love love love

like seriously love love love
this headband
and this bridal hair style

ack! seriously it makes me wanna put on my wedding dress
and take pretty pictures with it
the bride bought it from here

sorry sorry sorry sorry

sorry ppls...

im back :)

i apologize for my lack of blogging

but also in my defense..

i had finals.

then i had to plan and execute VBS 2010

and then i planned for Haiti

and i went to Haiti

and i recovered from Haiti

and then we celebrated our one year anniversary!

and then we had an unexpected guest who stayed...kinda for awhile

and now im back and here.

but today..i just had to talk about shoes.
during the wedding planning, i kept seeing gorgeous images of bright colored shoes

of brides at the wedding.

and if u kepe seeing these images

it makes u wanna get them

and then if ya go to bloomingdales

and see the prices...u realize that its kinda ridiculous to spend

so much money on shoes you'll be wearing for one day

or unless u convince yourself you will wear it again afterwards

but for me..i really wasnt a shoe person to begin with

and so i chose some that were cute

and comfortable

if i had to do it over again...

i will def pick some of these lovelys ive been seeing

first its the

Vivienne Westwood Anglomania for Melissa Heart

Then my fav...Christian Louboutin Love shoes

seriously..how cute are these?

loft love

everybody knows that im a loft lover

seriously

the only store credit card i have is loft

bc i actually use it

and their styles are so stylish these days

look no?

boden

loving this style from boden usa
a mail order catalogue

anthropologie love

anthropologie love
all from their website

i must get off my laziness
and go to anthropologie
its just i hate driving to perimeter or lenox during holidays
ga traffic = headache

pinky pink

i love etsy
i really do
etsy is all about
wow you got that for how much?
it looks so cute and great and awesome!

until it comes in the mail
and something is slightly off
something looks a little different from picture
and there is a let down

im sure all etsy fans will hate me
but all my experiences with etsy
has been a slight let down
nothing was wrong with the product
but it didnt look as great as the picture.

now im very partial to koreas clothing
even though it might be overpriced
the quality might not be all that
but im ever so partial.

lets hope pinkypinky meets up the standard
i bought a long vest
i couldnt find the picture
bc i bought it and it was taken out of the store

a break

so a break from wedding describing :)

i usually love the LOFT
i used to shop there ALL the time
but last yr's style wasnt my style
so I havent been in there for awhile.

i was driving by the northpoint LOFT
a bigger and grander store
and i actually did a u turn to go in.

im digging their fall styles
i heart the gray and the purple and dark blue
loves it!

hair

my hair is really really thin
like really
like thin.

so my hair and makeup place
suggested that I get extensions
and if we us theirs, it will cost an extra charge
to wear it for the day.

luckily,
my parents have been preparing for this all their lives
by owning several beauty supply stores
where they sell hair extensions, weaves, etc.

hair pieces freak me out for some reason
but this is what you would look at to pick your color
i'm a 1B


and then the pics below are pics i found
on google with ppl with hair extensions
u add it to your natural hair
and then fabulous!

the moment

i never had THE dress moment
where I try on wedding dresses and just know that
"this is it" type feeling

instead, i went to three different bridal salons
a really cute boutique, david's bridal, and a korean boutique.
i ended up trying several on
and just picking one depending on whatever looks good on me
it wasnt a "this is it" moment.
i was happy with it (dont get me wrong)
but it wasnt that special feeling.

however, i had it with my wedding shoes.
im not even a shoes girl
but when i tried these wedding shoes on
it felt perfect.

so for several months
i browsed alllll websites available to man
for wedding shoes
piperlime, 6PM, zappoes, shoes.com, dsw, etc etc
although there were many selections
im not too comfortable with buying shoes online
(i need to try it on)

i went and looked at bloomingdales, macys, dillards, off 5th saks, dsw

and so i got desperate
less than a week before I go to Korea
so I ordered two shoes from zappos as backup.
they have free returns after 365 days
the shoes came, looked awful, and my feet hurt the moment i put my feet in
but i kept it as backup
just in case

until yesterday,
my mother and i went shopping
at macys for a mothers day present
for my grandmother.
i browsed to the shoe section
saw these shoes, tried it on
and had the yes...this is it moment :)

jet lag

so i'm currently in the motherland
meeting the inlaws
seeing new additions to the family
(i'm a future aunt! the boy's only sister just had her first baby)
and getting some of the wedding planning done.
correction: the may korean wedding planning done.

and i am struggling mightily with jet lag.
its about 4am here and am wide awake.
not goooood.

to kill time, i really liked a lot of the oscar fashion
that i have been seeing online.
there was no one dress that was hideous
but i did see a trend of how a lot of the dresses
are veering similarly to wedding dresses.
doncha think?

some of my favs:
i love love her fashion!
she has rocked all the styles throughout this yr's awards season

i'm usually not a fan of carrie
but i really loved the poofiness of her dress


and i'm a huge fan of natalie portman
she's young, smart, and gorgeous!
i'm not much of a fan of the color (on me)
but the style i love!

simplicity

simplicity of the hair
this isnt a bad idea either

pic from luna photo

SAG dress

i really like ugly betty's dress from the SAG awards
im sure the critics will say not
but i think the color really matches her tone.

cardigan love

sorry for being so MIA
i have been incredibly busy with
end of year festivities, work, church opening,
and my fabulous trip to vegas :)

i love cardigans.
my friends will state (sometimes complain)
that all i wear is cardigans
i personally believe that you cant have too many

and imagine how much i swooned (literally)
when i saw these brides with such pretty cardigans
(images from wedding bee)


i love tulle also!
so then i got all wild thinking
what cardigan i would wear...
some of my favs i found online
1) br love



2) i always heart jcrew


3)and of course anthropolige
cute cardigans galore

whatya think?

oooh color
