Bling, Bling, and More Bling

I know it's way too early to be stressing about my jewelry, but I've just seen way to many awesome designs out there not to start thinking about it.

I'm definitely all about the chandelier look for ears, especially with a super tight, vintage modern (modern vintage?) mermaid dress.

These from Ben-Amun are great, and are reasonably priced at $100 - $180:





As are these from Vera Wang, available from Bag, Borrow or Steal. You're basically only renting them from the company for your wedding (or longer if you have the cash) and then returning them, but who wouldn't want to wear real bling (3 carat earrings anyone?) on their wedding day?



*sigh* pretty. *sigh*

Engagment Picture Look

Yipes! It's here! Engagement picture day. I guess I should have posted this weeks ago, but here we are...

When we booked this day w/ our photog months ago, I told myself I had PLENTY of time to find an outfit. But now today is here, and I'm realizing that I (a) don't like any of the shoes I have, and (b) I have no appropriate jewelry. Aackkk!

FI decided he wanted to dress up for the event, so jeans and a cute cami were immediately thrown out of the window. Not to be discouraged, however, I turned this into an excuse to buy a pretty, sexy new dress from Saks. ;)

And here it is:

It's a Herve Leger (forgive the lack of accent marks) and there was the BIGGEST issue with it arriving yesterday. I spent the bulk of the day on the phone with Saks and Fed-ex trying to see precisely where the package was, and finally Fed-Ex had it specially courriered over around 8 p.m. - only 8 hours after it's original guaranteed delivery time.

So... I have the dress - hurray. But I'm not yet sure what shoes I'll be slipping into. I'd like something bright for a nice pop of color, but I'm sorely lacking in the brightly colored shoes department aside from my AWESOME lime green d'orsay peep toes. Those are for the wedding, though. *sigh*

So, I'm off now to look for some shoes (perhaps fuschia?) and perhaps a nice necklace or some earrings. Wish me luck! :)
