My friend Brianne is pretty awesome

First things first.... Our RSVPs are in!  And we got some pretty fantastic sketches.  Here is one by one of my amazing, fantastic, lovely friends Brianne.  She also blogged about it here , which makes me feel special.

The shoe search comes to a wonderful end

I'm definitely an accessory lady.  Hands down!  Maybe that's why I had such a hard time finding the perfect shoe!  I have tried on more shoes than I can count!  I am single handedly keeping Zappos in business!
Some contenders included these

But, I didn't like that they were Ivory and not a color.  also they weren't that comfortable on my ankle.

So then I tried these...

And let me tell you... these are really amazing in person.  So comfortable.  Makes your legs look great.  But they aren't the right purple.  And as much as I think that ball of joy on the front is cool, I think it might get in the way of my dress.  So THEN....

 I started thinking about how cool it would be to do a silvery gray shoe.  Enter inspiration photooooo NOW

So after finding out that these precious shoes were custom made, I was beginning to lose hope!  Then my amazing bridesmaid Dina checked on Zappos AGAIIIIIN.  And low and behold, Badgley Mischka came out with new shoes!  Here is the final shoe choice!

 
In the mist of all this love of accessories business I came across these!  Should I put these heart stoppers on the bottom?  Cute right?  Cheesy?  A little, but that's me!

Thoughts??

Ummmm My best friend will be married this time next week!

Big news folks!  This gorgeous lady will be walking down the aisle to marry that handsome man in less than a week!  I am trying to contain the excitement but it's not working!!!!!

I am heading up to good ol Waltham, MA to get even more excited about the future nuptials of these fab folks.  Love to you both!  Let's get this party started Riiiiiiiight!

I have an incredible Fiance

Which makes me one lucky lady.  To all of my friends out there that are with someone that doesn't make you happy.  Don't waste your time.  I PROMISE there is something better out there.  Happy Birthday to the man that makes me believe in true love.

Weirdly obsessed with honeymoon attire

Here is the deal.  My brain works like this:

"You are going on a honeymoon therefore you must wear nautical items."

Now, I know you are probably thinking "Your brain is looney!" but I really do think there is an explanation.  When I think honeymoon, I think of a few things.  I think cruise wear, navy and white, straw hat, big sunglasses, sophisticated dresses and lots of stripes.  Nautical stripes.  I know it is seriously weird and doesn't really explain anything.  Especially because I have never been on a cruise, and I am not going on one for my honeymoon.
Also, I had no idea (when I started planning a wedding) what I wanted to wear for it.  But, I know exactly what I want to wear for my honeymoon.  That is so bizarre!!!
This has recently become a problem when I am shopping.  For anything... really doesn't matter.  Could be pillow cases or a dress either way I walk right by what I am supposed to be buying and head right to the white linen blazer and say "This would be great for my honeymoon!"  I don't buy it though, I just like to admire it's honeymoon capabilities and dream about being in Italy.
Enough about my crazy, rambling, honeymoon brain and now onto some examples!

These earrings are pretty awesome and scream nautical!  I know... I know.. I've lost my mind.  But aren't they cute!  I found them on http://www.oldsoulnewheart.com/product/sailing-beauty 

Hi cute striped dress with great sailing possiblities!  I believe my wonderful friend Sarah has this dress... I wonder if she wore it on her honeymoon...

It was found here : http://spoolno72.com/item_65/MacIntosh-Dress.html 

Look how much fun she is having on her honeymoon!

I digress... this could go on for hours.  But I will say it is pretty fun to think about how relaxed I will be in 2 months whether I am wearing navy and white or not!

Walking all over the city

Literally...
