New dress. Need Advice.

Since my boyfriend's family is having a birthday party tonight, I decided today would be a good day to wear my new dress (just like this one, by Single Dress). I love it, because it is so dressy and chic, and somehow reminds me of Victoria Beckham.

Yet, there is one small problem; as you can tell from the picture the belt is partly golden. My favorite purse is my Chanel 2.55, with silver details, which kind of means I won't be able to wear the two together. I can remove the belt itself, but then you can spot the little strings/loops that are meant to keep the belt in place -luckily the belt stays put even if I don't put it through the holes so I could just cut the strings off and wear the golden belt when I do feel like it, but I'm scared I will ruin the dress if I do. Anyone got any tips on how I should best remove/cut those little strings?

My birthday parties were fun, yet small and simple since the exams are coming up again. Yes, I'm back inside so I won't be able to enjoy the sun -not that I sunbathe or anything, as you can tell. So I love looking back at these pictures of last weekend, when my sister and I passed some time outside in our neighborhood.

And as a birthday gift, Natalie of Latanie Design made a fun design for Shark Attack! If you love supercute images, you definitely should check out the blog. Plus she hand makes fun earrings and pendants for necklaces, which she sells online... By the way, today is her birthday: Congratulations, Miss!
