Love and Happiness: attending a wedding.
On Saturday, I got to go to a wedding! I felt so honored to have been invited. I love getting dressed up, and planning outfits (especially for fancier occasions). Once I found something to wear and had it all planned (and even mapped) out with jewelry to match, I was just over excited and anxious to get ready. I started to get ready wayyy too early. But, I knew I wanted to snap a few pictures before I left.
I love the dress, but the sizes didn’t cooperate with my body as much as I would have liked. The 12 was reallllly tight in the hips and butt. Sitting down would have been an issue. things may have ripped :/ So I tried the 14. The 14 fit great in the hips and butt, however, I apparently do not have the boobs of a size 14, and the top could have fit another cup size or 2. It was pretty loose and my bra popped out a 2 times in back 
but, when it did 2 super nice ladies (one being the bride) came to my rescue and discretely tucked it back in real quick. THANK YOU!
Dress: H&M
Pumps: Forever 21
Clutch: It’s not a pillow. Made by me. I bought the fabric as a remnant from Joann Fabrics. It felt like a nice sturdy canvas, perfect for a bag, I LOVED the color. As I started constructing the bag, I realized it was straight up outdoor upholstery fabric. CRAP! Oh well, I kept with it. 2 people asked if it was a pillow. Whatev. I still like it.
The little things:
Antiqued gold multi chain necklace: Forever 21
Amber Heart charm necklace: A gift my brother gave to my Mother.
Ring: My Mother’s
This is a ring she had made from her wedding ring and a sapphire anniversary ring from my Father. After my parents separated, she had them melted down and made into something a little more wearable, I guess. It is missing one sapphire, which I hope to replace someday.
Saturday was the first time I ever really wore the ring. I’ve put it on a few times, but never really wore it out of the house. I plan to more. It’s a really rad ring, and fits me perfectly. My and my Mother had matching man looking hands. I was pretty excited to top my outfit off with a few of my Mother’s special pieces. She loved to dress up just as much, if not more, than I do!
You know you want to. Give it a try.
For Fall, I am LOVING and wanting to wear

Really, into these blogs, I’ve discovered recently.
Just a FUN blog. Lot’s of outfit posts, which I LOVE! AND, it’s done by 2 friends (one in NY, one in Philly) so you get double the outfit posts. Such a great idea. Love these girls now. Go now, http://www.crowded-closet.com/
Discovered Rebecca from snooping the Wardrobe Remix group at Flickr.com. I just think shes so elegant looking. and I love her style. Url: http://no48.blogspot.com/
Another I found through the wardrobe Remix group. Maria is from Finland, and if you have Google Chrome it will translate her Finnish blog for you. If not, she even has an english language blog! Url: http://www.heijastuspinta.com/ or the original Finnish blog: http://www.heijastuspinta.fi/
On this note, I was thinking of taking my blog into a fashion, style, diy, sewing direction soley, rather than it being a bunch of random thoughts or thing I want. And it’s not because I think I have great style, it’s because I do have a lot of great clothes and I’m thinking it will motivate me to wear them more rather than worry about ruining them and leaving them safely in my closet. I do have quite a collection of jeans, and shoes, and so on. And, I just feel inspired to do so. So,I may give this a try. I may fail, and want to talk about other random shit. BUT, it is my blog and I can do that.
Please, don’t judge too much.
like list spring 2010 edition.
A little update up on this post from September 2009: like list
.Big Curls. I Love the BIG curls on shorter hair! Lady Gaga wears it so well, too. I’m working on it. Not doing very well, so far.
.mint nail polish. I just love it. It’s great for spring, and actually goes with more than I would have thought I have a darker mint shade only, I’m on the hunt for a lighter one, like this…
. The Sun. I’m not a fan of rain unless I’m inside with the heat on or a fireplace going. I love this time of year when it starts getting warmer, and the days last longer. It feels so good.
.Andrew Vanwyngarden. I may not get to see him live. (DAMN you jerks buying up all the MGMT tickets and selling them on craigslist for too much money.) But, lucky for me the internet is filled with photos. I know it’s sad, but I’ve reverted to my 14 year old self thanks to this guy. Just LOOK at him! The hair! the arms…, those lips, his eyes (if you could see them). Okay, I’m done.
. BodyStep. I’ve really only just started taking it, and I have some learning to do to. The steps aren’t very easy at all. BUT, it is so much fun. The 2 women who teach on Tuesday nights are great, and look amazing. I’m hoping to catch up.
. My gym in general. I’m glad I went back. I’m loving it. I miss Dave Dubrow in spin class, but it’s still fun. And I haven’t even ventured upstairs yet. Can’t wait to start kickboxing again!
.xmind. Mario showed me this great mind mapping software. We sat down and busted some shit out on it last Friday. I can’t explain how much it’s just helped me feel more organized when it comes to my thoughts and ideas right now. My mind had been storing all these thoughts since I got some bad news at work. I was able to get everything out of my head and out onto something I can go back and look at.
