holy crap, acrylic nails suck!  I can't do anythingggggg.  DEFINITELY going shorter next time...this is already driving me crazy and it's only day two!

 I had a Rockstar about two hours ago and am now having a fuzzy navel, so excuse me for being in a weird mental state (no, this is in no way typical for me!  Just a strange schedule today)!

Anyway, my new dress came!  So I got to try on the whole shebang, dress, sandals, jewelry, and all.  I am purchasing a sweater to go over it, but since I ( Read more... )

• FH found a suit (!!!!!!).  He needed one for a grad school interview and as it turns out, it'll work great for the wedding too.  He got it for $128!  Since it was so cheap he splurged on a $65 shirt, but then we saved moola ( Read more... )

1.  Describe your theme in three words:  eclectic vegan eco-chic?  
2. Name two things you're doing that demonstrate your theme:  umm, kind of everything?  We're very earthy people so we've created the entire event to intentionally portray US... our views, our passions, and so forth.  So our personalities and lifestyles are woven throughout every ( Read more... )
