fancy seeing you here...

I'm sure that is what you are thinking due to my prolonged prolonged absence due to office insanity with the High Museum Atlanta Wine Auction. I'll spare you all the details of my 80 hour work weeks because I believe this picture captures it all...

Hard at work with the Wine Auction

I've almost fully recovered...

No worries about my appearances at my brother's wedding this Saturday though...as a bm I get a mani/pedi on Friday and get my hair done the day of. Splendid! I made an extensive packing list of everything that must be moved south for my brief stay in Buckhead and realized I have yet to decide what shoes to wear with rehearsal dinner dress and  there is a lack of purse/clutch situation for rehearsal dinner. My dress is navy so my black Kate Spade will not suffice. Thoughts? Am pondering a pop of color that could also double with the Leifsdotter dress I purchased on sale with Sally that will be worn to Bridemaids Luncheon.

I will be hitting I-20 in about a half hour to head to Birmingham for a job interview...for a real job...of the full-time variety. I fear I cannot say anymore otherwise I might scare it away. Support in the form of thoughts, prayers, pleas and supplications welcome. Perhaps I will ease the stress and stop by Saks to ameliorate one of the fore-mentioned style issues...

Operation RTR Phase 2

After gathering advice and input from several sources (Sally, Dan and Liz), I decided on my RTR dress this weekend.



Nicole Miller Keyhole Goddess Gown


Thanks to Liz, I also discovered the RTR facebook page which among other things, has photos of real life Runway Renters wearing their dresses! I found several of the dress I chose, which made me very excited about the Rotaract Masquerade Ball Saturday night (post party update to come of course)!

The dress should arrive Friday. I opted for the two sizes to hopefully ensure it fits! Results to come...

well, i guess now is as good as time as any...

These were the words Alan began his proposal with to my roommate, Liz. In the spirit of Emily and Brad's engagement/break-up/working things out? I wanted to announce this engagement! They got engaged late Saturday afternoon and came to our friend, Samantha's apartment in midtown afterwards for a surprise gathering of family and friends. They are getting married October 15th!

the ring...side stones came from her grandmother's ring

This will be my 4th wedding appearance (Holley, Sally, and Kim in April) and a solid start on my bm dress collection. Stay tuned for color/style selection. She's only been engaged 3 days, and she already has date, church, reception venue, band and photographer. A wedding planning feat of unparalled efficiency.

Best Wishes & Congrats to Liz and Alan!
