Funky Dress Love

The other dia I went to Barneys COOP for the 2nd time to try on the Diane von Furstenberg Hatsu dress. I brought my friend (smiling in the doorway of the dressing room) to tell me if I was being absolutely insane. The back of the dress looked boxy and gigantic, but there was something I absolutely loved about it. It was comfy as can be, ON SALE, had a funky neon orange colorblock which somehow complimented my ghostly pale skin. Did I buy it? No... and it is one of those that go into my shopping regrets :(

While I was in the dressing room, some horribly rude woman felt the nerve to tell me that the dress looked absolutely terrible. Before she offered me her opinion though, she decided to roll her eyes a whole bunch and shake her head while looking at my friend hoping for her to agree on how ugly the dress was. Her behavior almost pushed me to buy it on the spot.

WHAT IS WITH ALL THE CRAZY SHOPPERS LATELY?

Speaking of crazy shoppers, I was at Neiman Marcus on Saturday browsing through one of their sale racks. I don't know about you, but I can perfectly look through a rack with someone on either side of me. Usually, people move at some sort of pace and I am happy to move along with it. Anyhoo, while browsing the rack, this old lady started huffing and puffing. "EXCUSE ME" she said while huffing and puffing, to which I said "yes?, did I hit you? Oh I am sorry" then she proceeded by telling me how rude I was without taking her eye off of me. It really freaked me out. I started trembling and it totally ruined my shopping experience. Worst part is I had my hand on a Rachel Zoe maxi skirt that I wanted to try on, but the whole experience turned me off so badly that I left. Why is it that once you leave, you always think of the BEST things to say? What I wish I had said was........

WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO CALL YOU AN AMBULANCE!????????????????????????????

Sorry for the ranting. I think I will stick to shopping online from now on.

Happy Thursday :)

Hair

So the wedding is not set until next March, and even though I am not a fan of long engagements, having it in March does have its perks. The top of the list? I get to make sure my hair is as long as possible. I have had my hair quite long before, but I didn't do it properly - meaning I had neglected getting trims when I should have because long healthy hair is on a completely different level then long straggly-split-ended hair. My current hair inspiration is Lana del Rey (total girl crush), from her Blue Jeans video (I know it is extensions, but still, the length and healthiness is gorgeous).

Beautiful.

Here is where my hair is now:

I am using Pureology hydrate shampoo and conditioner (the one in the purple bottle). This shampoo and conditioner is SO amazing. The salon I go to convinced me to buy the green reparative Pureology line, and I HATE it. I read somewhere that the protein in that product can be bad for your hair...........I'll give it to my fiance to use because boys will literally use anything (and anything is better than the Suave he has in his shower).

I am also using It's a 10! which is the best detangler out there. When you have long hair, it tends to get super tangly. Ripping through tangles is NO BUENO when you try to grow your hair long.

And.......... I am also taking prenatal vitamins. Someone told me it helps your hair, so why not?

Anyone else growing their hair????????????

On to Weddings

Every since I was a little girl I have been obsessed with weddings, mostly the wedding dress. My mother used to buy me Brides magazine when we were in the check out counter of the grocery store so that I could look through all the ads with beautiful dresses (she stopped this once she realized the magazines included honeymoon stuff...lol). I remember the first dress I fell in love with was from a Vera Wang ad, and at 7 years old, I vowed to wear a Vera Wang dress when I walked down the aisle. Today, I still love wedding dresses but they give me major anxiety! Especially since I will be purchasing one soon. I want to make sure that whatever I walk down the aisle in I am 100% happy with and makes me feel beautiful, so I plan on taking my time if necessary. So, in taking my time, I am taking baby steps and have started thinking about shoes (I know, I should probably wait until after I get my dress). I like the idea of buying a pair of shoes I can wear again, but I want something elegant and bridal like. Here are a few that strike my fancy:These are my dream Louboutin wedding shoes. Very bridal. They are no longer available through major retailers, so my only option would be to go through eBay. Love them.
Sergio Rossi cage booties. These shoes are so amazing. They are so interesting and different yet feminine and SUPER FANCY. I would wear these again and again and again and again. Even though they are so different, the fact that they are satin, nude, and have crystals makes them still work for a bride.
Love Love.
Prada

These ones are my favorite. A perfect option that would work well for any future occasion. The Prada website has a pair that are even more gorgeous (without a platform, and the silver color seems more bright and paler). The blue stones work beautifully as a "something blue". I am currently waiting for them to go on sale :)

What are your thoughts? What is your dream wedding shoe?????????
