Black Dresses: Black Lace Dress

On the hunt for the best Black Dresses? This Black Lace Dress is the perfect piece to wear over and over again for date nights or weddings!

I love this black lace dress, it's perfect for date nights!Does anyone else have Date Night on the brain? Maybe it's the fact that Valentine's Day is on the horizon.  Maybe it's that my mom came to visit, so we actually got to go on a date night (even thought it was a quick one).  Either way, I'm all about getting dolled up and getting OUT OF THE HOUSE once in awhile.  Plus the whole actually being able to make conversation thing? Great for reminding us why we married our spouses in the first place (ha)!  We made a commitment to actually go on regular dates this year, and so far…..I'm proud to say, we've kept it.  Lydia's school even offers parents night out options, and after three years (I know, I know long overdue)…..we finally signed up for one.

So here we go.  We've got (wait for it)……..three date nights on the horizon.  I'm so proud!  While most of them will be casual happy hours or dinners, we are doing a LEGIT fancy Valentine's Day family date.  Yup, all three of us will be going out to a fancy dinner together.  Cutest thing, Lydia keeps asking if my husband will be bringing her flowers too.  So I've been on the search for a killer dress, and this black lace dress? Is PERFECT for Valentine's Day (or any date day)…..plus it's a great staple to keep in my closet.  Lydia even wants to find a matching black lace dress to wear for our big night out!

I love this black lace dress, it's the perfect date night outfit!

Black Dresses: Black Lace Dress

Remember this dress? It came in my Trunk Club delivery this month, and you guys went crazy for it.  It's under $150, fits like a glove and is super flattering for a pear shape body.  It's also a classic piece that I'll be able to wear for years to come.  I feel like I can dress it up with heels and great earrings, or dress it down slightly with a cardigan and flats.

This is actually the start of a larger series……I'm launching a series on the BEST black dresses for a pear shape body.  Black dresses are SUCH a staple item, and an important piece to have in our closets.  From date nights to weddings to family reunions, having a great staple piece like this will help you extend your wardrobe.  By switching shoes, jewelry, adding a wrap or cardigan……you can wear black dresses over and over again.

Have you ever attended a luau? This was the first Have you ever attended a luau?This was the first I’ve EVER attended (fun fact, when we came to Aulani 5 years ago we were supposed to and it was rained out). The night before on this trip, we had some storms and I thought….oh no, round 2? But……the Hawaiian sun did it’s job and the weather for this was PERFECT. To be honest, this was not cheap.  I was a little apprehensive about whether I would feel it was worth the money but…..WOW was it ever.  The food was amazing, there were really fun activities for kids at the beginning and the cultural performances were phenomenal.  All three of us (including not wanting to spend even more $$$ vacation Robbie) left raving about the experience. Aulani wins for us so far on this trip that I’m so glad I booked in advance (highly suggest doing this as far out from your trip dates as you can)- the luau (try night 2 or 3 of your trip so you’ve had time to adjust to the time change)- Aunty’s Beach House (this is still at limited capacity so you DO need to book in advance, I booked a session for days 2, day 3, and day 4 and we’ve enjoyed having a bit of time each day)- character dining and prix fix dinner at Makahiki (we are one big meal each vacation day people, so DON’T book these the same day, I’d do character breakfast early on your first full day….you’ll wake up early with the time change and the dinner on whichever night you AREN’T doing the luau)Already dreaming of booking another trip here.

We LOVED the character breakfast (so many unique local food offerings) and the Disney Team treated us to the prix fix dinner our first night here….I can’t even begin to explain what a lovely experience it was.  Killer cocktails, a GREAT kids’ menu and I had the best Ahi of my life.Now swipe all the way to end for an appearance from Vacation Robbie.  We love to see it.And place your votes…..pick ONE treat.
Five years ago. This exact place. Robbie had jus Five years ago.  This exact place.  Robbie had just finished two years of grad school.  And it had been a long, tough two years.  That year involved one major teacher strike in my district, many many many jobs and gigs for both of us, minimal time off together, a whole lot of unknowns and a whole lot of stress.The Disney and Aulani team probably had no idea that they were giving us the gift of much needed peaceful time together when they invited us on a trip to this magical place.  A trip that….to be honest, was beyond our means at the time.  We cherished every moment. A lot has happened since then.  A move, buying a house, seeing those years of hard work pay off.  And now….we did it.  We’re back.  Lazy river here we come. TLDR? If you’re in the thick of it, I see you.  We’ve been there. Family, Welcome Home……we did it.  Aulani for the week.
Now, if I’m being totally honest…..this pulled Now, if I’m being totally honest…..this pulled muscle? I should have known better.  When training for my race, I didn’t stretch or warm up enough most days and….here we are.Lesson learned.  I’m 4 weeks post race (do not recommend running a 10k on a pulled muscle) and I’m……almost better.  I’m learning to stretch and walk and to take better care of myself so that I can start running again REALLY soon (we’re almost there I think).For now? I’m doing recovery walks and trying to strengthen my leg.  And trying to make sure I get enough protein.  When I talked about Built Bars on my stories, a LOTTTTT of you raced about their Puffs.  Yup, I get it.  They’re AMAZING.  I’ve been bringing them along on my walks (and gluten free friends….they have some great options for us).Have you ever pulled a muscle? What was recovery like for you?#youGOTTAtrythis #BUILTProtein #BUILT #BUILTbar partner
💕Double Tap when you see who we found at the zo 💕Double Tap when you see who we found at the zoo (and swipe to the end for a close up)⠀⠀🌴Coming to San Diego for Spring Break or a Summer Vacation?⠀⠀📍Let’s talk San Diego Zoo (and yes, I got off a plane yesterday, picked up Lydia and we spent the afternoon at the zoo…..it was LOVELY).⠀⠀A few things to help you plan visits to San Diego and the Zoo:⠀1️⃣ the San Diego Zoo and Safari Park are NOT close together.  The Zoo is close to downtown, the Safari Park is about 25 miles north.  I’d suggest one day at each.  They’re totally unique and both worth a visit.  The Safari Park is smaller, but has REALLY unique exhibits (Walkabout Australia is my favorite).⠀2️⃣ both have some really fun and unique dining experiences that you can reserve in advance: Albert’s at the Zoo is a FANCY and fun sit down option, and The Watering Hole at Kijamii Overlook at the Safari Park is great for happy hour or a fun lunch ⠀3️⃣ there are great kids play areas at both locations, the Wildlife Explorers Base Camp area at the San Diego Zoo is brand new and absolutely amazing⠀⠀✨ Now, a bonus tip.  Undercover Tourist now has NATIONWIDE savings on over 500 attractions in 50 cities and up to 25% on tickets for theme parks, zoo, museums, aquariums, city tours, water parks, and movie tickets. And the deals they have for San Diego?  AMAZING (I’m sharing details in my stories).⠀⠀@themeparkfrog #UncoverSavingsNationwide #ad
