Roses are Red...

One of my coworkers is getting married this weekend in Napa, and I just picked up my dress from the tailor last night!  It needed a few alterations to cinch it in at the waist, and I am happy to announce that it turned out perfectly!  I am so excited to wear it this weekend!!



I'm sure there will be more pictures to come, but it's very Betty Draper - a full skirt with inverted pleats, and a pretty red floral print...  LOVE!

Rent the Runway

This site has blown up in the past year, and while I have yet to use it, all my friends have been saying FABULOUS things about it forever.  With my twenty-eighth birthday just around the corner, I think this might be the time to test it out.  In short the concept is: pick an occasion where you want to look jaw-droppingly stunning, rent a dress, pay 10% of the full price, no penalty for damages, cleaning, etc.

Not too shabby when they are offering up Zac Posen, Herve Leger, Halston Heratage, Badgley Mischka... you get the idea.  My birthday is just about two weeks away, and so I have some serious decisions to make... I've narrowed it down from about 40 options to about 7... not bad.

Variations of Sweet and Flirty:

ERIN BY ERIN FETHERSTON: Viceroy Butterfly Dress

ERIN BY ERIN FETHERSTON: Liza Lurex Dress

Sassy Versions of the Carrie Dress

HALSTON HERITAGE Carrie Dress

HALSTON HERITAGE Disco Party Dress

PARKER Red Lip Smack Dress

Something a Little Sexier

MILLY Chained to You Dress

So each category is pretty different, right?  One is more demure, one screams I'm going to party my way from 27 to 28, and the third is somewhere in the middle.  All the dresses have great reviews, so I am really torn.  Perhaps I should do two?  Oh the woe's of trying to stick to my "budget".
