glam city!

jewelry and makeup...a few of my favorite things!

last week, i ordered a bracelet and earrings from the white aisle (see posts below - i still don't know how to hyperlink an older post!) and i received them in the mail just a couple of days later. i am SO pleased with the quality, sparkliness (you know what i mean), and overall beauty of the pieces.




...and yesterday, i had my makeup trial appointment with the fabulous posh brides by kari. i was pleased with the final result, and it lasted all day long! the slightest reservation i had was that it was maybe a touch too dark. what do YOU think?

my first REAL purchase!

...ok, that's a white lie. BUT it is my first-real-the-wedding-is-coming-soon-purchase! i bought the newbury earrings and september bracelet from the white aisle. i can't wait for them to come in the mail (who doesn't love packages on the doorstep, by the way?!) and try them on. i think they will go perfectly with the look i am going for and add a little bit of glam to my dress and flower (see below).

YAY! i am making progress ;)

september bracelet?

could this have been made for me?

it's from the white aisle and i think it is gorgeous! plus it's literally called "september bracelet." how could i say no? esPECially with a price tag of $24.99.

now here i go again...of course i'm not going to purchase it right now; i'm thinking to myself, "i'll just wait and keep looking." and then my inner conscious says, "MANDY! buy the blasted bracelet. your time is ticking."

what should i do?!

BM jewelry

my bridesmaid kristen's mom is very talented when it comes to making jewelry. she offered a long time ago to make the jewels to be draped from my bridesmaids for the big day, and i was thrilled. i gave them to my girls at our BM dinner a few weeks ago. here is what they look like:
and this how i presented them. they all loved them!

oops.

well, it happened. i changed my mind. (insert screeching horror music here!)

i am currently checking out different jewelry options. i just am not IN LOVE with what i've chosen. so shoot me! i mean really...i bought a bracelet on etsy and now i'm not crazy about it.

so. i'm looking around. big deal, right?
