Hen's night dress

Hen's dress shopping during Vogue's fashion night out was fun! Crazy darting in and out of these glamorous stores amongst all the glitzy merchandise and beautiful models. A champagne here, a marshmallow there... A goodie bag amassed. It was fantastic! And to top it all I must have looked at all the pink clothes there were in all the stores I breezed through. Almost reconsidered tossing out my reception dress for one I saw today at Bariano... But checked myself into reality and tore myself away. No pink dresses there.

I played with the Vogue app tonight too and tried to check into places... Eventho I couldn't find gucci...I was still numero 16 on the leaderboard when I checked into Burberry! That wasn't too bad an effort.

So here's the dress I bought. It isn't pink... But it's Zara and it's darl! Won't you agree?

One month & one day

How did we ever get here? I am sitting in my sunny writing corner in the house (chucked a sickie today causeI feel an oncoming sore throat) and booking our flights for the honeymoon, laying out the wedding program onto a booklet format, writing my reception night speech and then collecting our wedding bubbles that were delivered to the post office. That is what's left on the wedding day agenda so far this time out.

I cannot believe that I am marrying Mr Perfectly-right-for-me in 1 month and 1 day's time! This is real bizzare. More waking up in the mornings with him, more laughs over our silliness, more of getting the mundane chores done together so that we can relax together afterwards. Wowza, so much to look forward to!

Just this last weekend passed, the girls came over to finalise details of the hen's night as well as help me put all the favours together. 210 glasses packed into kraft boxes and taped with Japanese washi tape. Hope our guests appreciate the amount of effort that we've put into this.




They also helped me into both my dresses to make sure I still fit in them and to allay my fears that I might need a bustle. Gosh I am so excited now, having made peace with my dresses...hehehehe.

And S's mum was so sweet, she gave me a whole bunch of plants for our garden so that we can have them looking nice for the wedding. And S's dad bought us a lawn mower and mowed our lawn for us! What a gem!

I hope these orchids stay alive for the wedding!

Tomorrow night's Vogue's Fashion Night out! I have dance classes, but I need to buy my Hen's night outfit and what better night to shop than on this one. Hope I get lotsa freebies again like I did last year

Louis vuitton on king st

Oh my heart skipped a beat tonight as I walked on king street and george and noticed the new store coming up next to the Apple store. I hadn't been following fashion for so long having given up the love of bags to chase the wedding world. I no longer trawl the purse forum. Choosing instead to visit the wedding central and speaking a whole new lingo there talking FILs and a whole different range of designers. It's a blast from the past.

I walked up further to the old LV store and thought back to the last time I was in there buying my electric epi clutch. That was a year ago now. I doubt they'd even remember me now if I walked in. Ppl are so fleeting in their memories...

Moment of Revelation: I finally was able to place a girl that I saw on a wedding video from Paper Crane Productions... She sold me my first LV clutch on Valentine's day and she was always so friendly. I thought she looked really familiar on the video but was so uncertain where I'd met her from. Wowza a collision of two worlds- the past and the present.

Perhaps one day they might co-exist harmoniously.

Still obsessing...

about my dress... and getting impatient about wearing it for the real day...

Now am considering a wrist loop bustle.

And how juvenile is this? I got excited today when I found out Alfred Angelo (Designer for my wedding dress) is making replicas of Bella's (Yes I am a Twi-hard) wedding dress in the new movie! Guess it'll defnitely be gorgeous... wonder what it'll look like though.

So many things to look forward to after September! Sighz...

Indecisiveness

I am terrible! I have been doubting my dress eversince this picture took my breath away:

 From then on I kept fussing over the skirt of my dress being too big and how I should have gotten it more fitted and really regretting not taking in the skirt. So on and so forth. Making mental lists as to the pros and cons of not tailoring the dress to much which included totally valid points such as having the gown look different in style to the reception dress, or that it'll be easier to resell later on if I keep the dress as original as I can help it, or just that I'll be less stressed about weight fluctuations with the gown not being too fitted.

Finally today, after watching this clip and several more SMP blog posts where brides were wearing A-line skirts, I am more at peace with myself now, knowing that I did make the right choice after all. S says no matter how bad I think I look, he won't change his mind and that he'll be at the end of that altar, ready to marry me.
