What I'm Wearing: Garden Party

My BFF Kimberly is throwing a Garden Party tonite! There will be teacups, flowers and gnomes a-plenty! I'll be wearing my new floral dress from Faith 21 (Forever21's Plus Size line), black leggings, a skinny belt from I ♥ Ronson (Charlotte Ronson's line for JC Penney) and a big black and gold bow necklace from Urban Outfitters UK. On my nails, Ali from Zoya. I haven't decided which shoes would look best. Either flats, wedges or peep-toe heels... Any suggestions? 
*I ended up going with flats. Juicy Couture "Rose" Ballet Slippers in black/gold.

Just a little heads up...
When I reach 50 blog followers I will be having a GIVEAWAY! I picked up an extra MAC brush set at the CCO last week and I want to give it to one of my fabulous readers! I'm not sure when I'll be up to 50, so stay tuned for details.
M·A·C Colour Forms: 5 Advanced Brushes
A zip-up makeup bag that comes with its own matching hard-sided wallet-style brush holder. Contains the 187 SE, 168 SE, 275 SE, 219 SE and 212 SE brushes. Design highlights include the bag's purple nylon fabric detailed with a metal M·A·C nameplate and 'tag' on zip. All brushes features glossy black handles with the M·A·C logo.
Limited edition.

DIY: Pro Nails

I love the look of Pro Nails! Katy Perry usually has some crazy amazing fingernail art, so she was my inspiration for this look. I picked up some press on nail stickers from Hot Topic for $5 and am taking them for a test run. They aren't super sticky and there's really no way to "cement" them on (i.e. top coat or sealing them with heat like Minx decals) but they've stayed on pretty well since I applied them 12 hours ago.
What do you think?
*Here's what they look like in the package:

What I'm Wearing: Bowling Party
So... last week's poll results ended in a tie. The majority of votes were either for a bowling or karaoke party. While my original plan was karaoke, I ultimately decided on bowling because it's much less embarrassing and requires much less alcohol consumption to get people involved in. Thanks to all who voted!
When I called to reserve a couple lanes the other day the receptionist said it will be "Cosmic Bowling" that night. Apparently there will be black lights, loud music and crazy amounts of people. They have a full bar so it should be fun. I want to keep it casual since it's just bowling, so I'm planning on wearing a red flannel tunic over black leggings and spicing it up with red lips and false lashes!
The soundtrack for the night will include:
"I Got A Feelin" by Black Eyed Peas
"Good Girls Go Bad" by Cobra Starship
"Starstrukk" by 3OH!3
"Happy Birthday" by The Ting Tings
I can't wait!
