rosemary's lady

hello hello! i present to you a SECOND post, in one day, a small pittance for my multi-week absence before, during, and after the hitchin'. after my kvetching about not being sure how to dress from my hair, i got lots of "i've-been-there"s from you guys; and most of you basically said, you can still wear dresses, weirdo. my friend chris, after pointing out that we have the same haircut (a mixed compliment, to be sure,) gave me this advice: "channel Mia Farrow a la Rosemary's Baby and keep rocking the 60s clothes. She's my style icon these days." done and done, good sir! so here i am, doing my best mia farrow a la rosemary's baby. rosemary's lady, if you will. (oh, you won't? fair enough. it was a silly stretch of a title at best.)

i think i'll be dragging any shift dresses and button-up blouses out of storage soon.

until next time (much food and i THINK, very soon, the big wedding wrap-up soon to come!),

stress & mess

hi everyone,

please forgive my week-long absence! i promised myself i would never become that stressed out, tunnel-visioned bride, but it's happened, despite my best efforts. as it turns out, being incredibly laid-back often comes back around to bite you in the ass, and my ass is covered in proverbial bite marks. okay, that sounded weirdly sexual. my ass is fine. my brain, however, is FRIED.

i've spent the last couple of weeks creating lists, calling vendors, frantically emailing, papier mache-ing, dying, and planning. my to-do list is approximately 324 things long. on top of all of this, of course, i have a full-time job that i'm trying to balance, so the one thing that has fallen my the wayside is this blog of mine.

this weekend i'm doing lots of last minute things - a bit of bridesmaid shopping, getting my eyebrows done, freezing the cake - and then i jump on a train to connecticut monday morning, where the work REALLY starts. i am bringing my camera, and my BRAND NEW COMPUTER (i haven't been on here to mention that my dream guy NOT ONLY agreed to marry me, but bought me a macbook pro this past weekend [my macbook has been suffering for some time now - i once used it on the same table as some candles, and it's been carrying the scars every since]) and lots of cute outfits, and i swear to take photos every day and update my progress. until then, though, i'm afraid i have to hunker down and get my affairs in order.

one outfit photo to share, though - the lovely folks at outlet seven are having a major sample sale, and allowed me to pick a few pieces to dress up. my favorite is this mod-ish red dress from sunjoo moon. the sample sale is up until the 27th (that's this friday) and there are drinks and crazy awesome deals. check it out.

until this weekend,

much love,
