I had the most amazing time at the wedding. Beforehand I was saying to my ladies that there was no way in hell that I would cry, but as soon as I saw Bri, I was bawling!!
I shall post some pictures of my dress another day. Once I've worked out how to mask the odd look on my face in the photos.

Shopping!
What does a girl do when she has 2 days off? SHOP! Really, I probably should have been resting and trying to get over this stupid cold I've had all Winter. Secondly, it would have been more sensible to tidy up the apartment! Nah! I have a wedding to go to (no, not my own) and wanted to find a dress.
Today I ended up at DFO South Wharf and (accidentally) bought 2 dresses. Again, excuse the dodgy picture quality. Doesn't really show how nice these dresses are.
The first one I got a Pilgrim. I'm always put off by the price of their clothes. But I picked this one up for 50% off the already reduced price, so only $39. I don't think I'll wear this one to the wedding, but I really liked it and these days I don't buy anything I really don't like.
The second one I can't find a picture of online so you will have to try to imagine it from this picture! I got it from Seed Femme. It's black (not what I initially wanted), sleeveless,falls just above the knee, crosses over at the front and has a tie at the waist. I'm instantly attracted to sequins these days and I like how these were bronze. It just fit me really well.
As I was browsing I noticed they had a promotion, buy 1 item you get 20% off, 2 items and get 30% off and 3 items and you get 40% off. I was excited about getting 20% off, as I really liked the dress and it was already reduced. At the register this lovely sales assistant tells me that if I get 3 things I will get 40% off. But instead of telling me to look around for more clothes, she tells me to buy a couple of charms ($2 each) and then I can get the 40% off! I was wrapped! She saved me another $16! Here are my two charms! Not sure what I'm going to do with them.
So all in all, a successful afternoon!

Wedding Ideas
I'm not rolling in cash at the moment so I'm trying to find a dress that I could wear with shoes that I already own. I have a pair of black wedges that are similar to these (and comfy!). I know they don't match perfectly, but I think they're alright.
It's been a long while....
Just some crappy iPhone photos to act as a make shift blog post. It has been a long time since I've posted anything. I really just haven't had anything exciting to say.

Put a bird on it...
Has anyone else seen this? I must admit that I am quite partial to things with birds, so I found it amusing. The reason I posted it is because as soon as I decided I wanted to make these stencil printed pillow cases, I couldn't help but want to put birds on them.
What i've decided to do before I attempt my bird designs is to put something that is even closer to my heart on it, a kitten. So i've decided that I will stencil a kitten onto the front of a white cushion. I picked up the cushion from Ikea for next to nothing.
I will update tomorrow with the finished product!
