Hello there! So...it's 16 days until my wedding! And I leave for my bachelorette party on Saturday morning! I'm so very excited for the bachelorette party. We're getting an early start, leaving around 8:30 a.m. My one friend is picking me up here, my other friend is following us there, and my sister is meeting us there. (She's coming from Connecticut.) We are going to Atlantic City, staying for one night. The weather is supposed to be gorgeous down there this weekend! High of 72 on Saturday, low of 63, and sunny, with a 0% chance of rain. Sounds perfect to me!
Tomorrow I'm leaving work an hour early to meet Bob and his brother, so that we can get our wedding license!! And last night, I picked up my wedding dress from the shop. I tried it on at the shop again, and the alterations were great.
In the picture below I'm wearing a Pin Up Girl Clothing dress. I ADORE the coral colour of it! It's so lovely. I love coral as it is, but I think this is just the perfect shade of it. This dress is super tight in the bust, and just zips. The waist fits great though, which is rare for me.

Hello there! I keep thinking about this upcoming three day weekend! Sunday Bob and I headed to the mall so we can look at wedding rings, I can look for bras, and also possibly shoes for my wedding! I have a pair of heels arriving this week as possible wedding shoes. Hopefully I like them.
I made my hair appointment today for the day of the wedding. It's at eight a.m., nice and early ha. It's great because it's literally two minutes from where I live. I'll be going there for a trial run in about a month or so. I have to wait for my mom to be done making my veil, before I can go in for it. I also have to decide if I want to keep growing my highlights out, or make an appointment a little bit before the wedding to get blonde highlights. Decisions, decisions! I had nooo idea how many decisions were involved in planning a wedding!
I've been talking about the bachelorette party the past couple days with the bridesmaids. We decided to go Saturday, June 7th to Atlantic City, and stay overnight. I'm excited already!! I told them I wanted to go to AC, so we can hang out at the beach bars almost the whole time. I've only been to the beach bars there once, but I LOVED it. It's sooo nice to be right on the beach! And the temperatures will probably be perfect then! I went to the beach bars there when I went for a bachelorette party a year and a half ago. We went at the beginning of July. It was a lot of fun, there was music playing, and a decent amount of people. They also made this amazing drink at one of the bars! It was orange flavored, really sweet tasting.
I can't believe my wedding is just over five months away!
In the pictures below I'm wearing one of my favourite shirts. I've had it for two years now. I love the pattern and the colours in it. I'm also wearing my new bracelet that came two weeks ago. It's my favourite bracelet now. Since the colours are pastel shades, it definitely doesn't match with everything in my wardrobe. I thought it went with my shirt enough to wear it. The shade of light blue in the bracelet and the shirt match almost perfectly, as well as the shades of green in both.

Hello there! Tonight I went to Panera with some friends that I worked with at my previous job. It was nice to see them. There's one woman in particular who I'm the closest with of the group, and it was really nice to get to talk to her in person. I see her once a month or month and a half usually; she's pretty busy. She has such great energy, and is really funny and outgoing, she puts me in a good mood just being around her. It's just easier being friends with women older than me (in general.) For the most part they are more mature and responsible than women my own age, and know how to be a better friend. Of course this isn't true of all older women!
In the pictures below I'm again wearing my new fruit flats! I never want to take them off, they're just so darn perfect. If they matched with more of my outfits, I'd wear them even more! And I never get tired of wearing this pie print dress, it's also perfection.

Hello there! I actually didn't buy any clothes/accessories at the mall yesterday. But, I got a Christmas Hello Kitty beanie baby, and an ice cream Christmas ornament. (There are pictures below of those two.)
Today my only plans are to work out, return shoes to Marshall's, go to Kohl's, and my mom is stopping by for a bit in the early afternoon. Marshall's is a two minute drive away, so it's very convenient to go there! Bob and I don't usally do much at all on Sundays.
In the pictures below I'm wearing a dress I've worn on the blog before. It's definitely one of my favourites! I really love the shape of it, and of course the pie print. I like pairing it with red accents, like the belt and shoes. I picked up this navy cropped sweater at Marshall's last night, for only $17! I have been looking everywhere for cropped cardigans! They have been very elusive. In my opinion, they look better with dresses than the regular full length cardigans.

