The Scot's parents have been visiting for the past 10 days, so life has been a little hectic. Now that they have safely boarded a plane back to the mother land, I can return to my normal sedentary life. However, I am happy that I have so many adventures to share with you! We first whisked the Scot's parents away to Niagara Falls. After an 8 hour car journey (that included over an hour wait in line at the border), we got them safely into Canada. The Canadian border officials were very friendly...however, we seemed to get in a line in which every single car was full of fireworks. Seriously, are American fireworks different than Canadian ones? They were looking in trunk after trunk, slowing down the line. However, you know what whizzed right through the border? A pick-up truck with a rusty shed in the back. So, that rusty shed couldn't have been full of fireworks? We theorized that the driver was Jimmy of Jimmy's Shed Shack, Canada's #1 importer of sheds. "Just one shed today Jimmy? Ok...see you tomorrow." And yes, I realize I took a picture on a random street in Niagara Falls and did not even include a picture of the Falls. You'll get to see a whole lot of that tomorrow. Today, it's just some neon paired with turquoise. I was really proud of this color combo that I came up with.

Look What I Got: Hard Earned Prabal Gurung

Dress: Prabal Gurung for Target | Shoes: Dolce Vita via Marshalls (similar) |

Necklace: J. Crew Factory (worn, similar) | Sunnies: Betsey Johnson via Marshall's (worn, similar) | Bracelets: Groopdealz & C. Wonder (worn) |

Earrings & Ring: Nissa Jewelry (giveaway win from Lipgloss & Crayons)

Getting this dress was quite a journey. I trekked to two different Targets the weekend the collection debuted. However, unbeknownst to me, not all stores had the full collection and it was sold out online. I thought all was lost...since there was no way I was paying above retail on eBay. Then, by chance, I saw Carly of Lipgloss and Crayons wearing the dress. (OK, not by chance...I read her blog everyday). I commented that I loved the dress and couldn't find it. Well, Carly replied that she had an extra dress that she ordered online....IN MY SIZE! It was fate. Carly and I did a quick Paypal transaction and the dress was in the mail. However, UPS then held my package hostage. It took several angry phone calls with UPS call center folks, but the Scot was finally able to rescue my dress from the depths of a sketchy UPS facility. And then immediately after, I won Carly's giveaway for some fabulous earrings and a ring. With all my treats from Carly, I was able to duplicate her outfit exactly.....I promise I am not creepy.

And now it's time for the link up.
