AW: busting at the seams!

Today is exactly four months until the wedding, and I have a few really exciting checks to report!

1. My dress is ready!!!  But, being in Japan, I can't see it/get it until mid August. 

2. I also booked my first alteration appointment. 

3. I also bought my mermaid crinoline from underslips.com.  I bought white so I can dye it violet!




4.  And I also bought my cloche for my epics!  It's my birthday in three days, and... as much as I liked the cloches everyone posted, I loved the original best, and went for it.  Happy birthday to me!

5. And I lost another kilo today, (I haven't lost one in a few months) so that means I'm down 5 kilos since I started dieting a year and a half ago.  I know that seems like a long time, but I'm still proud.

6. But the real reason I'm busting at the seams is... my invites are done!!!  Here's a sneak peak... the rest is in my bio!

    Thanks for all the kind words, ladies!

    Ledalia--I've just changed my eating habits and I try to exercise, but definitely don't have an exercise routine.  I've never eaten badly, (no pop, no junkfood, no sweettooth), but I have always eaten bigger portions than I should of things.  So my big "diet" was just portion control, and focusing on drinking more water and eating more veggies and fruit.  I don't exercise regularly, but I am definitely exercising more than I was a year ago.  I go for runs sometimes, or do situps and pushups.  I ride my bike every day, but I have to because that's how I get to school.  oops!  like now!  I have to go!

  • I love the invitations - so cute!  and the slip is really cool.  Now I'm half-tempted to get one for my gown, even though I probably don't need one!

  • Great checks! I adore your cloche (glad you splurged for your b-day), and your invites are fabulous.
