Lazy Sunday

worn on October 23rd, 2011

Boo and I originally had big plans for sunday. Plans to head into the city, visit the Sowa Market, explore, etc. But then we woke up…. and we were a bit too lazy for any of that. So instead, we kept it simple. We went out for a yummy yummy brunch, headed to the park for photos, and then spent the rest of the afternoon with our butts parked on the couch and a DVR full of shows. 

And I loved it.

Bright Lights, Big City

worn on October 17th, 2011

Unfortunately, this is the only other outfit shots from our time in NYC. We took one other set, but they didn’t turn out as good as I would like. Hopefully I’ll remember to re-create that outfit soon. Its unfortunate because I remixed the heck out of the few items I packed. 

But on to this outfit. After finding my dress the day before, we headed to Mood to find fabric to make my veil. I must say, its very me, and I’m just as excited about it as the dress! Hint - it maaaay involves polka dots and bows. Of course. 

p.s - I’ve taken outfit photos in public before. But in the middle of a busy NYC sidewalk? thats a first.

p.p.s - Thanks again seester for taking my photos!

Finding The Perfect Dress

worn on October 16th, 2011

This is what I wore on our first full day in NYC, which was also the day of my first (and turns out only!) bridal gown appointment. After trying on only six gowns at my first appointment, I decided on ‘the one’, and ended up canceling my other appointments. I was pretty impressed with myself - I really thought I would have to try on a lot more! For those of you that are married / getting married, how long did it take you to find your perfect dress?

(And then I snuck in a couple outfit photos in the salon. Obvs.)

p.s - thanks seester for taking my photos!

In My Life : NYC

Happy friday, everyone! I’m back from my trip to NYC for wedding dress shopping, and I thought I would share just a few snapshots of what we did:

(L) This is NOT my dress. I repeat: this is NOT my dress. No one is going to see that one until July ;). But it is one that I tried on. I was really digging the fabric texture and detail. Sorry, this as close as any of you are going to get to seeing my dress or any of the other ones I tried on. 

(R) I’m not just saying this because I’m a Daniel Radcliffe fan - How to Succeed in Business was absolutely brilliant. And I would recommend anyone see it (preferably before Dan’s run is over). 

(L) With my seester and momma out to dinner!

(R) A visit to Mood Fabrics (oh, how I missed them) to find fabric for my headpiece/veil.

(L) Ooooooooh, my favorite new york bagel with pumpkin cream cheese. I have dreams about this bagel, people. I cannot go to NYC without stopping to get one. Reminds me of my time at FIT :)

(R) A rainy train ride back to Boston.

That 70's Girl

Isn’t my headband fantastic? I know I just wore it in fridays post too, but I love it that much.  When I first won it, I originally considered saving it and actually wearing it on my wedding day. But I think I’m going to go with something more colorful. No matter! Now I can wear this pretty thing allll the time :)

Fire Burn and Cauldron Bubble

worn on October 9th, 2011

This weekend, Boo and I headed up to Salem for some haunted happenings. There were witch hats everywhere, yummy roasted cashews, and scary haunted houses (I spook easily). And, of course, the history! The witch trials really fascinate me. So my favorite parts of the trip were really the cemetery, the memorials, and the gorgeous buildings. I loved this area!

After Salem, we made our annual trip to the corn maze. Our favorite fall tradition! It happened to jump back up into the mid 80’s this past weekend, so we sweated our butts off under the hot sun while we got lost in the maze. But it was worth it! And so was the apple cider and donuts we treated ourselves to afterwards :)
