Jimmy Choo & Goo Goo

This weekend we bought tickets to see the Goo Goo Dolls in Peoria! Woohoo! It's been at least 2 or 3 years since I've last seen them (this will by my 4th Goo Goo Dolls concert). I used to be a concert fanatic, but haven't been on top of that scene recently. (Did I mention my tickets are 15th row in the theater..ah! so excited!)

I also have U2 tickets (also thanks to my hubby) for July. That will be my 3rd U2 concert - - see told you I love my concerts.

And I found the perfect rock star shoes for the occasion.

"And I'd give up forever to touch you
Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be..."

Maybe that's a lot to say about a shoe. Haha.

Joffrey does Primetime

A major reality show is gearing up to be shot right here. Chicago's internationally renowned Joffrey Ballet will be the focus of an unscripted TV series, tentatively titled ''First Position.''

Can't wait! I love, love 'So You Think You Can Dance' and hope this is just as good. I know 'Dancing with the Stars' started today, but I've never gotten in to that show.

Still trying to figure out how to get back to dance here in Peoria. There is a Swing dance night on April 10...now just need to figure out how to talk Robert into that one!

Spring Forward

While I have to agree that when the time changes (especially losing an hour) I am always a little 'off' that following week. HOWEVER, it is awesome to see the sun when I leave work and even when I head out for the night.

In the spirit of spring and the supposed-60 degree, sunny weather in Peoria tomorrow (!!!) here's a spring look I pulled together.

More Arden B...

A New Pair

Today, I put on my running shoes. No, I haven't gotten 'a new pair' of running shoes, but I'll need to for my first run - - Pair Up for Health! This isn't a normal 5K, it's actually a trail race. The first of its kind in the Peoria-area and its being put on by the Junior League of Peoria.

I registered for the race today (race is Saturday, June 12 at Wildlife Prairie Park).  So..now I'm committed, which means I need to get to the next step, training. I figured I need to get myself back into shape as I've recently gotten too 'lax, plus, at the same time I get to support the JLP!

If you're interested in learning more about the race, check out www.pairupforhealth.com. Register soon to get the pre-registration fee.

love the dresses, but what about the Shoes?

I'm currently multi-tasking with the Oscar red carpet show on in the background. With my love for fashion, this is one of the best parts of the show...

but I always wonder 'what about the shoes?' Maybe with so much fabric the shoes are mostly simple, but for me I think I would make that my statement.

Shoes fit for the Oscar Red Carpet

The Replacements

Ever since Bella ate my favorite pair of shoes (look at that guilty face!) I've been trying to find some new pewter shoes. While still no luck finding the right replacement shoes for the workplace, here are some awesome shoes I found in the meantime!

Love these...

Hubbard Street Dance Tickets

Great deal for all of you in Chicago. Wish I was going to be around the weekend of March 20th. I'm missing so much those couple of days including the first Hubbard Street Dance show of 2010.

Get your tickets today - you won't regret it!
