today is the big day, i cant sleep and my heart is pounding.

something blue...

shoes - joanne mercer $100

day bag - esprit marked down to $50

vintage hat - thrift store $130

cotton singlets - just jeans 2 for $10

black dress - grace fashion $20

j's grandma came over today to drop off my something old, something borrowed something blue... i love the history behind these with at least 4 brides having borrowed them in the past for their own wedding.

sorry for the lack of posts... with only a week before the wedding i have been busy catching up with my work at the studio and then doing what i can to organise the wedding when i get home. on the plus side, made a lot of things for the wedding and have enjoyed creating them at the same time. i have started to post some of these projects on my other blog 'i made this'. check it out if you get the chance.

PS. the next time you hear from me i will no longer be a miss.... yay!

THE USED WAS AWESOME!!!!!!
had some guys sweat drop into my mouth so im FREAKING out about that but otherwise the night was spent squished against people in the mosh, singing my lungs out and sweating profusely... just how i like it.

the band were so good live.
highlights...
some girl received berts hat!
some girl was picked from the crowd by bert because she had on a pair of these gloves. he told her to chuck him up one. so she did and he wore it for a song. he then pulled up some random kid from the crowd and brought him up on stage. the kid who wouldn't have been older than 10 was singing and moshing, giving the audience the finger... he was so cute. bert then gave the kid the glove.
there were was a group of older girls who belonged in maybe a molly cyrus concert, all done up with high heels and crap. they were in the thick of it all and were all like.... oh my god stop pushing you losers. what did they expect THEY WERE IN A MOSH PIT!!!

anyway have to go. will talk again this afternoon. still on a buzz... have to work all day, then j's party tonight. don't think i can make it.
does anyone have a bottle of red bull?

catching up

valentines day..

was low key this year,strictly no gift giving just a dinner out. j took me to delugo, the restaurant where we had dinner on the night of the proposal. it was very sweet, i think it might be another tradition of ours in the making. (we shall see)

as mentioned in previous posts, i had my 2nd hair trial on the same night. i was not 100 happy. the hair was too old fashioned and she didn't do my eyes very well. but everyone loved it so i felt kind of overwhelmed and persuaded that this was the right hairdresser for me. so i ended up canceling my previous hair dresser and booked these new guys in. that night, after everyone had left and we were about to go to bed. i looked at the photos from the day, and the more i looked at them the more i knew that i had made a big mistake and it was one that can not be undone.

on the plus side i did feel that the foundation was lighter and i really got along with the hair and makeup artist.

i have also emailed them since with my concerns about the eyeliner not being thick enough etc. they have assured me that it can be easily fixed.

i am also going for yet another hair trial with the same lady to see whether or not she can recreate the hair style i had from my previous trial. (yes more money)

anyway, regardless of how much its going to cost me i just need to know that that they can get it

right on the day.

the next day...

j's mum took me everywhere. the florist, ikea, thrift stores you name it!

i was so tired that by the end i had to sit down in the middle of the grocery store, (isle 6 next to the canned tuna) so that i could catch my breath. on the plus side i was able to tick off a wedding task and i found these lovely treasures at the thrift store. makes me want more, more, more... stuff that i don't need.

christmas in february

j's brother is back from germany and he had word that i was collecting christmas decorations.

so....

i came home to this beautiful little snow flake.

that night j and i went out for dinner at a new italian restaurant called vapiano. the food was great and so was the decor. (there is even a live tree built into one of the tables, so cool)

it has two levels each with a labyrinth of communal benches, tables and couches to sit down on. but unfortunately new restaurant + good food + great decor = long wait, no seats and a very very loud dining experience. wasn't entirely happy with the experience because of these things. maybe once the hype has died down j and i might go there again.

wore:

top- just jeans

singlet (underneath) - bonds mens

hair trial tomorrow....

kind of angry that i will be spending close to $200 on something that i may not be happy with...

oh well i guess we will just have to see...

3 for $10

is what the sign said... and it was enough to make my day.

i originally planed to go to stones corner to shop for accessories for my wedding. however, i left there with another blue dress in which i plan to wear this valentines day, and 3 tops from jeans west for only $10!!!

(note: don't be alarmed.. the little eyes peeping through in the following photos

is just our darth vader potato head)

blue dress- barkins (table eight outlet) $30

just jeans tops

now, stones corner is where you go shopping if you have either lots of money, or very little at all. there is a hand full of boutique designer shops with stock that can make your mouth water and one or two retail outlets with last season stock. as you may know i have been saving up like crazy and have been so good not to buy anything... but in my defence, these recent buys are really cheap and i am definitely guilt free.... yes... guilt free... if i keep telling myself that i will eventually believe it.

speaking of guilt, i still have to loose a couple of inches in order to fit my wedding dress... however, tonight as we loitered the city j and i had greasy take out topped off with a large scoop of ice cream.

i have yet to learn and master the art of how not to give in to temptation...

wore:
black petty coat-?
cream top-sports girl 3-4 years ago?
