MKE BParty w/ my ladies:)

holy hell. I had my Bachelorette Party. It.Was.AWESOMEEEEEEEE:):) I really can't say enough about it. SO I'll let the abundance of photos below do the talking. These may be repeats if you checked out Facebook cause I do plan to put a few up there so the ladies have better access to them. But otherwise...this is it!!!

UP lady Carrie, me and cousin Neen chilling outside of Club Charlies. GREAT place to start and end the night!

DOWN more chilling.

UP we also walked around the Third Ward in the afternoon. They have a great Public Market, where we had some lunch and a margarita:) I suggest this to anyone looking for a nice afternoon of browsing...it's just a really great area of the city!

UP/DOWN the rest of the night was just good ol' fashioned...clean...fun:) Nothing too crazy. And though this picture may scream otherwise...it was really pretty laid back!

i just want to thank everyone again. It was such a fantastic day/night and I am still freaking surprised every time someone goes out of their way to help with this wedding and be there for me. Just coming ALL the way to freaking Milwaukee for my BParty was SO much to ask and I just love that everyone made time to be there with me!:)

24 more days:)

xoxo

and i thought i had it all figured out...

still having 'thoughts' about the plan for my BParty. Yes. I'm annoyed with myself at this point. I just want it to be what I want and something that doesn't put us all in the poor house...kinda. And something that everyone else will enjoy too. I know that can't always be the case...so I'm just hoping that my 'chill' night out will appeal to everyone and the fact that there's going to be such a great group of girls...I think that'll be what makes it such an amazing night:)

right now:

- we have a plan...one that I feel like changing. Crap.

- i have no outfit. Crap.

- and yeah...feeling stressed. Not about this wedding...things have just been somewhat crazy. A great weekend that ended with a bunch of ridiculously sad news and losses and change.

And now I'm exhausted from thinking.

SO to end the night....some BParty inspiration that makes me happy. I know I'll get it together. Give me 24 hours:)

UP Urban Outfitters - adorable banner. A repeat on this blog and a must have:)

UP/DOWN The House of Bachelorette - cute crown and some tasteful buttons for my ladies:)

UP/DOWNnnnn Hallelu - some adorable outfits. YES...the girls have already shut down the idea of a romper but would it hurt for me to order it and just seeeee!? Yay?! Nay?!;)

the dress below looks fun and a bit hippy, which I like. Thinking that since I have less than 2 weeks...I need to take a leap of faith here and just up and order something! NOW!

DOWN liking this color option. Better for future wear:)

for now...I'll be thinking and pulling my shit together and you'll all be the first to know:)

i can't get dressssedddd!!

54 days. That is the amount of time I have to find an in yo face (no clue what that means), PRETTY, hey - I'm the fucking bride-to-be BParty look:).

below are some looks that I've been playing with. Nothing feels...right. And sticking to our theory, that things have to be RIGHT...I'll wait till it is...right:)

UP/DOWN shorts: PacSun silk blazer: Gap (supa' sale - $98, on sale for $25)

UP/DOWN Deb Shop - but seriously, what gives with the bra pads being completely...THERE!?!

UP/DOWN Deb Shop - super adorable but not sure if it's what I want to go with.

these final 3 dresses are from Francesca's Collection. None of which had what I was hoping for. Which is disappointing, because I'm a huge fan of Francesca's:)

DOWN this is kindaaaaa what I'm shooting for. I loved this outfit. I think about it often...dreams and all:) SO...keeping this in mind on my search.

and the search continues...

penis-less night.

75 days till my BBBBBB-PAR-TAY!!! You betcha' bitches!

i'm not a huge fan of the 'penis' themed bparties. I'm not hinting around...Don't bring your penis necklaces or your penis topped straws or your blow-up penis to my BParty cause it won't be welcomed with opened arms. You will not find me cuddling with a life-sized penis at the end of the night...as I've said...those days are over for this lady;)

don't get me wrong! Love looking at pictures of the ladies that go that route! They all look like they're having a blast and the penis usually has a name by the end of the night and it's a wonDEful time;). But I'll pass.

