So a little back story before I throw you all into this whirlwind of fuckery... My family is 100% Eastern European and are very set in their old ways. I'm an almost 30 bride (USA born) who is completely Americanized. This said I respect my roots and...

I'm SO excited! My wedding shoes finally arrived (Shoes of Prey)! Let me see your wedding shoes! I may or may not have bought 3 other pairs of "wedding shoes" before these that I wasn't in love with. Luckily, I'm head over HEELS for these ones!

and I think I love my (potential) seamstress! I bought my dress back "home" in DC, but we decided it was more cost effective for me to find a seamstress here in Austin. My boutique offered to call whoever I was considering, and did so about three...

Well today is tomorrow.. The day you said 'I'll do it after the weekend.' so ladies and gentlemen with goals, what did you today or what will you do today to work on your goals? Did you chose a better snack today between meals? Did you go for that...

Soooo found this amazing gem!! It was completely different than literally every style I had looked at or thought I liked. Spaghetti straps on a wedding dress have never appealed to me and then I put it on and fell in love. Even went back a week later...

FH decided on the GM tux on Monday. So we finally have a complete color scheme for the wedding: light rose gold, gold, navy, & ivory. I'm considering adding a hint of pale pink. Let me see what you're using or used.

As a curvy girl, the thought of wedding dress shopping is more anxiety inducing than exciting. I want to be able to enjoy my shopping experience... I know that shops carry plus sizes, but I'd really like to find one of those shops that specialize in...

After having a heart attack that it didn't arrive on Monday as scheduled, we got a knock on the door yesterday. It was the dress! I had a friend over who was dyeing my hair, and we were hoping it would be here before I had to take her home. We...
