton Maui.  The room was nice but pretty standard.  I'm used to nicer resort rooms.  My favorite one so far has been Excellence Playa Mujeres.    I loved it there!

The weather was nice while we were there.  We relaxed, enjoyed time on the beach and the pool.  I am not drinking (obvi!) so I settled for fruit smoothies and juices by the pool.  I usually avoid drinking by the pool anyway because I get super bloated, but this time it didn't really matter.  Maui was nice and relaxing not as pretty as I thought it would be but nice regardless.  We drove up Mt. Haleakala and we hiked.  People recommend driving in for the sunrise or sunset but we went around 10 AM.  It's  like a 2.5 hour drive.  You're 10,000 feet above sea level once you're up there so driving through the clouds was pretty cool but kind of scary.  We drove the road to Hana, a registered historic place, and stopped along the way to see the waterfalls and the different landscapes.  On the way there the first stop was in Paia and we stopped by the Paia Fish Market and the mahi-mahi burger was delicious! The food was really good and not as expensive as I thought it was going to be.  We also loved Kimo's in Lahaina.  Overall we had a great time.  There were so many families and babies so we are definitely excited to take Baby K on a trip next year.
