OOTD

We went for a tasting today at our reception venue. The food was amazing! We had Chicken Marsala (my favorite), Veal Saltimbocca, and Stuffed Shrimp (stuffed with crab meat). Afterwards, we went to the jewelry store and I finally made a decision on a ring. We've been looking around for a while now and I really thought I was going to get a wrap or double band but I surprised myself. I ended up getting a really pretty diamond band, simple and classic -just like my engagement ring. I'd post a picture but I won't have it for another 6 weeks or so because it is being ordered in my size. I promise to post it when it comes in though.

Anyway, here's what I wore today:

Marshalls Gray Sweater

Forever 21 Leggings (yes, I wear leggings A LOT)

Qupid Boots

*Please excuse my hair. I desperately need a trim and thankfully, I will be getting one on Monday.

OOTD...well last Saturday's OOTD

We were going to go to the movies last Saturday night but my fiance's battery died in his car and my car was full of snow. By the time we cleaned my car off, and charged his battery, we missed the movie so we ended up just going for a drive instead which was actually really nice.
This was my first outfit selection of the night. I was going to wear this until my fiance asked me if I was going on an interview. He doesn't get that you can wear a blazer without going to an office. So I switched my top to this cropped cable knit shrug.

Forever 21 Tube Top Tunic

Strawberry's Leggings

The Limited Black Shrug

Dollhouse Boots

Juicy Couture Necklace

Bracelet -Express (I think)

A little online shopping haul

Pearls + Bow= Love

Love these stretchy bracelets. I've been wanting/needing a belt like this for some time now.

My bridal clutch came in! So exciting!!!

It came with a short chain strap and a longer one too.

Wedding Wednesday Hair

I really can't decide what to do with my hair. One thing that I do know is that I'm not going to wear a traditional veil. If anything, I'll wear a birdcage veil, but I'm not even sure if I want to do that either. I almost never wear my hair up so originally I was thinking of doing something like this:

or this (minus the crown, of course):
This is Rima Fakih (2010 Miss USA), by the way. Isn't she gorgeous?

Then I stumbled upon this picture of Monica Cruz (Penelope's sister)
and I started to consider wearing my hair up.
I really like this updo as well (love the headband too):

(Style Me Pretty)

I don't really want a hairstyle that screams "bridal hair." I know that may sound strange but I want more of a sexy, tousled look (think Victoria's Secret hair) than "perfect," traditional, typical, expected (do you see where I'm going with this?) wedding hair.

Some may argue that you should wear a veil since this is the one day in your life when you can. Well, besides Halloween, anyway. Others will argue that sleek, sophisticated "bridal hair" is the best way to go because it will complement dress that you will be wearing.

Opinions, Thoughts, Suggestions???

If Only They Were Practical

This one is probably the most practical out of them all but I had a case like this before and it wasn't long before the stones started to come off and it looked like crap.

I really wish I could get cases like these but I am constantly in motion when I'm on the phone. I just can't sit still. Ever. I can't imagine these being too comfortable resting on my shoulder or holding up too well when it gets thrown around in my purse or in my car. They're so pretty though!!!

Anyone have a blinged out cell phone case that works for them??
