I'm a bridesmaid for the 1st time

I am a going to be a bridesmaid for the first time next weekend on Saturday! 

One of my best friends, 

Lindsay is getting married and she asked me to be in her wedding. 

So I thought I'd do a little post on what I am going to be wearing for her big day.

Alfred Sung Dress in Majestic

B.P. Shoes in gold

Hair Pin in Gold

OPI for Sephora nail polish in Just a Little Dangerous

This is where I got my inspiration for my hair
{Miranda in the SATC movie for Carrie's wedding}

I am hoping it looks this good on me!

sorry for the poor quality these were taken at night, in my bathroom with my phone!

I don't know what the jewelry looks like because that is something the bride has made for us! 

Yes, she made it because she has an amazing little shop on ETSY called LJsLuxuries you should go check that out for sure! 

It's a little empty right now since she's going to be married in a little over a week. 

I know it's going to be beautiful though. 

I do know it's going to be gold & dark purple to match our dresses & shoes.

I really can't wait until her wedding it's going to be so much fun! 

Royal Wedding

So my morning was consumed with watching all things Royal Wedding. I recorded the wedding so that I cold watch it when I woke up because there is no way I could have gotten up to watch it when I have to watch the boy all day by myself with no help since daddy is still gone. He will be home tonight but still I would have been exhausted if I got up to watch it so I just chose to record and watch this morning when the boy and I got up.

I have to say that this wedding to me was absolutely amazing. I cried... I don't know them but I cried because it is such an amazingly sweet moment between two people and you can tell that they love each other so very much and the fact that they let the entire world into their wedding was amazing. I was also born in the same year as both of them so to me I feel a small connection with them because of that. I love her dress it was absolutely stunning. Everything about it was just perfect and I know there will be many, many knock offs all over the world for future brides to wear.

I also feel for Prince William and not having his mother there. I can't imagine how he was feeling because I know how close he was to her and how much he misses her. But to have his new bride wear her ring is amazing. It is such an awesome tribute to his mom.

Overall I have to say it was absolutely beautiful! I loved every minute of it. It was SOOO romantic and made me go back in my mind to my wedding day and think about how happy & excited I was to marry my best friend and to see that happen to two very special people on national television was truly amazing. So thank you Prince William & Princess Kate for letting us in on your special day! I will never forget it.

So my one word to sum it all up: STUNNING

Relaxing Saturday

So today I went out to try on and order my bridesmaid dress for Lindsay's wedding in September at Charlotte's Weddings. This is the style of dress that I got in this color called majestic. It is adorable on but not that cute in this picture.

Alfred Sung

With some gold shoes and a bracelet and earrings... it's going to be super cute! Especially after I lose my baby weight completely... which I am still working on. But I am bound and determined to be back to 125 by her wedding in September.

Then on my way home I met my two boys at Hot Pot sushi for lunch. Now we're home with a roast in the crock pot, (recipe on Kelly's Korner Recipes) which is smelling heavenly as I write this, and I'm doing laundry and dishes and just hanging out with my two boys. Gotta love a great relaxing Saturday!
