Exciting purchases

I'm super excited!!!!

I have found my bridal shower dress and I am in LOVE! This picture doesn't do much justice but silhouette and ribbon empire really is beautiful and looks great on my body type. Plus I'm a sucker for lace.  My favorite part is I picked it up for $50!

I also stubbled upon the Jessica Simpson Dress collection in Nordstoms and holy crapper I LOVE them. They are super feminine and figure flattering. I may have to go back for a rehearsal dinner dress. This is by far my favorite. Imagine how cute it would be with a pair of nude pumps!

Another exciting purchase were wedding shoes. I want to make sure I added some color to my wedding and shoes were a place I knew I could do it. I have been trying to find shoes with a small heel. I love my fiancé but he is only 1 inch taller then me and I always feel like a fat amazon woman when I wear heels. (Do they maker heighters for men's shoes???)  There is color and the heel is modest enough for me to walk and feel comfy. I think I may have found the perfect ones. I really like them however not sure is I am loving them but its ok they were only $14!

Sadly, momma didn't find a dress today but I am confident we will get it some time soon! 

Shoes make everything better

Lately I have been feeling down in the dumps with a barrage of family issues. I'm feeling super fragile the last few weeks. I wish I could vent about them but no one wants to come to blog filled with sadness and negativity. In addition to all those messy things my car stalled 3 times on my way to work and I spilled coffee on my brand new white shorts today. I was really hoping for a better start to this 4 day work week. I'm just trying to keep my chin up and try to find positive in everything. These little pretties below are making me feel really good today.

These are the front runners for my wedding shoes. Originally I wanted green but I can help how perfect they are. Plus they are under $100!

I also really like these. The smaller heel will probably be more comfortable and also avoid the Amazon woman look. I always feel like an Amazon when I wear heels. I'm 5'7 with out heels and Brian is only 5'8. I have to admit I also love the $49 price tag.

I love Zappos for their free shipping both ways!

In addition to heels for the ceremony and early part of our wedding I'm going to purchase a pair of these BEAUTIES In addition to being extremely beautiful I highly recomend checking out the story behind the shoes on their website!

In closing I have to share another photo of some one that always makes me feel better.
