After my next 10 pounds, these will become mine.  7 more to go!

I am having terrible thoughts.  Terrible, terrible thoughts.

Vera Wang Branches Out

Regardless of what you know about weddings. Every single person has decidedly heard of Vera Wang.  Her name is synonymous with wedding attire and even in the couture clothing world.  A Vera Wang gown in itself is something to be desired, not easily attained, and certainly not without throwing down a huge chunk of change.

Vera, I believe, is genius.  She's got an eye for gowns that flatter the body, adding whimsy and romance, alluding to the very tradition of a wedding gown, yet never leaving out the details that make it unique.  And, even more brilliant, she has inserted her name into nearly every market.  Now, she has joined with David's Bridal to make a collection of gowns that will essentially give anyone an opportunity to wear a Vera. 

Sure, the price points are still steep - ranging from $500.00 - $2000.00 (gowns, not accessories) - making them very top of the line for David's Bridal.  The collection includes not only bridal gowns, but sashes and belts, head wear, among other accessories.  It debuted in David's Bridal stores across the country today.

Take a look at the collection - what do you think?

That pink gown with the cut organza skirt is to die for.  Imagine it in a beautiful white or ivory.  Perfection.

Update:

The extermination went on yesterday as planned. I was told that there was "no additional bedbug activity spotted, dead or alive"

YAAAYYY!!!!

Even though I am decidely NOT yet ready for children, when it does happen, they will wear teeny-tiny boat shoes. Definitely.

Any mommies out there? Snatch these up for a small $12.00 - Available today at RueLaLa

Look-Alikes

I think Sir Ian McKellen looks just like my grandfather. (I guess he was knighted at some point, hence the "Sir")
I mean, it has always taken me by surprise how much they resemble each other.

In fact, when plugging my face into those "Celebrity Look-Alike" applications, Ian McKellan has appeared more than once in the number one spot. I'm going to take that as looking like my grandfather, not Gandalf.

Cute? or Scary?

An Open Letter to my Bedbugs

Dear Bedbugs,

You have made my life a living hell. You have made my apartment look like a landfill. You have made my once well-behaved kitten a little hellion. You have cost me hours upon hours of precious sleep causing my immune system to plummet below the charts thus allowing shit to fill my nose, throat, and lungs.


I'm tired, cranky, coughy, scratched, and bloody. And, I hate you for it.

No love here,

Virginia
