Giddy.

image via
The Gaynor Minden lunch was a success!  Thank you for all your fashion advice.  I chose a turquoise a line dress with a black shrug and nude heels.  Fun color yet conservative cut.  I also scored a free pair of Gaynor Minden pointe shoes, which is a big deal considering how much they cost (around $100 cough cough.

So happy you had a great time, Tiffany! Pointe shoes always made me giddy as a kid - I immediately envisioned myself as a flying ballerina... These days it's more chocolate brownies.

stephanie and sean said...

excellent list :) i'm so glad that your lunch was a success and that you felt as lovely as ever! i'd love to see a picture of you in that stunning dress!

The Zhush said...

The shoes are gorgeous...and I love that list! xx

Brandi said...

I'd like to amend your "cake stands" with the phrase "with a cake or pie or other delicious treat on top". Glee made me giddy last night. Seeing my boyfriend after weeks of being away TOTALLY makes me giddy too, as does seeing friends.

I have to agree with you on everything even the pointe shoes -- and I'm not even a ballet dancer but htey're just so pretty :)
So glad you had a great lunch!!

OneCraftyFox said...

Mmmm, macaroons! Those shoes are divine, so happy you scored a pair... and for free :)

I like your choice of outfit too, I'll bet you looked gorgeous and professional.

I am having an interactive "Style Me Pretty" blog giveaway... I would love it if you joined!

Traveling makes me giddy and crepes... and other sweet treats but mostly seeing family ;)

Jude said...

So glad the lunch went well (and hooray for free shoes :)) I love your list, especially the fields of wildflowers and the cake stands!

Lillian Chang said...

YAY, Tiffany!!! So happy that the lunch went so well!! And a new pair of elegant pointes. New shoes make me giddy too :) So does the ocean, books, peach tulips, and a fine meal :)

I have always adored Pointe Shoes myself. Due to the fact that they are so prevalent in "The Nutcracker," I have always associated them with Christmas.

What makes me giddy? Dandelions. Sparkles. Balloons. Coffee. Boots. Rainy days. Mysteries. Thanksgiving... :)

Krysten @ After 'I Do' said...

You make me wish I could dance!

Wild and Precious said...

Connie @ SogniESorrisi said...

One thing that makes me giddy is new makeup in fresh packaging.

Bridget said...

Kristin said...

Mighty Burns said...

heather yalin said...

yay for the luncheon success + the new pointe shoes! i think you love for pointe shoes makes me as giddy as the shoes themselves! wild flowers is definitely a good one too. i'd add hot chocolate (or coffee or wine) with girlfriends, snuggles with the honey and sunshine! (because i am sun-starved)

drollgirl said...

yay for scoring those shoes!

thelayeredpancake said...

oh they are so beautiful. i wish i was a ballerina.

Brandi said...

Oh my golly. How did I miss that this morning? My eyes must have still been foggy. Kitchens do make me giddy as to shelves and shelves of books. And everything I mentioned before too when I was writing in my zombie, can't-read-small-text morning state.

Whimsy Being said...

Happy to hear your lunch was a success! What's making me giddy right now is coffee lol. Is that bad? I'm working a 12 hour day today and coffee on my lunch break is just the thing I need to get me through the phase two of the day!

Caitlin said...

Pointe shoes. I am dying to get to wear some! Work work work! That and Fall. I have been in such a giddy mood. I can't wait to go to apple hill and bake so much my house smells delicious and over powering the yuck hallway smells in my building.

Indie.Tea said...

Giddy...nothing at moment. I am just way too busy studying :( And nervous and scared to boot.
But normally, cupcakes and raspberries and sencha and darjeeling and my cats.
p.s. Congrats on winning those lovely slippers.

Jessi said...

You are adorable! And your dress sounds lovely :) I had faith you'd pick something perfect!

Jessica said...

This post makes me wish I were a dancer! Pointe shoes are gorgeous.

Punctuation Mark said...

i have to say that the rain these days make me happy because I love the sound of it! love the ballet shoes too!!!

la petite coquine said...

Your list made me giddy! And big score on the pointe shoes! Glad to hear the lunch outfit came together-it sounds perfect!

Collins said...

YOUR BLOG makes me giddy! :) and yes, $100 a pop is expensive when they don't last long at all! my left shoe used to break after one class and then i would have to switch them. :)

Jammer said...

What makes me giddy? How about whatever cake is on that cake stand! :D

Leigh Viner said...

I am so glad that the lunch went well :) And congrats on the pointe shoes :)

What makes me giddy? One of the things is well yes a new pair of shoes lol.

Dawn said...

I`d have to go with the cake stand:)
And I`d also say that finishing my first triathlon this summer was up there too:))

Happy day to you!

Jude said...

P.S. Just wanted to stop by again and let you know I gave you a blog award. :)

BALLET NEWS said...

so pleased you enjoyed the lunch !


How do you find the shoes ? I saw a pair close up for the first time today and they do feel very different....

shari @ little blue deer said...

That's exciting! I couldn't agree with you more, I remember my first pair of pointe shoes, I think they were Freeds, and I LOVED them, wanted to wear them constantly! Too cute! Sometimes my kitties make me giddy, sometimes I look at them and I just can't stand it! XX!!!

Coté Provence said...

I love pointe. In France, I did Ballet and was about to move up to pointe but I stopped .... what a shame!
Love your post!
Thanks so much for your sweet comment!

xoxo

Mystery, poetry, lit quotes, chocolate, kisses, all make me giddy.
