So I have a story for you. The worst part of my current sickness is the fact that I can't breathe out of my nose. So my mouth is pretty much half open all day just so I can breathe. (and yes, this causes instant dry-mouth and is not very attractive... what can I do?) So come dinner time, I'm trying to eat and am struggling with a hold-your-breath, chew with your mouth closed, swallow, then gasp-for-air technique so that I at least look somewhat lady-like and don't show the world what I'm eating with my mouth open. As if this wasn't awkward enough, the bf decides to tell me something funny and here I am laughing, chewing, and breathing at the same time. OMG. It took all of my willpower to keep my food in my mouth. Thank goodness I didn't have much food in my mouth and managed to quickly swallow it first before breathing and then laughing out loud. But wow, I was this close to losing it. Moral of the story, don't multitask when eating. You might just end up with food bits on the floor.
Ok, I think I've shared too much information already. Hope you guys are having a lovely hump day!
P.S. I am organizing a blogger meetup for DFW gals on Saturday, Feb 26! I've gotten lots of positive responses so far and have a list of current attendees listed in this post. Please sign up or email me if you're interested! :)

Too funny Kileen, too funny. Some thing similar happened to me which prompted a rule that the bf is not aloud to make me laugh while I am chewing or drinking anything.
The bright tights for a better feeling you are a great finish to this outfit.
this color combo is wonderful - i love it!
Lovely outfit!

I really like your face shot in this post. Your makeup looks very very pretty. Have you considered branching out and sharing some makeup tips? -nudge-
Hope you get better!
Glad to hear your feeling a bit better, at least :) Those tights are the perfect contrasting color for that dress...I keep seeing so many people look great in colored tights, but I dont think I can pull it off haha!
@aki! oh why thank you!! i've been thinking about including more makeup in my blog for awhile and will definitely do some posts now! :)
@Tara i was a little wary of wearing these brightly colored tights too, but you can definitely pull it off! you wear bright colors so well!
This may be my favorite outfit I have seen you in Kileen, great colors!
You are too funny Kileen! I love the close up of you face! Very pretty!!
I could never pull of this outfit but you look awesome in it!

I'm glad you're feeling better and hope your nose clears up soon too! Love the blue paired with the yellow - once again your color combos just floor me :)
What a great deal on that fabulous shirtdress! Yay! And I love the tights...they look perfect paired with the blue of your dress.
Your post title roped me in....I heart Peter Pan! ;)
Hi Kileen,
I LOVE your new blog layout,,, it looks very professional, Your style is very intense so is your blog :D
I was wondering what kind of camera you use to take such gorgeous pictures, which lovely posted in your blog,
I am planning to buy a new camera but I would rather ask people opinions first before I decide to buy one

I love the blue, and yellow. Feel better soon.

@Anonymous i use a Canon Rebel XSi that my boyfriend purchased about 3 years ago. the lens is a Canon 50mm f1.8. i highly recommend you invest in the lens as the default Canon lens that it comes with is horrible.
if you have a little bit more money to spend, i actually recommend the new Canon T2i that came out. it takes video too and is better in every way! :)
Haha your little story made me laugh out loud. Hope you get better girl!
Kiss

i love these booties.
i almost had a moment like yours, but i had a full mouth. i had to walk away from the table. glad you swallowed and then laugh or else whoever was sitting near/across from you would be wearing your food. gross. haha
Just Better Together
Ack. I HATE it when I can't breath and eat at the same time. It's the WORST.
And I love the closeup pic of you (the one with your BLING- dang girl!). So pretty!!
