BM Dress Picks

So it has been a truly long and busy long weekend for me. I took off Monday to today for cottaging, partying in Niagara Falls and then bridesmaid dress shopping with a huge group of gals. After trying on ALOT of dresses, I have narrowed my choices down to two. I am leaning more towards the first one as it will be a July outdoors wedding and I want to not melt, but the second one is so sexy! Keep in mind I would be getting the second one shortened to cocktail length if I choose it. Actually I would be getting the first one shortened if I picked it as well. Both dresses are by Jasmine B2.

Here's the first:
And the second:
The rest of the bridesmaids are wearing the light chiffon like in the first dress. Its 75% my choice. I love them both, I want to wear both hahaha. What do you think?

Draper Headboard

I am constantly eyeing new ways to makeover my tiny little apartment. Sometimes its just little things, a pillow, a picture etc. This time, I have my eye on something bigger that could motivate a massive overhaul with painting and new furniture. What could it be? Well as you can see in the title, its the headboard of the Draper residence from AMC's hit series, Mad Men.
It stands out in the couple's master bedroom as the absolute focal point. It adds life to what would otherwise be quite a dull looking space. Note that matching princess telephone.

I found an image from House to Home that shows a very similar headboard decorated in another bedroom with more pazazz and style that has my mind spinning with ideas.
Who knows where this will go, lets see how long this mini-obsessions lasts.

Bridesmaids Dresses Galore!

Next year my best friend will make her way down the aisle and become a mrs! I am so very excited for her and her fiance :) When she asked me to be her bridesmaid, I was positively thrilled!! The big day is July 31, 2010 which is more than a year away; although that hasn't stopped us from checking out selections of dresses online in her favourite colour for us, tiffany blue.

Tiffany blue, we both agree, is a colour that is flattering on most people. Her bridal party comes in all different shapes and sizes, hair colours, skin tones, so this choice of dress colour is perfect. Plus for a summer wedding, its bright, cheery and fun!

Each of us get to pick our own style of dress, keeping in mind the dress is short (tea or cocktail length) and is in tiffany blue. Therefore the possibilities are widened significantly :) Here are some of the dresses I've been admiring. These dresses are by Jasmine Bridal and Mori Lee.

Which one is your favourite?








This dress below is my favourite, and they said they can do special order for it shorter!
We officially go shopping for dresses next month!! Yay!!! :) I cannot wait! Now to go and look at shoes....
