What I Wore - *Perspirating Polka Dots*
Monday, August 6, 2012
Hey there my lovely blog reading ladies!
You're probably perplexed at the post title...it's quite simple actually. As you'll see...I'm wearing a polka dot skirt and it was like 100 humid degrees outside and I was sweating. Super cute.
Anyway...how was your weekend?
Am I the only person that hasn't seen The Dark Knight yet because I feel like I'm the only person.
Because I've felt so MIA from blogging lately - I thought I'd share via photos a brief synopsis of my weekend before the outfit shots!
My mama bought me these GORGEOUS earrings...I can't love them anymore than I do.
I curled my hair...
I bought too many China Glaze polishes...and I love them all...and I painted my nails the Rare and Radiant shade on Sunday evening. (it's the middle one on the top row)
I slept on tiny cats.
And I found my wedding jewelry :)
These of course are just some of the "captured" moments this weekend! :)
*****************************************
Okay okay...time for some outfit photos!
This of course is my cute face.
Trying not to appear like it's sweltering outside.
You guys...see that black band around my wrist...it's the first time in I don't know how long I have to keep a hair band handy because my hair is long enough to put up in a ponytail.
Little lady pose.
You can SEE the humidity in this photo...it looks like a glow or a fog but it's straight up hot hot heat.

Top - Target
Skirt - thrifted
Shoes - ZooShoo
Necklace - I forget!
Talk to you soon!
Wedding, Olympics, Work-Outs...Oh My!
Thursday, August 2, 2012
Hahaha...if you read my post title as one phrase it's Wedding Olympics Work-Outs.
As a whole phrase that also makes sense to me.
I apologize *yet again* for my brief (but I'm sure it's not my last) absence.
It's been nothing short of chaotic around these here parts recently.
I think if people had a brief glimpse of "what's the come" after saying yes to a proposal...in regards to wedding planning...they may hesitate in answering. It's easy to dream up your perfect wedding but executing said perfect wedding with less than perfect circumstances is painful!! Though our wedding will be small (THANK GOD it's small...I can't imagine planning for a large wedding) it's still nothing short of stressful to work out the details and the kinks. I know we still have a good chunk of time to get everything executed but boy does time fly!!
This is probably going to be a very boring post for people who like posts with lots of photos!!
On the plus side I am getting things crossed off my list.
For example -
I sent out about 93% of my Save the Dates (with the exception of the fiance's family as I'm waiting to get their emails) - Yep that's right I went with emailing out Save the Dates. I couldn't rationalize spending the money to physically mail them.
Also -
-I scheduled a makeup trial!! (I've never had my makeup done before!)
-I booked a tasting with the bakery (Sugar Rush Confections) that I'd like to make our cake
-An appointment was booked with the potential florist
-I bought our cake topper (custom cake topper is in the works!)
-I bought our card box
-Picked out 3 potential veils
-Picked out the wedding favors and scheduled a date to order them
-I bought our drink dispensers which will hold the sangria!
-AND I made a honeymoon registry (because I think that is such a neat idea for an option to contribute to a couple's honeymoon fund)
Check, check, check!
As you can see...I've been kinda busy!
But I'm so glad I've been able to get a good chunk of the items marked off as complete or almost complete.

On another note -
The Olympics have been taking up what time I do have to spare. Is anyone else completely consumed once the primetime events begin? Swimming and gymnastics are the ones that I just HAVE to watch. I won't go into my obsession here because I'm sure people are bored reading about the Olympics!
*********************************
Lastly - My Zumba workouts have fallen to the wayside but I've been trying to get out and walk at the very least for half an hour or so. It's better than nothing right?
I just wanted to stop in and give a little update as to why I haven't been in the blogland recently but I'll be back tomorrow to share What I Fancy Friday! :)
Talk to you soon!
