Wedding Extravaganza Weekend!
Today I bought this Napoleon Perdis Lip Lacquer (in Baby Lips) at Sephora because it was 50% off. I heard/read that Napoleon Perdis is going to Target soon...which kind of cheapens the line...but at least it's Target. That I can still respect. Wal-Mart...not so much.
I also had my nails done. I love getting manicures and pedicures, but I don't get why the manicurist has to sit there and punch my calves. I don't have fat legs, but they are fairly toned. That doesn't mean I want them punched with your tiny fists, lady! I had them painted a light metallic silvery pink...which I am not a huge fan of...but whatever, it's not my wedding. I didn't get a French manicure/pedicure because it will look horrendous -- worse than light metallic silvery pink -- with my too-shiny silver shoes. Haha.
So this is our bridesmaid ensemble, and
Gloria says whoever came up with it will never be a stylist...and I tend to agree: a dark, flat brown dress (not even a rich milk chocolate brown) in silk taffeta, with bright silver shoes (not sparkly, but still very shiny), and a pearl cuff bracelet with slightly matching pearl studs ("slightly" because they are not as delicate-looking as the cuff).
I'm pairing this with my light pink wrap (for the evening) that I got from Judy's wedding. Heh. Joanna didn't provide us with wraps or provide us with orders for wraps, so...I decided I'd wear whichever one I wanted.
Anyway...pictures (maybe) to come. I still haven't even written about the ill-fated bachelorette party last weekend -- you know, the one where I said to the Maid of Honor (the bride's kid sister), "You're DRUNK!" and then she cried. I have so little patience for drunk people who cry about being drunk. Even thinking about it right now irritates me.
Amidst all the wedding hoopla, I did get to see the Sex and the City Movie with
Anne last night, after a couple of Vodka Gimlets at the Cheesecake Factory...where we were surrounded by girls sporting their skankiest Sex and the City gear (the worst, I think, imitations I've seen in a long time, by FAR). We purposely avoided getting Cosmopolitans because so many girls (same women wearing the hoochie gear) were drinking them. Haha.
Here's to hoping I can squeeze myself into that air-constricting bridesmaid gown tomorrow!
