What Have I Been Up To?

So I have completely slacked on posting because, well, it took a back seat to the actual planning of the wedding. But today's a good day:

-We get married 1 month from today (almost to the hour)
-The bridesmaid dresses came in today
-My last fitting was today
-And my mother's dress is in as are all the tux measurements

So, basically, we all get to wear clothes at the wedding!

Sweet.

Too Much Even for Me

Now I like a good penguin as much as the next girl. Okay, quite a bit more than the next girl. And this is too much even for me! For only $500 those it can be yours.

Currently on sale at Macy's.

Outta Retirement

Well, we all know now what it takes for me to post again:


I have no words. Buy today at Shop Intuition.

Something Blue?

Here's a great idea for "something blue": embroidered label for your wedding dress (or a gentleman's suit) with you love's initials and your wedding date.



Apparently J Crew will do this for you, but the above example is from Etsy and only $26.

Super cute.

Things Are Getting Scary...

So you know how when people get, say, a dog and live with them long enough the owner and the pet start to look alike?

The Frenchie (aka fiance for you fancy types) and I got dressed in different rooms this morning. Here is what we each wore today:





Okay, maybe not an exact match, but still...

Another Dress Option

Here's one found by the Sister of the Bride on Lazaro Bride's site.

Of course, this is related to Jim Hjelm which I already love.

I Got My New Shoes On

So, I think it is necessary for me to get some kick ass shoes to go with my super kick ass dress.
And I'm thinking red. After all, our colors are red and yellow with the girls wearing either copper, gold or brown depending on what we find. So I'm imagining the bridesmaids in strappy red heels and me in something similar, only comfortable. I hope.

More Bridesmaids Dresses

I gotta keep the MOH happy, so here are some more beautiful dresses from Jim Hjelm:

Jim Hjelm Occasions

Possible bridesmaids dress:

From the Jim Hjelm Occasions collections. The above is shown in one of the colors I'm considering.
The fiance approves as it is "close to burnt orange". The question is, how will it go with red and yellow roses?

For the Bridesmaids

Among the small number of things I know about the wedding thus far involve the length of the bridesmaids dresses and the probable color.

I love the Sophia dress from J.Crew:

I actually own it in dark green and pretty much wear it to every party I can. If the come out with a bronze one we're in.


While we're on J.Crew, here is the first bridal gown I can actually picture myself in:

It's actually the same dress as above in a gown instead of knee length but I think it's just gorgeous. Not sure it's bridal enough but everything else I've seen just doesn't look like me.