I'm 28 and in 75 days...I'll be this 28...plus another 75 days...

REGARDLESSSSSS. I have a strict NO PENIS RULE!!!;)

UP there can be cussing. I'm not 100% class:) And, so yeah...this $14 banner from Urban Outfitters...hands down...has to be there:)

UP i love how classy this whole BParty look is. Me wants.

DOWN i'll take a crown. Yes. I think I shall:) - Gorgeous Wedding Stuff $8.99

rockin' it MY bparty style.

oh, my lord. I know, I knowwww. I do realize I have 129 days (who's counting...;) till the BParty but it has yet to stop me from doing a butt load of Internet browsing regarding the topic!!

keep in mind as I drag you through my long thought process:

the theme of the Bparty is me wearing white and all the ladies wearing some variation of pink or red.

okay...that doesn't really seem 'theme-like' to me...but it is what I want. And so maybe the theme is me getting what I want!;)

UP kinda cute and involves some pink to match the ladies...

UP i love that pleated dress with these cutttttte heels. We got the white I am aiming for and these super adorably vintage looking heels to tie in with my 'theme'!

UP okay...one of my girls should most definitely jump on this amazing outfit. Great stuff happening here and these heels are amazing!!! I'm actually kinda feeling Courts on this one...but how does one turn this dress into a baby feeding station!?;)

UP of course that super detailed shoulder dress is Sold Out. But it's still a great look and I want those heels. Short heels are hard to come by in my closet and seeing as Jacob's the same height...I need to add shorty heels. SOON!

UP i think I just love the heels. I'd really have to order these and try them on and see if I could pull them off but I love the idea of a simple dress and then having some super fun feets happening. And if I haven't mentioned before, I have great toes. They're perfectly lined and were meant to live in warm temperatures all year round. Poor toes...WI is no good for you;(

thank you LuLu's for occupying 1 hour of my time while Jacob played video games:)

and so I think...

this hasn't been tweeked to perfection but these are my thoughts for my BParty. I feel like I'm getting closer to what I want...little by little.

i've got the tshirt.

skirt couldddd be on the way shortly...

now for the feets and the jewels:)

Target

Refinery29

Forever21

Payless

my little skirt.

how freaking adorable is this little skirt from Forever21?!

Yes. I thought you'd agree! And it's only $22 and I know the BParty is a million years away (or 138 days;) but it's way too cute to pass up.

SOooo I think I have my pretty little BFF convinced to find $50 worth of pretty things to buy herself, PLUS this skirt and then she'll get free shipping and then we'll BOTH be soooo SO happy;)

i'll keep you posted and put up some pics when the little guy arrives!

okay...ready or not...here are some ideas for me, for my BParty!:)

As you can see...I love a lot. So it could go from one end (slutty dress) to the other (skirt and converses). We shall see!

also, below are some pics of me. This is a dress I bought a while back and had considered for the Saturday night reception but it's just wayyyy to racy for a 'family' function.

So maybe it could be pulled off for a BParty with the ladies!? And it can be dressed up or down. I'm thinking converses or black lace-up gladiators!?

in total honesty...this is just a bittttt too tight for me and as much as it's tight...it's JUST as short. Hmm. No doing Jump Around (and if you want to really get in BParty mood - listen to this link...you won't be able to sit:) for this girl cause lady parts WILL come out;)

but with the Converses...it feels SO fun to me. But I'm mostly scared of lots and lots of unflattering shots surfacing of me in this dress. There are only 2 ways I can stand that make me look completely hot in this dress and neither of those 2 look natural. SO...

i tried it on for Jacob and of course he was clapping his hands like a little fatty getting served wings. For some reason his approval is not helping me make a decision about this;)