Hello there! I'm not doing too much today. I'm returning something to Target, working out, and watching some "Six Feet Under." Bob and I are hopefully going to the movies later, to see "Gravity." He slept over his parent's house last night, and won't be home until the afternoon sometime.
I'm very grateful that we're still having great weather! Most of the time lately it's been very sunny and warm! I'm trying to savor it as much as possible.
In the pictures below I'm wearing the most comfy flats! I got these for Christmas last year. They're Jessica Simpson brand. I love the colour combo of pink, orange, and red. I really love the print on this shirt. It reminds me of stained glass. I love wearing my new lollipop ring, cupcake ring, donut ring, and donut earrings! They're so cute, and brighten up any look.

Hello there! The weather is perfect today! It's very sunny and warm, perfect temperature. It doesn't feel humid, either. I really wish the weather could always be like this!
Today I cleaned the apartment, did laundry, worked out, and watched some TV. My friend is coming over in a little while.
It's 9 months until our wedding! I feel so much better since I have made all of the major decisions for the wedding. We didn't order the invitations yet, but I picked out really cute ones, on Zazzle.com. They are quite colourful, of course! I'm really enjoying picking out little touches of colour. I'm so glad I can incorporate my love of rainbows and colour into the wedding!
In
the pictures below I'm wearing one of my favourite dresses. I basically
look like a walking rainbow, ha. It's the only maxi dress I own. This
outfit just picks up my spirits, and I just really like how I look in
it. And those are really the two things that I strive to have in my
outfits.

Hello
there! This weather has been so amazinggg! It's been really sunny and warm during the day, and getting quite cool at night.
Bob and I are going to eat dinner at Friendly's tonight. I
loveee their chicken fingers, honey mustard, & fries. That's what I
always order there. There's a Friendly's about a half mile from where we
live. But, Bob and I almost never eat out. I eat at Panera about every
other week, and I eat pizza for lunch on Fridays...but, other than that
we never really go to "real" restaurants. Bob is such a great cook as it
is, and we don't want to spend the money on going out to eat.
In
the pictures below I'm wearing my new dress from Modcloth! I had been
eyeing it for months, but always ended up ordering something else
instead. I really love the print and the bright colours, of course.
In the first picture below I'm wearing my pie print Modcloth dress, with my pie print apron from Marshall's. They are really the same exact print/colours.
At Target yesterday I bought two pairs of tights. I never liked wearing tights, they always felt uncomfortable to me. But, since I have so many dresses now that I love to wear, I figured I better get some tights, so I can wear the dresses in the cooler weather too. I bought a bright red pair, and a pinkish/purpleish pair.

Hello there! I
met with a florist today, and I'm also meeting with one tomorrow. The
one I met with today does it on her own, as a part-time, side job. She
doesn't work for a flower shop or anything. I saw her garden, which was
sooo gorgeous! I'm waiting for an email from her with prices though. She
didn't give me any price info while I was speaking to her. She did give me a flower arrangement though, which surprised me! It's pictured below.
In
the pictures below, I'm wearing a dress I've worn once before on my
blog. I'm wearing it with different jewelry and shoes though. I love
this colour! Such a perfect shade of orange. I wear this dress to work,
but I could also wear it out/to parties, etc. I got it from Marshall's
over a year ago; it's Calvin Klein. He makes such flattering dresses! I
have three Calvin Klein dresses now that I've scored at Marshall's.
The
purse in the pictures is new. It came today from Modcloth. I've been
looking for a bright yellow purse for some time now. I saw this months
ago on Modcloth, but didn't think it was worth the price for such a
small one. So, I scored it on the 70% off sale- for $18.99!
I bought the tin pictured below at Home Goods yesterday for $3.99. I love it! So cute and cheery. My mom and I both love cute tins, but she has A LOT more than I do! Ha.
