My LBD

I finally found my dress for the wedding in November! Hooray!!! I'm pretty super excited about it, it was not only found at the first store we went in but it was the very first dress I tried on. I put it on and looked in the mirror and was shocked at how it made me look about 10 pounds thinner! It made me feel good about myself and I knew at that very moment that, that was the dress for me. The neckline, the sleeves, the length of the dress is perfect since I'm short at about 5'3ish, everything was perfect...oh yes even the price at $22.80!! I'm going to channel my inner Audrey Hepburn for the evening and wear pearls and a fancy updo. I can't decide if I should do the red lip neutral eye or the neutral lip smokey eye thing...oh decisions decisions. I do still have some time to decide on that one, but for the shoes I got little black booties with a heel and a bow on the side, which I think I'm going to embellish with some jewels of some sort. My mom-mom had left my mom a ton of her beads and beautiful little embellishments so I think I'll go through those and see what I can find. I can't wait to get all dressed up and feel like a movies star...okay maybe that'll just be in my head but like I said I'm channeling my inner Audrey so I hope to do her proud!!!

Dessert Anyone?

I love this little trend that seems to be happening at more and more weddings and even birthday parties. It's no longer just a cake or a groom's cake and maybe some little pastries. It's a whole dessert table, full of yummy treats in the colors of your wedding. From M&Ms to Rock Candy, from cupcakes to gorgeous truffles of all sorts. One of my favorite parts of the table are seeing the jars and dishes they are displayed in as well as the little wrappers and labels that grace the table.

These are just a few of my favorites...

this adorable hard candy theme
filled with ribbon candy and malted milk balls and one of my childhood favorites those little marshmallow ice cream cones

pretty pink silhouette and love theme
cupcakes galore and adorable pastries

this purple table
gorgeous flowers next to chocolate covered pretzels? umm hello!!!

 this has to be one of my favorites
i love the vintage feel of this one, the damask wallpaper, the candles and the love banner. not to mention the sweet cake pops and the little love is sweet flags on the mini cheesecakes.

of course i had to throw a halloween themed one in there we're less then a week away!!!!!
the little dirt skeleton coffins, bat taffies, fake poisoned brew...amazing!


Seriously I could go on for hours with all of this and just sit in front of my little old computer but I have to go and make myself look human and head off to the store. Well these pictures seriously just made my day and now I'll be thinking of weddings all day and how I wish I was getting married just to have someone create one of these for me...Hey who knows maybe I'll start my own dessert table business.

Shopping today...

I really dislike shopping at some points, especially when I'm actually looking for something specific. My mom and I have a wedding to go to in November and have yet to find anything to wear!!! I wish I could order offline because I've found so many cute dresses especially from Threadsence and Modcloth but being some what of a plus size gal it's hard for me to order from these places because I'm so terrified it's not going to fit and then I wouldn't have time to send it back for another size and yadda yadda yadda you get the point haha. The only thing I'm excited about is shopping for shoes! I love shopping for shoes, probably my favorite thing to do. I however cannot walk in stilettos but maybe a thicker heel or a wedge would be nice since I'll be dancing the night away with my momma as my beautiful date!!

I know no one reads this but it's my little piece of the internet and that makes me happy. I'll be posting pictures of the dresses I try on. I'm pretty excited to get all dressed up and be glamorous for the night. I don't get a lot of that since I'm a full time mom and don't go out very often. That's okay though, I'd rather spend my time with my baby bee and crafting and re-doing his room...ROBOT THEME!!! So excited for that one, I just found the robot fabric I've been looking for at Wal-Mart none the less...no other fabric store had it.

Anyway, guess I'll go do wash and get ready for my awesome shopping experience.
