Hello there! Sooo happy the weekend is here! After
work yesterday I ran to a couple of stores. I returned a shirt, and needed to buy
thread, a zipper, and bias tape for the gingerbread house dress my mom
is working on for me! Bob and I stayed in last night, watched some TV and had a few drinks.
Today
my only plans are cleaning the apartment, doing laundry, working out,
making Funfetti cookies, and running to Target. I don't have any plans
tonight yet. Bob is going to his parent's house around 7, and brewing a
beer with his brother and maybe a friend.
In the pictures below I'm wearing my new Modcloth dress! It arrived yesterday. The print is SO adorable! I have such a sweet tooth, and I also love wearing sweets as well, in my clothing and jewelry! I got the dress with money I got for my birthday, so that was nice. It was really perfect timing that I received the cupcake ring this week!
I love pairing this new dress with my bright yellow cardigan, and my new yellow belt. I really love the colour yellow, and usually can't find too many yellow items of clothing/accessories/shoes.
I also really love the heels I'm wearing in these pictures, they're my favourite heels. I love that the heel part and the platform part are diferent colours from the actual shoe. I think these pair great with the dress.
I recently returned a dress to Modcloth that I had gotten with a gift card. Once they return it and give me the store credit for it, I have another dress in mind that I'll order! I've been wanting it for months. It's so nice to get Modcloth gift cards and money to spend there for my birthday.
I thought it would be perfect to take pictures under the cupcake poster in my kitchen! And also it was too dark to take pictures outside by the time I got home, ha.

Hello there! I'm so glad to be done with 3/5 of the work week! I'm not doing much tonight. I ran to the library after work, and I'm just going to read and watch some of season five of "Six Feet Under." We are on the final season! I do like the show...but, I still don't love it. It is entertaining, but it's not as exciting to watch as my favourite shows are.
In the pictures below I'm wearing a dress I've worn on my blog before. It's pretty thin material, so it'll be hard to wear this when it gets cooler out. I think it's one of my most flattering pieces of clothing, and the colours/print are just so fabulous!
I'm also wearing my brand new earrings and rings. They arrived today; I ordered them from Etsy. I was so excited when I ripped open the package! They are each so beautifully crafted, brightly coloured, and look so real! They are great sizes, too. I couldn't believe what a great job she did. I know I'll be wearing them all the time! Her prices are very reasonable, too. Her shop name on Etsy is: ScrumptiousDoodle
. I ordered a donut ring from her, too. That should be here this week.

Hello there! Tonight I ran to Target to pick up a couple things I needed, and I just worked out. I'm going to read and watch "Six Feet Under" after I'm done writing this. I don't really have any plans this week yet.
In the pictures below I'm wearing one of my favourite dresses. My mom made it for me. I've worn it in other blog posts before. I get a lot of compliments on this one. I love the orange flats that I'm wearing in these pictures. I got them at Target last year. They are such a bright, vivid shade of orange. Bob took these pictures of me in the kitchen, since it was dark and rainy out. It was like that all day. I can't really complain though, since we had so many sunny days in a row!
My mom started making my gingerbread house print dress yesterday! I can't wait until it's done. I'm only going to be wear it from the end of November until the very beginning of January, but it's so very adorable. Just perfect for the Christmas season!
The first picture below is of my birthday present from my sister! She gave it to me this weekend since I didn't see her on my birthday. I already put it behind our door. It's sooo adorable, I love it!

Hello there! Yesterday we found the bridesmaid's dresses! We all really loved them. The colour was perfect (they're pink, close to a coral colour), and the style was flattering and so pretty. They looked gorgeous! I was so happy that that dress worked out, and it was a great price. It was about half the price of the other dress we were deciding between.
I also tried on my wedding dress again, at my sister's request. I still love it! So, that's a relief ha. And all the bridesmaid's did, as well.
I'm so relieved to have all the major decisions done and over with. Next step is calling a hotel to book a block of rooms, and then order the invitations.
Our engagement party was at my parent's house last night. It went well. My mom is such a great cook and baker! The last few pictures on this post are from the party. My aunt who lives in Texas surprised me by ordering that GORGEOUS bouquet of flowers!
In the first few pictures below I'm wearing my favourite shirt. Love the pattern and all the colours! I wear it pretty often.

Hello there! Yay, today is Friday! Hope this day doesn't take too long to get through. I don't really have plans for tonight. I have to wake up early tomorrow morning to go look at bridesmaid's dresses. My sister is coming home to my parent's tonight. (She lives in Connecticut.) She hasn't been home in about three months.
In the pictures below I'm wearing a brand new Modcloth dress! It arrived yesterday, and I tried it on right when I got home. I had been eyeing it for months on Modcloth. I really love it! It's a little bit loose, but not too bad. Wearing it with a belt definitely helps give it more shape. I'm in love with the print on it! I'm a huge fan of traveling; my parents instilled that in me from when I was little. They took my sister and I on road trips every summer, and we got to see a lot of the United States, and also parts of Canada. (I've been to 34 states.) I also took a trip to Germany and Austria with my mom once. I ordered this dress with a gift card for my birthday. I have another dress arriving tomorrow from Modcloth, also ordered with a gift card. I hope to get more Modcloth gift cars for Christmas! :)

Hello there! This weather has been spectacular!! I don't want it to ever leave. It's been so sunny and warm, just perfection.
Ahh, glad to be done with over half of the work week now. Being off on Monday helped speed my week up a bit! I'm not doing too much tonight. Going to read and watch some "Six Feet Under." I have a dentist appointment tomorrow, eek! It's with a new dentist, and I'm nervous about it. I was supposed to go last week, but they had to cancel. I know I'll feel much better once I get the appointment done and out of the way, so I don't have to think about it anymore, and also so I know if I like the new dentist/hygienist.
I was looking up honeymoons last night. I mainly looked at The Bahamas. It's such a short flight there! I had no idea. It's about three hours. I'm going to look more at other places too though. I did look at Bermuda, but I couldn't find any all inclusive places. And we HAVE to stay all inclusive, I don't want to do it any other way.
In
the pictures below I'm wearing a dress I got from Modcloth last month. I
posted pictures of it already on a blog post. I've been wearing it a
lot! I really love it. It's become one of my favourites. I get tons of
compliments on it! The colours/pattern are both so fabulous. When I wear
items from Modcloth, I often get complimented. I'm so glad I found that
website! It's definitely my fav place to shop. I hardly ever go to the mall anymore, and when I do, I rarely find anything I like.
Saturday I'm going with my bridesmaids to look at bridesmaids dresses! I have one in mind, and hopefully that one works out, since it has both pink and orange in the dress. I think it'll work, I already showed them a picture of it, and they all like it. After we do that, we're going to one of my fav restaurants: Brew Works! I was there in September, too. And after lunch, we're headed home for the engagement party. Bob's family and my family will be there, I think 20-25 people.
