Hi, I’m confused.
Why am I back at work? Why did I have to set an alarm this morning? Why am I not lounging around in bed with M? Why is M on a plane to Texas for work for forever and ever and ever (or, four days)? Why are my PLANS TO CONTROL THE UNIVERSE AND DO THINGS SUCH AS TURN THE THURSDAY AFTER A HOLIDAY INTO A SATURDAY NOT WORKING? Ahem.
How was your 4th? Was it kind of dreary and blah with the clouds and the grey-ness and the “well, the weather is kind of appropriate as it is Britain-esque and we are celebrating our succession from them and…wait, no, that doesn’t make any sense at all.”
So yeah. We missed the fireworks. Because we were too busy drinking margaritas and eating guacamole by the spoonful (chips are just an unnecessary middleman). Proof that we are idiots: The packed restaurant cleared out around 9pm. We looked at each other - and the friends we were dining with - and kind of shrugged. I think I actually said, “oh good, now we can talk to each other without screaming.” Had we not been a) drunk or b) IDIOTS, we would’ve realized that everyone was clearing out to head over to the East River to watch the damn fireworks and we should’ve paid our bill and, you know, joined them. I was, however, wearing red (belt), white (tee-shirt) and blue (jeans) so hey, that has to count for something, eh?
Anyway. Work is kind of weird right now mainly because Tuesday was kind of weird. A major project fell through due to the incompetence of a higher-up and two of my most favoritest colleagues handed in their resignations, effective immediately. I’m all “that’s noble, y’all, but I need the damn paycheck” so here I am, without the two people I ate lunch with, got drinks after work with, nipped out for super-secret workday manicures with. And I’m bummed. And feeling DESERTED BY EVERYONE. My colleagues, my FIANCE (*shakes fist in general direction of Texas*).
So, in lieu of doing any real work (if you’re going to make me be here, I am going to silently protest being here by not doing anything related to what you pay me to do, suckas; also, I’m hungover), I will post some wedding dresses that I am currently obsessed with and am considering trying on when I lose ninety pounds and am roughly the weight of a Chihuahua:
We have the same taste. I was obsessed with all of these — that #1 dress was my inspiration throughout my search. But my, do I have hips, whereas these girls do not. How will they have children?
Anyway, I finally found the dress o’ my dreams — Casablanca Bridal, style 1816. It’s like these…with a flare! To hide hips! I am in loooooove.
The last one is very close to my wedding dress. Love Monique Lhuillier. Her stuff is amazing and very flattering. ps stay away from the white satin — sooo unflattering.
These are beautiful dresses, but I would look like a fat child in them. I think they are made for women with more height. I am a tiny 5 feet flat, thin, but not anorexic… which I think is what I would have to be to look that good in one of these. lol
The boobs alone would swallow the dress and make me look like a hoochie bride.
Don’t hate on Texas! Everything is BIGGER you know! Especially our fists. (I kid, I kid)
And why did I not picture you in lace at all? I’m sorry but those dresses remind me of doylies. And not in a good way.
Go back to your A-line whatever idea!#)@$$
I LOVE the first one. If it wasn’t for the price tag I would have searched it out to try on. I too, am into lace.
I think #2 is lovely. But I’m biased as my dress had a trumpet skirt, too. Sigh. : )
As a note aside, dress shopping was one of my favorite parts of the planning process (um, I’m not sure who wouldn’t like dress shopping for their wedding, but maybe there is some girl out there who feels this way). ENJOY IT!
Hello cosmetically linked sister. That dress, the very fist dress you have pictured…is the NUMBER ONE saved image on my computer in a folder marked “Ideas”. Number one. As in, the same. Exactly. Maybe if we put our heads together we could conjure up some super power.
Um…yes. Cosmically connected. Otherwise we’d just be creepy!
How funny - a good friend recommended a very similar style to me, even though, ONCE AGAIN, I’m not engaged. In fact, she did this early on when I had just began dating the X. I love them all, but what I think is even funnier is the shots of these “brides” - haystacks in the background, for real? Puh-lease!
I love love love Monique Lhullier and I think the first one is gorgeous!
Also, lace tends to be quite forgiving (unlike satin!) My sister got married in a very similiar but Pronovias lace-y dress and she looked great! And she was a UK size 12 at the time. So don’t go all Chihuahua on us just yet!
so, big surprise, we have the same taste. i LOVE the first one…who is it by? its gorgeous. i’m so glad you had a happy fourth! and hang in there with the job. we’re all here for ya
xo, blogging barbie
OMG I LOVE the wedding dresses! All of them - so classy and gorgeous and feminine
The 1st and 4th are my favorite. So pretty!
I like the 1st one the best!
I love love love the 3rd one. sorry the fiance is out of town, boo
Hey. I’m not exactly sure how I managed upon your blog. But, Hey! I’m here.
The first one kind of looks like something a stripper would wear to her wedding. Far too low cut for me. IMO.
And, just to answer your ‘fear’: Vegas will TOTALLY, 100%-ily be what you’re expecting. And, more.

Um, I love all all the dresses -such a hot style right now1 Meow!
2 and 3, not so much, but 1 and 4? Love. Especially 1, but that’s all you and Molly because I’m afraid my 32Bs just wouldn’t cut it.
I absolutely love the first one- I’m usually a more casual I-would-wear-a-white-J.Crew-dress type, and would never imagine myself in lace, but that first one is exquisite. I also really love the satin bow at the hip.
The first or the last, for sure! Lace is beautiful!
I might have to take that fourth one for myself. All awesome choices, thanks for not going poofy princess on us.
I somehow happened upon your blog while looking for lace wedding dress styles. I absolutely LOVE the third picture. Who is the designer?
Thanks!
