The Hostesses With the Mostesses

I am uber-excited to see my line sisters at the wedding. I just couldn't bring myself to choose one or a few to be bridesmaids, so they are all going to be hostesses. They are the most awesome bunch of future lawyers, doctors, educators, and stars you will ever meet. No.Really.

Did I mention they are fiiiiine, too? The photographer isn't going to know what to do with her camera when she sees us all together, lol.

Especially in something champagne like these little numbers...

Spring Break + Sparkle

It's spring break! Whoop-whoop! Despite the fact that some studying must be done (ugh. medical school.), I plan to tackle a lot of wedding things this week. Wish me luck!

While I'm re-writing the "future accomplishments" list(again), check this out...

At adornbrides.com you can rent jewelry for the day. Now, I'm not normally into bling-bling, but I would love to don this gorgeousness on the big day.

Too bad it rents for 2,200 dollars.
Hey, if you're big balling, check it out today; they are offering 15% off - a whopping $270!!!

Oh yeah, and if you happen to have $32,900 sitting around (after you've given a considerable amount to God and the charity of your choice, of course) you can pick this little baby up - a paisley diamond cuff bracelet by Chad Allison.

March (Menswear) Madness

Officially four months and two weeks left!

The clock is ticking, and there are definitely somethings that I wish I had done by now. Don't they say, "Nothing to it but to do it" or something like that?



One thing I (sorta) wish I had done was make my life easier by picking a more trendy or easy to match color. Finding raspberry bridesmaids dresses wasn't too hard, but now I can't find any ties for the guys! Mr. Man's only request is that they not wear bow ties, and I support him one-hundred percent. But that's as much as has been decided regarding the guys attire.

Can you help in the hunt?
Will I survive the next four months without going crazy?
Let the "march madness" begin!!

What about these?

I think they'd be pretty amazing peeking out from under my dress.

A Shopping Trip

After help from my sorority sisters and hours of online searching, I'd finally decided on the engagement picture outfit. It was a pretty yellow wrap dress. I'd had it all figured out. The yellow was for fun and wrap dress was for flattering the figure.

The plan was all in motion until I ran it by Mr. Man.

He.hated.it.

Well actually, I'm being a bit dramatic. He said he didn't like it. And for a guy who rarely has an opinion on his own clothes, "i don't like it" is a pretty strong statement.

Normally, I'd find some cute shoes and keep it moving, but since this will go out to all our family and friends, I decided to rethink the outfit. Off to Northpark Mall we go!

Let me know if you see anythingonline that screams "wear me, wear me!".

Lights, Camera, Action!!!

Houston, we have a photographer!
Now, what to wear in the engagement photos?

My vision (yes, I know I'm being dramatic) is "date night in the city".
Here are some options.

I like this one, but it sort of looks like she just came from the (fashionable) office.




This color is juicy!

I'd wear this one with a bright colored cardigan and fun shoes for color.

What do you think? Please feel free to send recommendations!
