Fierce

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley looks amazingly fierce in this ensemble while promoting the upcoming Transformers: Dark of the Moon. Love the look of a good pair of tailored, bell-bottom dress pants.

Feeling Crafty

While on the hunt for everything wedding, I kept thinking that I need to find a great hairpiece for my bridesmaids. I want a red rose with some sort of feathers, but this seems to be a difficult find. After going to several different department stores and searching online I finally just did a quick search on YouTube and decided that I am going to make them myself.

Seems easy and I even went to Hobby Lobby and bought the materials needed for only 11 bucks. I'll attempt to create these hair pieces this weekend if I have time and post pics soon afterwards to show my effort.

Love Songs

I Can't Wait - Runner Runner

Heard this song on the way back from lunch and the lyrics caught my attention. The song is about a man expressing his love for his fiancee and how much he can't wait to be married to her. Tugs on the heart strings especially when he mentions all the things he loves about her. Swoon.

Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo have long since been one of my favorite celebrity couples. I have been anxiously waiting for the day they announced their engagement and was happy when it happened around the time I myself got engaged. This couple seems so made for each other and People recently posted pictures from their wedding shower. They are a gorgeous match and can't wait to see the wedding pictures! 

Wedding Updates

I've been busy as you can tell from the lack of posts, but in a good way. Our invitations are printing tomorrow and the calligrapher (aka: my girlfriend) has already begun addressing the envelopes. Everything is moving smoothly and anticipate sending out by end of week depending on when I can sit down and complete. Once this huge task is done I can rest a little or at least enjoy the eventful weekends we continue to have.

This past weekend my best friend and I decided on the bridesmaids dresses after a long search. I am truly happy with this decision because it is what I envisioned but could not find and thought I would have to settle. My last resort was a David's Bridal gown and it made my stomach hurt just going into that place, but thankfully we found the dress and for a steal on the clearance rack!

This weekend is my 10 year reunion (joy) and my fiance's cousin is coming down from the Dallas area to take our engagement photos. I have no idea what to do about wardrobe and/or what kind of shots we should take. Struggling for examples because I don't want to do the norm. She's seems pretty creative, so I am up for anything.

Then next weekend, my parents are hosting a family shower at one of our favorite restaurants in my hometown. So glad we decided not to have it at my parents house. My father recently tore his ACL and is having surgery this week, so hopefully he will be well enough to enjoy himself.

Other than that we're still busy and slowly looking for our first home in the Houston area. Not going to stress over it much and might just wait until after the wedding to prevent rushing into something. Meanwhile, the boxes of presents are stacking up at my parents house...

Love it

In love with this amazing look that Janet Jackson wore to Cannes this past weekend. I automatically love a gown with pockets, but the colors are beautiful and the material looks so comfy and cool.

InStyle's Best Wedding Dresses

InStyle

InStyle has a list of their 50 Favorite Celebrity Wedding Dresses of All Time. Most of my recent choices are on the list. Looking at these images makes me want my dress even more. It still has not come in yet even though it was promised last month. I don't know if I should be worried or if I should give it until June and then ring the alarm. I'll be patient.

Wow. Marie Osmond recently re-married her first husband in Las Vegas. For her nuptuals, she wore the original gown that she found 5 days before boxed away in her garage . It's amazing that she still fits into it and that it's in such good condition after nearly 25 years. Congrats!
